    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.

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

    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

      Whoever downvoted you, has never seen actual Robin Williams Standup or knows much about his political views.

      Robin hated Bush Sr. and Jr., especially Jr., with a passion.

      trump would send him off the deep end, as you suggested.

      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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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 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.

        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.”

    As much as I would love for Robin Williams to be back and brightening the world again it would be incredibly selfish of us to forget that he was incredibly unhappy in life and killed himself in a very unpleasant way because of it.

    So definitely the centipede.
