That whole ending made me sad asf, David bowies heroes playing in the background and pops watching the VHS from heaven is sadder when I rewatched it as an adult, a part of me died for sure
The finale gets me in a weird emotional place, but I don't think it's the show. I think there's something about watching characters grow up and live their lives and reminisce that pokes me in some hidden emotional place. Add Bowie on top of that, and I almost cried the first time I saw it.
Saving Private Ryan has two of the saddest, most brutally gut wrenching deaths I’ve ever seen on screen in Wade and Mellish. Wade trying to talk the guys through his injury that goes from panic and terror to acceptance of his own death as he cries out for his mother and says “I want to go home”? Jesus Christ. Mellish is brutal for all the more uncomfortable and raw reasons you’d imagine. War is horrific. Young men are sent off to die and their lives are cut short for no reason. It’s tragic and heartbreaking and this is one of the only movies to really nail that feeling
The way Mellish starts negotiating the minute he knows it's over is what I always think about. "No, listen to me, let's stop let's stop let's stop, no d-d-d-d-d-don't", nothing over-the-top, just sheer panic and you can feel this guy bracing for how suddenly death is coming for him, fucking gut-wrenching acting by Adam Goldberg
Wades monologue in the church the night before as well. Talking about how no matter how hard he tried to stay awake he'd fall asleep but act like he was asleep when his mom came home early.
Yeah this scene felt so real and visceral. Not saying the rest of the movie isnt, but him dying with others all around him trying to help but failing just really sucked and made me think about how many times in real life this happens/happened. Fuck war.
Henry Blake. MAS*H. The scene in the operating room. The actors weren’t told about it, just called back for one last scene shoot and Radar walks in and tells them. The silence is amplified by the sounds of instruments still working. Haunting
Piggy backing off this, the guy they tried to keep alive so his kids wouldn't remember Christmas as the day their dad died. That one gets me just thinking about it.
Mine was Tommy. He was turning his life around, getting educated, ready to become a free and honest man again, like what the prison should do for people like him. Only to be heartlessly killed to serve the greed of other people.
There's a passage in the book (around the time Paul and Brutal and Harry take John to see Melinda Moores) when they pass through the room that houses the electric chair and John remarks about Old Sparky and how he can hear voices coming from it, screaming.
You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time.
I remember watching this at the movie theater back when it first came out and bawling my eyes out. I didn't want people to notice so I tried as hard as I could to contain it until I turned back and saw the whole movie theater was crying. It was such a relief to finally let it out, lol.
I have never seen the fox and the hound, land before time or never ending story. I HAVE seen this scene, and that enough movie induced childhood trauma for me, thank you.
My son fell in love with this movie when he was 3 or 4, and every time that part would come on I would have to leave the room because no matter what age I am, I will always get emotional. Something about the music and the overall vibe that really just punches me in the gut.
I'm literally so attached to the clones. Every single death was just ROUGH. I mean Hardcase, Waxer, fucking JESSE. Echo, Hevy, 99... Jesus. That whole show was rough
As a die hard Spider-Man fan since childhood, I knew it was coming, and I'm so glad they incorporated her death into the film because it's one of the defining moments for Peters's character in the comics, but that didn't make it any easier to watch. I'm pretty sure my wife audibly gasped when it happened.
The fact that you don’t immediately realise she has died, then the slow realisation washes over you as Peter gets down & tries to hold her limp body up… 😢
Everyone in All Quiet On the Western Front. It’s so tragic to think that was the real fate of millions of young men fooled into fighting a completely pointless war.
I saw that movie in theatres and bawled my eyes out. According to my mum every parent in the room had a look of shock and dread on their faces as they all collectively realised the movie that had been advertised as a Narnia-esque romp was actually about to give their kids a crash course on death.
I was going to say this. Also, fun fact: in high school I played Leslie Burke in our production of the stage version of Bridge to Terabithia based on the book (the movie did not come out until many years later). Not a dry eye in the house. I peaked in high school.
And it turns out, he was totally queer. Which, as we all know, is a sin. And that, coupled with his radical religious beliefs, has most likely landed him in Hell, where he will burn for all eternity.
I just watched lion King with my daughter and I knew the scene was coming and I was worried it would be too hard on her. When Simba is like you gotta get up I was like NVM this is too much for my hormonal ass.
