Bad Ass Digest:

A couple of years back I broke the story that Marvel would be making short films. At the time it seemed like they would make shorts featuring lesser known characters, or as intros to movies (I was told a Hawkeye short might play in front of_Thor). It turns out Marvel decided to make sort of lame promo shorts instead, where Agent Coulson runs around in between movies tying up continuity strings. What had seemed like an interesting concept had been turned into straight marketing.

Now Marvel looks to be steering their shorts into more intriguing territory._The Avengers_home video release will come with a short called_Item 47, which looks to be more than advertising for the next movie. In this short two civilians in New York City find a discarded Chitauri gun... and decide this is a sign for them to rob some banks. Lizzy Caplan is one half of the Marvel U Bonnie & Clyde, with_Swimfan's Jesse Bradford as her partner in crime. There are two SHIELD agents tasked with hunting them down, one of whom is playing by Titus Welliver, ie The Man In Black from_Lost._

Item 47_is 12 minutes long, much longer than the last set of shorts. And it looks to begin a new age of Marvel short films; apparently home video releases of the in-production sequels will all have similar tie-in shorts. What I like about this one is that it captures some of the feel of the Marvel Universe, the idea that there are other people impacted by the events and that the consequences of a story don't end on the last page of the comic.

Louis D'Esposito, Marvel Studios co-president and director of_Item 47, confirms my old scoop, by the way:_“There’s always a potential to introduce a character. We have 8,000 of them, and they can’t all be at the same level. So maybe there are some that are not so popular, and we introduce them [with a short] – and they take off. I could see that happening.”

Item 47_will premiere at Comic Con.

I can't see this again. It's only on for two more days at 9:50 at night and then it's gone.

I totally don't watch Super Hero movies for the people who get affected by the events afterward. I watch Super Hero movies to see the Super Hero power through some super villains and colaterally wreck cities in the process.

I could not care less about the two drug addicts that pick up a chitauri gun and rob banks until some unheard of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent shoots them.

Now, If they want to tie in a movie with longer shorts in line with those they did between the Avengers' characters' individual movies...I am all about that.

I agree with all this, except one thing, Titus Welliver is awesome. Too bad he didn't get a far more important role than a random shield agent.

Agreed. Item 47 isn't something that is screaming at me to buy the DVD even more. In fact, by the sounds of things, I can live without it.
