In the recent Marvel film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier Director Nick Fury hinted that Steve Rogers (Captain America) would be the new leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., however, in the season finale of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury has temporarily stepped down and made Phil Coulson the new Director of the agency.
Do you think Nick Fury should have kept his job, placed Rogers in charge, agree with his choice of Coulson, or given some other S.H.I.E.L.D. agent or Avenger the position?
Jason Covert says
First of all, Nick Fury didn’t “temporarily” step down. He knows that the S.H.I.E.L.D. he ran is gone. He handed what keys he had left to Coulson and gave him the mandate to rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D. For all tense and purposes, Phil Coulson is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. unless he dies or goes crazy.

The phrase is “intents and purposes,” not “tense and purposes.”

Thanks for the clarification *rolls I’s

I’m totally walkabout ’cause I can’t connect the movies to the TV show and back again. The TV show bored me so I stopped watching, plus Captain America is not on my must see list. I feel there is a story disconnect somewhere and I shall move on.

I like Winter Soldier as much as I liked Avengers. I’ve already seen Winter Soldier 3 times, and I’m planning on seeing it a 4th, before I go see X-Men: Days of Future Past one or two more times 🙂
