| 23 | Currently, [[spoiler:The real Caulder]] from ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars: Days of Ruin'' and [[spoiler:Teri Bauer]] from ''Series/TwentyFour'' are the only characters to have scored 4, the highest possible. And are notable for having 4 in ''every'' category. At one point, [[spoiler:Shirley]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and also scored 4, thanks in part to a special [=CLAMP=] bonus that became harder to defend as the series went on. [[spoiler:Chloe Sullivan]] from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' is currently the only character to have scored a perfect 1, in the episode ''Fracture'', with the rest of the cast not even taking her death seriously, fully expecting her return. |

| 26 | |
| 27 | '''Baseline Example: The death of Franchise/{{Superman}}.''' |
| 28 | * Cause: HeroicSacrifice, so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3. |
| 29 | * Genre: It's a comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1. |
| 30 | * The Body: DeaderThanDead, a PietaPlagiarism too for supes sake! So no chance of FakingTheDead. 4. |
| 31 | * Reaction: ReallyDeadMontage, uh-oh. 4. |
| 32 | * Characterization: Protagonist. 1. |
| 33 | * When did he die: Same year, so 2. |
| 34 | * Come Back?: This was a first, so 4. |
| 35 | * Average: So add it up... we get a pretty high score, 19! Since it's not a videogame, divide by 7, and we get... 19/7 = 2.7, meaning supes isn't coming back for at least a few months, maybe even years. In actuality the ''Death Of Superman'' happened in January 1993 and he came back some time before May 1994. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ---- |
| 38 | |
| 39 | '''Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of Franchise/{{Batman}} in ComicBook/FinalCrisis.''' |
| 40 | * Cause: HeroicSacrifice, give or take. 3. |
| 41 | * Genre: Comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1. |
| 42 | * The Body: [[DeaderThanDead Dead and buried]], but it's a little more complicated. Still, it's a 4. |
| 43 | * Reaction: [[HesDeadJim He's Dead Clark]], plus "ComicBook/WhateverHappenedToTheCapedCrusader?" probably counts as a ReallyDeadMontage. 3.5. |
| 44 | * Last Words: "Try Me." 3. |
| 45 | * Characterization: It's [[MemeticMutation The Goddamn Batman]], people. 1. |
| 46 | * When did he die: Same year, so 2. |
| 47 | * Come Back?: This would be the first time, so 4. |
| 48 | * Average: 21.5/8= 2.7. A semi-high score, and DC seems to be sticking to this one for a while. Still, he'll definitely be back, likely before the end of 2010 at the latest. |

| 57 | |
| 58 | Col. Miles Quaritch (if only because so many people like him): |
| 59 | * Cause: Two [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill six-foot arrows]] through his chest courtesy of Neytiri. 4 |
| 60 | * Genre: Ton of minor characters die (among hordes of no-name humans and Na'vi). 4 |
| 61 | * Body: Drops with the AMP suit onto the ground. We basically see Quaritch draw his last breath. 4 |
| 62 | * Reaction: If Neytiri's hiss counts as a BondOneLiner, then it's a 4. |
| 63 | * Last Words: None, but his reaction is of shock and pain. 3.5 |
| 64 | * Characterization: Main villain, in at least the first of the trilogy. 1 |
| 65 | * When did they die: Nothing really progresses after his death except for Jake transferring consciousnesses after a month or two. Technically a 1 |
| 66 | * "Died" and come back?: No. And given the surprising [[MediaNotes/MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness hardness]] of the series, highly unlikely. 4 |
| 67 | * Average: 3.1875 - Oddly low score, considering other factors, but it'll take a HandWave to bring him back. And [[Creator/JamesCameron Jim]] isn't very fond of that. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | [[/folder]] |
| 70 | |
| 71 | [[folder:''The Dark Knight Trilogy]]'' |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Ra's a'Ghul in ''Film/BatmanBegins'': |
| 74 | * Cause of Death: [[LeftForDead Left on train about to crash]], although DeathByIrony has some argument too, since he tried to train Bruce to be willing to kill, and died just after Batman got the upper hand complete with IronicEcho - 2 or 4 |
| 75 | * Genre: Nolan-verse, death is common, even among key characters - 4 |
| 76 | * Body Found?: Aforementioned train crashes, no mention of the body being found in the movie, and novelization says no body has been found yet - 1 |
| 77 | * Reaction: Well... none, really. Perhaps an 'It's Personal' on Batman's behalf when he chooses not to save him - 2 |
| 78 | * Last Words: Final speech, about Batman doing what is necessary - 3 |
| 79 | * Characterisation: Archvillain. A magnificent one, at that - 1 |
| 80 | * When: InUniverse at least a year passes between ''Begins'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' - 2 |
| 81 | * Previous Deaths: In this continuity, he's never been dead before, because the wrong guy was killed at the fortress. In other continuities, though, he has almost JokerImmunity. This series - 4. Including other continuities - 1. |
| 82 | * So, all added up, that gives us grand totals of 16/8 (2.0) for the most lenient score or 21/8 (2.625),for the harshest. The door is conceivably open for a return. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Two-face in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': |
| 85 | * Cause: I'm calling it as a "NoOneCouldSurviveThat" - 2 |
| 86 | * Genre: Nolan's verse is in AnyoneCanDie territory - 4. |
| 87 | * Body: "DeaderThanDead" 4 |
| 88 | * Reaction: "HesDeadJim" 3 |
| 89 | * Characterization: Regular 2 |
| 90 | * When: He dies at the end of the same movie he's introduced, so I'd call it as "Same arc" - 1 |
| 91 | * Come back before: Not yet in the Nolan-verse, so I'll let this be a 4. |
| 92 | * Average: 2.86. |
| 93 | |
| 94 | And, in the same movie, Rachel Dawes: |
| 95 | * Cause: [[DisposableWoman a Fridge dropped on her]], so 4 |
| 96 | * Genre: 4, like above |
| 97 | * Body: "Never found" 3 |
| 98 | * Reaction: [[spoiler:Two-face uses this death as the touchstone for his crime spree, so you could say that]]"ItsPersonal" 2 |
| 99 | * Last words: KilledMidSentence 4 |
| 100 | * Characterization: Regular 2 |
| 101 | * When: "Same Arc" 1 |
| 102 | * Come back before: No - 4 |
| 103 | * Average: 24/8 = 3.0, and worse if you think that showing Harvey and Bruce both grieving and Alfred comforting Bruce bumps this up 3 instead of a 2. Fare thee well, Rachel. |

