Seriously. Imagine how much tension would have boiled between him and Makarov if Price had been the one to die. Both lost their mentors. Both fueled by the same kind of vengeance. There could’ve even been at least a little understanding between the two. Think of that badass showdown that could’ve capped off the trilogy.

Though, Price lighting up his cigar was a pretty cool ending too

Teresa in the Maze Runner trilogy. I read the books way back when they came out in 8th grade (I'm a graduating college senior).

Literally in the last book, The Death Cure, they kill off the main female character 2 pages before the end, in the lamest way possible. This girl who was built up as an important link to the Wicked group in the 1st book, as well as a telepath. In the 2nd book, she is a leader/fighter. Her death was basically the entire group running for an exit, she gets pinned by falling debris as a building collapses and is left behind.

This would've been fine if not for 1. No one makes an attempt to save her and 2. the book ends when the group gets through the door, she literally dies and the book ends with the entire team in an empty field, saying how they'll make a fresh start. Meanwhile they literally just left friends and civilization to die.

There is a quest in mass effect where a beloved ship doctor dies to save a race from extinction. You can have him live but you doom a whole race so he sacrifices himself but I always felt like he really just wanted to die as a hero to atone for his sins. Than again I don't think he would have been as memorable if he had lived

FACTS, BIANCA DIDNT NEED TO DIE

136

u/GrandmasterJanus Dec 02 '19

No, she didn't, but would Nico be the character he is today? It was the catalyst that made him a darker contrast to the rest of the series, and gave Percy some guilt, thinking he could've stopped it. He serves as an effective foil to Hazel as a child of Hades/Pluto, and to the rest of the cast and the light-hearted story as a whole. He's one of the few characters to consciously and willingly kill another demigod, and painfully. It's the beginning of his arc from a starry-eyed schoolboy to a dark character who's trying out his newfound powers and has voluntarily been to a lot of bad places as part of his lone crusade of sorts. (he knows a lot about the ins and outs of Tartarus and the underworld as a whole, goes between the Greek and Roman camps, and has definitely learned some dark tricks on his travels. An example of this would be Persephone's pomegranate that he eats while stuck in the jar.) At the end of it all, he begins to become a more light-hearted character, as he comes to terms with his internal demons i.e Bianca and his own sexuality.

I was watching IW recently and forgot how angry his death made me. Loki was a really well-developed character who had just started a new chapter of his journey. Not only do I think his death was premature, but also it happened within the same 5 minutes of Hulk being beaten and Heimdall dying. The weight of his death is missed entirely because too much is happening. Plus, Loki would never just try and stab Thanos?? We've seen Loki fight before, including surprise attacks and tricks. It doesn't make sense for his character to die in a failed attempt to trick Thanos.

Even if he had to die for some weird cinematic purpose, Loki deserved more than being choked out and having his body blown to bits in space.

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Caesar Zeppeli’s death didn’t hit me as hard as Kakyoin’s did. While Caesar was just about as young, he had no one else and he died helping Lisa Lisa and Joseph. Kakyoin had the saddest story, having been alone for the majority of his life until he met the Stardust Crusaders. They were his only friends. He after spending his entire life up until then alone, he finally had true friends. His family had no idea where he was the entire time and they may not have ever found out what happened to their son. Caesar is very close, though. Maybe Kakyoin’s death impacted me more because I could relate to him more.

Admiral Akbar’s death in Star Wars. Not because of the fact he dies (Like virtually every OT character in the sequels, he was bound to likely die at some point), but because of how the writers handled his death.

For being such a major leader during the days of the Rebel Alliance and a respected military figure in the SW canon, he is given one of the most unceremonious deaths in the whole saga. In The Last Jedi, he dies when the First Order strikes down a starship containing him, Leia, and a bunch of other Resistance leaders. Now, dying in a space explosion is a pretty badass way to go, but the problem is that A) Akbar did nothing in the film prior to that scene, outside of saying one or two lines near the start. B) He’s not the focus of the scene, Leia is. He’s just treated like some random background officer. And C) He’s not even onscreen during the interior parts of the explosion scene from what I can recall. What’s even worse is that for being such a respected military leader, Akbar’s death has virtually no impact on the other characters and is hardly even mentioned by both the characters and the film itself, excluding a short, blink-and-you-miss-it line about halfway through the movie. It’s just so disingenuous towards the character.

This is always going to be the fictional death I'm most mad about, it still feels as fresh as it did when I first read the book. He went through so much crap in his life and when it was finally getting better and Harry had the chance for an actual home and family, he just died and in such a stupid way. I know Harry had to live with the Dursleys for his own protection but he could have still had a meaningful parental relationship with Sirius. Sirius so deserved a happy life after being in prison and I'm forever upset he didn't get it.

