Consider this a MAJOR SPOILER WARNING for Avengers
I am going to start this off by saying that if anyone comments with reasons why not, or decides they want to ruin my justifications with competing evidence, or just all around attempts to spoil my mood: I will never talk to you again.
10 Reasons Why Phil is Still Alive:
1. We don't actually see him die. We see him supposedly loose consiousness, but no one goes from talking one second to completely dead the next. At least not for a minute or two, which is when the med tech guys arrived.
2. Fury says 'down' not 'dead'.
3. The blood on the Captain America cards is a little too...wet. Also, he got them out of the locker anyways, right?
4. Coulson would totally be self-sacrificing like that, just to get the team together.
5. Better yet, Fury is definitely enough of a bastard to use it against the team/for the team.
6. Fury always lies. They said that mulitple times. Especially Tony.
7. Really, can SHIELD even function without Coulson? I think not. Fury certainly can't. And Hill isn't going to take over being the go-between for the team and Fury when Tony's having one of his bad days.
8. Coulson went up against Loki alone. Phil is not that stupid. And he's really smart enough to not depend on an untested weapon.
9. During one of the cast interviews, Cobie (Maria Hill) stated quite clearly that she's in the Council's pocket and is there to keep an eye on Fury. Fury isn't about to tell her the truth, is he now? And he is very...unclear at the end about the whole Avengers Initiative and the team.
10. Coulson is never mentioned again after Tony and Steve have that 'You've never lost a soldier, have you?' talk and then promptly go save the world.
Those are my completely rational, well-thought, fandom-agreed-upon, reasons. Kindly do not ruin my mood, no matter how vindictive you're feeling right now. It's better to stay quiet.
