On one hand, Marvel isn't fond of their reputation of characters not staying dead, which, unfounded as it may be, is often held against them. On the other hand, Pietro proved to be a popular character, and his resurrection would provide some fascinating stories to tell.

So what's your take? Should Pietro get a second chance at super-heroics, or should he stay dead?
 
I would prefer Ronan to come back personally, huge waste of potential leaving him dead. But then again QS is strongly linked to the Inhumans seeing as he was married to Crystal so he also has a big role to play. Bigger fan of Ronan though myself, the guy has been leader of his whole race for crying out load, he is too important to keep dead.
 
Phase 5. House of M. Wanda bends time and reality to bring Pietro back, at the same time rebooting the rest of MCU, allowing Marvel to recast half of characters.
 
I predict Wanda will be the one to resurrect him in Dr. Strange should she be included in the film. If not there then Part 1 of The Infinity War
 
I think he needs to stay dead otherwise death has no meaning within the MCU universe and there's no stakes or real sense of threat. They've already brought back Coulson, don't think they really need to do that again.

Leave him.

Bring him back. His death was a waste and he can be put to good use in an Inhumans movie.

Besides Coulson,there really isn't this glut of resurrections in the MCU that people seem to believe.

So, the deaths Frigga, Urich, Wesley, & Owlsley Sr. have no meaning?

I'll wait for you explanation
 
the movie itself ruined the sacrifice by making his death seem so inconsequential and having scarlet witch move on so quickly

bring him back

3 of those deaths are from Daredevil which isn't a movie series, and 2 of those 3 deaths are from villains.

They faked out Bucky, Fury, Pepper, and Loki (twice). This will causes people to simply not care about deaths even if it is for real.

The "Fake Out" death is not the same as a resurrection/retcon/mulligan. No matter how many times people want to bring up that same list of names,it still isn't the same thing.

Bucky was fulfilling his comic book destiny. Ain't nobody that didn't see that coming.

Fury "dies" twice a week in the comics.Nothing unusual there. Oh look,he just "died" again while I was talking.

The Pepper "death" lasted about 6 minutes and I seriously doubt people actually bought it was permanent given how she had powers.(we just saw Killian regrow a hand fer gosh sakes.)

Loki didn't even die "twice" as people love to point out. Once he fell. Really far. We found out he was OK by the end credits.

The "second" time we are actually led to believe he died,but this time we didn't even have to wait for the credits.

The "real" deaths are from Coulson and Quicksilver,where there is no clue in the film--or anywhere-- that this guy will be coming back someday.

Except that even in those cases, the writers included at least some ambiguity, or in Coulson's case, outright evidence that Fury was lying about Coulson's status.

Honestly, I don't buy the "Marvel has to kill people, otherwise they won't be taken seriously!" argument. It seems to be a solution looking for a problem.
 
I'll be honest, if the midcredits scene for Doctor Strange is Stephen meeting up with Wanda and talking about resurrection, I wouldnt be opposed at all. Then we might see him make his return in Inhumans or something? idk.

But I would not like to see the main plot line of the first Doctor Strange be anything related to the twins. Unless it was done REALLY REALLY well.


Or wait... If the midcredits scene for Civil War is Wanda meeting up with Stephen talking about resurrection and then we see them in Doctor Strange looking for some artifact that could manage it... that idea is starting to grow on me. But again, it's to be Strange's origin story. Don't make the movie about the Twins.
 
If they can find a way to resurrect him without it feeling forced then I would love to see more of Pietro, as I enjoyed the MCU version more then the Fox version and I feel like he had a lot of potential in the future MCU. I feel like we didn't really get to know his character enough that the death had as heavy an impact as Avengers was going for, but having said that I DO believe a death of a character was necessary and I'm not sure if there was a character I'd have rather seen die over him. If they do decide to bring him back it should be through bending/changing of reality/time via Thanos, Kang, or Scarlett Witch.
 
As far as I'm concerned its not "should he come back". It's more a question of "When will he be back"?

We saw what happened the last time Marvel Studio's showed their hand with this character and they're not likely to make this mistake again. They're probably tired of Fox being mentioned in the same sentence as Avengers so for the sake of shutting all of that free press down. "Yeah he's dead and he's going to stay dead" (End quote)

FWIW, the argument isn't that people need to be killed to be taken seriously, it's that people who are killed need to stay dead for their deaths to be taken seriously.

If Pietro hadn't died, I think people would probably have been OK with that. But he did die and the question is should that be reversed.

There have been plenty of characters the audience was lead to believe were dead who were revealed to be not dead. Of those, only Coulson was literally brought back from the dead (and, imo, that should be unique). But it's certainly something that's been commented on a lot. While, if the story makes it worth it, they probably could bring him back, but it certainly would raise some eyebrows so I would suggest they really think hard whether it's worthwhile.
 
I feel they have all the setup for bringing him back. The enhanced metabolisim, the Cradle, no memorials or anything to cement the fact that he really is dead. If they think he can benefit the story, they have everything they need to bring him back. Just say he was put into a brain dead state while his powers kept his body barely alive. Stark chose to hide this because he was worried what would happen to Pietro's mind due to a resurrection process and, having learned his lesson from AOU, didn't want to meddle with something he didn't understand.

Makes sense.
 
Keep him dead. I'm not a fan of the decision to kill him off but at least stick to your guns.

Except Stark didn't really give two ****s about the Maximoffs, even when they had their gripes with him in the first place. Why would he care now?
 
Depends on how they approach it. I'm fine with leaving him dead, but if they can find the ideal story(which there's going to be plenty), then I'm open to ideas.
 
Keep him dead. Some MCU deaths just have to stick, or else there will be no narrative weight when somebody else dies or when they want to play the resurrection card for story purposes *cough*Steve*.

What they should've done is had Wanda save him. As soon as he was riddled with bullets Wanda could've used her powers to rip them out, close the wounds and jolt him to life. That would've given everybody a "WTF" moment, showing everybody that QS was noble enough to self-sacrifice but also showing everybody that Wanda was immensely powerful. She could've surprised herself with that.
 
Some deaths should stick but not this one. QS was good in AOU and has the potential to be great in future MCU films.
