Um, right. I've read a few fics and, to my total astonishment, actually liked them, which was so utterly shocking to me (given that they've said about three lines to each other in the movie) that it warranted me mentioning it on this comm, and apparently you've remembered that and have been stalking me ever since, which is REALLY fucking creepy by the way. But shipper? Hahahahahahaha!!!
I was talking from a totally clinical perspective. It's quite obvious that the point of his death was to introduce a level of seriousness and make viewers take the bad guy seriously and feel what the characters were feeling. It's, like, Action Film Pathos 101. Like the Kid's death in the Matrix, or Darwin's death in XMFC, or Rachel's death (or Gordon's "death") in TDK. Doesn't matter how you personally were affected, but anyone can see what it's supposed to be conveying.
And "more affected than other people"? Hmm....well, I honest-to-god can't turn a single corner on tumblr or AO3 without hitting a sniffling, tribute-writing/drawing fan who's still broken up over it (which honestly is getting annoying. I really like Coulson, but he's not an Avenger jesus fuck). I heard gasps and yelps and audible "oh no"'s all over the theater both when he was stabbed and when he died both times I went to see it in theaters, and I heard one girl behind me whispering frantically that 'no no, he's not really dead right?' to her friend. Not "my" experience of being affected at all. I actually had no idea people cared that much about Coulson until I checked the internet and went "whoa!" at all the "omg nooooo" and "omg he's not deeeeaaad" being splashed all over the place.
