Paul Walker died cause him and his friend were speeding and street racing. Similar to Ryan Dunn who died drunk driving. I think it's been long enough to call them out and remind people they didn't die as heroes, they died being idiots and luckily didn't kill a bunch of innocent people with them

Plus the fast and the furious movies only got good after they drove him off into the sunset

The thing with Robin is that, regardless of his mental health, he would've been the type of person to curse the choice of bringing someone back to be wasted on him.

While it is commonly believed he took his life due to a constant battle with depression, we do not know exactly what his resolve was, and bringing him back could be seen as hell in his eyes.

It wasn't depression. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.

He allegedly took his life so he wouldn't slowly lose himself, and become a burden on his family.

Parkinson's, actually. They corrected it to LBD during his autopsy.

Apparently him and his wife weren't satisfied with the Parkinson's diagnosis as he had some abnormal psychological issues, so they decided to have some neurology tests scheduled. He unfortunately took his life before the appointment, so he never knew the real diagnosis.

No offence to Robin Williams, but I think having a living specimen of an ancient species who lived millions of years ago might help scientists advance evolutionary biology by a lot

Or maybe not, but look at that little guy, he's so cute :D

Fuck that dumb ocean centipede. Robin Williams is worth 20 ocean centipedes easy

32

Yeah. I dunno. They look like that weird alien parasite from TNG that tried to take over star fleet while eating bugs.

That specimen might also die really quickly considering it's a whole different world, not even the atmosphere is similar, and without more of it's species to multiply I would say it would be really cool to see but not super helpful to study

Robin Williams, but he comes back fully cured of everything and he gets to live a full life happy.

I'm not sure I want Williams to see the Trump era of America. I think it might have killed him again.

44

If resurrection heals the maladies he was suffering from, Robin would absolutely hate Trump and use that energy to put out at least 2 more non-cocaine fueled comedy specials, and passibly one that was cocaine or extacy fueled.

He wouldn't commit suicide again if all his personal memory/physical problems weren't an issue. If he hadn't had LBD, he would have become the second Grandpa of Comedy, succeeding Carlin.

5

He didn't kill himself. He said many times that he would eventually commit suicide to prevent himself from developing terminal illnesses, but he always clarified that he wouldn't even consider it if he still had work to do, aka his personal projects. He had two personal projects in the works when he was killed. He just knew too much and was way too vocal about it.

Robin Williams had a degenerative nerve disease, bringing him back as he was would be cruel.

Bringing him back healed, or young and healed? I'd let you hunt some species to extinction for that.

And that choice is Robin Williams. The man was a gem 🥲

I normally don't care when celebrities pass away. But I genuinely cried when Robin Williams died. And I'm still sad about it.

21

I was on the set of Sea of Trees with Gus Van Sant when the news broke. Needless to say, we wrapped suddenly the moment the news broke.

12

If Mr. Williams was unhappy I would not bring him back to this world we have now.

I would want to make heaven on earth before I woke anyone ... except my pets.

I was hoping one of them would be Steve Irwin... 🙁

Gonna be honest, I only vaguely recognise the name Patrick Swayze without knowing exactly what he's famous for. An actor, I think? And I have zero idea who Paul Walker is. Anomalocarus I gather from context is an extinct animal of some sort, which is cool, but I lack the knowledge to know precisely why this specific species is highly valuable.

So Robin Williams gets my vote almost by default, even if I didn't have more reason to choose him beyond that.

Great, now I see priests and quire boys doing pottery class tigether in church under the guidance of Unchained Melody on the organ.

I shall read now from the Book of Dalton: Chapter Three, Verse Four...

"Be nice. Until it's time... to not be nice."

When I say I don't care about celebrities that includes the "good" ones. Weird centipede thing 100%.

I have a shrine to Paul Walker in my basement. (Not a joke.)

Edit: can't find a better pic in a timely manner and I'm in bed.

Only during events, but yes. Well, one saint candle thingy and the others are just lights. See edit.

I want Swayze to come back and dance fight his way into America's hearts again.

I'll give him a select list of hearts I want him to dance-fight his way through.

Subtitle A: "The dancing just went from 'dirty' to 'deadly'."

Subtitle B: "Watch out, he's changed his shoes."

Would Anomalocaris actually do well in the modern world. I feel like they probably wouldn't do so well in the modern ecosystems of much more evolved marine creatures. Would get out-competed very quickly, and likely face plenty of other challenges. Being out-competed is likely the reason they went extinct in the first place.
