Att citera Clark Gregg (vem spelar Agent Coulson) :
What’s the deal with Tahiti. Tahiti’s a magical place. I keep saying that… it’s where I went to recover after being impaled and as I say in the pilot, it was a spectacular experience, I had a beautiful physical therapist and I read Travis McGee novels all day.
But every time someone mentions it lately I seem to go into post traumatic stress so I think there’s a little more to Tahiti than meets the eye.
och
There’s a much darker, more interesting story there. Something much more magical has gone on to bring this guy back to life.
På grund av ordet "magiskt" en teori är att Scarlet Witch hade något att göra med hans uppståndelse. ( Scarlet Witch kommer att visas i 'The Avengers 2' ) . Men för tillfället är det rent spekulation.
I en intervju (18 november 2013) tillverkare Jed Whedon hade detta att säga om Coulsons uppståndelse:
We know that there's going to be a lot of theories and there's no chance that whatever we reveal won't, at some point, be written on the internet. We're just trying to come up with ways to make it surprising or make it not how they expected it to unravel.
We know what it is, but we know that no one else does yet.
Den sista meningen är intressant, eftersom det innebär att de mest populära teorierna, som Jed Whedon måste vara medveten om, är förmodligen fel.
