Marvel One-Shot: Item 47

Two regular people, adorably out of their league, put to use a Chitauri rifle to achieve the American dream.

This is the kind of thing that basically must happen every so often in the MCU. There's no way the massive bombastic climaxes can always be cleaned up. This has amazing use of licensed music. Everyone gives a memorable performance, in addition to being written in a way that feels very natural. The tension and action are great. Running time is 8 minutes, or 11 and a half including end credits.

This is currently available on Disney Plus. I recommend it to fans of the franchise. 7/10.

Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford play a young couple who shortly after the attack on New York (Avengers 2012) come across an alien weapon. They proceed to use this to rob banks but Shield is on their tale.

Featuring a couple of semi-recurring characters from the television series Agents Of Shield (2013) this well cast little 8 minutes is fun enough but you need to go in remembering these things aren't exactly stories.

They are more like scenes ripped out of films, thankfully usually pretty passable ones.

The fact this fits in so well with the Marvel universes continuity really helps as does Caplan, Bradford and the two Shield agents.

Passable stuff that can be used as filler inbetween actual feature films.

The Good:

Great soundtrack

Lizzy Caplan

Agents Of Shield cast members

The Bad:

Really not much to it

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

An assistant who cannot make coffee should be fired on the spot

After last seeing Caplan in True Blood I almost didn't recognise her clothed

This quick clip after the Avengers is actually kind of interesting. It is short so not a lot of stuff is happening but it actually is when you think about it.

The new characters in Claire, Ben and Agent Blake are interesting enough but I am glad the Sitwell was able to sort of prove that he is a capable physical agent.

Lizzy Caplan and Titus Welliver are a joy on any screen and they hope they can make an appearance.

What really makes this interesting to me is that there are people in the world, using alien technology for their own benefit. This is most likely happening a lot around the world and due to this, Damage Control , an entity created to literally clean up messes, can be introduced.

+ Caplan and Welliver + Sitwell does more + People get alien technology could be a problem in the future + Damage Control? - Not long enough

7.8/10

Saw it. Liked it. So, this short got everything you can think of - effects, characters, action + charisma. The intro was quite lame, but then things started to fire up. It was pretty good. Plus, the final replica is quite funny. I let you find which it is. :)

What a tease. They show us a small story with Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford. I really wish they would have brought Lizzy Caplan into the MCU universe. She is a very talented and amazing actress that could have totally rocked a part.

The story was short, but fun. It was nice to see more of Agent Jasper Sitwell in action. He has a very different style than Colsoun. But he's still fun. He seems to be in most of the One-Shot's.

I liked the story. It was short, but still told something and gave a glimpse at alien technology and how it looks in civilians hands. It was funny and definitely went in a different direction then I thought it was going to go in. I'd totally watch a full movie about Claire and Bennie (bonnie and clyde) if they would have made one.
