We could do a collage of all the death scenes in Game of Thrones

Or we could not?!?

It's not 10 years old yet and there are people who have actually managed to avoid spoilers.

Plus I'm trying to watch it and have only gotten through Season 1 so far.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

I'm inclined to go BUPKIS on this one, too.

Here's a crude first attempt of the concept I was talking about with Oz... though it might end up looking like they're wearing halloween masks. If that's too spoiler-heavy I can understand that, but as someone else pointed out let's not forget that this is also inherently a Death Trope.

Yes, even the guy in the wheelchair is not safe.

Something along the lines of 29 could work, just without the mask like skeletons as the markers for the dead.

[up][up]: Not digging the Punisher-esque marks either, maybe something more straightforward like a red X? Also, I'm a bit more comfortable spoiling a two-decades old show than Game of Thrones, but is that kosher, generally...?

^ Dunno if it's kosher in general, but we also have tropes like Vasquez Always Dies and Chronically Killed Actor...

The red Xs look a lot better to me.

Bump. Other thoughts?

I like 32. It shows the trope and avoids spoilers.

Yup, thinking about it more, 32's fine. One can reasonably infer that they're all major characters, death count is high enough without sliding into Kill Em All or Characters Dropping Like Flies, and the characters aren't particularly distinguishable from their faces or outfits (at least from this image). Gets a [tup] from me.

On another note, I'm not digging the image on Chronically Killed Actor; it relies on the text to tell us that it's the same dude in all those roles, but that's for another day.

Good enough. 32's up and the tag's adjusted. Are we good with the caption in 32 or something else?

Since I suggested it, obviously I'm in favor of it.

I'm good with it as well. It's added and tagged; locking up.
