Trinity dies and comes back so much she might as well be Mothra.

The "character dies, comes back, then dies again" trope is one I really hate. I can't possibly give a shit about a character when that happens. "Ahhh I'm dying again, be sad plz" nah.

They did the same thing in Blade 2 and 3 with Whistler.

I will be honest, I'm rarely a fan of protagonists and for whatever reason my favorite characters frequently end up getting killed. I guess I identify with the type people always want to kill off lol

So I appreciate a good resurrection of my favorite characters, but yeah only to kill them off again is absolutely bullshit and a waste of our time bringing them back in the first place.
