For me, it was always Optimus Prime from The Transformers movie.
Bridge to Terabithia
!Leslie!<
Maggie from Million Dollar Baby. I wept for a while after that. Still can’t watch it without weeping.
Breaking bad spoilers
spoiler
Mike from Breaking Bad😔. Had to stop watching for a few days after that
!Shut the fuck up and let me die in peace.!<
The Land Before Time - Littlefoot’s mother
I was not prepared
Rose from Please Like Me. Probably partly because my mum also has bipolar.
Oh this was such a rough fictional death for me, too.
I think it was because I was hopeful for her character.
Hazel from Watership Down.
NOT a children’s movie, mum!
OH MY GOD That movie caused me so much enotional damage as a kid
I was spared but my wife was damaged by this also. I watched it with her as an adult and couldn’t believe people let their kids watch it.
Captain Kirk - of course
For me it was Spock in ST:II
Dexter: when his wife gets killed and they pan over to that shot of her in the bathtub i literally threw my mouse against the wall.
Not my most, but also not already in the thread:
Duella’s in BSG.
The character who died in Sea of Stars made me and my kid cry. Not saying more.
Tinkerbell and all of her friends dying in Tinkerbell and the Neverbeast.
If you know, you know. If you don’t, it’s an ‘unconventional’ explanation.
Mordin Solus from Mass Effect.
“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong”
“Too many. Lost shields. Sorry, Shepard. Tell them… I held the line.”
And I had to reload an old save.
I was going to post Shephard, but no, Mordin was the worst.
I haven’t the constitution to play “evil”, so saught out the evil equivalent as video… also heartbreaking.
Charlie in Lost sticks with me
And for my Stormlight fans >!Teft’s death still hurts. He had grown so much…😭!<
Gurren Lagan Spoilers
Kamina
Joyce Summers. That episode of Buffy was a masterpiece.
Holy hell, that was so brutal. How she was just lying there, with eyes open and all
I just saw this for the first time recently. It hit me so hard that I had to call my therapist for an extra session. The look on her face was identical to my father’s when he passed.
My mom died when my sister and I were approximately Buffy’s and dawn’s ages, respectively. It was an absolute gut punch to watch for me too.
Ugh…Just laying on that couch… Can’t defeat natural causes with a wooden stake.
