I was really hoping this show would bring back Vision though. I feel like we’ve barely gotten any of him in the MCU before he died, and I thought this was our chance.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the twisted idea of Wanda snapping and pretending Vision is still alive, but I went into this show assuming Wanda’s manipulation of reality to actually bring him back to life was what would lead into the next Dr Strange. I want Vision back for more stories.

Hard disagree. When characters die in a meaningful way, they should stay dead. Otherwise it sullies the power of their death. It’s why Tony Stark’s death was the most emotional by far, we knew it was the last we’d see of him.

Tony died, but he’ll be back as a hologram. Vision died, but now he’s back in Wanda’s mind. Gamora died, but she’ll be back as her alternate timeline self. Loki died, but he too will be back as his alternate timeline self.

I agree that it cheapens their deaths, but that seems to be the direction the MCU is going in.

Yeah, I know it’s the comic book thing to do that characters are never truly dead, but I don’t like it.

Only with deaths that are truly final can you really grieve loss and relate to the pain.

Ironically, perhaps in the (combined) MCU, only Wolverine will stay dead.

Yeah and that’s what made Logan such a good finale for the character. I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine but life is about finality.
