Bring back Emet-Selch

[LyrisFrost]

If you want to see more of Emet-Selch (Hades), whether it be in past, present, or future, reply “yes” and/or “like” this thread!!

[Dikatis]

Nope. He's bowed out and for good reason. Let the old man rest.

[Kranel_San]

Keep the dead characters dead for real.

[Enkidoh]

Well, I guess it's theoretically possible he could come back (I mean,

he's already returned twice following his defeat, both times thanks to the Azem crystal, and with Elidibus's time portal in the Crystal Tower on the First back to the Unsundered World being apparently stable, anything's possible).

But he's finally let go of his baggage and allowed himself to return to the Star, so let Mr Grumpy finally have his rest, no longer burdened by the weight of carrying the Ancients' legacy on his shoulders. (And that image at the end of the Flow music video was pretty telling, having him and Hyth laying in the Lifestream around Venat/Hydealyn with other now posthumous characters such as Minfilia and Papalymo).

He's passed on his legacy to the Warrior of Light, the posessor of the soul of his old friend, let the old man rest.

Emet-Selch has only been diminished in each of his post death apparitions.

And then 8UC Emet-selch comes jumping off the top turnbuckle of the First's Crystal Tower's basement wrestling arena!

[Cilia]

Nah, he's been dead and brought back again (narratively) like 3 times. Let him stay that way, especially if the story moving forward is going to have less to do with the Ancients.

And then 8UC Emet-selch comes jumping off the top turnbuckle of the First's Crystal Tower's basement wrestling arena!

Here comes Venat with a steel chair!

I mean I love the man, but no he deserves his retirement rest and to float around the Aetherial Sea with Hythlodaeus for as long as he wants to. The man did his time and then some.

Hades as he was? I wouldn’t hate more time travel or a memory dive scenario kinda thing that shows us more Unsundered World and Team Azem hijinks.

Resurrecting him as Hades in present day? No.

Reincarnating him and us meeting that person? I think that’s highly possible and I’d probably like that. It also seems implied that at least Elidibus is going that route eventually with Pandemonium’s post credit scene, imo. Hades and Hyth following suit would make sense.

Tho Hades does make a big point of “wanting a sound rest”, with time dilation between shards and this void storyline with zeromus possibly lending itself to the barriers btwn the shards’ lifestreams being broken down more, I think it’s very possible to bring in the unsundered ancients’ reincarnations into the storyline while still letting him have his “rest”. Just wouldn’t think it would happen till way down the line. Like 9.0 at the earliest.

Na....they probably won't come back anytime soon and if they do, will be just subtle references...perhaps a child with weird talents like they did with ShB ending and Ardbert.
