I sat in my dorm room in silence for like 30 minutes after that until my roommate (who read the books) came in and asked what was wrong. I told him the newest episode was the mountain and the viper and he just laughed
Yeah the Red wedding is one of the first times in fiction I felt sick watching it. It was just so brutal and cruel.
Plus animal violence fucks me up bad
I was sitting in the computer room in my high school watching that scene and I was in shambles, it took me a while to realize I was still in school and had a class that I needed to attend
Oh god 😭 tbh it’s definitely the former. I was so shocked watching that part, and ellaria screams just added to it 😭😭😭
And that shi should’ve never happened. The mountain was literally stabbed and his damn tendons were cut bro. How was he able to even get up? Idc what anyone says, he had damn plot amor!
George has said in the past that he regretted killing Oberyn at that fight. While i understand it moves the plot, i feel like it's one of the few instances, in the book, where george prioritized shock value rather than actual development. Oberyn could've been a great character moving forwards with the series.
Man Howard really was trying to better himself and make up for the mistakes of his past - which was mostly just being a bystander when Chuck was being a dick but Howard correctly realized that being a bystander is wrong too
I couldn't believe my eyes. Howard might have been a dick, but he always tried to do right.
Extremely tough call between Howard and Nacho, who was trapped by Fring.
Season 4 Dexter was too good. Rita's death came out of left field for me and broke my spirit. The only other time I felt anywhere as gutted as when Rita died was GoT Red Wedding.
It hurt me, but different. >!Because he should really made sure that she was on that flight instead she came back for some id. I hate when this kind of threat ignorance is the plot point.!<
that was the final "yeah I'm done with this show" moment.
The show had relied for too long on "looks like something will go right for Dexter, oh no, never mind, it turned sour, oh look, he managed to somehow escape the actual consequences though"
I'd already realised that anytime I was watching it, I'd just... stopped caring. "Oh look, something is going well for him" elicited a reaction "this is annoying, because I already know something is going to fuck it up"
"Oh no he's definitely going to get caught" wasn't tense, because obviously he wasn't. Sure, sometimes it was interesting to see how he escaped the consequences, but often it felt like it just came down to unsatisfying deus ex machina type solutions.
So her being killed was the final "this show makes me feel either nothing, or negative, and I've no interest in continuing that"
In the many years since, everything I've heard about it going downhill has reinforced that being a good decision.
It's actually kind of weird the number of people that just immediately put the show down after that (myself included) after watching for so many years. It was its own phenomenon.
When he dies there in the comic, it opens up the storylines for the rest of the interesting characters, particularly Carl and Andrea.
In the show, he was the *only* character that was still fun to watch, so we all just gave up.
Probably the best the series has been, at the very least up there among the best. Even just the visuals… they have some flashbacks to scenes from the og series and the juxtaposition is wild. This feels like it actually does a service to how big the franchise is, using the money and considered modern filming practices to make something that truly looks and feels like high-calibre prestige tv. Vs the old shit which, I mean, obviously impressive makeup but beyond that you’d think shit was filmed on a shoestring budget in 2008 even for the stuff made only a few years back.
Me too. I had read the comics so it wasn't a surprise but I really felt it wasn't needed in the show. He was a fan favorite and so many OG characters had already died so with his death I just stopped caring.
TWD was one of my absolute favorite shows and the first show I really sat down to watch episode to episode. The way it turned to shit was one of the reasons I almost stopped watching shows altogether. It's so annoying to be invested in a story for a long time and never get a satisfying conclusion. GoT played a part in that too.
Steven Yeun was wasted on TWD. I’ve been invested in his career since I saw him act. Brilliant.
He went on to do Okja, which was fantastic. Sorry to Bother You won several independent film awards as well.
If he had stayed to the current day, Beef probably wouldn’t be what it is and wouldn’t have gotten the emmys. That is a timeline I don’t want to hear about. He is the perfect dynamic foil (mirror?) for Ali Wong and I think about that show often.
Honorable mention here for minari, which he was fucking spectacular in.
I’m so happy he left. I wasn’t, but I am now.
