Photo 1: So this is Coulson’s stripey blue tie. He’s wearing it on the Way to Thor’s Hammer, and when he finds Thor’s Hammer (in both IM2 and Thor)
Photo 2: He has it on when he takes Jane’s stuff, and when Thor breaks into the base. Don’t ask me how it dries between the storm and the interrogation scene — he’s a ninja. Know where else he’s wearing it?
Photo 3: “Barton’s been compromised.”
Photo 4: Not before, when the base gets destroyed, or after, when he meets up with Tony and Pepper, just when he calls Natasha.
Headcanon: Clint gave him this tie. He wears it in the desert, because they’re on a mission together, and then again after Clint’s been compromised, because it reminds him of Clint, and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever see Clint whole and healthy again.
Reblogging myself because GUESS WHERE ELSE HE’S WEARING IT?
Edited to add… I just noticed… the stripes are the wrong direction in the new cast pic. Hmm….
The new pic could be flipped though. I choose to believe it’s the same tie so there
Upon studying a slightly larger version, the pic’s almost definitely not flipped. Clark’s nose is bent in the right direction. (Yes, I notice these things. :b)
There’s also almost a weird subtle background plaid to the tie. Sadly, it’s a different tie. Alas.
Why SHIELD’s Dominance of the Social Media Landscape is no Surprise
So…today’s Hollywood Reporter article talks about how Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (and yeah, yeah, The Blacklist too) is dominating social media conversation, saying it’s “…the top new ABC — and overall — show in terms of viewer engagement on social media” with “[n]early half the SHIELD conversation (45 percent) centered on the character of Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), who [spoiler alert!] was killed in The Avengers.”
This doesn’t exactly come as much of a surprise to the more…let’s say ‘enthusiastic’ of the Marvel Cinematic Universe fan base - and most particularly to those of us who spent half a year refusing to accept that Phil Coulson was really gone, despite all evidence in The Avengers to the contrary. Note: it’s not as if we were the first fans to take this kind of stance (just ask anybody who remembers Clan Denial from the penultimate season of Highlander: the Series), but we were certainly one of the most tenacious, and that tenacity was rewarded (Look, for all I know, Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige might have been plotting to bring Phil back from the moment The Avengers script was written, but I prefer to believe we made it happen with the power of our collective weeping and wailing.)
> Well played
It’s Friday.
For some reason I laughed like an asshole about this.
Yep.
unpopular opinion under the cut; I’m trying to be courteous here to people who are excited for the show so I don’t want you guys to have zero choice in facing down my negativity, but at the same time I’m tagging it so it’s here for discussion. okay? okay.
I get what you are saying. In my opinion having him…not be dead almost takes away the impact of his character. His death (had it been real) would have been amazing because that simply doesn’t happen anymore. The good guy always lives in one way or another but to honestly have them be human and die…I find that much more meaningful then a ‘fake out’ and a television show of all things to be like ‘oh wait…I am not dead. Bad joke, sorry.’
They have been anticipating these concerns, though, so it’s something they’ve actually put some thought into handling in a satisfactory way beyond ‘oh hey not dead jk’,
Clark Gregg: The executives at Marvel had joked about being in meetings where they were talking about how to bring Coulson back, but you know, I was there. There was a lot of blood. I felt pretty dead. So I was wary as to how can we do that in a way that doesn’t feel like it undermines any of the magic that I thought was there in “The Avengers,” and as soon as I heard the concept and saw the script, I realized it was worth doing.
Joss Whedon: And then, you know, “What about Coulson?” And obviously, the first question, was, “Will this upset the integrity of what we did in ‘The Avengers?’” You don’t want to do that. I worked in comics and TV and fantasy for a long time, and I know that there’s a right way and a wrong way to do stuff like that.
It’s like, “If we were going to have Coulson, how would we even do it?” Well, we’d do exactly this. That’s what I pitched to [Clark] on the phone, that’s what’s in the script, word for word, and it’s all about earning everything, so that people don’t feel that you lied, or that you pulled one over on them, that you have an explanation that you buy.
So basically, until we see exactly how the return is handled, I think reserving judgment is probably the best thing to do under the circumstances.
