Coulson DOES live, right? Isn't it confirmed he's going to be in the live action SHIELD television series Joss is making?

[(Anonymous)]

The show might be a prequel, though. So...who the hell knows.

[dazzledfirestar]

Yeah, he's going to be the lead in the new show. It's been confirmed. As much as anything Whedon does ever is. lol

[wauwy]

Wow, that's astonishingly stupid.

[avatarmn]

Um. WTF? I'm sensing a little hostility.

[wauwy]

... yeah? It's astonishingly stupid to bring Coulson back to life, thus negating all meaning from his death.

[avatarmn]

Oooh. I thought you were calling ME stupid, for thinking... something. That he wasn't dead or that he was in the show.

[truxillogical]

Depending on how it happens, it still doesn't "negate all meaning from his death."

Firstly, assuming that it is set post-Avengers, post-Coulson-Death, as opposed to pre-Avengers, or in another universe or whatever.

Unless it was an LMD that stepped in to face Loki, Coulson's death scene is still a powerful moment. It's still a moment where a mortal man, pushing fifty, walked into a room, well-aware that he was probably going to die, and politely took on a demigod with an untested BFG. He still got stabbed. He still got in the last word and the last shot after being stabbed in the chest.

Bringing someone back is cheap if it leads directly to sunshine and daisies. If it leads to More Conflict, then congrats--Add More Conflict is pretty much the primary recipe in story writing. And if Coulson shows up alive in the movies again? It will Add More Conflict. The Avengers already don't trust Fury, or even like SHIELD all that much. If Tony and Steve find out that Fury lied to them about something like that and played them with those cards and that speech, they will be pissed. Honestly, best bet is they find out right before/in the middle of a Crisis Moment, and it's what prompts them to just cut all ties with SHIELD right before some Really Big Bad hits. By the end of the movie, the Avengers have all learned to work together, in spite of their differences. But it was their conflict that drove the movie; so in the sequel, a lot of that conflict gets shifted onto the Shady Government Organization.

It still really doesn't "negate all meaning from his death" even if they don't go that route. Whether or not he comes back, that was a freaking sweet scene.

[wauwy]

Despite your lengthy and laborious thoughts on this subject, you are still wrong.

[truxillogical]

Um. Alright then. Interesting point. Care to explain?


(Do you actually know what "laborious" means, or were you just looking for a longish word that started with L?")

[wauwy]

It was laborious to wade through. I'm telling you it was tl;dr. You're clearly a totally off-the-deep-end fangirl/boy and your randomly emphasized treatise made me cringe with its desperate sincerity.

You love this movie so you've convinced yourself anything Whedon does to it can't be wrong, with the result that you can't see anything objectively anymore. Which is that Whedon pussing out on Coulson's death would be lame as fuck, the end.

I'm sensing some hostility. A little sick of hearing about the Avengers at this point, are you? :D
