Not just a specific scene, or episode, but characters repeatedly surviving when they shouldn’t.

    The bringing back wasn’t the problem, it’s what they did with them once they were back. It should mean something, and not dull down the character.

      Yeah in a land of magic and drangons and stuff, it could’ve even be cool. He could come back wrong or corrupted or whatever. But it was just fan service. They didn’t even know what to do with him. They didn’t even bring him back to kill frozone

        It is just up until that point, any form of danger or any combat was a real threat. To any character. Nobody was really / obviously plot protected at that point which created a lot of the tension and engagement for me. That all was lost once ppl. were no-longer permanently dead. Any danger thereafter would never feel the same. It got worse once it was super clear who is the main character.

        Side note: Didn’t the author criticise LotR for bringing Gandalf back? The audacity ಠ_ಠ
