You implied that if I liked the re-imagining of a movie villain into the main continuity, idea I disliked, I shouldn't despise the idea of rehashing dead villains. I hate both ideas. The hypothetical writing has nothing to do, the concept of rehashing is what I dislike, even if it ends up being a pretty decent product, use that quality writing on some other concept so we don't have 5 stories with the same 3 villains.
You keep thinking that the writers have the mental faculties to work only on one character at a time... nothing's stopping them from making up 10 new villains while bringing Zamasu back too, which is what the Heroes team did.
3) None of that matters, did Freeza die on Namek? no, he got yet another break. What does this have to do with being sick of rehashing old villains, beats me...
Following your logic then Zamasu isn't dead either... Zamasu in the Cell timeline is still alive, the Immortal Zamasu in the new Future timeline is also still alive... so following that logic then it wouldn't be "rehashing of dead villains" either.
4) They don't have to rehash former conflicts, they don't have to rehash anything, specially characters, because we have plenty of living characters with new places to go. Literally a multiverse of greener pastures.
They can do that even if Zamasu came back, your argument really makes no sense and is full of holes, especially since we see from Heroes that Zamasu coming back didn't hurt the story potential of Jiren, Hit, etc. In fact it boosted it. Since Jiren got to look cool while punching Zamasu in the face, while Hit got to do something against him.
5) The threat Hearts posed was already established when Jiren was subdued effortlessly. Remove that scene with Zamasu, and Hearts is still as dangerous as ever. He can erase/teleport Zamasu but not use that against Gogeta, hmm.
The message of the writers was clear. The "Ultimate Godslayer" first act was erasing an Immortal God, there's nothing hard to understand. Zamasu was literally killed to make Hearts look cool, it doesn't matter if he already looked cool once before, it doesn't change the writers' intent.
6) My fear of Zamasu taking the spotlight?? lol what??
That's literally been your only argument since the beginning... "I don't want him to come back, there are more people deserving of attention! He'd just steal attention that other people deserve more!" -> Literally your argument since the start.
being there just to hype it's exactly what I don't want, a fan-service-y revival just for the sake of it, just to hype someone else. For that, better use one of the current, much stronger, and alive characters available.
Ah Yes, that's exactly what fans of the character want, to see him fodderized. I honestly loved it when Hearts erased him in one second, it felt so rewarding. Also why do you want the living characters to serve as sacrificial lambs? I thought you liked their potential, why do you want to see them fodderized to serve someone else's hype?
Also let's stop talking about power levels please, they mean jackshit in the discussion of the story. If Zamasu came back he'd be UI level at least, talking about power levels is meaningless when we have Frieza literally going from ant level to God level in 4 months.
7) See, because they are ALIVE, they don't necessarily need to remain in the dust when they come back, because Broly can train, Jiren can train, Hit can improve, Kale can improve...
I meant "left in the dust" from a story perspective, again I don't care about power levels. If the writers genuinely can't figure out new stories for Hit then maybe he's just not someone who interests them, and that's fine. Not all characters will receive attention and spotlight, it's pointless to try and make it so.
