- The Marvel Cinematic Universe is about all kinds of superheroes, but most of them either have powers from birth or are able to create them with technology. However, one of the undeniable heroes of the franchise is Phil Coulson, who is just a regular guy who happens to be one of the masterminds behind S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson has appeared in multiple films in the series, but his character was really expanded on in the TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. From his superhero fandom growing up to his final moments on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., let’s take a look at Phil Coulson’s entire Marvel backstory.

What do you think of Coulson's character arc?
He's my favorite Marvel character by far.
I enjoy his role in both MCU films and in the series and want to see him and Daisy Johnson/ Quake more in the future in both films and the disney plus series.
Non existent
Great and humorous character
He's the best Agent
I started watching agents of S.H.I.E.L.D first(not even knowing what the show was really about). I loved the show, especially the character Coulson so much, I started watching all the Marvel movies. I never cared to watch anything about superheroes, until SHIELD. Now I LOVE superhero movies and shows, all because of Coulson.
"The only thing better than one Phil Coulson is several Phil Coulson"
The Koenigs: Cute.
Am I d only one who said it’s a magical place when he mentioned Tahiti
The Koenig's all look the same.
😂😂😂😂
When you think about it Coulson has had more screen time than anyone else in the MCU - he deserved to be apart of infinity war/endgame
He sure does!
Imagine the scene:
(Portals from various realms open.. out of one Agent Coulson and his team appear.)
"Cap it's good to see you again"
The two old friends share a hug
"Been way too long.. you, and your team ready to fight?!"
"Always.. let's save the universe"
Then Cap utters..
"Avengers.... Assemble!!!!"
endgame is out already
@@blackhokage1744 Which explains why the word "deserved" was used, being the past tense and all.
@@darraghtate440 ok thanks English teacher
How was Tahiti?
Coulson: It sucked.
“Its a magical place”
@@FadiSaaidi for a minute
@@katherineharris3459 until he actually went there and well it was pretty magical
@@UbixQ that’s true, with his…
Fury called Coulson an Avenger in Agents of Shield
I always liked Phill Coulson, he tied all of the phase one movies together. I watched Agents of Shield just to see how he survived. I enjoyed the show much more than I expected.
Me too, My brother convinced me to watch the show and Now I love it
indeed....i'm still not completely certain Agents of Shield doesn't happen in a slightly different timeline....maybe after the one timeline unraveled, in Loki
I think he should have been at Tony's Funeral in End Game because he was there in the very first Iron Man film.
He was dead at that time endgame takes place after season 5
@@Joao-ug7hv oh ok well that makes sense. I never got a chance to watch Agents of Shield. To bad it didnt fall in line with him being resurrected yet like when the video ended. It's a shame because he was there from the begining.
João Victor I actually think it’s bc it’s not canon anymore bc marvel studios produced by Feige (the movies and upcoming disney plus shows) has broken off from marvel entertainment (the old shows like AOS) I’m pretty sure the only things canon from now on our projects produced by Feige
@@zachmcmullen4679 That sucks I thought they were keeping everything canon with each other. At least Agents of Shield and the Peggy Carter spin off. It sucks if they get thrown into there own separate universe.
@@SchardtCinematic true
I love him because he's the everyman. We can see ourselves in him, rubbing shoulders with noble giants.
Wel said! It’s why we all love him!
Exactly!
Yup. He's a total fan of this superhero stuff, like us.
I mean he's insanely intelligent so maybe not, everyman
Some of those being literal giants. :D
Ahhh son of Coul, one of my favourite characters of the MCU 😂
@Lwandile M
I don't care how often they do it. The guy IS Shield
@ANTHONY THOMAS
To be fair he DID die in season five earlier on, be it briefly
@@bensenzo Twice, actually. Heart-punched by a mechanical soldier and brought back by Creel, and then he collapsed on Jemma, and she had to do CPR on him.
@@lyncat
oh you're right. But wasn't it Yoyo who did CPR? And used her speed?
