You're right, there's definitely a strong style to how Whedon deaths happen. I liked Coulson's better than, say, Wash in Firefly, but there's definitely stylistic carryover and if one doesn't work for you the others probably won't either. Fury using Coulson's death to try tying a fracturing group together seems like an interesting move on the surface because it's easier to care about someone you know dying than a vague "people out there are in trouble." It is kind of hamfisted though, especially since Cap's faced comrades dying and moved on before, and Tony's whole motive in heroing has been acting out of a sense of responsibility for people getting hurt.
I guess I just don't trust that if Coulson is alive in the TV show, they wouldn't put him in a movie somehow for a drama point about "omg how could Fury manipulate us like that?"
