Has there ever been a story, to your recollection, where a character died and the characters just assumed they'd be back eventually?

On occasion a writer will do this sort of a scene. And I hate it every time it comes up.

I hate it because it’s not genuine, it’s all about playing to the cheap seats, to the long-time readers who understand the tropes of comics, and pointing out that the characters are just lines on paper. They think they’re being clever, but all they’re really doing is stepping on any genuine human drama that exists within this situation, and killing the verisimilitude. Real people do not behave in this manner.

It’s junk writing.

Yes! They just done that with scarlet witch! And it was bs :(