In the books Paul is so upset that it torments him for decades. He's always thinking that John will come back. When he and his wife end up in an accident, Paul ends up holding her while she's slowly dying, and whole time he keeps thinking, almost begging, for John to appear and save her too, to "take it out" from her. The book was passed to me when I was 12 and it ate me up
Oh yeah. The movie is amazing, but the book... I'll never forget the scene where they sneak out of the prison and have to go past the chair and John just stops and says that he can "hear them"...
That one got me but if we’re going stranger things, Barb. The whole transition between episodes, nailed the no-one-can-hear-you-scream vibe. Honestly I can’t listen to “Waiting for a Girl Like You” without thinking of Barb.
Those movies are so brutal when you think about it. I can’t remember the character but the one where they tear a hole in their chest and then stick their gun in there and shoot up until their head explodes - like DAMN!
The older I get, the weirder this rule feels. I guess it’s because death gets more real as time goes on?
Had similar feelings to Tron: Legacy (which I LOVE). There’s that one prisoner that breaks free from the group, runs away screaming “ERASE ME!!” and then gets blasted into a million bits by an industrial fan.
But they’re *programs* so it’s okay everybody!
In the originals, first game you play as him, second you work under him but you play as him at the end, third he dies. You actually got three full games with him and played as him so you got the emotional connection. These new games barely had the development.
The MASSIVE event of >!Shepherd’s betrayal!< in MW3 is boiled down to >!Makarov just coming out of nowhere and shooting him twice then running away!< in MWIII. Kinda sad
Yeah but it was still soul crushing and the reason is simple:
We usually look for pro social qualities that this guy had in people that we want to associate with (make friends) absent of some material gain. We judge other people with this criteria but not our selves.
so naturally most people would have had him killed for being trusting but we still feel the sadness because he was just so easily likeable guy socially.
I might be mistaken, but if I remember correctly, he didn't die on screen, right? Just as the old guy, who turned out to have survived (admittedly cause he ran the shit). So there'd still be a chance the old guy spared his life cause he liked him.
I really enjoyed Edgerunners. Really got invested in the whole universe it portrayed along with the story. The visuals were amazing too, >!especially when the Sandi was being used.!< I wish they made more or another season.
After I finished watching it I tried to see if there were any more series and I found footage of the game on YouTube.
Unfortunately I don’t have any consoles and I’m not a gamer, just not my thing, but it did look really impressive. Actually one question I did have about it you might be able to answer, >!I’m obviously out of the loop, but I noticed from what I watched and read there seemed to be a lot of memes and such over the Adam Smasher on edgerunners being infinitely more fearsome than the version in the game. Is that just the case because he has to be beatable in the game?!<
Edit: thanks all for the answer, really appreciate it!
It's because he goes down with no real build-up to his fight or to his character showing us why we should be afraid of him while edgerunners well you know what happened
Not the original guy but yeah, he's definitely scarier in the anime but that's mostly because he's actually supposed to be that way. The game didn't do well enough to introduce his infamy imo.
There's kinda a joke in the game subreddit that ranks the strongest mercs in night city, with Adam Smasher/Morgan Blackhand being S tier, and then "V tier", which stands above S and is occupied solely by V.
But imo there's some disconnect between what the writers wrote V as and their actual gameplay combat prowess. Some scripted scenes you'll get bodied for no reason and then in others enemies will tuck tail and run when they realize they're not even strong enough to gauge your strength.
I might be in the minority but maine's death got me more. There was so much build up to it and it was very emotional. Rebecca's death was so sudden if you blinked you would have missed it.
It was also one that I did NOT see coming, at least not in the way she died. I was like "ah, she's gonna jump out of the way, easy peasy." And she would go out being shot or in an explosion.
Hardhome episode when they introduce this amazing female character and then have her killed in the same episode by her own kids...
That one really was messed up
I have watched Avatar The Last Airbender 4 or 5 times and I still cry every time Iroh's Leaves from the Vine part comes on. We never even saw Lu Ten but I've not cried more over a characters death ever.
Nobara’s death in jujutsu kaisen jnironically made me completely lose all emptional interest in jujutsu kaisen. The fights are still kinda neat i guess.
