I cried when Coulson died. I did not cry when Rachel died.

I did a quiet semi-mocking "nooooooo" to my friend, if that counts (it doesn't)

Ha, Rachel's death is handled far better than Coulson's even though it lost all of it's impact thanks to Maggie Gyllenhaal replacing Holmes.
..and the real death of TDK is Dent anyways.

Ripley's death in Outerspace Pocahontas 3D was better handled than TDKs deaths.
I mean, at least Sam Worthington almost managed to cry.

Haha.
This thread wouldn't be any better if Whedon himself wrote the posts!

Best death in TDK was Gordon's death, and we know how that turned out.
Coulson's standalone movie in 2014!
Antics of a superhero (and villain) scout.

He went on a secret mission to recruit Spider-man
Yeah, that's what he did!

Wait, you're not Whedon? WHAT THE FUCK MAN.
Where's Hawkeye and BW?

It wasn't that clear in TDK that Dent was dead.
And LOL at suggesting that Rachel's death was more affecting to the audience than Coulson.
Pikachulk needs to be a lot bigger.

What? I said that it lost it's impact.
It is handled far better within the narrative than Coulson's though, at least in my opinion.

Sucks that NeoGAF got rid of GIF Avatars.

You missed a couple:
I knew they existed somewhere! I wonder why the artist chose Pikachu of all Pokemon though...
How many times has everybody gone and watched the movie so far? I've seen it twice, and contemplating watching it a third time this weekend.
Wait, I thought Feige was the reason this movie was so great and successful in the first place?
I'm not really saying anything regarding Coulson's death, just that Rachel's demise was utterly weightless.

So just saw it again today. Theater was packed, but it was so great to be a part of hearty laughter during all the quips and funny scenes.
I still don't quite get how Fury planting blood on the cards was so important. I mean I saw the post above how they had to work as a team, but I dunno, it seemed kind of redundant to me.

The cards thing was to emphasize how he was just some regular guy who died trying to do what the heroes he worshipped should have been doing.

Both showings I went to, people gasped when Coulson died.
Plus the internet response.
Plus the discourse with friends afterwards.
Plus the majority of this thread
Plus the way I experienced it.
You guys in the minority saying it wasnt well portrayed doesnt really matter much. Most people cared when they saw it happen.
Plot wise, Tony is the only one that needed to be convinced on the team concept. Hawkeye, Black Widow and Cap were all over it. Thor never showed any disdain and seemed neutral, and Hulk seemed convinced early on, but only showed doubts when Tony started egging on.
Tony is not a soldier, when people he doesnt know die he reacts like everybody else does, ignores it. Its once someone hes kind of familiar with passes does he buy into the team concept because he really wants the Hulk to smash the shit out of Loki.
Its clear, its well explained, Coulson is likable and its well executed.

Boom. 350.
Exactly. Bob just never liked the character. Anyone who did felt something when he died.
