I have been trying to assemble words into a coherent thought process for the last few hours and failing utterly. I think there may not actually be words in the English language to describe how amazing this movie was. I love Marvel movies, but this definitely topped them all, and not just because everyone was in it.
And damn did it surprise the heck out of me.
I cried. I won't pretend otherwise. I had a momentary fleeting glimpse of hope and then that was promptly squashed. I can't even think about this world without Coulson. I mean the very thought just doesn't bear thinking about. But I suppose I will have to, one day. It's more of a loss than I think any other death could have been. But, of course, no one else was ever going to die. The expendable one. The red shirt. I MISS PHIL ALREADY.
I should have known at the beginning when Pepper calls him 'Phil' and they have that whole interchange. It was entirely a set up for an emotional death scene later. But he died a hero. And more than that, he was the linchpin that started the final fight. He was the reason Tony stepped up to the plate. Which means, he accomplished more by dying than living. I still prefer him alive.
It's going to be hard to top this movie ever again. Not to mention how hard it will be for anyone to top it this year. I give the Hobbit and Snow White the only chance, and only the former for monetary numbers.
They are going to make another, right? That wasn't just some really cruel teaser at the end was it?
