This might be a good thing. Some things become better once they're dead.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
They struck him down. He became more powerful than they could possibly imagine. In fairness, he did warn them.
The late pro wrestler Eddie Guerrero
Latino Heat was a much better wrestler after he died. He was worthy of the Hall Of Fame a few months after his death ; he definitely wasn't worthy of it before.
Arnold J. Rimmer
Fans of Red Dwarf will recall that while a spineless loser in life, 2nd tech Rimmer achieved feats of cunning and even heroism long after his death that he never would have managed while he was alive. LONG, long after. About 3 million years after.
The Lamborghini Diablo
Let's be honest ; you want one way more today than you did while they were being made.
Tupac
Dude made a nuclear megaton of cash and continued knocking out albums for years after his death. Far more prolific a recording artist than when he was alive, death was an awesome career move for him.
Optimus Prime
Between cartoons, comics and Bay movies, this motherfucker has died at least a dozen times, and always comes back stronger than before. In fact he often didn't even have to come back fully to kick ass. In Dark Awakening he kicked shit out of a big group of 'cons and sent them into retreat, then nearly killed Rodimus, despite still being dead. Then he flew his ship straight into a supernova without even flinching, because he was hard as nails. And he still came back.
Who knows..... maybe dead FreeOnes will be an improvement on FreeOnes when it was alive.
