Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant

While this one shot was sort of a quick connection between movies, it doesn't really do much or add to the overall story in any way. It was more to just give a quick reasoning as to why Stark went to Ross in the first place.

I did like the conversation between Coulson and Sitwell. I have always liked Coulson as the straight shooting agent but this flick shows that he has a personality and some humor with him. Sitwell is OK though, as we haven't seen much of him anyway. I did find it interesting that the government wanted to send Blonsky over Banner though. Blonsky is a soldier and Banner was a fugitive so it does sort of make sense that they pick the Abomination over the Hulk, but as Shield knows the real story,it kind of adds as to how exactly the Hulk was actually recruited for the Avengers.

+ Coulson and Sitwell + Quick explanation for Hulk, Avengers and Stark - Didn't add anything for overall story - Not as good as other one shots - Could have possibly done more

Final Score 6.8/10

As far as the One-Shots have gone so far chronologically speaking, this is one of the more interesting ones. The majority of this One-Shot is recycled footage; however, this One-Shot adds more depth to the scene that is replayed and answers questions I had when viewing the scene originally, such as why was "X" character sent to have that conversation rather than character "Y"? It also provides more information about the whereabouts of another character that was left on a bit of a cliffhanger. Solid One-Shot with humor and extra information for anyone rewatching the MCU looking for connections and information between movies for a full picture of the universe as a whole.

I was a bit bored watching this, not going to lie. Its just a conversation that doesn't really tell you anything.

An interesting Marvel mini! It was actually pleasant!

So Agent Coulson and Agent Of Shields Agent Sitwell are in a diner discussing General Ross, we have a 2 minute chat followed by some stock footage featuring Ross & Stark and the credits role.

This is a Marvel One-Shot? It serves no purpose, where is the entertainment value in this? These shorts are supposed to be tiny stories, there is no story here whatsoever.

The casts performances save it to an extent but what the hell was that meant to be?

And furthermore how did this cost half a million dollars to make? It's less than 3 minutes long and is two people chatting + already paid for stock footage. Beyond belief, I can only assume their catering was the stuff of legends.

One for Marvel obsessives and nobody else.

The Good:

Strong performances as always

The Bad:

What was that even meant to be?

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

They wanted arrogant and abrasive yet they didn't call me? Weird.
