Coulson was taken away. The audience (& heroes) saw 'the spot where he died (after)'. So it's possible (especially given that this is a comic book movie and in comic books, 'death' is rarely permanent (just ask Gwen Stacey)) that Coulson was taken to an infirmary, revived, and placed on life support of some sort, further deepening Fury's manipulation of the heroes (and ultimately, the fans).<br /><br />~P<br />@atfmbPatrick Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318056993797663665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573136768377847579.post-80037056359030866412012-06-18T12:17:21.233-05:002012-06-18T12:17:21.233-05:00Is that in one of the comics (Ithought that Coulso...Is that in one of the comics (Ithought that Coulson was new for the movies, not imported from the comics universe), or is that the plan for Avengers 2...? <br /><br />Either way, the heroes (Cap, Stark, Thor, etc.) think of him as a mortal who has permanently died, so he's still being used and manipulated in his role as an everyman fan.Karen Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16803309172414793939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573136768377847579.post-69392253474263257702012-06-18T12:08:36.797-05:002012-06-18T12:08:36.797-05:00I suppose... you could look at it that way. Or, Fu...I suppose... you could look at it that way.
