If Anyone Can Die, then everyone is so dead, right?

"The Cutie" tends to have the lowest life expectancy in Japanese shows, but I can't figure out a way to note that without messing up the table

I made a note about Cuties having a lower life expectancy in horror media and other darker stuff.

Is it just me, or is there too much overlap between Tough Girl and Action Girl, especially since Tough Girl potholes to Vasquez Always Dies, a trope about an Action Girl dying, and since they're on opposite ends of the mortality spectrum?

Not all Action Girls have the same mortality risk. The "tough girl" here refers to the ones with a high mortality because of Vasquez Always Dies.

Hmm, I think that the "bisexual" word links to [[anythingthatmoves]] could be offensive. I'll remove the link.

In the description, Sorting Matrix Of Deadness doesn't have anything on the page. Should that be deleted?

Edit: Never mind, it just doesn't redirect to Sorting Algorithm of Deadness.

I dunno about dogs being in 1, a lot of horror movies (especially bad ones) seem to kill the dog early on to add suspense/sadness. Eg, I remember watching the MST 3 K of Manos: The Hands of Fate and thinking "that dog is so doomed", and iirc I was right.

As noted earlier, some of the displayed values are incorrect. Asians have a much lower live expectancy than what's considered 'average' in fact they should be in colum 4 in place of the, Mexicans who barely have any noteworthy role in mainstream media anyway, or right next to the black dudes, whose death rate seems exaggerated.

Also, Action girls don't seem to live that long either, as noted by a previous criteria. This entire table seems to contradict itself.

There needs to be a larger number of personality, virtue and flaw options. I've tried calculating a mortality score for a lot of characters that don't fit any of those options.

The Love Interests column is way too oriented to male characters, considering that you have to make a baseline Mortality Factor by factoring multiple characters. I want Starsha and Nova factored correctly, dammit! I propose two rows: "Male love interest" and "Female love interest". Then not only would a work be able to fit LGBTQ characters - it could accommodate two love interests of different genders.
