Thoughts on "Invisible"

valarltdI am receiving confirmation that I don't think like most vidders. I liked this vid, and got the point. It's not great. It's certainly not "Dirty World" "Affirmation" or "Come What May." But it isn't bad.
What I see are sidekicks that are (romantically) invisible to their heroes.
Jim and Blair, Han & Luke, Holmes& Watson, and especially Michael & Brian.
I hate the song. It's manufactured pop at its worst. (Says the woman who vidded "100 Years") But this song makes me hate it a little less.
The changes of fandoms does not feel organic. It comes in odd places, not at the end of a verse or chorus, but in mid-verse.
As much as I love my boys in a slashy context, I don't think Star Wars fit this vid as well as some. The Brian/Michael bit was inspired, and the QL bits were good. Even X-Files worked. But neither SW nor Highlander worked very well for me.
But I do get it.
