I know we are all upset about what happened to Pops but tbh I found this post on tumblr and it made really good points on how Pops is still alive: http://jgquintel.tumblr.com/post/156086740569/pops

1. J.G. Always Adds Twists - J.G. always puts twists in his episodes. He make it seem like one thing but turn out the complete opposite. Like what he did with Steak Me Amadeus, he made it seem like Mordecai and Margaret get together but they don’t. In “1,0000 Chopper Flight Party” Margaret said she has a boyfriend but in “Not Great Double Date”, she didn’t. Heck in “Local News”, he surprised all of us about Jackie Carmichael who seemed normal.

2. He Always Bring Characters Back - He always bring characters back from the dead. Like the Unicorns, the Capicola Gang, The Geese, GBF, etc. Heck he even brought back all the villains in Exit 9B for a while.

3. Pops is Powerful - Pops is a powerful Energy. He and Anti Pops are both powerful beings that can survive that. Plus they said the fight take place every 14 billions years.

4. It’s a Common Twist - Lots of cartoons and movies always kill of a main character and bring them back to life. Cartoon and movie creators wouldn’t just say they are dead until they change their mind. Like in the Iron Giant, when he sacrificed himself to the rocket and then a few months later he was rebuilding himself in the icy lands. In the tv Show Gotham, they killed villains like Fish Mooney and The Joker and they came back.

5. Gravity Falls Did This Too - Gravity Falls and Regular Show are similar to each other since both main characters go on bizarre adventures and there are monsters and stuff. Plus the creators are friends. Alex Hirsch did this with Bill Cipher; he killed him off and a few months later, he gave hints that there are possibilities that Bill is still alive.

6. J.G. Did This Before - Remember how Rigby use to die and he came back? He died in “It’s Time”, “Over the Top”, the “Second Halloween Special”, etc and he always come back.

7. It’s a cartoon: Anything can Happen- We are forgetting one important rules about cartoons: anything can happen.
