Love, love, love Welcome to you all. Thank you guys for taking time out of your very busy day to speak with us. I'd like to start by asking how you guys got your powers. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Well for me it was quite strange. I can't wait to see this movie. Yeah. Are you okay? I think so. I have powers! Finally, now we don't have to hide that we have powers anymore. Cool. I'm here to help the people of Earth. I was eluded when you said the powers. Well it'll be me. Wonderful to meet you. You two must also have superpowers. Yes. Yes. Well let's all get to work then. Sounds good. That's how we met then when we formed this alliance of superheroes. Wonderful. Thank you guys for all the hard work you do keeping us safe. May I ask who the toughest supervillain you've had to fight is? That'll be me. I'm very persistent. Hey, over here. Hey, get that back. It's time we left. The door is that way. Hey guys, look over there. The door is... Look, we both want to help look after the planet. Why don't we work together and find a nice way to do it? Okay. So, will you join us and together we can save the planet? That's how I came to join this group. Thank you for sharing your past as a supervillain. It's great to see you on the side of good now. Some of you here are aliens but some of you aren't humans either. We have a few robots in our group as well. We have to find it now. It's the only way we're getting out of here. We're completely lost otherwise. We have to rest. We haven't eaten anything for ages. I can help this. I can start over when it's finished. Why haven't you stopped yet? Oh, come on. Not long to go now. There it is. No! So, we're a bunch of superhumans, aliens and robots but we're all here to save the day. Don't forget to subscribe!
