Premise:
Happy Hogan sets out to prove his hero chops when Justin Hammer lays siege to Avengers Tower during the annual holiday party.
Good Queen Darcy last looked down
on the feast of Steve Rogers
When the snow lay on the ground
something, something, something
Thor has a giant neck
It is full of muscles
He’s just a little schmoopy noodle
going through the cosmos
The build up and payoff for the W.E.R.N.E.R personality AI was outstanding! It's not listed in the IMDB credits as of Christmas Eve, but I wonder if it's Paul F. Thompkins' impression or possibly the actual Werner Herzog seeing as he appeared on The Mandalorian season 1.
Oh it has to be the real Werner. It's such a perfect cameo.
Edit:
While the W.E.R.N.E.R voice does sound like Herzog, the director opted not to join the franchise... Herzog was approached to voice the role, but "respectfully declined." Instead, the A.I. was voiced by Ross Marquand, who also voiced Ultron in the animated show's first season and played Red Skull in Avengers: Endgame.
