Do you think Guardians being able to revive takes away some of the impact of their death?

Yes

I'm mean from a Story perspective. I don't know why but this has always bothered me. Don't get me wrong, Guardians are super cool but when you know that even if they die they'll just come back makes them feel a little less cool in my eyes. I feel like it takes away the sense of danger when they fight. When a guardian dies permanently I'm just thinking to myself "How did you, an immortal, manage to -blam!- up so badly to the point where you died permanently?". I'm not saying you won't get the feels from their death, I'm just saying that having their ghost be able to revive them in most situation dulls their death a bit. Do give your reasoning for you choice. I would love to see some other perspective on this topic :) Edit: It seems most of you disagree, and provide some very interesting points. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

  • Death to a guardian must be like when Dr. Strange was on a time loop with Dormammu, (Recent Movie) dying in different ways, but still coming back with a corrected time frame and perspective of the outcome. Imho, if a guardian was already dead, why should he even care to fight for a cause that will not benefit the dead(which we already "were)? After everything is all set and done, the Traveler will awake and we'll all end in the same place Ghost found us in; a fish tank. If you think about it, guardian's are nothing more but fourth dimensional projections of their own cognitive existence(That's why guardians need a certain ghost to survive. The light, is the power source, and the guardian is a program of ghost). In the first mission there is somewhat evidence of this. Ghost dissolving us to enter the ship by the old hanger is one, then when ghost saves us from getting blown to bits by Oryx when we try and infiltrate the Dreadnaut is another. I don't think Guardians care to much if they live or die. They have nothing to lose..
