Noticing a pattern. Good resurrection: Well thought out story reasons. Bad resurrection: Most often a business decision.
I'm old enough to remember when the saying use to go "No one stays dead in comics except Bucky"..:)

Why on earth would you ever need a justification to resurrect a character called "the phoenix"? It's literally one of the only things we know about that creature, it dies and comes back.

The first credit to the "Bucky resurrection as villain idea" goes to Jim Starlin in a short-lived Fighting American series, but the story was never finished and the idea deserved to be developed and lead to a very memorable series.

Oh its worse than that. Apparently he was destined to destroy some alien villain's home world. Naturally the thing to do his bring him back from the dead after his heroic death (or suicide, depending on your interpretation of the story). Seriously, if they villain hadn't decided to clone Colossus then he'd be perfectly fine. It's even worse because Morrison wanted to bring Colossus back but was told he couldn't because at the time Marvel was trying to claim "dead is dead". Then they green light one of the worst resurections ever because they wanted to make Whedon happy. Speaking of Morrison, kinda surprised Magneto/Xorn didn't make the worst list. First Magneto "dies". Then we find out Magneto was impersonating Xorn. Then Magneto dies. Then Chuck Austen comes along and we find out that the second Magneto was Xorn pretending to be Magneto while pretending to be a different Xorn (yes, there are two of them now). Meanwhile the real Magneto was perfectly fine... somehow.

Rekindle interest... Johnny Storm... Nice one.
6:38 The actress that portrays Elektra in Netflix’ Marvel’s “Daredevil” season 2 and “The Defenders” is excellent for the role!
Good list.
Bringing back a character ( Captain America) 20 years later in the real world. That's pretty boss.
Terrible lazy resurection, War machine
Also that Jean Grey in a Cocoon thing doesn't make any sense. If we went with that storyline it would mean that the phoenix force impersonating Jean struggled to fight itself and then killed itself in order to not be taken over by itself again.

I have to agree on the resurrection of Colossus and Bucky Barnes, the first came out of no were but the dialogue surrounding it all made sense, and Bucky was just a great way of getting under Caps skin and still believable in comic book terms.
GREAT VID GUYS¡¡¡¡¡
My favorite death and return is superman. I think it's the best, i love it. It gave us new characters like steel and superboy; and it turned Hal Jordan into a villain. I'm curious about your opinion, do you think it was a good one or bad one?
2000 year is our savor
Actually, in one of Frank Miller’s final issues, it was shown that Elektra was in fact still alive so she was resurrected a while before the story you put on this list.
I think you got the lists mixed up. Aunt May and Bucky are the only ones you're right about (well, obviously bringing Cap back was a great call but the way they did it was pure Silver Age silly and it was technically more retcon than resurection since we didn't know he was supposed to be dead before that).
