Coulson on the Fury Files and SHIELD

ericadawn16When Ultimate Spider-Man premiered 15 months ago, they had this segment with most of the shows, The Fury Files, where a hero would be introduced or described in greater depth than most of the episodes allow. I've been waiting for Coulson to be covered ever since. It seemed a bit like a pipe-dream but at the end of the Iron Fist episode, Journey of the Iron Fist, IT HAPPENED!!!!
The Fury Files...Accessing
Fury's Voice: Fury here, I need a special agent for an important Mission but not a superhero. I need a real agent, Agent Coulson. First name: Phil. This tried and true SHIELD agent proves that you don't need super powers to be a hero. You see, while I've got my head in the clouds, Coulson's got his eyes on the ground. I've got him undercover as the school principal at Midtown High. You see, these "kids" could use a little education, a little guidance and a SHIELD certified role model. Coulson might not be as physically strong as the Hulk but don't let his ordinary appearance fool you, Agent Coulson is my right hand man. Hero Approved. Go get 'em. Fury out.
I'm not sure I totally agree with these statistics but it's still cool that they exist. There was no mention of a birthday. For those unfamiliar with Coulson's birthday drama, this is what has happened:
Fandom decided: April 2, 1962 When in doubt, do the actor's birthday.
IMDB: Insists Gregg's birthday is June 29, 1962.
Iron Man 2 Behind the Scenes/The Avengers: July 8, 1964
Phil Coulson Dossier from the iPad App*: April 2, 1965
*This was NOT included in the Briefcase Set which will always be a disappointment.
Marvel at the New York ComiCon: 1969
This is kind of weird because according to Iron Man 3, Tony and Phil would be the same age but that could be fun. It definitely does match up with the 616 Coulson though who seems a little younger than the cinematic counterpart.
So yeah, while most people accept July 8, he doesn't seem to have a firm birthdate and I'm not changing my story timelines yet again...
Also, when I was watching The Avengers last summer, I noticed in his death scene that it looked like Coulson's ear had been pierced at some point. Gregg confirmed earlier this summer that he had pierced his ear but not whether he'd pierced both so I paid extra special attention during Much Ado about Nothing and it is BOTH ears.
Now, between that and Ultimate Spider-Man insisting that Coulson had long hair when he was younger...I want more fic of Coulson's wild younger days...did someone have to make a different call with him?
I can't wait for more of Agents of SHIELD stuff but for now, we have new character features:
Is it just me or does Fitz have a bit of a Ianto or vulnerable Owen vibe? Ooh, he's Scottish! Oh, he needs to be talking all the time...

Date: 2013-07-24 05:33 am (UTC)I would be half-excited, half-afraid about such a collaboration since everyone would be killed and then they would have epic arguments about who to bring back, if any...although someday, I would love for Joss to do an episode of Doctor Who.
The thing about whether Marvel should get to publish DW for the crossovers is this...
Currently, IDW doesn't do crossovers with Doctor Who and if this is the fault of IDW, then I'm all for a change.
However, it's my sneaking suspicion that it's Doctor Who that's against the idea even though IDW has properties that would be AWESOME for a crossover like Buffy, Angel, other Whedon properties, The X-Files and My Little Pony...I mean My Little Pony already has Doctor Hooves and one of the various Buffy comics had Ten and Rose in the background. I also would LOVE for The Lone Gunmen to meet Eleven.
Although if Marvel did get the license rights again, I want them to be able to put a Tardis at Epcot because dammit, United Kingdom should have a Tardis! It just needs one.
That's the other problem with Marvel...a large vocal part of the internet always gets up in arms any time that Doctor Who and Disney are mentioned anywhere near each other.
Daughter does make more sense than my headcanon...that Harkness is her married name from marrying Jack.
Then again, Jack's father was established as being named Franklin so I still think he either IS Franklin Richards or descended from him.
Matt Fraction could write an awesome Torchwood story though, I'm sure of it.

Date: 2013-07-24 04:51 pm (UTC)Did you read the recent Who/ST: TNG comic crossover? It was pretty good. I supposed that even happened because IDW also has the Star Trek property at the moment. IDW isn't totally against crossing over with other companies, as they recently did a crossover with Classic Trek and the Legion of Super-Heroes. I think it might be the Beeb that's more hesitant of doing too many crossovers with Who. That wouldn't surprise me.
Hee, how about a whole Whoniverse land at Disney while we're at it? There's already rumors that Star Wars Land is in the works! LOL
Hmm, yeah... I wouldn't be surprised it Agatha turned out to be an ex-wife of Jack's. I could see him being into the sorceress type. *giggles*
Oh, Franklin Richards as Jack's father or ancestor? That would be an interesting twist! I'm liking your crossover bunnies there! (I've had a notion that Jack's son-in-law was Peggy Carter's son or grandson, and that Steven was named after Cap.)
