Saturday Night Live just served us a crossover of 'Avengers: Endgame' and 'Game of Thrones'
Saturday Night Live.
Have we not all imagined a crossover between two beloved fantasy-filled storylines -- ‘Avengers’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ at least once in our lifetime? Read 'GoT' season 8 episode 4 review here.
This week on Saturday Night Live, we were served just that as characters of the pop culture did a parody sketch of the classic show Family Feud. As most call it, it was a mashup with Kenan Thompson taking over the role of Steve Harvey, or ‘Steve of House Mustache’ (as he identified himself), while SNL regulars dressed up as fan favourite characters from the biggest franchises of this decade.
While Thor (Alex Moffat), Thanos flaunting his Infinity Gauntlet (Beck Bennett), Okoye (Ego Nwodim) and Groot (Leslie Jones) represented the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ team, the ‘Game of Thrones’ side consisted of Ser Brienne of Tarth (Kate McKinnon), Tormund Giantsbane (Mickey Day), Melisandre (Cecily Strong) and Bran Stark (Kyle Mooney).
Thompson who was dressed as Harvey introduced the show and said, “All right, let’s start with the Avengers because this show is just like their movies: We’re going to open with 45 minutes of introductions.”
It then followed an introduction to the ‘1,000-year-old witch Melisandre’, who said that the skit is "dark and full of terrors".
