Cyclops in X-Men 3.

Yeah they butchered the character from the get go, but to do Dark Phoneix without Scott was painfully stupid...so much so that an entire reboot was needed and effectively led to a distorted timeline that doomed the continuation of the X franchise to the current MCU a la Deadpool.

And Lem from The Shield.

Not only was he my favorite character on the show, but his death signaled the downfall of SOA

The downfall started during season 3 when they went to Ireland.

It’s my favorite series ever, but THE PERFECT ending was to have everyone he loved dead and finding out that his cancer was cured. The final scene is him sitting in his old classroom having to live with the consequences of his actions.

This is basically what happened to Vic at the end of The Shield.

Laurel Lance in Arrow. The show died for me that day and I haven't watched an episode of that show since.

When I was a kid I read A Bridge to Terabithia and then saw the TV movie.

I think it was my first understanding of death (though fictional) - and it was a fellow kid.

It's amazing what passed for kids books back then...they were trying to teach you hard lessons of life and not just fantasy. Yet the genius of the book is the kids live in a fantasy world and then reality takes it away by the harsh tragedies of life.

I saw the movie in 1985 and it always stuck with me since. Leslie is in the movie and suddenly she's no more. They don't show the death...like in real life, Jessie learns of it from family.

He's a kid and his best friend is just gone...like she simply disappeared.

As a kid that pissed me off, because it showed me reality in a movie and it scared the shite out of me.

And I think the author based it on her son losing his best friend.
I'd somehow never heard of it until I was an adult, and fortunately read a summary before reading the book. Don't think I'll do that one.

As a kid, I hated those sad books they made to teach us life is hard, as if we had nothing going on in our own families. I remember this one called "The Lottery Rose" that I had to read in 5th grade, after I finished I just sat there wondering why someone would write or assign a book designed to make kids sad.

Old Yeller traumatized my childhood.

Optimus Prime in the OG Transformers Movie.

Henry Blake in MASH. But that scene of Radar announcing his death was incredible.

Don’t know why, but Two Socks dying in Dances with Wolves really pissed me off. Still does.

Mellish & the other guy that was killed bc of Upham being scared. Also Giovanni Ribisis character, the medic Wade sucked.

Billy (Leonardo DiCaprio) in The Departed, it guaranteed no sequel while I acknowledge it was loosely based on a true story.