@@bensenzo I was kinda guessing then. Thought it was Jemma; could be wrong.
i'm still pissed they didn't have the agents of shield show up at endgame with coulson THAT would have been epic
Hell i would have jumped up and down in tears even if they had just let coulson back into the movies alone
Yeah quake's powers would have been useful
They were busy stopping a tyrant
I'm so grateful they didn't. And if they bring Quake into the MCU, while I hope they cast Chloe Bennett, I really hope they bring her forward a few years in maturity and give her a character a bit of a makeover.
@@paulaunger3061 I think her character is quite good but I would like to see a more mature version of her in the movies (maybe when they form a new avengers team). She's already matured quite a lot from season 1, by training with May and Coulson.
This is less a Coulson timeline and more a nice refresher before season 7.
In other words, this video was pointless.
@@the_balox Just like you're comment, I suppose. Anything can be pointless if you don't find a point in it.
And I'm not complaining
@@the_balox
He never said or insinuated that the video was pointless. Where did you even get that?
@@the_balox Everything is pointless when you are being obtuse.
Coulson makes a great POV for explaining pretty much the entire MCU. It's hard to imagine another character that provides narrative entry into so many parts of the whole picture.
Fury? Tony? Coulson doesnt really interact with what happens in the movie after the first avengers.
@@Julian-pw5mv tony knows very little compared to what Coulson has been through. Fury might know what coulson knows but he doesn't know about the darkhold.
@@gr8esthandleever no but the mcu isnt just agents of shield... coulson knows next to nothing about thanos, you know the main bad guy of the mcu...
@@Julian-pw5mv you mean because he's dead at that point?
@@Julian-pw5mv for me shield/hydra, even the inhumans ancient story is way more relevant than Thanos to the MCU, since it is how the infinity saga starts and they've protected earth many more times than the avengers. Also, yep, Coulson is dead (season 5 death, the real one) just before Infinity War happens. Not even Endgame.
How did you miss that it was Coulson that rebuilt the Helicarrier Fury used in Age of Ultron. It was his secret Theta Protocol project for a whole season.
he also found the intel on Loki's scepter being in Strucker's possession & where his base was located, which he passed onto Maria Hill to give the Avengers which in turn leads into the beginning of Age of Ultron
I liked that you didn't need this information to enjoy the films - although Age of Ultron is easily one of the weakest.
That's cool, didn't know that!
@@newageBoundhippie daaamnn
@@paulaunger3061 But you would be wondering how the Avengers got the information.
For real, if you haven’t watched Agents of SHIELD, you’re really missing out.
I miss Ward
S4 is the only one worth watching in full.
Knightfall182 season 6 was kind of all over the place but it's really intriguing
@@acbankrolls124 Season 5 was disappointing. What was with the little blonde girl villain? Clearly some network interference happening 😄
Welp, that summary of such convoluted arcs made me *not* regret *not* watching it.
Yes I know that’s a double negative.
“Without you there is no S.H.I.E.L.D”
Or avengers
@@life-zc1mb damn, you want an award for having the skill of being able to google it? lmao
@@hendrikpat I don't even have to Google it now I have watched this show like more than 3 times I can say the full for of shield whenever I want
@@ishaansankar3653 or even iron man
Phil Coulson: The Fallen Avenger. Without him there is no S.H.I.E.L.D
Without him there is no avengers.
Without him there is no MCU.
My favorite Avenger, personally, he’s my hero, I have all of his trading cards, but enough about me.
@@purestrangeness1839 I don't know if your comment is a reference too, but this person made a reference to the scene where Coulson is talking about Captain America.
What people don't realise is that this character was never in the comics,the character was so awesome in the movies that he latter got added to the comics. Miss the good old days when coulson and his monotone were the connective tissue between movies😩
And he was a key caracter in the cartoons of Ultimate Spider-Man!
he is now he's even worked with deadpool a few times
@@WardNightstone his growth in popularity has been remarkable
I really like agents of shield. I’m super sad to see it go. Fingers crossed for some type of spin off to happen there. (Possibly that Bobbi Morse lance hunter show we were supposed to get but never did.)
@@jtparker6286 Sword is coming
When Season 1 came out, the creators of the show said that the theme song of the series was actually Coulson's theme song. It just shows that he is more than just a man or an agent. He was always an Avenger and Fury was right when he said it.
