Coulson was in a short film called The Consultant?? I glanced around the 'net and apparently it's on the Thor bluray. Guess I'll have to lay hands on a copy.
I read most of Marvel's titles about a billion years ago ('70s as a kid) and gave up on them in the late '80s (too many X-Men spin-offs and rising prices plus the explosion of great indies luring me away), but I remember the Avengers fondly. I always liked Scarlet Witch and the Vision's story. Iron Man and Captain America were my favorites, though (oh, my homemade Captain America Halloween costume -- so tragic and so loved).
What you said: "The common enemy gets them in one place.But what unites them is Phil Coulson." Very much so for me. There was so much bickering amongst them when drawn together, but they became a real team after Coulson was killed. (I keep wishing that Fury's toss of the bloody cards was his way of faking Coulson's death to motivate the group. I'll be reading plenty of fix-it fic.)
Anyhow, I liked your review, and yeah, I wouldn't mind reading your dissertation, too.
(BTW, found you by clicking through Avengers posts. Hi.)
