Joss Whedon revealed something very strange recently. Agent Coulson is dead, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is basically just a dream that Coulson is having while he lays there dying. This move has caused several persons at Marvel to question what Whedon is doing.
The whole thing is strange, we must add. Coulson is alive in the TV Show but dead in the movies. The question right now is, if this is the case, then how did he know about the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D during Captain America: The Winter Soldier? Clearly something needs to be done here.
"Yeah he's dead. The entire television series is just a fever dream. It's a Jacob's Ladder moment he's having at the point of death, but we don't give that away until after season seven. And there's a snow globe. Now I've given it away. Bollocks!"
"It's a weird little yes and no. As far as I'm concerned in the films, yes he's dead. In terms of the narrative of these guys [The Avengers] his loss was very important. When I created the television show, it was sort of on the understanding that this can work and we can do it with integrity, but these Avengers movies are for people to see the Avengers movies and nothing else. And it would neither make sense nor be useful to say 'Oh and by the way remember me? I died!'"
