I do want Jonas back but I feel like the mechanics of bringing vin back would be more complicated—vision tried to bring back viv and it went awry, if vin came back there would be no real reason not to bring Virginia back and I can’t see that happening.
If they do ever bring vin back I kind of feel like he should be more or less a civilian (he didn’t strike me as the superhero type). I think he should be viv’s younger brother now (I imagine Viv was designed to age and I really want them to address twins becoming different ages by virtue of one being dead for a substantial amount of time since it happens so often)
I do desperately want to see Viv’s interactions with jonas and her living brothers (Billy and Tommy were officially classed as such in her pride data page which is great but can we see that?) maybe a reconciliation with Victor
Yeah, I mean, Vin and Virginia's deaths have more narrative importance. They were probably always intended to die, and their continued absence is necessary to maintain a certain status quo with those characters who survived them-- especially Virginia's. Compare that to Cassie and Jonas dying at the end of CC-- the emotional fallout got solved pretty quickly, and Cassie was back in less than two years. Jonas's continued absence doesn't actually serve any purpose, and it's been a decade. I figure, next time there's any kind of Young Avengers story, there's not reason not to bring him back.
I'm not trying to litigate the choices that Tom King made with Vision, because that would be a much longer conversation, but I understand why, in the context of that book, it was necessary for some characters to die. That said... Victor is already back, and neither Viv nor her father are in the same dire positions that King left them in, so I think you could get away with, you know, easing up on the tragedy a little. I don't know, in general I do think that more deaths should be permanent, and stories need to have longer lasting consequences, but Vision was just really grim and punishing, and I just really want Viv to be happy.
It's a little unclear, but Cassie and Kristoff Vernhard may or may not have recovered Jonas's AI from Iron Lad at the end of Oliveira's run on Voices Infinity. Theoretically, he is back, he just needs a new body-- he's saved in that little gauntlet Kristoff is wearing ^
