SDCC: Item 47 Needs More Coulson
Hey, it’s another clip for Marvel’s 10-minute straight-to-the-Avengers-Blu-ray short Item 47, starring Lizzy Caplan. Now I love Lizzy Caplan, but this longer look at the short is a very clear indication to me that I seriously do not need Marvel shorts that don’t star Agent Coulson. He made them, not the other way around. So unless these guys turn out to be Wrecker and Moonstone or something, you call me when Clark Gregg gets on set. (Via Nerd Bastards)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
