pull a Coulson

Alternatively, 'pull a Phil Coulson' or 'pull an Agent Coulson'. Used to describe any instance where a fandom brings a favorite character back to life through the power of sheer denial. The term originated with the Avengers fandom, where the strength of the fandom's ubiquitous rejection of Agent Coulson's death was enough to resurrect him for the new show 'Agents of SHIELD'.
Fan 1: Hey, look! They're bringing (fan favorite but unfortunately deceased character) back!
Fan 2: Yeah, I guess the fandom denied their death so hard we pulled a Coulson!

or

Fan 1: Oh my god, I can't believe they killed off (fan favorite but recently deceased character)!
Fan 2: Don't worry - if we all ignore their death hard enough, maybe we can pull a Coulson and bring them back!

Pull a "How I Met Your Mother"

Verb; meaning to build up storylines in a work of fiction and lull people into believing that there is a safe, happy ending for all coming - until the finale, when the authors write an ending that is shocking, painful, and undoes every bit of character development and growth that had occurred within the entirety of that work of fiction.
I don't know why we're all still following Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice And Fire. You know damn well GRRM's going to Pull A "How I Met Your Mother" and completely fuck everybody over.
