Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant

Yea, I still love Coulson. Nice little One-Shot that's purely Fan Service. Nice to watch but forgettable. Coulson makes it better so I think a 7/10 is alright.

Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant

During the first phase of the MCU, Marvel released these very short pieces to help bridge some of the other gaps, or connect characters that might have been forgotten about. In the Consultant, there is talk that the Abomination from The Incredible Hulk (2008) was being considered to be an Avenger. Obviously that doesn't happen, but it's cute to see a rerun of Tony Stark's talk with General Ross in the bar from the end of that movie. Comic books are well known for telling vast stories that can last decades, but every once in a while a "one-shot" book will be released just to paint a fuller picture. There are others, and I will review them in the order that they were shown to audiences. This one took place between Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.

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

These One Shots are really fan bait. Often understated, single concept and great character pieces, these are delightful. I give this short film a 7 (delightful) out of 10. {Marvel Segue}

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.
