This'll be a catchall for whatever grabs my interest at the time. Therefore it'll be rather... eclectic.
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.
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. :)
Ahahaha.
So much for the ‘Canonical Character Death’ AO3 tags referring to Coulson.
Extended ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ trailer
How am I supposed to wait all summer? I mean, seriously.
The saga that began in Marvel’s The Avengers continues on TV. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming soon to ABC! #CoulsonLives

They paid for a tumblr ad. It’s like YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW US. We promote this for you for FREE, guys. Trust us, you gave us back Phil. We’ll GIVE YOU THE WORLD.
WHAT SHE SAID.
Less than seventeen hours since the first full trailer hit the airwaves. Months before we get anything resembling an actual show…
And already a baker’s dozen fics on the archive.
Gosh, I love this fandom.
I’m wearing this shirt today.
It seemed appropriate.
