The Consultant is a 2011 short film directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson.Set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Consultant is the first installment of the Marvel One-Shots series, and was included in the home video release of Thor.After the events of Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk, the World Security Council wants to release Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) —The Abomination— from prison to recruit him for the Avengers Initiative, against the wishes of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).Because of this, it's up to Agents Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Jasper Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández) to brainstorm a way to keep Blonksy's recruitment from happening.The Consultant is notable for being the first of the Marvel One-Shots, and it further establishes Coulson's character ahead of his death in The Avengers, and eventual resurrection and starring turn in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: In reaction to Ross's Get Out! (see above), Tony buys the bar where they had been talking, and schedules it for demolition. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| The Consultant / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: The short has Agents Coulson and Sitwell get out of the WSC's request that the Abomination be placed on the Avengers instead of the Hulk by having General Ross refuse the request. They send Tony Stark, in the hopes he'll piss Ross off and get him to refuse to release Blonsky. It works. | |

Noodle Incident: What exactly went down between Ross and Tony that enraged the former so much is never even discussed. Only the result of the sabotaged negotiation is discussed. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: After being informed of the World Security Council's decision to put the Abomination on the Avengers, Sitwell and Coulson start plotting a way to stop this. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| The Consultant / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: The whole reason they're even in this situation is that the World Security Council wants Emil Blonsky in the Avengers roster, considering him a war hero who's been wrongly accused and pinning the blame on Banner. Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. from Fury on down opposes. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Consultant / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Sitwell's crack about a "Level 7" could be Foreshadowing to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which gives the concept of Level 7 clearance a more proper introduction. By this time, both of them are at least Level 8. | |

Get Out!: According to Coulson, Ross's reaction (as predicted in the Batman Gambit) to Tony was to try to have him removed from the bar when he became too irritating. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Sitwell says he does "a great patsy", and offers to do it so S.H.I.E.L.D. can sabotage General Ross's meeting with Fury. | |

Classified Information | |
| The Consultant / int_bb76c854 | comment |
Classified Information: Coulson asks Sitwell about his clearance level and as a result he's either he's high enough (the lower range of "Top Secret" in the Marvel Universe) or he didn't think it was important, since he tells him the information he needed to anyway. Sitwell's crack about a "Level 7" could be Foreshadowing to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which gives the concept of Level 7 clearance a more proper introduction. By this time, both of them are at least Level 8. | |

Horrible Judge of Character: The World Security Council thinks of Blonsky as a war hero and pins the blame on Banner for the Harlem incident. Thankfully, everyone else involved know better. | |

Brick Joke: When Coulson enters the diner at the beginning of the short, Sitwell casually recommends their pancakes. Guess what Coulson's eating when Sitwell comes in the next morning. | |
