From a follower to a leader , a son to fury, to a father to daisy. From an agent to the protector of the world.

What a character!

[@abhijanbarua3998]

He was an Avenger like Fury implied. ❤

[@guesswhatthisisnotmyrealna9510]

The way he treats stark vs cap is hilarilus to me.

[@Unversed333]

While also already being teammates with Clint and Natasha.

[@BarcelosBorNLeGEND]

Phil Coulson is literally one of the best Marvel characters. That face when Fury tells him "exactly". It was at that moment that he knew, he is an Avenger. Amazing job brother, love it. This is by far the best montage I have ever seen.

[@Unversed333]

I found out that Clark Gregg took on the role of Agent Coulson, an original character made exclusively for the first Iron Man film, as a part of a favor from director Jon Faverau. Clark had no idea that accepting this role was going to completely change his life.

[@Unversed333]

Marvelous work as always. You are killing it with these one shots. Honestly Coulson is my favorite MCU character. A regular guy, no super assassin skills, no iron suit, no hammer, etc. Just a guy who tries to protect and inspires others to be better people. Props to Clark Gregg for potraying this character almost non-stop for 12 years.

[@Unversed333]

So who is up next? I know I suggested Ward already, but now I think you should do Mack next. Or maybe some of the supporting characters like Raina, Talbot, Radcliffe, or even Lincoln.

[@toastyin]

I think I'm going to do Fitz and Simmons first because they have been highly requested, then maybe Ward or Mack after that. Supporting characters would be cool to do as well, but I think I'm going to hold off until after we get the main cast done!

[@Unversed333]

@@toastyin cool. I imagine those will be quicker to get done since you already have a lot of footage of them.

I hope so haha! the longest part is always trimming down and fitting it to music so we'll have to see how that goes!

Philip J. Coulson Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Fallen Avenger. Idc that Feige said this show wasn’t canon, it is to me.

[@ShieldVids]

He never said that.

[@Tempest.-_]

Fuck feige if he said that, this is the best marvel show lol

[@saskia2552]

i think at least before they traveled to the future it was, maybe not after but at least a part of it was, and hopefully there is a chance the characters can return.

[@Unversed333]

It would be so easy to bring him back now since most of the OG Avengers are retired or deceased. And a simple explanation for the moviegoers who hadn't watch the show is to simply say Coulson is a robot which he is now

[@rhylin26]

Now that we are getting the multiverse, the easiest way to canonize AoS is to say it’s just in a different universe. It’s the what if scenario following if mainline MCU Furry decided to go forward with Project Tahiti. Where as in the current MCU canon, he decided to follow Coulson’s recommendation to not move forward with Tahiti.

[@yaxontkutic9953]

This is amazing video! This Coulson who has my heart.

[@BaggythePanther]

This is really good. I love all your evolution videos but this was especially great because you went all the way back to the movies. Any reason you didn’t start with Captain Marvel?

[@toastyin]

Thank you very much! I'm really glad about how this one turned out! I chose not to include Captain Marvel because although it did show how he initially gained trust with Fury, I didn't feel that there were any big moments there that contributed to his character arc. Also the way he was revealed in Captain Marvel was a bit awkward for the start of this video, compared to the perfect name drop + S.H.I.E.L.D. intro in Iron Man.

[@Joshdabozz]

@toastyin What about the Cosultant and a funny thing that happened on the way to third hammer?

I was always kinda "eh" or lukewarm towards Phil, so glad I watched Agents of shield, I fell in love with him and the entire cast.

[@billschoe43]

The video's awesome, but you forgot put his character from Captain Marvel. That should been first, since it was set in 1995.

[@toastyin]

Thanks for watching! I decided not to put in Captain Marvel because his intro there was not as good as in Iron Man, since we were expected to already know the character at that point. Also, even though CM showed how he became trusted with Fury, it didn't really contribute to his character growth so I didn't think it was necessary to include in this video! Chronologically I understand that CM should be first but this was just a creative liberty I took :)

[@billschoe43]

[@wafflingmean4477]

Coulson was always a good man, but once he came back from the dead, he almost always valued one single person he trusted over every single ideal he once held. He still fought for SHIELD's cause, but not primarily FOR the agency. He picked a handful of people he would die for and unleashed hell on anyone who would dream of hurting them. And on every mission, he would always prioritise the PERSON he was dealing with. It wasn't always the most practical thing. Ward took advantage of it on more than one occasion. And his desperation to save Simmons when she was stranded on Maveth eventually allowed Hive to use SHIELD's knowledge of the portal to return Hive to Earth. Even Andrew, who was a psychologist, not an agent, viewed this behaviour as a gigantic tactical mistake. But at the same time, Coulson focusing on understand people and always prioritising people gave him an edge no one could match. He managed to manipulate almost every major Hydra leader post Winter Soldier into killing each other. And he was personally responsible for bringing Deathlok, Cal, Talbot, Rosalind Price, and Ghost Rider into fighting alongside SHIELD when each had MANY reasons to attack SHIELD instead, and all had means to devastate any opponent they faced (in different ways).

[@christinecoan6143]

It would also be interesting if they said seasons 1-4 were canon and then once they started messing with time they created branch realities or something. This way they can still bring them into the movies like they should’ve done a while ago. It would stink to have 5-7 not be cannon but if that means we get them in the movies I’m okay with that

if the body is being forced back to live and it keeps saying it wants to die. the humane thing to do is let him. living is your own choice, if they take away that choice and force you, than you can't call it living, only torture. fear of death is part of being human, take a way that fear and you become something that can't be defined as human. fear is not always a bad thing, after all it's what makes those rollercoasters, haunted houses and other amusement park rides exciting.
