Cheesy as it sounds on paper, the execution of it works surprisingly well. Each relationship has a different art style—Daredevil and Elektra are done in 8-bit similar to an old school video game, Spider-Man and Mary Jane are in a chibi style, and so on—and they all feel like they fit the particular couple featured. It even uses to a segment to give a brief shoutout to Angela and her wife Sera, a pairing that hasn’t been seen in the comics in some time. For as much turbulence as Marvel likes to put its couples through from time to time, watching some of those love stories play out to describe an actual relationship in a two-minute music video is oddly effective. And it doesn’t hurt that the single itself is good, as far as pop songs of this type are concerned.
