Now, I understand. I know that you are all thinkging, "wow, nathon, going for the views by reviewing the largest parody out there, huh?" Okay, first of all, I can't hear what you are saying. Second of all, yes! I am looking for views! Besides, this can only be the creme of the crop, if everybody who watches Minecraft parodies are smart people who seek out only the best content.
PARAMETER 1: SONG CHOICE
For the song choice, and how it relates to the video itself, I think that the larger-than-life sound of "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay fits very well with the subject of the video.
PARAMETER 2: LYRICAL REPLACEMENT
As for the lyrical replacing from "Viva la Vida", it was very literal and to-the-point. The use of "Noteblock choirs" is quite a stretch to fit it into the Minecraft theme.
PARAMETER 3: VIDEO
The video was... servicable. Perhaps it's that CaptainSparklez made Fallen Kingdom, makes a bunch of money, and then everybody else follows suit, but the animation is so bland. There's nothing special going on here, it's a guy fighting some mobs, he loses, he looks around at some destroyed buildings. There are like a million of these out there on Youtube. There's nothing interesting to it. Sure, you could say it's a classic, like The Odyssey, or Sgt. Pepper, but just like those works, they seem bland and boring in comparison to everything else out there.
TL:DR
Fallen Kingdom is the Call of Duty of Minecraft parodies. High-quality, but ultimately substanceless.
