* In ''Series/AgentsOfShield'', Phil Coulson simply will ''not'' stay dead. The series even kicks off by revealing S.H.I.E.L.D. found a way to bring him back after the events of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', and while at first it's played with grave seriousness as they brought him back using a DangerousForbiddenTechnique that had lasting negative consequences, it becomes easier and easier for him to come back with each death as the series goes on, be it as a sort-of-but-not-really alternate universe clone or as an [[BrainUploading advanced cyborg]].