I don't care how many versions of Coulson are there. The guy should never die
"Dying is kinda my superpower"
He's the Duncan Idaho of the MCU.
Coulson is a robot now
watch capton marvel get see another one die. not sure but think beat loki number see him die.
@@PhilBagels I get that refrence!
Somebody tell Cap and Bucky that Coulson has Howard's flying car that he promised.
Sonal Shekhar Bhoi yes
That is Coulson's
He made it with his father
@@mathematicsuniverse1828 coulson's lying.. he's a spy. His secrets have secrets.
@@SonalShekharBhoi Well, that's what has been established in Marvels Agents of SHIELD
@@lfhlfh4829 Chutiye! It's a joke. CHILL
You forgot to mention that he was the reason the Avengers knew where Loki's scepter was and what he did during season 3.
not just the intel on Loki's scepter but also his involvement in developing the Helicarrier Fury & Hill showed up in to help in Sokovia
@@newageBoundhippie
Developing? No, he was fixing the one we saw in the first Avengers movie.
@@sion8 so I misworded it....point still remains that he was responsible for that helicarrier being usable for that Sokovia rescue operation
Don’t touch Lola.
ward : shot lola
Wow! So many twists and turns. I am so very happy for the actor. I saw an interview where he said his being cast in the first Avengers movie was his big break.
Coulson needs to make his return to the mainline mcu in phase 4. It was great seeing him in captain marvel but we didnt see him nearly enough so I wouldnt mind seeing more rookie Coulson on d+ maybe (Fury and Coulson). Besides that just bring Daisy Johnson's Quake and LMD Coulson into SWORD or something.
As much as I absolutely love Clark Gregg I feel like the character has to end somewhere. I think the LMD is a bit much but hey I'll take any more Clark Gregg as he wants to give.
@@itzmikie1 i think bringing coulson back as an LMD is just right. They do need an expert on shield history and they have explained before that coulson discovered shield's involvement throughout historic events
@@gr8esthandleever I wouldn't be against it since I love the character but if he ends with this show I think its fair.
@@itzmikie1 I would agree however Coulson hasnt made it back to the mcu in any form - not even a mention - and the avengers never knew he survived. It would be cool to see his reaction to how stark died and further black widow sacrificed herself.
@@itzmikie1 i agree. His character should end with the show. He's a huge part of the larger MCU no matter how forgotten he is. Without his death, we'd have no Avengers.
Just realized Thor called him "Son of Cole" lol
Correct spelling would be "Son of Coul" (as in Coulson). Much like names in the Nordic countries used to be. (Anderson, or Son of Anders ... Ericson, or Son of Eric etc). Iceland still follows a similar pattern with many of their names.
Even lady sif called him that at one of her cameos in agents of shield
@@dbchairman oh Yeah she did!! Thanks for reminding me of that. I forgot
So does Lady sif
Phil Coulson, The Strongest Avenger.
His superpower is dying.
My favorite tv series!!! So sad that this will be the last season.
Really? Well it has to happen at some point before they over stay it.
As a big fan, its bittersweet. All good things have to come to an end. I'm just hoping they do an "Agents of SWORD" with a new cast with some old characters returning in minor roles.
@@Grim_Concept the writing team showed no signs of slowing down. Every season introduced higher stakes without it being too much. The show would be still be on if people didn't expect the avengers to show up and if Kevin feige didn't take over all of marvel entertainment.
Same
Season 7 is gonna be fire
Well, it IS fire.
Facts
And also heartbreaking cause it's season finale.
@@ladytokyo2244 don't be sad it's ending, be happy it happened (especially when it was meant to end in season 5)
Is it possible that Coulson's LMD stays in the past and lives through the decades. Either creating a time loop where the LMD IS Coulson, or secretly helping out in the shadows until he can finally reveal himself in the present.
I just like the idea of LMD Coulson buying the Captain America trading cards brand new when they came out.
Sounds even more messy than whats already been going on in the show lol.
This... I would not put it past the writers.
