The thing is Psylocke's death shouldn't have been meaningless.. because it wasn't supposed to stick. Claremont planned on bringing her back just a few issues later, but Marvel had a strict policy against it at the time. The character to break that trend? Colossus. The author? Joss Whedon, the only man who can defy Marvel apparently. And not too longer later, Claremont brought back Psylocke, so not tooo bad.
