BT The P: I'm not sure there's any reason for this to be on three indicies. It's very clearly a Death Trope, the Anime and Animated indicies are mainly for stuff that only shows up in animation. Most story tropes are universal to animation and live-action, it's mostly the visual idioms that need separtation and sorting. If no one argues the point, I'll streamline the entry, which is otherwise excellent.
Looney Toons: I'd say go right ahead. If I'd given much thought to it when I separated them with rule lines, I might have done the same thing.
Should this be split into "karmic death" and something along the lines of "convenient death" (the difference being that karmic ones have some attempt at justification)? —Document N The Spider-Man entry about Green Goblin is in both this article and "Hoist by his own Petard". Is this really needed? Caswin: Does the Yzma example really count? I think, at the very least, it should be pared down to her falling and not dying. I sincerely doubt that the Song of Ice and Fire example belongs here. Viserys being "crowned" with molten gold is less an example of Karmic Death (since he wasn't attacking Khal Drogo) than it is Death by Hilarious Irony. fleb: Maybe. The problem isn't that he's not attacking (he was threatening Khal's pregnant wife), but that he's not really The Villain™, whose method of demise spares The Hero's unblemished hands, unless we count his sister as The Hero to his Villain. Which would seriously stretch it. Citizen: Removing a thread-mode example that can't make up its mind:
fleb: Tentatively cut a few. Adolf Hitler definitely doesn't fit. Viserys doesn't either, or Good Omens, since neither are the bad guy of the story— but they both are Death By Irony, just not this kind.
