TBF, it was almost 3 years before Fury turned up alive. I also fondly remember the death of Captain America in that regard given that pretty much every single other character in that storyline had all had their own Nope They Are Really Dead No Takebacks stories already which really highlighted how impermanent it was going be.

It was pretty good when they killed Banshee and his daughter is just like "no, he's absolutely coming back." And he actually stayed dead for quite a while. I can't remember if he came back before Krakoa.

I guess it would still be an excuse to get together and share memories and eat food. The most recent season of Curb Your Enthusiasm had an episode in which someone throws a living funeral for themselves and while it was played off as kind of a pathetic attention-seeking thing I thought it kind of made sense for a superhero universe. People still want a little catharsis and closure. I'm also reminded of the subplot in Peter David's X-Factor in which Siryn was just completely unbothered by her dad getting obliterated by a plane flying into him because she was like, "oh you know, he's probably living undercover, or it was a clone, or whatever, he'll be back in a little bit."

I can't remember if he came back before Krakoa. Oh you posted this while I was writing so I didn't see it, sorry. The answer is kind of. He came back as a stupid zombie in Uncanny Avengers and just spent some time in pretty bad comics lurching around being undead.

Skwirl posted:Kurt was dead for quite a while and the X-Men had to go to literal heaven to get him back. They went to literal hell to get him back. He was in heaven in the first place, then Azazel showed up to taunt him about some poo poo he was up to, then bamfed back out. Then Kurt went "Well, that just happened!" and jumped down from heaven into hell to stop whatever Azazel was doing. My favorite funeral was for Martian Manhunter because Superman said word for word "Let us pray for a resurrection". I hadn't even known J'onn had died, I just looked up what was happening with him. Then I checked on Nightcrawler. Then I checked on the Question. That was an extremely annoying chain of Google searches. Shot, telefragged, lung cancer.

I love when comics go into weird derails which lead to great thought experiments. Like in Kevin Smith's run on Green Arrow, one of Hal Jordon's last acts was to being Green Arrow back from the dead. Only he was like how Hal remembered Ollie from their glory days. Younger and with memories up to about their Road Trip time. And eventually you discover why, which is Green Arrow's soul was in Heaven. So two distinct and different Oliver Queens in existence at once. In the end old Ollie leaves Heaven and merges with the other Ollie to save his life, but it was an interesting idea. It did lead me to wonder, would Marvel Hell have a chamber in it filled with all the different iterations of the Red Skull who have died but due to cloning/mind copies/ cosmic cube trickery were all distinct entities.

Maybe at one point, but I guarantee Strong Guy just squashed them all together into one dumb nazi to save on torture expenses.

The Question IRL posted:I love when comics go into weird derails which lead to great thought experiments. That reminds me of something that bugged me about the previous season of Legends of Tomorrow where the main bad guy kills a character and replaces them with a clone with all their memories. Nobody ever brought up the whole "soul" thing despite this happening to a character who had died before and there was a story arc about getting their soul back.

I think that's his point. Darkseid is evil but there's a consistency to his evil - it's derived from a set of internal beliefs and motivations about the worthlessness of life and chairs; whereas Lobo can be good but there's no rhyme or reason to his actions, it's pure chaos, and he's just as likely to destroy your armchair as help defeat an interstellar threat.