Revealing how Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) & Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) first meet, Captain America: The Winter Soldier dialogue has surfaced from the Washington, D.C. shoot. Mild spoiler warning…I cleared the dialogue for anybody who didn’t wish to see it but OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST BRO MOVIE FROM EVERYBODY INVOLVEDI am so damn excited!!!!!EVERYTING IS ADORABLE AND NOTHING HURTS. THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE JUST AS ADORABLE AND PERFECT AS CAP 1 AND NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Saddest thing about the Agents of SHIELD trailer: they didn’t let Iain de Caestecker keep his Scottish accent.
I dunno. He didn’t say a whole lot, but what he did say sounded pretty Scottish to me. Especially the ‘Engineering’.
Elementary non-spoilery reaction.
I AM A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION.
AND BEES.
Mostly bees.
beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.
/flailing
Ahahahahahah.
I like you, you can stay.
WAIT HAS NO ONE ELSE REALIZED
That Tuesday next fall will have Agents of Shield at 8pm followed by Supernatural at 9pm?
Am I the only one freaking out with joy about this???
And then Person of Interest at 10pm.
Fandom is going to be exploding tumblr weekly. Just wow.
Unpopular Opinion?
Not having Agent Coulson stay dead creates little sense or danger or repercussion in the Marvel Movie Continuity. Opinion further validated by ending of Iron Man 3.
Yes I know it’s a adapted comic movie series but I’m looking at it from a screenwriter’s POV.
It’s not entirely unpopular. I’ve definitely seen it around.
However, I’m personally optimistic, and that was reinforced by this interview.
Snipping the relevant segments:
Clark Gregg: The executives at Marvel had joked about being in meetings where they were talking about how to bring Coulson back, but you know, I was there. There was a lot of blood. I felt pretty dead. So I was wary as to how can we do that in a way that doesn’t feel like it undermines any of the magic that I thought was there in “The Avengers,” and as soon as I heard the concept and saw the script, I realized it was worth doing.
Joss Whedon: And then, you know, “What about Coulson?” And obviously, the first question, was, “Will this upset the integrity of what we did in ‘The Avengers?’” You don’t want to do that. I worked in comics and TV and fantasy for a long time, and I know that there’s a right way and a wrong way to do stuff like that.
It’s like, “If we were going to have Coulson, how would we even do it?” Well, we’d do exactly this. That’s what I pitched to [Clark] on the phone, that’s what’s in the script, word for word, and it’s all about earning everything, so that people don’t feel that you lied, or that you pulled one over on them, that you have an explanation that you buy.
So, like I said, optimistic. Because they’re at least hyperaware that they have to do it right.
thatwasonegoodking replied to your post: Whoops I mini-ficced about Melinda May.
this is making me really want AoS to be all about coulson and melinda schooling the newbies on what it means to be a badass& (also i already kind of ship them? i dont know yet if its going to be otp or brotp with them&)
Oh yeah those two schooling people. Like, apparently the actor for Melinda is 49, which ???? she looks like she’s 25. So since she’s older, she’s been around as long as Coulson and she’s a pilot so I’m betting Air Force and then recruited. And hell yeah, the “older” folk kicking ass. Take all those kiddies to class.
I’m so pumped for this show. I know Fitz and Simmons are going to be brotp all the way since it’s been said already that they have a sibling type relationship. And then I’m probably just going to brotp everything because why the hell not?
If they call each other “Melinda” and “Phil” I may spontaneously combust.
Drinks out with Jasper?
I like to think that the high level agents go out drinking very occasionally and just have a fucking party. Because they can. Like, Nick and Maria and Phil are really close because they work together so much and when they’re off duty they call each other by their first names and/or nicknames.
So now obviously Phil and his team are going to get close and that will happen too. Drinking fics all around!
I love everything that this post chooses to be.
YOU GUYS
Some future Agents out there have sharp eyes. Good to know.
Ok so im pretty sure that the Agents of SHEILD tumblr is just Coulson
At this time we are not able to divulge the Agents that are manning this site.
not even to those with Level 7 clearance?
Yep, definitely Phil
If only we could see their tracked tags, it would be a clear giveaway. Phil would obviously be tracking absolutely every variation of the Captain America tags.
So what if the season finale of the final season of Agents of SHIELD is the first avengers movie and we get to watch Coulson die again
… Did you even watch the trailer? Where Ward mentioned that Coulson had been killed in the Battle of New York? Which was the Avengers movie? And then Coulson came out all NO NOT QUITE THX.
The show takes place after the movie. :)