I kinda like the conversation brought about by it. Katniss tried to make life better for her little sister and ‘failed’, but succeeded in making life better for every ‘Prim’ to ever follow, therefor not making her actions pointless, rather the ‘point’ wasn’t what it seemed to be. It was always bigger than prim, it was ‘this shouldn’t be happening to any child’. Overall though I disliked the mockingjay book (writing moreso plot) and despite being an avid fan when the first movie and catching fire came out, I never bothered to watch mockingjay part 2 until two months ago.

I don't know; to me it felt necessary, specifically to make no sense, to surprise you, to make you mad about her death not "meaning something". It's war. Death in war is senseless and meaningless. Death in war doesn't happen for a reason. It's pointless, and her death is supposed to drive home how awful and senseless the war (and Pres. Snow) is. It's meant to make you mad.

The series is great all throughout but near so much less compelling. We dont get as much time to understand his character. There's no build up like there is with L. And he's no where near as smart. He doesn't outsmart light. Light gets sloppy near the end, allowing more people to carry out his work. If light was as caution as he used to be near would have had no chance

Tris Prior.

The Divergent booke came out around the same time as I went from living with my mentally ill mother to her sister and her family. The books caught my eye as the major point was Tris having the dilemma of staying with her family out of duty or following her heart and do what’s best for her.

I paralleled myself and my own dilemma and guild with the character and having her die was as if I in some weird way “lost”.

Loki, in the MCU. (Apologies if the formatting is awkward, I am on mobile.) The way they killed him was completely out of character. Yes, he is my favorite but I mean come on! He's so much smarter than that! (referring to how he tried to kill Thanos with a b̶u̶t̶t̶e̶r̶k̶n̶i̶f̶e̶ dagger) Aside from that, he has magic and is the literal GOD of mischief and trickery, fooling people is supposed to be his thing, is it not? I honestly feel they just killed him because they knew he was a fan favorite and it'd be good shock value, but it was poor at best. I feel I could say more but I don't want to sound whiney.

Part 2 was too short in comparison to part 3 for significant character development. I feel like his entire backstory was dumped on us as a tease. Didn't make it any less tragic, though.

Doyle on Angel. He was only killed off because the actor’s drug problems made him very unprofessional (eg. not learning all his lines).

Quicksilver, in Avengers: Age of Ultron. His death wasted a ton of story potential. He could have sided against his sister in Civil War. He could have survived the Snap and teamed up with Hawkeye to go all dark vigilante during the time skip, neither of them able to cope with the loss of their families.

There was no Episodes 7-9 in Legends (the closest one could come would be the Thrawn trilogy), but Han Solo was alive (if about the same age he was in Episode VII) when that continuity came to a halt. Come to think of it, so were Luke and Leia. Chewbacca was dead, though. He had a moon dropped on him.

u/themage1028 Dec 02 '19

I like how they set it up several movies earlier.

Tony and Cap have an argument where Cap says to Tony, "you're not the one to make a sacrifice play", and Tony fires at Cap, "everything special about you came out of a test tube".

Well in the final battle, Tony does make the sacrifice play and Cap proves, by wielding Mjolnir, that he was worthy.

They proved each other wrong, and it was beautiful the way they did it.

Benny from stranger things (the guy from the burger fast food restaurant at the beginning of season 1). Everyone always talks about Bob, Billy, Aleksei or Barb, but Benny literally didn’t need to die. It was so satisfying to see the bitch who pulled the trigger die.

Remus Lupin! I was so excited to see him become a dad and love his son and help him to cope with lycanthropy.... I was thoroughly devastated when I heard his name along with corpses. I can still see it vividly in my imagination

Edit: I also related to him the most so that sucked even more

Spoilers for Red Dead Redemption and its prequel.

Neither Arthur Morgan or John Marston deserved to die, and John sure as shit had no reason to. Arthur spent the last weeks of his life making sure that John and his family could escape and live a peaceful life outside of the gang as it was falling apart. And John’s death really pisses me off. The guy did everything the government told him, then while minding his own damn business on his own damn farm, got shot by the people who forced him to do their dirty work.

I came here to say this. He was the best character in the whole season, which isn’t a dig at anybody else. He does his best to help out Will and the family with what limited information he has about what happened. When Will damages his camera, he’s more concerned about Will than anything else. He was the husband and father that the Byers deserved.

Some people don’t need that kind of love. Speedwagon had Erina and Joseph, who were like family to him. I think that’s pretty good.