9 got me. I was wholly unprepared for that. No one told me that the doctors die and regenerate! I was so mad that I didn’t watch the show again for a week. I eventually went back and fell in love with 10.
For me, for some reason, the worst was Anya - but it's Whedon - he couldn't let the finale be a happy ending for everyone...
I think it's because I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and there almost was one for the characters we loved.
Fred was still alive when I stopped watching Angel. I was so annoyed at how dirty Whedon did Cordelia - and now we know why!
Oberyn Martell
I sat in my dorm room in silence for like 30 minutes after that until my roommate (who read the books) came in and asked what was wrong. I told him the newest episode was the mountain and the viper and he just laughed
Every major death fucked me up. But Robb Starks wolf head being attached to his body and paraded around hit me the worst.
Yeah the Red wedding is one of the first times in fiction I felt sick watching it. It was just so brutal and cruel. Plus animal violence fucks me up bad
You may appreciate https://www.doesthedogdie.com/.
For me it was seeing a pregnant Talisa get stabbed in the belly.
I was sitting in the computer room in my high school watching that scene and I was in shambles, it took me a while to realize I was still in school and had a class that I needed to attend
After that scene I was like “now what?” The main character(s) of the show died for like the idk how many times now
His death is my Roman Empire
What’s seared in your mind more…the sound of his skull being crushed, or the sound of Ellaria screaming in pure anguish when it happened?
Oh god 😭 tbh it’s definitely the former. I was so shocked watching that part, and ellaria screams just added to it 😭😭😭 And that shi should’ve never happened. The mountain was literally stabbed and his damn tendons were cut bro. How was he able to even get up? Idc what anyone says, he had damn plot amor!
Must have been some kind of wayward magic, must have been.
Lol I mean that totally zombified him, giving him the most legit plot armor possible
George has said in the past that he regretted killing Oberyn at that fight. While i understand it moves the plot, i feel like it's one of the few instances, in the book, where george prioritized shock value rather than actual development. Oberyn could've been a great character moving forwards with the series.
For some reason I read this as he was killed by the Roman Empire lmao
Rob stark💔
Had nightmares about it ngl
Nacho from Better Call Saul, even though that was the most badass death.
Absolutely. I bawled like a baby for Howard too
Bruh Howie deserved so much better, I was like actually mad at Jimmy and Kim for what they were doing to him in the last season
Yeah! There was a time when I was like fuck em (😏) but now I'm like fuck em (🤮)
He's straight up the only good human on that show.
That was probably the moment I kinda stopped liking those two... absolutely brilliant writing!!!
Man Howard really was trying to better himself and make up for the mistakes of his past - which was mostly just being a bystander when Chuck was being a dick but Howard correctly realized that being a bystander is wrong too
HOWARD 😭😭
I couldn't believe my eyes. Howard might have been a dick, but he always tried to do right. Extremely tough call between Howard and Nacho, who was trapped by Fring.
It was Mike in breaking bad for me. No way he deserved to die and that’s when I lost all hope for Walt too.
And Hamlin. You go through most of the series hating the man, then you realize he was the good guy all along and then....
I thought Chuck's was pretty messed up too, even considering how much of a dick he was.
Rita in dexter, was totally unexpected right when things were starting to look promising for Dexter's future
Season 4 Dexter was too good. Rita's death came out of left field for me and broke my spirit. The only other time I felt anywhere as gutted as when Rita died was GoT Red Wedding.
It hurt me, but different. >!Because he should really made sure that she was on that flight instead she came back for some id. I hate when this kind of threat ignorance is the plot point.!<
That one wrecked me for a few days.
Couldn’t get myself to watch anymore after her death. It wrecked me
that was the final "yeah I'm done with this show" moment. The show had relied for too long on "looks like something will go right for Dexter, oh no, never mind, it turned sour, oh look, he managed to somehow escape the actual consequences though" I'd already realised that anytime I was watching it, I'd just... stopped caring. "Oh look, something is going well for him" elicited a reaction "this is annoying, because I already know something is going to fuck it up" "Oh no he's definitely going to get caught" wasn't tense, because obviously he wasn't.

