Kate Herron, director of the Marvel/Disney+ Loki series, made a Kill List musical parody

The year: 2012. The director: Kate Herron, who’s helming all six episodes of Marvel’s Disney+ series Loki (which we got a very brief glimpse of last night). The project: a two-minute comedic musical adaptation of a critically acclaimed independent film. That film: Um, Kill List?

Okay, perhaps it’s not quite accurate to call it a musical. It’s more like a song and dance number parodying one act of a longer, twistier, more complex film. It’s also not so much about Kill List, the 2011 film directed and co-written by Ben Wheatley as it is about the unlikely-verging-on-absurd things we choose to adapt into musicals, and the laziness and cognitive dissonance that characterizes some (though far from all) such adaptations. At least, that’s this writer’s interpretation. But none of that really matters, because it’s Kill List: The Musical, and the fact that such a thing exists is worth celebrating regardless. (So is Polygon’s Matt Patches, whose helpful tweet alerted us to the existence of Herron’s short.)
