Because it takes a lot to keep a good agent dead.
Is he Vision?
... unfortunate.
No one stays dead except Bucky, oh, um, including Bucky
Uncle Ben stays dead. Everyone else is negotiable. Remember when "Barry Allen dead" used to be the standard when describing a "really for sure dead" character?
That being said, I'm looking forward to the series. We'll see if Coulson can sustain weekly story arcs.
It look pretty good...can't wait.
Should we expect enemies from the marvel universe such as AIM, serpent society etc or do you think we will get villians that we have never heard of and street thugs/mafia types.
From what I've heard most of the premiere season will be dealing with missing phase 2 tech. So A.I.M., Justin Hammer and Roxxon would fit in very easily. All 3 have also been mentioned in Iron Man 1 or 2.
Looks like the right decision was made.
His fate in the Avengers was pathetically lame.
Full promotional trailer, nearly three minutes long.
Enjoy.
Uncle Ben stays dead.
Now that you said that ...
There's been hints we might see lower profile heroes on the show occasionally. I'm wondering if we got a shot of Luke Cage in that promo.
It could also be Rage, I would prefer Cage because where there's Cage you have Danny Rand nearby.

An awesome looking Whedon show that's not on Fox? Does this mean we will see more than 4 episodes before it's arbitrarily canceled?

rage remains one of my favorite heroes. Quite flawed and believable.

Sorry, i would gladly that they not even approve a show then arbitrarily cancel it mid season when you already get attached to the characters. It's a miracle that they allowed whedon to (hastily) finish season 1 at all.
Not too strange given their track record.
hopefully it last as long or longer than heroes.. Trailer looks really promising
At least Josh is continuing to cast old show alumni
Hello Gunn...
Uncle Ben stays dead.Gwen Stacy does too.
Essentially, it sucks to be Spider-Man.
Speaking of Spider-Man and dead, I wonder when he'll be coming back.
I guess Stacy clones don't count? ;)
Seriously, I'm treating the Spider-Man death like the recent Human Torch death. A temporary setback. As long as Mary Jane doesn't make another deal with Mephisto to bring him back...

I know the internet says I should care about Agent Coulson, but I have a hard time getting worked up about a character whose defining personality trait was dying like a b$!@~ to catalyze the heroes into taking action. But for his death, no one would be clambering for a show featuring Agent Coulson (or objecting to a show about SHIELD lacking Agent Coulson). He's just another member in the "unpopular/irrelevant until he died a noble death" brigade, joining such storied members as Doug Ramsey, Jason Todd, and Blink from AoA.

I knew quite a few people who loved the character before the Avengers came out because of his previous appearances.

And I know both people who liked Doug Ramsey before he died.
Coulson was always interesting to me but never important. I like that hes a tie in to the movie. I like that it basically says that Marvel is dedicated to creating something big. Had they replaced him, they could easily say that theres no link between the two but now they've created something (possibly) bigger then just another (usually crappy) superhero show. It means that instead of ignoring the existence of this show, i will actually watch it. And its on a channel i get with basic so that makes me happy

I'm a Coulson fan because of this, Funny thing happened on the way to Thor's hammer. It also proves that Coulson is a badass but just not as badass as Loki.
Yep, put me in the boat of folks who were a fan of Coulson before he died. His appearances in Iron Man 2, Thor, and especially the short films made him very endearing.
What all they said.

Doug wasn't bad, he just was written very poorly. For one thing, he should have been a supporting character, not one of the actual team members. For another, they made the ridiculous decision early on that since his power was of almost no use combat wise, they wouldn't bother to train him in combat. Yet they still toted him around into combat situations....in case Omega Red started yelling in Russian and Colossus wasn't there, I guess. They might as well have dressed him in bright neon red, green, and yellow and called him Target (or Robin).
Anyway, like most dead X-Men, he eventually did return, although he at least had the decency to stay dead for several years.

as much as I hate whedon in his many forms, I truly enjoyed coulsons death scene. Not out of a desire to see him die, but because I thought he was damn badass in it. And this is me talking.

There were a couple little segments on some Blu Ray releases that served as extra features. They're now on YouTube somewhere, I would imagine. The two I know of that had Coulson in it were "The Consultant" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the way to Thor's Hammer." The latter gives him a pretty badass moment.
Cooooool.
Saw him last night in a discussion after the Seattle International Film Festival premiere of Much Ado About Nothing. Nathan Fillion kept noting that everything he said was something Coulson would say. :-D
I have it on good authority fillons a good guy who deserves his fans.
