Removed - it is not clear how this is an example:
  • Warrior Cats has Starclan, which is basically cat Heaven, so basically, when you die, you go there and you basically watch the living forever. By the fourth series, death became so cheap that the authors had to create a second death.

Well, Starclan grants each of the Clan leaders nine lives allowing them to revive after being killed.

Just like Anyone Can Die is praised, this Trope is the opposite, it's full of bitter words.

I hate Genre Savvy fans, they force fiction creators to work with them and don't care that NOT EVERYONE picks apart the things that are supposed to be there to entertain them.

How many of these are actual Unexplained Recoveries? I'm not familiar with all the Pokémon movies, but I know in the first, tears brought him back from being a stone.

Shouldn't the quote be changed to reflect the page image more?

Removed (duplicate):
  • Order Of The Stick lampshades the fact that the characters have no real fear of death or injury as long as a cleric is nearby. The trope then gets subverted; Everyone knows the character can be revived, but when the party is split up and the corpse is lost this process becomes much more difficult than they anticipated.

some caption text

I was considering using this picture from Supor Stupor as the trope picture. It is the last panel from the comic found at http://www.superstupor.com/sust05192008.shtml

Text: Generic superhero: I don't have to spend all eternity around you, do I? Grim Reaper: You kidding?! You costumed freaks come back from the death so often I don't even get to count you towards my quota.

I think the last page by itself perfectly illustrates the trope, and is still quite funny on its own. Anyone disagrees?

Let's see...two translucent figures, one of which is an obvious Grim Reaper, and they're clearly talking about the trope.

By contrast, the current picture is generic Anime faces discussing the trope indirectly through a meme whilst inaccurately giving the impression this is a Japan-only trope.

...Yeah, when you've got a comparison this obvious, there really shouldn't be any question who gets to be the page picture.
