* GrowingTheBeard: The first short comprises of nothing more than a clip from ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' bookended by clips of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents conversing at a table. It's clear the budget wasn't high on this one.[[note]]Marvel originally budgeted for two shorts: 'The Consultant' and 'A Funny Thing Happened on the way to Thor's Hammer'. 'A Funny Thing' was written first, and the action sequence blew the budget for both shorts. 'The Consultant' was written to be much simpler in execution as a result.[[/note]] The following shorts rely more heavily on original footage, display special effects, and boast more interesting plotlines. Marvel even used the one about Peggy Carter to test the character and see if it was received well enough to make the jump to her own show.

** [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/13/kevin-feige-the-avengers_n_1422605.html According to Marvel producer Kevin Feige]], ''The Consultant'' was filmed because TheStinger from ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' was a loose end that was causing problems with the plot of ''The Avengers''. Unlike the other film's stingers, this one had never gained any context.
** ''All Hail the King'' reveals that [[spoiler: there is an ''actual'' Mandarin who runs the Ten Rings organization that kidnapped Tony in [[Film/IronMan1 the first Iron Man movie]], and he is ''very'' displeased with what Trevor Slattery and Aldrich Killian did to his image]].
* BrokenBase: Some fans were displeased by the reveal that ''All Hail the King'' would star [[Film/IronMan3 Trevor Slattery]]. [[spoiler:However, the short reveals that Trev's earned the ire of the ''real'' Mandarin, who evidently very much exists, which has been a ''very'' pleasant surprise indeed for some detractors.]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Sitwell has built up a bit of fanbase thanks to ''Item 47'', along with Agent Blake who is popular just because he's played by Creator/TitusWelliver.

* HarsherInHindsight: ''Item 47'''s goofy, funny ThoseTwoGuys vibe becomes neither so goofy nor so funny after later revelations in the Marvel Cinematic Universe about Those Two Guys:
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'''s revelation that [[spoiler:Sitwell was a HYDRA agent all along. The implications become that Sitwell hired the two for something much more nefarious than it first seemed]]. In addition, Sitwell's legendary patsy act referenced in ''The Consultant''. [[spoiler: So good it fooled Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. and ''the entire audience'' into believing he was a loyal fellow agent rather than a HYDRA mole.]]
** ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'''s reveal that after Agent Blake [[spoiler: got his spine crushed by Deathlok, he started using scavenged SHIELD technology to form an ultranationalist militia dedicated to hunting down and killing Inhumans]].
** Also, the closing credits for ''Item 47'' show a montage of S.H.I.E.L.D. [[spoiler:with Benny and Claire's help]] building [[spoiler:a reverse-engineered Chitauri gun]]. Then ''The Winter Soldier'' reveals the truth about S.H.I.E.L.D. and then ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' opens with [[spoiler:HYDRA using energy guns based on Chitauri tech.]]
* HoYay: [[spoiler:Justin Hammer]] at the end of ''All Hail The King'' seems to have a prison butt buddy that follows his every move and order without a word. His talk about [[spoiler:Tony Stark]] and his jealousy of him also questions his orientation.
* MemeticBadass: Coulson as proven by ''A Funny Thing Happened...''
* OneSceneWonder: Herman in ''All Hail The King'', who is Trevor's loyal BlackBestFriend and manages to [[spoiler:fight off Jackson for more than ten seconds before getting killed by him.]]
* PanderingToTheBase: ''All Hail The King'' gets this criticism from some, specifically, those who thought TheReveal about the Mandarin in ''Iron Man 3'' didn't ruin everything. Said viewers were OK with that reveal, and felt that adding this extra detail which probably won't get any further development (see below) was just catering to an unnecessarily-incensed fanbase. WordOfGod actually denies this, saying that the idea for the short and [[spoiler: knowledge about there being a real Mandarin who commanded the terrorist group from the first movie]] were already in place during production of ''Iron Man 3'', they weren't invented as a response to fan backlash.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A common lament about ''Item 47'' is that Agent Coulson isn't in it. He hasn't appeared in any subsequent shorts, but his starring role in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' has since sated this complaint.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: One common complaint about ''All Hail The King'' from those who ''liked'' its [[TheReveal big reveal]] is that [[spoiler: the true Mandarin and his vengeance for Trevor's mockery of him possibly won't receive any followup, especially with no further ''Iron Man'' films in development and little room for another movie with focus on the Ten Rings given Iron Man's death in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'']]. However, Kevin Feige stated otherwise in a May 2019 AMA; there are indeed plans to introduce the character properly in a later film, which turned out in July of that year to be ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings''.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The Chitauri Gun effects in ''Item 47'' are on par with ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. The budget for that short was less than half a million dollars, which is less than an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''.
