Really?<br>Might as well bash Peter Pan where they're all yelling 'I DO believe in fairies! I do! I do!' to bring Tinkerbell back to life... although it's such a hilarious Gay pride refrain.

Secondly, they both describe situations where a character starts out alive, continues to live and then later is shown to still be alive... when did the resurrection part come in? Doesn't one have to die first before they can come back to life? as for clones and twin brothers, these are new characters who have no bearing on the life/death status of another character... they are not the same character returned from the grave. Maybe you are confused because the same actor is utilized to play the new character... but according to that logic, all characters played by a single actor throughout his/her career are resurrections of previous characters... like, Ted from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure lives a long happy life, eventually grows old and dies, then a hundred or so years later, he is resurrected as a guy named Neo, who dies to free mankind, but is then resurrected as Constantine in an alternate universe... very silly. The heretofore unknown twin and clone concepts are preposterous, but they have nothing to do with a dead character coming back to life. and as such deserve no place on this list (certainly not the number one spot.) It's like saying, "the most preposterous way for a character to be resurrected is for a guy to get superpowers from a radioactive spider!" a preposterous movie situation to be sure, but not one involving resurrection. first off, #8 and #4 are the same concept.