Or... LMD Coulson buys the cards, then gets Captain America to sign them. Guest starring Chris Evans. 😁
When Mack cut Coulson’s hand off there were no sparks and wires so I doubt that the time loop would be plausible
@@itzmikie1 how has the show been messy?
He is a gawd dayum American treasure
more bcs of Choke though. If you've not seen that, you don't know C. Gregg
@@jameshickman1641 I have read all of Chuck's novels, and in turn, will watch any movie based on his material. Awesome plug tho man. Keep having great taste!
@@jameshickman1641 Also, Sam Rockwell was fantastic in it. WAS THIS THE FIRST TIME SON OF COUL MET JUSTIN HAMMER?!? Next on Screen Rant
Love Coulson so much, he's awesome. Can't wait for season 7 to start, but gutted it's ending. Thanks for a wild great ride AOS... 💟
Great "101" on Phil Coulson. Appreciate it. 👍
Hope you can do a similar video on Melinda "the Cavalry" May.
This summary is so well written. Brief but hits on all the relevant points.
except the awesome shield hand, where he got to be captain america
You know damn well he will be in the MCU again. He is one of the top 5 fan favs without a doubt.
Thank you for awesome timeline of Coulson.
Coulson is in classic comic fashion of never staying dead
Dying is his super power.
He's had more comic-book deaths than Loki!
Reigning champion is Jean Gray
@@edwinrodriguez1812 Does Jean Gray appear in the MCU?
@@HienNguyenHMN nope
Coulson has only died twice.
@@HarleyQuinn-ol8ex And he collapsed once with Jemma, and she had to do CPR to get him back. So 4 deaths.
LOVED this video! :D Go Phil Coulson, immortal Earth hero... can't wait to watch Season 7 after binge watching the entire AOS series through the pandemic.
What did you think!? AoS is easily the greatest TV series I've ever witnessed, 32 years old and just started Avengers Assemble, animated but itz Marvel so worth the watch.
@@leeroy5665 I couldn't agree more! 😁
Thank you for this video. It is a real good show of Phil's Timeline through S.H.I.E.L.D., which I loved, and miss having in my program every week. :) Nice job!
Well i'm glad you guys figured it out while the rest of us already knew. i'm so proud! knew you guys would get it one day. Congrats
Cant wait for season 7
Just one more day
you can't wait? you've been waiting though lol
I've seen the movies and seasons multiple times over, and this video was still thoroughly enjoyable. Well done Looper.
Clark Gregg is the heart of the whole MCU. I'm going to miss MAoS but hope Coulson and the rest of the cast will continue to show up in the future movies/TV shows.
Binged a couple months back - a really good show
I love this series and I’m sad/excited for the last season. In the finale of season 6, the team is sent to New York in 1931, so what if they are there to protect the shield testing facility where they made Captain America? Honestly, I would just like to see tie-ins to the films and/or Agent Carter in some way because when the show was first developed, it was very tied to the movies, then skewed away, so even though Feige doesn’t want to acknowledge the continuity of this show in the scheme of the MCU, I’d love a slight nod!
thank for the recap , can't wait for the last season
Great video! I recently binge watched the entire AOS series and I’m glad I decided to give it another try. When I started season 6 I was like they really gonna find a way to have him in the show no matter what lol but this video gave me a new perspective. Son of Coul is really the glue of SHIELD. I can’t imagine it without him
💯
Personally, I don't count him as being back in season 6 because that was a totally different character. He was pretty good as the villain. Almost as intimidating as season 3 coulson. Lol
Nick Salazar agreed I just meant the actor Clark Gregg. No matter what, they were gonna find a way to have him in the show
Damn. I was hoping Daisy Johnson would be a part in MCU movies. Even if just a goddamn cameo for God sake.
Coulson is definitely and has been one of my favorite characters throughout the MCU, he is just the best, the only reason I started watching AoS and the same reason everyone did was because Coulson was in it. It's definitely been a wild ride with this show, although it wasn't that great at times and could have been improved drastically it's still nice to see Coulson
Same. Coulson's a lovely character :) But AoS feels like fan fiction. The Grant Ward twist was amazing though. I think he was the 'charming psychopath' and unrelenting bad guy Whedon wanted Loki to be.