| 107 | [[folder:''Kingsman]]'' |
| 108 | |
| 109 | Let's start with Harry's death in [[Film/KingsmanTheSecretService the first movie]]. |
| 110 | * Cause of Death: [[BoomHeadshot Shot in the head]] by Valentine, subverting the JustBetweenYouAndMe trope. Thus DeathByIrony applies - 4 |
| 111 | * Genre: In the first movie, almost all deaths are etablished as real - 3 |
| 112 | * Body Found?: LeftForDead by Valentine and Gazelle - 1 |
| 113 | * Reaction: ItsPersonal with Valentine - 2 |
| 114 | * Last Words: "[[TemptingFate Sounds good to me.]]", in answer of Valentine telling him he was going to escape in a convoluted way, like in old spy movies. - 2 |
| 115 | * Characterisation: Deuteragonist and [[TheMentor Eggsy's mentor]]. - 2 |
| 116 | * When: InUniverse, a year passes between ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'' and ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle'' - 2 |
| 117 | * Previous Deaths: Nope - 4. |
| 118 | * Average score : 2.5 Even the trailers of The Golden Circle revealed his survival. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | Roxy in [[Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle The Golden Circle]]. |
| 121 | * Cause of Death: StuffedInTheFridge by a [[DroppedABridgeOnHim bridge drop]]. - 4 |
| 122 | * Genre: From the second movie, it is etablished that people can survive bullets in the head. - 2 |
| 123 | * Body Found?: Her body is never seen in the rubbles. Also, the missile doesn't hit the palace directly, but the yard in front of it. - 1 |
| 124 | * Reaction: [[HesDeadJim She's dead, Eggsy]]. - 3 |
| 125 | * Last Words: [[OhCrap Shocked]] when she sees the missile coming. - 4 |
| 126 | * Characterisation: Eggsy's [[TheLancer lancer]]. - 2 |
| 127 | * When: In the last movie of the franchise. - 1 |

| 131 | Merlin |
| 132 | * Cause of Death: [[Sacrifice Sacrifices]] himself to save Eggsy and Harry from a triggered mine, and makes a diversion. - 3 |
| 133 | * Genre: From the second movie, it is etablished that people can survive bullets in the head. - 2 |
| 134 | * Body Found?: His body is not seen after the explosion. - 2 |
| 135 | * Reaction: ItsPersonal with Poppy and her minions. - 2 |

| 137 | * Characterisation: TheSmartGuy of the Kingsmen. - 2 |
| 138 | * When: In the last movie of the franchise. - 1 |

| 156 | |
| 157 | Banquo: |
| 158 | * Cause of Death: [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Either died or passed out from being impaled, then left to drown in a river.]] - 4 |
| 159 | * Genre: KilledOffForReal. - 3 |
| 160 | * Body Found: LeftForDead. - 1 |
| 161 | * Reaction: Despite being [[BigBadFriend Macbeth's friend]] [[{{BetaTestBaddie}} whom Macbeth felt inferior to,]] Macbeth is apathetic about his death and, upon seeing Banquo's ghost, [[NeverMyFault tries to shift the blame on the murders]]. [[AdaptationalVillainy Ross]] doesn't feel bad for the murder either. - 4 |
| 162 | * Last Words: O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! Thou mayst revenge. O slave! O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! Thou mayst revenge. O slave! - 3 |

| 165 | * "Died" and Come Back?: Only as a ghost, [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane assuming it was real]]. - 4 |
| 166 | * Average: 25/8=3.125. The odds are against him, but he still has the highest survival rate out of all of the characters. Guess they should have double-checked before leaving him behind. |