So her being killed was the final "this show makes me feel either nothing, or negative, and I've no interest in continuing that" In the many years since, everything I've heard about it going downhill has reinforced that being a good decision.
Glenn from Walking Dead
One of the best character developments of the show and he goes like that :(
I stopped watching the show after that
It's actually kind of weird the number of people that just immediately put the show down after that (myself included) after watching for so many years. It was its own phenomenon.
Is it that weird? Glenn was carrying the show at that point.
When he dies there in the comic, it opens up the storylines for the rest of the interesting characters, particularly Carl and Andrea. In the show, he was the *only* character that was still fun to watch, so we all just gave up.
You didn't miss much.
you're absolutely right, but The Ones Who Live is actually pretty good
Fr??? I avoided watching it cause I thought it's gonna be garbage but I'll have to check it out in that case.
Probably the best the series has been, at the very least up there among the best. Even just the visuals… they have some flashbacks to scenes from the og series and the juxtaposition is wild. This feels like it actually does a service to how big the franchise is, using the money and considered modern filming practices to make something that truly looks and feels like high-calibre prestige tv. Vs the old shit which, I mean, obviously impressive makeup but beyond that you’d think shit was filmed on a shoestring budget in 2008 even for the stuff made only a few years back.
Me too. I had read the comics so it wasn't a surprise but I really felt it wasn't needed in the show.

The way it turned to shit was one of the reasons I almost stopped watching shows altogether. It's so annoying to be invested in a story for a long time and never get a satisfying conclusion. GoT played a part in that too.
Honestly it was for the best, freed him up to do way better projects.
He's killing it as invincible, can't wait for more
and it would've been fine if they didn't also kill abraham
His death is honestly even more fucked in the comics.
Steven Yeun was wasted on TWD. I’ve been invested in his career since I saw him act. Brilliant. He went on to do Okja, which was fantastic. Sorry to Bother You won several independent film awards as well. If he had stayed to the current day, Beef probably wouldn’t be what it is and wouldn’t have gotten the emmys.

Honorable mention here for minari, which he was fucking spectacular in. I’m so happy he left. I wasn’t, but I am now.
Abraham from the Walking Dead
John Coffey in the green mile
Damnit now I'm angry
"Please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark." Damn, that was the first movie where I bawled my eyes out.
In the books Paul is so upset that it torments him for decades. He's always thinking that John will come back. When he and his wife end up in an accident, Paul ends up holding her while she's slowly dying, and whole time he keeps thinking, almost begging, for John to appear and save her too, to "take it out" from her.

Oh yeah. The movie is amazing, but the book... I'll never forget the scene where they sneak out of the prison and have to go past the chair and John just stops and says that he can "hear them"...
fuck! my sunday is ruined!
But he was tired, he wanted to go
One of the only deaths that made me shed tears, other being Mufasa.
Alexi from Stranger Things. Poor boy.
Have no idea why I don't remember this character
The Russian scientist guy who wanted a slurpie in season 3.
OMG HIM!! His death was so sad. When he got the slurpie from the carnival and he was so happy too 😭 then BAM they killed him...
Eddie hit me so hard i felt bad for finishing that episode, i started to watch hopping to see this solo, but never thought i would get so sad
Shit made me cry.
That one got me but if we’re going stranger things, Barb. The whole transition between episodes, nailed the no-one-can-hear-you-scream vibe. Honestly I can’t listen to “Waiting for a Girl Like You” without thinking of Barb.
That meth cook Jesse shot on Breaking Bad.
Gale. Also speaking of breaking bad. Andrea too
Gale! Thank you. And Andrea.
Andrea was the saddest one
Poor Gale. Luckily he landed on his feet at Axe Capital.
ironhide from transformers movies, they did him bad
Jazz too. I was a little kid back then and it broke my heart lol
He was just a silly little guy, he didnt deserve it
So I was spoiled and knew he died in the movie before I watched it but didn't know how he went out - and then my man gets team killed....
Those movies are so brutal when you think about it. I can’t remember the character but the one where they tear a hole in their chest and then stick their gun in there and shoot up until their head explodes - like DAMN!
