>> how big is Coulson? I mean he gives out the impression of small and quiet next to Thor or Captain America, but thats primarily body language. I had the impression that he is solidly middle of the average; not noticeably tall and not short. So with the Avengers he is taller than Natasha, Tony or Clint. <<
Coulson is average size, compared to the whole population. Marines, like the heavy hitters of the Avengers, are both taller and bulkier than average. Coulson simply doesn't have that kind of height, and doesn't bulk up as readily, so put him in a crowd of the Special Ops candidates and he looks like a runt in comparison.
>> What is Fury doing with a trench coat on the beach? What a way to stand out. <<
Well, he obviously didn't walk or swim there. It's a hint that he just came from somewhere else, presumably colder, but the trenchcoat also happens to be quite sensible protection on a windy beach. Flying sand will take your skin right off, and it doesn't take a whole lot of air movement to become unpleasant. Anyhow, Fury probably came from a helicarrier or other aircraft.
>> I'd arrest him on general suspicion of being up to no good if I was a police officer and run his face through a list looking for flashers. <<
*laugh* He just wanted to look like a total BAMF that day.
