I wouldn't have know Coulson was still alive if not for fandom osmosis. I watched a couple of episode of Agents of SHIELD before I walked away, so had no idea he was going to be resurrected or whatever they did for his return. It's also unlikely that I'll watch any other MCU spin-off shows. Tbh, I didn't know about a Loki miniseries or the Falcon/Winter Soldier thing until recently.
I thought his choice was spurred by seeing Peggy during the time travel sequence at the base. I thought it was a combination of seeing Tony happy with a family as well as seeing 1970 era Peggy and her photo of him. In the previous movies I felt they made it clear that he had accepted her death and moved on. It actually bugs me because it doesn't make sense about how Steve choosing to go back and be with Peggy doesn't alter the future events at all. *insert Russo handwavy timeline magic here*
I can't separate Paltrow from the characters she plays, a la Tom Cruise. Well she is rather samey in every performance. That's something else that was less than a stellar moment for me was seeing Pepper show up in in the Rescue Armor. Pepper hated the Iron Man suites and that part of Tony's life (which is another reason why I disliked Pepper and Tony being together), but she's going to be part of the final battle?
