Avengers: Endgame stars appeared on ABC’s Disney Family Sing-Along special tonight, appearing to pay tributes to first responders, healthcare workers, and other essential workers who are helping to keep the economy running and Americans healthy amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Sebastian Stan, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, and Colbie Smulders appeared in the closing moments of the special, with a sign reading “I love you 3000” prominently bringing the Tony Stark energy to the stage. Fans on Twitter have locked on to the “I love you 3000” sign, with the phrase turning up in over a hundred tweets in the minutes immediately following the end of the special.

There was a split between the fans who appreciated seeing their faves again, and enjoyed the musical uplift in hard times — and those who felt like Marvel’s earlier tweet admonishing people to stay until the end of the credits, only to have the surprise be that a few of their actors had a brief cameo in the sing-along special wasn’t enough. Others wondered why some of their own faves who had prior musical experience, like Cloak & Dagger‘s Aubrey Joseph, didn’t make the cut (the answer there, likely, is that the actors who appeared are tied to Disney+, who sponsored the sing-along).
