    Stupid title

    I don't like the title, I mean it could have been something better. The short is really short, like 4 minutes, so there isn't a lot to talk about. Coulson was badass in this short, showing us why he is a Shield agent. Really cool guy.

    I love Coulson

    I love Coulson and this One-Shot proves why. One of the better One-Shots just Behind Agent Carter. Nice action and an interesting story. Funny to watch.

    The cinematography is great and helps the story in so many ways. I loved it.

    Agent Coulson Gets Aggro at the Gas Station

    What was meant to be a quick gas and snack stop turns into a bit of a work out for our suited hero.

    Without breaking into a sweat or getting an iota of dust on his suit Agent Coulson manages to nail two very naughty bad guys with some serious moves and a bit of "wire work" thrown in.(All strings airbrushed - but we know you can't jump that high Phil.)

    It goes to prove the point that Agent Coulson can use ANYTHING as a weapon and in true hero style he does.

    Slickly shot with a small amount of dialogue.

    All in a nights work. : )

    Tell them those Tae Bo tapes really paid off

    OK, Coulson is a bada**. Let's just get this out there. The story might have been something as boring as a gas station robbery but Clark Gregg puts in so much charisma that it is worth the watch.

    Gregg's Coulson is completely witty in this short as he kind of messes with the robbers until he very easily takes them down. It is very unexpected from someone who we have only seen on the sidelines but it is very welcome.

    This doesn't add much to the plot of either Iron Man 2 or Thor, it's just good plain fun and something for Clark Gregg to showcase himself with.

    + Clark Gregg + Humor + Quick, effective action - Adds nothing to overall story, still fun though

    Final Score: 8.8/10