Alan Tudyk told a story somewhere about how he got "yelled" at at a Con for adding "I am a leaf on the wind" to his signature. The person got upset because it reminded them of Wash's death.
His death hurt so badly because it just rubbed salt in the wound because you knew it meant the show really was dead forever. Firefly died way too goddamn soon and I'm still bitter about that.
"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."
In memory of mako. Fuck I'm crying right now. That show made you care for a war criminal more than the main character. I'd watch a whole season of "irohs tea review" that character was too good.
It was Ser David’ reaction that got me. From finding the stag he carved for her in the remains of the bonfire to confronting Melisandre after the Battle of the Bastards.
This one really got to me because she was screaming for her parents to do something, and they just stood there. Nobody intervened. It's worse that it was pointless, but it would have been pointless, anyway. She didn't deserve that.
Honestly, Finnick’s entire character broke me. Not only was his death just so quick and brutal but it was the obvious PTSD and him watching Katniss fall into the same broken person he had been and trying to warn her against it. The things all of those characters through were horrifying, but Finnick really just hit me too hard.
Every time Jude law crawls into the goddam oven and fucking sets himself on fire fucking kills me (gattaca 1997), but dam I love that movie its a masterpiece.
I just got to that part about an hour ago. Even though I knew it was coming, it was still a gut punch. What I was completely unready for was his horse dying, and Arthur saying “Thank you” . I bawled.
Arthur talking to the nun about fearing his own death while waiting for the train absolutely hit me the hardest out of any piece of fiction or art. That was such a real moment so beautifully executed. RDR2 improved my human experience through that scene
I just finished RDR2 and I remember a few days ago after knowing his condition I always become super emotional just looking at how he looked. It reminds me of people I've lost as well and to be able to let the player feel grief by seeing the character you play as slowly deteriorate broke me so much.
I went to see this movie opening day. My mom texted me asking if I liked it and if I’d recommend it for her and her friend to go see. I said yes, but if I knew which friend it was, I would have said no. It was her friend whose dog just died, and my mom was taking her out to get her mind off of it… She loves her dogs the way most people love their children, and at that scene she had to excuse herself from the theater. I felt awful…
Charles is even more tragic IMO. He gets to spend his last evening in a nice home with good food and family. Then he's abruptly awakened by (fake) Logan in his bed, and then brutally stabbed.
I saw a tweet on twitter the other day which had the viewing stats from the walking dead seasons over the years. They dropped nearly 5 million viewers in the following week’s episode after Glenn’s death. Insane
Especially when the reporters uncover the timing of the 911 call. It’s awful to lose her and just a gut-punch when you realize that he really is just a selfish fuck.
Her death was quick, but it was so sad. She's been with Harry since first year. Even when he didn't hear from anyone during the summer. Those little moment they had like her being sulky since Harry didn't use her were so cute. But yeah, as a pet momma myself, I really felt her death.
John Marston. Red Dead Redemption. Worked hard to escape a life of crime, atone for his sins, become a good man, even worked to bring those who he helped do harm to justice, but in the end, he never could escape his past. His fate was sealed no matter how hard he tried. Just heartbreaking and made me sob when I played the game
Arthur sacrifices himself so John can be a family man. John sacrifices himself so his son can grow up and live a normal life. His death at the hands of Ross, a government agent, pushes Jack into a life of crime and vengeance. Absolute fucking tragedy.
That really fucked me up when I read it. Katniss starts the saga by sacrificing herself to protect Prim. A lot of people died along the way; Rue, Cinna, Mags, and Finnick were all painful. But I never imagined it would end with Prim dying, it still hurts
Thank youu, It was such a jaw dropping moment in the books when youre reading and get to het death and feel overwhelmed with this disappointment and anger because prim was just trying to do what her own mother couldn’t which was fight for her life and she paid the ultimate price…. A true martyr for the cause and such a heavy blow for me first time reading it through
Teft from the Stormlight Archive is just an absolute punch to the gut. The series as a whole already has so many scenes that can bring tears to anyone and this death was just painful.
Yeah, but on the other hand, you realize she died perfectly happy and fulfilled with her life with Carl, and there's far worse ways to go, then of old age after spending your whole life with the one you love most.
Him also being buried under the meth lab with Lalo just strikes me as very sad. Like it's just cruel that his body will decay next to the person that killed him in a place that is completely foreign to him. Also super sad to consider that in the context of Breaking Bad.
