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.

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}

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

This Marvel One-Shot features almost nothing other than banter wrapped around a post-credits scene, and it makes me wonder why it wasn't just shot as a post-credits scene itself since it's so short. The aforementioned banter, constrained by its low budget, gives some context to the post-credits scene and pokes fun at Tony Stark's arrogance. For what it is, this (very) short film is an effective way to add some filler to the MCU in the time it's given. It just doesn't amount to much.

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.
