But somehow a man can fly by whirling his hammer?
A cube can open dimensional portals??? And you are saying that alien Asgardian energy can't have strange effects on humans???
As someone just said, Maybe Coulson is not dead.....maybe he still had a spark of brain activity and that's all the weapons radiation needed......whatever!
What's the frikkin' leap, dude?? It's Marvel! It's comic book stuff!! Gamma rays dont cause cancer. They make green super strong monsters, instead!! Talk about leaps???? Really???
Seems you only like the "leaps" you want to like!
My explanation is plausible in a comic book universe......
And if you want a "non-supernatural" or "non-super science" resolution, go watch NCSI or something.
Fans aren't bothered by seeing
"sci fi" explanations! Geez....
Not all sci fi explanations are equal. It is much easier for a viewer to buy a magic hammer making someone able to fly by spinning it than it is for them to buy radiation from a gun raising the dead. The later is
absolutely sillier than the former.
People are willing to suspend their disbelief, generally, for two reasons:
1: If the thing that's weird and out there is presented, from the very beginning, as being mystical and mysterious.
2: If the way in which it defies reality is in a way that the audience is not familiar with.
The cube is acceptable because it is, from the very beginning, portrayed as being otherworldly and powerful, and the way in which it's silly pertains to aspects of physics that most people never think about.
The gun was portrayed as a gun, and people generally have an understanding of what a gun is and what it does. It giving off radiation is so far off from that, and in fact the exact opposite of that, that people won't buy it. It will seem forced and silly to them. Partly because it is forced and silly.
Maybe you could get them to buy it, but it would require a lot of complicated explaining and retconning to make it seem plausible, you certainly couldn't just drop it on them and expect them to go with it.
Also, you can't use "it's a comic book universe" as an excuse to pull anything right out of nowhere. If you do that, the logic of the narrative will start to completely break down, the verisimilitude with vanish, and people will stop caring because it will start to feel more and more fake.
Also also, in response to your NCIS comment, I'm not against a sci-fi explanation because I have a prejudice agains them, I'm agaisnt a sci-fi explanation because
there is absolutely no need for a sci-fi explanation. Saying that the medical team managed to save Coulson off screen and that Fury simply lied about his death to the team is completely believable, much simpler, and doesn't contradict anything we saw.
That's another thing: In a story, you should try and keep things as simple as you can, unnecessary complications just bogs down the story. What you're suggesting is extremely complicated.
