| 1 | * Although John Boone's death at the beginning of ''Red Mars'' is clearly not good, it probably doesn't have a huge emotional impact given that you don't know anything about him. After seeing that he was, though flawed, a benevolent person with an incredible ability for bringing people together, it becomes clear what a tragedy it was that he was killed. And his [=POV=] section ends just before Nicosia. |
| 2 | * The death of [[spoiler:Arkady Bogdanov]] in 2061, which is just the start of many horrors. On the start of a promising day of rebellion and revolutionizing society, the transnationals pump his rebel city's tent full of oxygen and then set it on fire, immolating everyone within. And this becomes a standard tactic for them. |
| 3 | * Nadia's reaction to discovering said immolated tent settlement. She promptly enters HeroicSafeMode. |
| 4 | * Against all odds, [[spoiler:Frank Chalmers]] dying in a flood after getting the car unstuck. Despite being a singularly unpleasant person [[spoiler:who arranged the assassination of his old friend and the most conventionally heroic person in the story]], after getting to know him through his own point-of-view makes hating him much more complicated. |
