History Main / KillTheCutie

* In ''Manga/VentoAureo,'' [[spoiler:Narancia gets killed by Diavolo.]] Also, [[TheDragon Doppio]] qualifies despite being a villain just because of how endearing he is, unlike his HateSink alternate personality.

A series introduces [[TheCutie a character as sweet and lovable]], a fountain of SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments, more comic relief than anything, who likes nothing more than to [[PetTheDog pet little puppies]]. [[{{Moe}} They make you adore them, root for them and love them.]] And yes, you may even be looking at TheHeart of the lot.

* ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'': Probably western animation's first attempt -- and possibly earliest example in American cinema -- to portray the "damsel in extreme distress" by literally killing the most beautiful girl off. The scene: A seemingly kindly elderly peasant woman (the disguised Evil Queen) convincing Snow White to take and eat an apple, not telling her (of course) that it is poisoned. She falls in a deep sleep, seemingly never to awaken ... and the dwarfs have kept eternal watch over their friend, when the "Kill the Cutie" moment is finally reversed with the Prince's kiss.

** [[spoiler:Ethlyn and Quan]] too. They were travelling through the Yied Desert to meet up with [[spoiler: Sigurd]]. However, [[spoiler: Travant ambushes their army and wipes them out save Finn (who was back at Lenster with Leaf) taking their baby Altena hostage]]. And no, there is no way to save them--not only are the enemies that they're fighting are coded as "other" units so you can't even attack them if you manage to get your units to them (although you probably won't be able to lend much aid since the desert will slow down everyone except your lone flying unit), but if the Random Number Goddess somehow deigns to allow them to ''win'' the HopelessBossFight, there's a good chance it'll lead to an UnwinnableByMistake situation.

* In the CrapsackWorld of ''WebVideo/ThereWillBeBrawl'', [[spoiler: Red]] is the only unequivocally ''good'' character throughout the entire series. So TheMafia [[KickTheDog blows up his house.]]
* ''WebVideo/DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog''. [[spoiler:Penny.]] God''dammit'', [[Creator/JossWhedon Joss]]. He does seem to like killing off his sweet characters, and web original is no different from TV. She was an adorable girl.

** Donnie [=DuPre=] in . Tragic backstory, massive idealist, a DudeMagnet CuddleBug, loves his friends, clings onto anyone who's nice to him... [[spoiler: not real and just a punishment for WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic]]. [[TearJerker Fuck]].

* The two main characters in ''VideoGame/ItTakesTwo'' have become trapped in the bodies of dolls and decide the only way to turn back into humans is to use their daughter's tears. To get her to cry they decide to murder her beloved toy, Cutie the Elephant. Cutie lives up to her name by being the sweetest and friendliest person ever but it doesn't dissuade the main characters from their plan. Cutie doesn't want to hurt anyone so tries to flee, all the while pleading with the parents to stop and find another way, but is eventually hunted down, [[AnArmAndALeg has her limbs ripped off to prevent her escape]], and dragged into position so their poor daughter will see the body. And if the death itself wasn't harrowing and brutal enough, the main characters proceed to cheer and dance in their daughter's tears afterward as she cries over Cutie's corpse. It's so mean-spirited a lot of players feel it gets pushed out of CrossesTheLineTwice and into DudeNotFunny.