Thanks guys. Nice summary.
Love Agents of Shield! Literally I watch it on rewind. Once I’m done with all the seasons I just start it over. It’s such a great show!! I always ask ppl who say they are Marvel fans if they have watched Agents of Shield, and if they say no I’m like then u aren’t a Marvel fan! Lol 😂 I’m just kidding of course but u can’t say u watched all of Marvel without saying you’ve watched Agents of Shield. This show is just amazing!! ❤
And what sucks, is there hasn't been more seasons.
Season 7 is comming this year
You know season 7 comes out literally today right? ABC at 10-11PM.
@@hiu414 It's today
The final season’s first episode is out on Hulu! 💋💋
I love this
thanks for the upload. i have never watched an episode of agents of shield but you persuade me to do so. great vid. just subscribed.
Thank you Looper for making this video as I watched the entire thing and realizing how much of the whole thing I didn't FULLY understand and now I am now going to watch the series one more time! Probably not just one more time though, because this is actually my top MARVEL series of all time. Tying in with Daredevil. But the reason being Daredevil, in my opinion, is incomplete.
Aos is my fav, tomorrow new episode of the final season, savour it like its the most delicious treat out there
what do you mean final season? madness D:
Great original character of the films
This was great, thanks!
I have enjoyed the Agents of Shield since the beginning of the series. It will be a day to remember as it comes to an end THANKS FOR THE RECAP.
He is the man. "Tigers been out the cage"
Coulson has the best lines haha
More Phil Coulson's story to come in Season 7 premiering May 27
Agents of Shield one of the best shows ever made! Loved it! Phil Coulson made this show! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Great recap!
They should have ended the series with May and Coulson on the beach, would have been the best ending
Definitely. The following season was hard to watch, almost unbearable.
but they needed to explain the loose ends
Honestly, I thought that was the last episode. It ended the series well I thought. I have some catching up to do!
@@josuelillo1 disagree
@@josuelillo1 agreed, i watched it all the way until that season, completely through me off :/
So tony stark wasn't the first dude to discover time travel?
If by dude you mean human using science then maybe? The time travel in agents of shield is based on something akin to a time stone, so dunno if it counts :D
@@Daniel-yy3ty I'd at least count Dr. Strange's mentor, "The Ancient One", from her using an Infinity Stone as the top contender, thus far. ;)
I’ve got a sore head! Information overload! Thanks though! 👍🍺🏴
Grand Ward was one of the best plot twist villains that ever happened in the MCU. Thats a bonus point for AOS. Though I would have loved for him to stay in the show as an professional agent!
Btw. first i thought it would just be "Agents" of S.H.I.E.L.D., not "Agents" with "Inhumen" and "mystery" and "wth is Coulson still alive". First I was dissapointed but then I was like "Yeah this is actually pretty great. Especially with the time travel thing and alternate universe and so on..."
Should have included 'don't worry, i know what it does'
Son of Coul!!! Funniest and most missable joke!!!
Coulson was and really is the heart of the MCU.
Represents all it's values at the highest level.
AofS is the most intricate, and most entertaining series i've ever watched. i want, nay, need more!
I thought there was going to be some new information, not just retelling his story through films and the tv show
Who thinks the Ghost Rider should get his own TV SHOW?
Ghost rider but Johnny blaze one
This is more like a recap and a refresher instead of an backstory
The AofS final episode is beautiful.
so wait, did "real" Coulson die in Tahiti from his loki injury with May?
yes
Hell of a callback
yes, off screen, between seasons 5 and 6
Why did you skip Hive arc?
Clark has an unremarkable but engaging face. He's also softly spoken but his voice has a quality that makes him special.
Yeah, surprised that Theta Protocol and Audrey Nathan (the cellist) didn't get any mention in this. But still, this video was obviously well researched and really satisfying to watch. Phil Coulson has been my favorite member of the MCU ever since 2012, so it is really rewarding to see him get the attention he deserves in a video like this. Nicely done!
Why was all of season 3 skipped?
Wrong. Coulson was there when they found Cap. He informed Fury, not the other way around.
