In 2001, Destiny's Child sang: "I don't think you're ready for this jelly." In 2025, Netflix claims viewers aren't ready for its upcoming slate of films and television shows. 'Stranger Things', 'Squid Game', 'Wednesday', 'Happy Gilmore 2'... the streaming platform wonders if it's all too much for subscribers to handle. First to run the gauntlet is the star of this commercial directed by Megaforce.

We all know that Leo Berne, Clement Gallet, Charles Brisgand, and Raphaël Rodriguez don't do things by halves, but this is still one heck of a flex from the foursome. With multiple intellectual properties at their disposal, Megaforce send the protagonist barreling across the Netflixverse (yes, there are too many -verses these days, but stay with us).

Amid all the witty costume changes and whiz-bang scene transitions, it's Joseph Alexander's soundtrack that threatens to steal the show. Like a musical chameleon, it shifts depending on the tone of the IP—we like how the cheesy Eighties rock of 'Cobra Kai' segues into bal-musette for 'Emily in Paris', but the whole track rewards repeat listens.
