Why does that matter? The last thing they should do is follow the comics they are based off of word for word. That would demean the impact of the stories and be inconsistent with the MCU at large, which has followed comic book stories fairly closely but not even remotely close to straight-up adaptations.

Bringing some of them back is fine. It's a massive cop-out if they bring everyone back and allow everyone still alive as of now to stay that way by the end of Avengers 4. Just copy and pasting the ending of the IW comic series is the least creative and interesting thing they could do here. Also, the first half hasn't followed the comic series much at all, so why would they start now with A4?

But pretty much every comic book superhero who has been killed comes back sometime.

What does it matter?
They aren't real.

Why play at it?

Because it's what they've been doing. They've been hinting at deaths and the departure of certain characters for a long time. Then IW went for shock value by killing off a bunch of characters. They can't walk all of that back now.

You also have to look at it from a practical standpoint. Comic books can add and drop characters whenever and wherever they want. Movies need actors and actors need money. Marvel isn't going to pay for a bunch of new contracts just so someone that died in an earlier movie can come back. Maybe one or two, but not all of them.