Agent of shield it's a wonderful ,i watched all seasons now I'm waiting for next seasons .
Phil Coulson is a legand! He is such an underrated character along with the agents of shield show
Don’t touch Lola
wait ok so how does agents of shield fit into endgame? like did they ever cover it and did any of them disappear then reappear? and how did they not also do a 5 year time jump and does Phil know Tony cap and Natasha are gone? this is so confusing. o and the extinction level event how were the avengers not alerted abt it and why wasn't daisy apart of that avengers program that cap and Natasha were working on
This is so true! Daisy needs to b in the Avengers!
They mentioned infinity war in the show. The reason Daisy fights Talbot is because was trying to steal her power so he was strong enough to defeat Thanos. But besides that, there is no mention of the dusting. They are kinda just avoiding it. This next season takes place in the past so they don't have to deal with any of the timeline issues of endgame
They'll probably clean it up by saying the timelines split at some point. Hard to say when, perhaps around the cataclysmic event or maybe with all the time travel that is supposed to happen in the upcoming season there may be some sort of correction or explanation to the differences.
The short version: AoS is not part of the MCU (as Kevin Feige affirmed), so whatever happens on this show would not have any effect on the movies.
@@josuelillo1 oooo thank u sm I was literally so confused
He's actually one of my favorite *Agents Of Shield* characters ; among the movies as well 😄
This is pretty comprehensive!
Wait a second, they forgot about the hive.😂
Imagine if S.H.E.L.D still had 3 helicarriers.
i really like when vlogers like this do the video vlogwhich really use the video materials and not just narrating the vlog till the end keep up th good work,
Omg my favourite Coulson moment is when you realize that in the beginning of Avengers, Potts walks away with him to elevator and you can hear them talking about his lady friend that plays the instrument. When you watch AoS you realize how that small little bit connects to the story of the MCU as a whole.
...proves how weird agents of shield has gotten
Exactly lol. Sheeesh
Have you ever opened a S.H.I.E.L.D./Fury comic?
2 words- hate monger.
2 more words.
V-Battalion.
4 final ones.
"Men" On the Wall.
This was the definitive interpretation of S.H.I.E.L.D. from 60 years of comics.
1 last word.
Graviton.
All they needed was him to absorb someone in the Raft and BREAKOUT, for a single story covering his entire comic life.
Give me that wierd!!!!!
It's not like S.H.I.E.L.D. came from a comic series called "STRANGE TALES" (1965)....
The S.H.I.E.L.D.-HYDRA war (literally) led to the destruction of Earth in a few what if timelines and then they finally do it and not only do it but stick the shit out of the landing.
Don't tell me that Season 5 minute by minute Infinity War tie in wasn't damn right epic.
Graviton is literally trying to get to The Avengers... What a waste on the Film side, but you could literally say, ZEPHYR-ONE went from Tahiti to Wakanda and Quake's involvement in the 14,000,606th timeline led to Thanos death in Wakanda and the divergence that was Season 6, still epic but they are literally setting up Operation: Galactic Storm (which followed infinity Gauntlet in the comics too) & Kang's involvement in the multiverse. (A future where Earth is destroyed due to an Interstellar conflict of the Avengers doing). Cause who on S.H.I.E.L.D. is considered an Avenger?....
PHIL MOTHER EFFING COULSON.
& Best believe their time meddling is gonna bring this bad mofo back to smack the living eff out of Red Skull!!!!
(Because a S.H.I.E.L.D. series wouldn't be complete without their greatest enemy, and possibly their inspiration (Albeit the newest version) returning to the fight).
I don't see how that's a bad thing
Confused AF
Weeeewwww 6 season in 11:16. Thanks for the recap bud!
THX..............!!!
0200 "after dealing with thundergods and billionaire geniuses..."
Ummm actually...
Coulson's fanboy moment came earlier in the film. On a quinjet when Coulson was transporting Steve to the carrier.
Son of Coul did not see Thor until after the Thor v Iron Man fight.

he was in the 1st Thor movie.
@@lyncat No, play the quote. We were talking about the bloody Capt. America cards. That happened in Avengers, not Thor, and later in the film than noted.

I really loved his character.
