Character Review Thread: Coulson, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[Admiral2]

I think this guy is awesome!

Look at what he has to do to earn his gummint salary! He has to babysit super-smart rich playboys who fly around in battle armor! He has to ride herd on mystical hammers while Australian surfer boys toss his people around like "mall cops"! And then, just for fun, giant alien war machines come down outta nowhere and try to barbecue him!

Does he run away screaming? Does he quit and take a safer job wrestling alligators? I say thee, nay! He just treats it like a typical nine-to-five and wields the driest sense of humor I've ever seen in my life!

Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., I name you a Real American Hero!

That's right, Mr. Super Secret Agent Guy!

Your professionalism and sense of humor make you a credit to the off-the-rack dress code suit you wear as your uniform of secret agent-dom! Your bravery in the face of insane super-hero crap is evidence of mighty intestinal fortitude! I hope to see more and more of you as Marvel Studios trudges ever onward to the Avengers movie!

I salute you, Mr. Super Secret Agent Guy!

What say the rest of you?

 

[Admiral_Young]

I've been a fan of the character since he was first introduced.

 

[captcalhoun]

i DEMAND a Phil Coulson: Agent of SHIELD movie.

guess i'll have to wait for the Black Widow and SHIELD movies though...

Agent Coulson takes his coffee with a nice dash of skim milk... because black is for poseurs.

Agent Coulson likes to wear ladies' undergarments from time to time, but can still bang the hell out of his wife.

Agent Coulson is a Democrat, because only dopes and people like Obidiah Stane vote Republican.

Is Agent Coulson the new Captain Robau?

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Pfft, more like the new Agent Coulson.

Just for his "Call us Shield" line he will forever be one of the coolest supporting characters in Marvel.

For whatever reason during the entirety of Iron Man i didn't piece 2 and 2 together but when he said it i went nuts.

I love how he's portrayed as an utter pro taking shit from nobody.. he stands up to one of the richest guys in the world who designs his own battle suits like it was nothing and i hope his role in Thor matches that (haven't seen it yet).

 

[captcalhoun]

he is pretty badass in Thor, even when facing the Destroyer, he don't take no crap.

Paraphrasing my fave line of his from Iron Man 2: (To Stark) "I'll tase you and leave you twitching on the floor while I watch Desperate Housewives."

Yes, that was awesome and also why i like this character so much (and the actor who plays him).

Just saw Thor.. while the movie left me unimpressed. Coulson sadly also didn't get any breakout scenes.. he was basically just running the Shield show as a manager and jumping out of the way of the Destroyer.

Spoiler: Thor scene

However i really liked the scene of Thor breaking into the compound to get to Mjolnir, he arrives but Hawkeye has him in his sights. Coulson stops him with "I want to see this.." Awesome!

 

[Admiral_Young]

I can't wait to see what one liners Joss gives him!

 

[Lt. Trull]

being popular like this does make sure they guy gets a steady pay check....

 

[Skywalker]

Aw, I killed the Agent Coulson facts thread.

 

[Capt_Pickirk]

Aw, I killed the Agent Coulson facts thread.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I just saw Thor, and I wanna see somebody push Coulson's face in.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

I'm convinced he's a Skrull.

I just saw Thor, and I wanna see somebody push Coulson's face in.

Any particular reason why?

He was an officious, annoying little twat. "We're the good guys, Doctor Foster."

I'm the union rep for Officious Annoying Twats Local #326 and I suspect he's scabbing.

Mm-kay, but what else would you expect from an officious, annoying little twat? Cooperation and fairplay?

Just report him to the regional rep and move on...

 

[Admiral_Young]

Coulson is supposed to be an "annoying little twat" but not to an offensive degree. I thought his portrayal was consistent with his two previous appearances.
