Real World Examples?
- Anybody want to come up with some Real Life things for this, or does it just not really fit here?
As 24.9.144.119 noted on the main page, William Shatner's heading quote is sourced in this link
. Just moving the link here for posterity, since it looks awkward in the quote itself.

- From Sluggy Freelance:
- Alt-Zoe's death, Feng's death, Monica's death, and Bert's death, as well as that of several others
- And now we have Riff's robot walker set ablaze and destroyed by Oasis...with Riff and Zoe inside it. While its possibile Riff survived (he's seen reaching for the eject button just before the explosion), the fact that Zoe's death has been foretold well in advance puts the odds against her. Time will tell.
- Most of those, especially the last, were well-planned, climactic and emotional. Abrubt, yes, although often with huge buildup so not really. But not this trope.
- Alt-Zoe's
The Doctor Who example regarding Romana included long-debunked rumors (specifically that the actress was pregnant). The DVD release of that actress' sole season on the program thoroughly debunks this rumor, as well as the associated one that she was obviously pregnant in the final episode, which is easily debunked by watching the episode.
The trope entries here seem to essentially amount to "Complaining About Deaths I Don't Like." Doesn't matter whether or not there was any story potential or that the character was given a tragic or heroic death. Lots of Fan Dumb here. But the trope is vague enough that if I pull anything, theres going to be complaints.
Would this go for most WWII dramas/films? In many, characters (including prominent ones) simply get shot by the enemy and die whilst the rest continue the mission.
Deleted, if the character did not die it does not need to be here.
- Resident Evil fans are going to be furious after seeing one of the latest trailers for Resident Evil E 5. At the end, a tombstone for Jill Valentine is seen, with absolutely no explanation for her death.
- Well, looks like we can call this one a subversion: Jill lives! And as a bonus: Becomes a blonde!
