RE: Thought Bubble Thursdays #5 - Nobody Stays Dead in the Comics
I think in a few circumstances some sort of resurrection makes sense; but I think it is far and few between and I would much rather the character stay dead. It isn't like we won't still have comics or whatever from that character, they can essentially reboot the franchise with the same hero but a new story. For instance, once the first MCU arc actually comes to a close and RDJ is done with Iron Man, they are going to make new Iron Man movies, just with a different actor and new stories. In general I always feel permanent death of characters brings much more emotional weight to a story and I think that is almost always a good thing.
When that eventually happens, I do wish that they use a different character instead of recasting the role of Tony Stark. Retire him when RDJ retires. That's something that I'm actually currently writing for tomorrow's episode, so way to get ahead of it, brother! For DC though, I'm almost certain they're going to be recasting a lot of characters after their Flashpoint movie. It feels like they plan to reboot their whole universe and start from the ground up.
With all of the fantastic elements in their world, I think death is what tethers them and connects them with our reality. It's the most "human" thing that they could do, so removing that from the equation almost detaches their reality from ours completely.
