ORIGINAL: JIm R Having seen the previous short on the Thor blu-ray, the new sequence does not tie in with the original ending seen in The Incredible Hulk, not sure if this means that Abomination is to appear in The Avengers or not or it's such someone ignoring contunuity to suit the development of The Avengers. If you're just referring to "The Consultant"; the preview of it did not make sense as they were talking about finding someone who was abrasive enough to wind-up up General Ross for some unspecified purpose. However, after having seen the whole thing, it appears SHIELD is under the direction of the U.N Security Council and they ordered SHIELD through Nick Fury to acquire Abomination and to be used as an 'operative' of some kind. As he was formerly a very highly-trained, decorated and respected soldier and all the carnage could be blamed on the Hulk. Even though Fury knew that it was the Abomination who was out of control. And so it's Fury's way of disregarding the Security Council's order without being directly insubordinate. As for this latest one. I doesn't really detract form anything and it's an amusing detour for Coulson. Seeing as Marvel is releasing this material before the big Avengers film, it could hint at Coulson having a greater role in the proceedings in particular the action side of things. I certainly expected Coulson's role to be enlarged as more of these films were being released - it makes sense to show Coulson fully as it were come the time of "The Avengers". Just a last point about the UN Security Council, if you go to the IMDb cast listing for the film (click), you'll note that Jenny Agutter has been cast as a "Female council member" (may not be UN of course). My assumption is she's a UN council member and I expect the UN Security Council to be featured in the story somewhere. Perhaps we'll get a bit more about the Abomination?
