Can we trim this down a bit? The trope is FAMOUS Last Words. We don't have to list every single thing said by every single character, no matter how minor (and several of these are barely above extras) just because they said it a few seconds before they died. Shouldn't we save it for things people say before they die that are actually vaguely memorable, significant, or meaningful?

For example, Quicksilver's last words fit the description of Famous Last Words. Kurse's most certainly do not- they're just the last words he spoke on-screen before his death several minutes later at the end of the subsequent action scene.

I agree on this. If there's any disagreement on a certain quote then we can discuss it here and add it again if there is a consensus.

The main page of Famous Last Words clearly states that:

"this trope is not simply for the last words a character says before their death. If Bob says "Hmm that's interesting" because he sees an eye-catching billboard while walking home, then two minutes later he gets hit by a car while crossing the street and instantly killed without saying another word, that is not sufficient to count as this trope. The trope is called Famous Last Words, not just "The Last Thing Someone Says Before Death"."

So yeah, I think I will remove those that clearly don't fit the trope; there are some that are a bit ambiguous so I'll leave those for now.

Is it really necessary to give the cause of death in the example? Most other last words pages don't do that.
