At this particular moment this vid cheered me when I needed it and so it is currently my favorite MCU video ever. Thank you! I would welcome your viewer's commentary on the particular shots you chose for "Christopher Street" and "A-C-R-E" (?).

Thanks, I'm glad it gave you joy.

The Next Stop! sections were the thing that underwent the biggest changes with ghost_lingering's beta review. So the problem is that non-NY viewers aren't going to care and NY viewers potentially are going to get really hung up on the details of these specific lyric matches. In general, I wanted those two sections to reflect rapidly moving around the city, that geography exists and these places have some sort of spatial relationship to each other, but originally the first Next Stop section featured a bunch of clearly visible street signs including the Sanctum on Bleecker Street and ghost_lingering bumped really hard on the street names not matching the lyrics so the new goal became to create that sense of motion around the city without having any locations glaring enough that a viewer might say "Wait a minute, that's clearly not a good lyric match". In the first Next Stop section, that meant offering all of the interdimensional portals as a sort of alternative way of moving around the city, like "I've been showing all the mass transit but some people in the MCU have this very specific non-mass transit", and I hoped that the fact that it was doing this other thing entirely would distract enough from the fact that Central Park is not Atlantic Avenue. In similar fashion, in the second Next Stop, the hope is that explosions will have the same effect, this is showing all around the city in a rapidly escalating war mode.

You got me. ;)

It worked well for me! Motion and transformation...

offering all of the interdimensional portals as a sort of alternative way of moving around the city, like "I've been showing all the mass transit but some people in the MCU have this very specific non-mass transit"

Which requires OMNY, no doubt....

I enjoyed the ending shot, which to me read as that moment when the train ride takes just a few more minutes longer than you kind of expected and you're just sitting waiting for it to finish, the same way the song goes on for like 12 more measures than I kind of expected...

There was an amazing moment in the room when everyone realized at the exact same time that I wasn't going to be cutting away from the train ride shot and started laughing. It was so gratifying.

"viewer's" - autocorrect failure there for "vidder's"
