Item 47 is a 2012 short film, directed by Louis D'Esposito and written by Eric Pearson.Set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Item 47 is the third installment of the Marvel One-Shots series, and was included in the home video release of The Avengers.Taking place shortly after the events of that film, Benny (Jesse Bradford) and Claire (Lizzy Caplan) are a down-on-their-luck couple who recover a gun with alien Chitauri tech, and decide to capitalize on their discovery... by using it to rob banks with.Naturally, this concerns S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández) and Blake (Titus Welliver), who do not hesitate to get involved and relieve the couple of the weapon.Item 47 is notable for being longer than any other Marvel One-Shot to date, and it was partly used as a proof-of-concept for a hypothetical Marvel television series that later became Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (much like how Agent Carter led to a TV series), where Welliver Hernández would later reprise their roles of Agent Blake and Agent Sitwell as guest stars. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Item 47 / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Sitwell is ordered to kill the civilian couple, simply because they saw (and obtained) something they shouldn't. That said, given the revelations in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America: The Winter Soldier that Sitwell and other SHIELD operatives are in fact working for HYDRA, whether this trope actually applies here is uncertain. | |

Batman Gambit: Sitwell moves into the hotel room next to Benny and Claire's and plays loud music in an attempt to make them come to him complaining about the noise. Benny falls for the bait, but during the struggle, he kicks over the stereo, shutting it off, and starts yelling for Claire to help him. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: Averted. Blueprints of newer and newer reverse-engineered versions of the Chitauri weapon are shown over the credits, eventually ending with a wholly Earth-made gun with SHIELD branding mounted to the top of a Hummer. So we'll see more energy weapons in future SHIELD appearances, yes? | |

Foreshadowing: The kind of situation described under Ascended Fridge Horror is exactly what Spider-Man: Homecoming would later be about, as not just Chitauri tech, but the Dark Elves, Ultron and Stark's other battles across the world have been piling up advanced, dangerous tech for just anybody to pick and go on a crime spree with. | |
