->Watch these movies catch up to one of comics’ longest running traditions: briefly killing people off to goose sales; where with the single snap of the fingers, Disney erased the box-office potential of [[spoiler: Black Panther, Spider-Man 5/7ths of the Guardians, Doctor Strange, the Winter Soldier, and one third of the Avengers.]] And if you think these deaths are gonna stick for longer than a movie, I’ve got a copy of ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'' to sell you. I mean it’s still in the original bag, mint condition, with the arm band too! Come on, no one?

->So some of you may be wondering, especially in light of everything I've talked about with these events this year: why do I even care when heroes get killed? Why do I get passionate about [[HeelFaceTurn heroes that are turned evil]]? Won't it just get undone? Won't they be heroic again? Won't the dead just rise again?

->Well, here's the thing: [[SubvertedTrope Danny Chase is still dead]].

->Oh, don't you remember him? He was the telekinetic kid in the ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans New Teen Titans]]''. [[TheScrappy Abrasive little brat. Got on the fans', and his fellow team members', nerves.]] He's my favourite super-hero of all time. He died in 1992, and aside from being turned into a zombie minion once or twice, he has not come back to life in 28 years.

->My point, in case it is not clear: sometimes they ''don't'' come back. And if they do, it's only because people ''demand'' they come back. And sometimes people are turned evil, and it lasts a ''looong'' time, unless people demand it be changed. I joke about this stuff because death only seems to matter [[CListFodder if nobody in charge cares about them]]. And in that case... it doesn't matter.

->Will [[Characters/GreenArrow Roy Harper]] be back? Probably; I'd say he has enough fans in charge. But Hotspot? Gnarrk? Lagoon Boy? Probably not.

->That's why I care when [[Creator/DCComics DC]] and [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] kill their characters... [[WhamLine because they don't]].
