killing key characters not good for series?
Kai’s story ended well. At least it wasn’t sudden. We had been expecting something like this for a while.
There is also the reality factor. MM is getting older but his character, Kai, doesn’t age. Sure, you could bring him back to life and he would age normally… but he just wouldn’t be Kai. It would be the same as adding a new character to the show that the fans demand and not one dreamed up by the writers. Expectation would be set that wouldn’t be met. It just wouldn’t make any sense.
