The Consultant is a thrilling short film with masterful storytelling, sharp dialogue, and impeccable pacing. Clark Gregg's portrayal of Agent Coulson is captivating, blending trademark wit and charm. The dynamic between Coulson and Sitwell is electric, offering entertaining insights into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s world.

In the early days of the MCU, One-Shots were used, as they are in comics, to expand upon idea happening in the wider universe and fill in some gaps. The Consultant answers a question that I'm not sure anyone was asking; 'Why was Tony Stark sent to negotiate with General Ross?'. Though Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Agent Sitwell (Maximilano Hernández) are both enjoyable in their roles, they aren't given much outside of a fast paced conversation. Almost half of the 4 minute short is used to rewatch the end credits scene from the Incredible Hulk, with nothing different or added. While the Marvel One-Shots are one of the early MCU's most unique and charming aspect, The Consultant gets stuck rehashing and doesn't offer enough fresh content.

Eh...it was ok. It was pretty much just Agent Coulson and Agent Sitwell talking about who to send to talk to General Ross to keep him from interfering. Then it just shows the after credits scene from The Incredible Hulk. Entertaining enough, but not required viewing by any stretch.

The whole purpose of this short film is for Marvel to re write their plans that they had for the Avengers way back in 2007. I love the music that was used in this film. The plot didn't make any sense as to why General Ross would want Blonsky to join The Avengers after considering Blonsky was terrorizing Harlem. I honestly preferred the plan that Marvel had for the Avengers way back in 2007 than the one they decided to go for with the making of this film and Iron Man 2. I love the interaction between Sitwell and Coulson talking about wanting to prevent Blonsky from joining the Avengers and I like how they used Stark to convince Ross to not recruit Blonksy. Overall this is not bad because of it's directing style and tone being great and the script being fine.
