Imaginary kills count. Fair enough; but why do characters who do not stay dead (ala zombie films in particular) not count under the thinking 'its the same character'?
These two things seem blatantly contradicting. In the case of an imaginary death, the character is not actually dead at all. Yet a dies-and-comes-back character does not count since he did not stay dead. This is especially egregious in zombie films whereas it is explicitly made clear that the deceased is no longer the same person; destroying the 'same character' argument.
I am not asking the rules to be changed - just voicing my opinion on the matter.
Related to this issue; what about a movie where a corpse is reanimated - but the corpse is still dead? Such as telekinesis being used on a corpse or a corpse being implanted with machinery to move about? Dunno if this has ever happened in a film before; but it could be an issue.
