And Here’s an Avengers Set Video
After 80 kazillion leaked set pics and videos for The Dark Knight Rises, the Avengers movie seems to have finally decided to get a little of that sweet, sweet, internet attention with its own leaked video, straight from the mean streets of Cleveland. Unfortunately, unlike DKR — which has been showing villains, costumes, vehicles, and more — the Avengers hasn’t quite figured out this “leak” thing yet, and only released this video of people running around and screaming while something booms somewhere. There’s no Avengers, no bad guys, no nothing. Come on, Marvel, you can do better than this. How’s a nerd supposed to bitch about shit on the internet if you don’t show up something we can be disappointed in? (Via CBR)

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.
