I don't know whether I'm happier about the movie or the TV series. I would LOVE to see a weekly series about SHIELD, especially if they somehow resurrect Agent Coulson.
That would be wonderful, but I don't know what the chances of a resurrection are. I somehow managed to see all the previews for the movie, and then sit through watching it, before I discovered that Joss Whedon was involved. But in hindsight, that's totally his MO - to kill off a character you love.
Though I'm amused that all of the Avengers fanfic I've read just completely glosses over Coulson's death. It's like fandom as a whole said to Joss, "La, la, la... We can't hear you!"
Well, Damage Control evidently exists in the MCU, so why not?
I'd also love it if they did the typical Marvel thing and occasionally had other superheroes visible in the background (Tony on TV babbling about his latest product launch, Steve sketching something at the Met, Natasha at the ballet, Bruce at yoga class, and so on). That would be awesome beyond belief.
