    It’s really clear with that movie that the original ending was for the guy to stay dead. The movie chickens out and loses its real pathos by letting him both sacrifice himself and still get to be alive again.

        That’s one of my hyperfixations, so yes, if you follow my account you will see reviews of the Bible frequently.

        (And yeah, Jesus stayed dead. He was a messianic figure who was supposed to topple the Roman occupiers, died, and then the early Jewish Christian community cope gradually became that he came back to life. Him staying dead didn’t work well with test audiences, in other words.)

        Elfen Lied, that weird mediocre anime/manga that got popular in the midnaughts for being a horny gore fest does it constantly, at least once an issue.

        Oh, you watched this guy get hacked apart limb from limb? Don’t worry, he’ll be back next issue to form a relationship with a girl half his age.
