like really?
Pit outright says that he's died before and he just comes back. He's just an angel, not even a god.
not to mention hades commands the god of death himself
not exactly too hard to bring back.
I don't deny that he CAN come back but the series has always shifted main antagonists so far (Medusa, Orcos, and Hades in the 3 games, though OMAM might be not considered canon at this time) and Sakurai's other games tend to have new villains emerging too. I can think that Ares would be a suitable replacement for Hades, given that Ares has an antagonistic relationship with Athena (Palutena), and could probably take over the Underworld Army for his own gain.
I just don't think the series is going to be stuck in a loop of "Gotta beat
Hades" like other series have done. He might become a "surprise" End boss or might
be like Medusa and not be the main antagonist.
But of course, this is all conjecture, but I would like to see
some other Gods make an appearance in the next game (If there is a next game within the next generation or so).
