Every MCU One-Shot Ranked From Worst To Best

8. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer

There has already been Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, The Avengers, Captain Marvel, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to prove that Agent Phil Coulson has always been a badass, but in case you needed any more proof, you can go back and watch this One-Shot.

Released on the Captain America: The First Avenger DVD, as the title suggests this scene was set around the events of Nick Fury’s big week, when Coulson was heading to the crater created by Mjolnir in New Mexico.

He stopped to fill the car up at a Roxxon petrol station, where the titular funny thing happened. As he couldn’t decide between which type of donuts to get, the store was held at gun point. The two would-be thieves however didn’t count of one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top agents being there to easily dispatch of them before they even saw any money.

There was no clever meaning behind this short, and no real ties to the wider MCU. It seemingly exists only to put that little bit more spotlight on Agent Coulson before the idea of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was ever even formed.
