@mattandmathic

It's just that, when you're a superhero, you can't tell who you are so love is all you need to know. That's the point of the video cause the two lovers could'nt know they were enemies because they can't tell. One of the two lovers could say: who are you? and the other one would say: love is all you need to know.
