: Re: What makes for a successful resurrection? If you've seen Avengers: Infinity War, you'll recall the line "No resurrections this time" being said in the scene just after the first (arguably second)

Some great answers here, especially the one from @Galastel .

My additional advice: a resurrected character should be substantially and irreversibly changed. This change can be positive (Jesus, Gandalf), or negative (Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones resurrections), or a maybe a little of both (undead). If death remains a process with some weight and impact, it can retain some of its narrative and dramatic value. If it's simply a reversal, the arrow of time has lost its direction and nothing in your story matters anymore.

You can also use the common tool of making the resurrection costly or difficult (a death for a life, a rescue from hades).
