X-Men 97 Gambit Death Resurrection Questioned

X-Men '97 just pulled off a massive revelation: Gambit, who died in a heroic sacrifice last season, is coming back as one of Apocalypse's horsemen. The Danger Room storyline set up Charles Xavier and Polaris facing existential threats, and Gambit's tragic end felt genuinely permanent. But bringing him back immediately raises questions about whether the show's willing to let major character deaths actually stick. It's the kind of move that could feel like character development or like a step backward, depending on how the writers handle the resurrection narrative.