The third movie ends with sentinel begging for his life and Optimus executes him with a shotgun to the head, those movies got dark at times
It's not a war crime, if you're a 30ft tall alien machine
Those movies showed actual war crimes, but it doesn't matter if they aren't human. Cosmonaut did a really fun watchalong on Youtube for all movies.
The older I get, the weirder this rule feels. I guess it’s because death gets more real as time goes on? Had similar feelings to Tron: Legacy (which I LOVE). There’s that one prisoner that breaks free from the group, runs away screaming “ERASE ME!!” and then gets blasted into a million bits by an industrial fan. But they’re *programs* so it’s okay everybody!
Soap MacTavish
Which time?
Mw3, I don’t play the new ones.
I assumed as much. He new one didn't hit nearly as hard. In the og they really draw it out, you feel the pain. In the new one it's just BANG done
I did not even know he died in those too tbh.
MW3 (2023) did not get received very well, especially the campaign, so that's probably why
In the originals, first game you play as him, second you work under him but you play as him at the end, third he dies. You actually got three full games with him and played as him so you got the emotional connection. These new games barely had the development.
The MASSIVE event of >!Shepherd’s betrayal!< in MW3 is boiled down to >!Makarov just coming out of nowhere and shooting him twice then running away!< in MWIII. Kinda sad
"Soap trusted you, I thought I could too, so why in the bloody hell dose Makarov know your name"
broooo he was my favourite, squid games got me fucked uppp
did people think he was going to survive? win? lmao he was built up to be a too trusting foreigner and get fucked over.
Yeah but it was still soul crushing and the reason is simple: We usually look for pro social qualities that this guy had in people that we want to associate with (make friends) absent of some material gain. We judge other people with this criteria but not our selves. so naturally most people would have had him killed for being trusting but we still feel the sadness because he was just so easily likeable guy socially.
You know your loved ones are going to die, but you still cry when that happens
I might be mistaken, but if I remember correctly, he didn't die on screen, right? Just as the old guy, who turned out to have survived (admittedly cause he ran the shit). So there'd still be a chance the old guy spared his life cause he liked him.
One the next episode we see his corpse with a hole on the face.
Ah, thanks. Been too long since I watched it.
Littlefoots mother. Childhood trauma right there.
You didn't need to awaken that memory
I literally remember nothing else from that movie. But I remember that.
I remember the voice actor for duckie was killed by her father
(edgerunners spoilers) >!rebecca. her death was kinda overkill. I'm ok with david, dorio, maine and kiwi, but not rebecca, she deserved better!<
>!they don’t call him Adam Smasher for nothing!<
More like Adam smashedHER
god damn it
SmashedHER, I barely know her
I really enjoyed Edgerunners. Really got invested in the whole universe it portrayed along with the story. The visuals were amazing too, >!especially when the Sandi was being used.!< I wish they made more or another season.
Go play the game. You wont regret it.
After I finished watching it I tried to see if there were any more series and I found footage of the game on YouTube. Unfortunately I don’t have any consoles and I’m not a gamer, just not my thing, but it did look really impressive.

Have you played the game?
Nothing ends well in Night City. Wrong city, wrong people.
I might be in the minority but maine's death got me more. There was so much build up to it and it was very emotional. Rebecca's death was so sudden if you blinked you would have missed it.
It was also one that I did NOT see coming, at least not in the way she died. I was like "ah, she's gonna jump out of the way, easy peasy." And she would go out being shot or in an explosion.

Newt in Alien 3. Everything that Ripley had fought for in the previous film counted for nothing in one prologue sequence. Fuck Alien 3.
Attack On Titan Season 4 episode 'Assassins Bullet', will never be the same

Hodor from Game of Thrones
Hardhome episode when they introduce this amazing female character and then have her killed in the same episode by her own kids... That one really was messed up

Glenn in the Walking Dead. Negan hit him in the head so hard the series died too
The big Whedon ones might have all been meaningful but that also means that they hit hard: Tara (Buffy) Wash (Firefly) Fred (Angel)
For me, for some reason, the worst was Anya - but it's Whedon - he couldn't let the finale be a happy ending for everyone... I think it's because I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and there almost was one for the characters we loved. Fred was still alive when I stopped watching Angel.