That episode really brought it home for me, like it just clicked in my brain. Oh shit, the whole point of this show is that Chuck was right. Jimmy is the bad guy. He can’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer and he’ll never change. The final season really made me feel so much sympathy for Howard and Chuck, who are more or less the villains of the show in the first few seasons.
Honestly I was really invested in GoT (up to a point) and Hodor's whole story and death were so depressing. Just one of those characters that deserved so much better
Owen Meany in John Irving’s novel, A Prayer For Owen Meany. I ugly cried for several hours after finishing the book, and years later I still feel like I’ve lost one of my dearest friends.
Ugh, I love Qui Gon from the books, been reading since I was in elementary school. That killed me. I hate that he died. I hate that if he hadn't died, Anakin would have had the mentor he needed, the man who could really teach him how to process his grief. If Qui Gon hadn't died, the entire Darth Vader stuff wouldn't have happened.
Stoick the Vast How to train your dragon
I saw it in theatres and a bunch of kids started to cry. Not like sniffing but out loud wailing. It added to the atmosphere.
Dude my dad died the week this came out. I went to see it to take my mind off things and see a fun movie about dragons. Absolutely devastating.
Those little shoes in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Forgot about that one! Watching those little guys get “Dipped” was the worst.
Broke little ol 4 year me, and 12 year old me.
Roy in Blade Runner
All the more incredible when you find out that Rutger Hauer made it what it was. Ridley Scott wrote something kind of cheesy, so Hauer fixed it.
I love it because it tells us that we have no fucking idea what this universe looks like.
The Iron Giant will ALWAYS have me ugly crying when he goes up to stop the missle
Arthur Morgan from rdr2 just seeing him slowly dying on the hill pleading to Dutch but Dutch just walking away leaving him to die was heart breaking
Fuck Dutch and Micah
The dogs in Where the Red Fern Grows
Came here to say this. This book destroyed me in grade five but also really demonstrated grief in such a profound way.
This was the very first thing I thought of. This book (to me) is a true classic.
The Iron Giant
“Superman” 😭

Leaves from the vine,
Pops from Regular Show
Definitely not Jolly Good
I AM NOT CAUGHT UP ON REGULAR SHOW WHAT
That whole ending made me sad asf, David bowies heroes playing in the background and pops watching the VHS from heaven is sadder when I rewatched it as an adult, a part of me died for sure
The finale gets me in a weird emotional place, but I don't think it's the show. I think there's something about watching characters grow up and live their lives and reminisce that pokes me in some hidden emotional place. Add Bowie on top of that, and I almost cried the first time I saw it.
Bubba in Forrest Gump.
Bubba died. Right there by that river in Vietnam....and that's all I have to say about that.
Saving Private Ryan has two of the saddest, most brutally gut wrenching deaths I’ve ever seen on screen in Wade and Mellish. Wade trying to talk the guys through his injury that goes from panic and terror to acceptance of his own death as he cries out for his mother and says “I want to go home”? Jesus Christ. Mellish is brutal for all the more uncomfortable and raw reasons you’d imagine. War is horrific. Young men are sent off to die and their lives are cut short for no reason. It’s tragic and heartbreaking and this is one of the only movies to really nail that feeling
The way Mellish starts negotiating the minute he knows it's over is what I always think about. "No, listen to me, let's stop let's stop let's stop, no d-d-d-d-d-don't", nothing over-the-top, just sheer panic and you can feel this guy bracing for how suddenly death is coming for him, fucking gut-wrenching acting by Adam Goldberg
Wade was guy with the stomach wound after getting hit by the mounted MG, right?
Wades monologue in the church the night before as well. Talking about how no matter how hard he tried to stay awake he'd fall asleep but act like he was asleep when his mom came home early.
Yeah this scene felt so real and visceral. Not saying the rest of the movie isnt, but him dying with others all around him trying to help but failing just really sucked and made me think about how many times in real life this happens/happened. Fuck war.
I think Mellish’s death was one of the first times I’ve ever had a visceral physical reaction to a film.
Henry Blake. MAS*H. The scene in the operating room. The actors weren’t told about it, just called back for one last scene shoot and Radar walks in and tells them. The silence is amplified by the sounds of instruments still working. Haunting
Piggy backing off this, the guy they tried to keep alive so his kids wouldn't remember Christmas as the day their dad died. That one gets me just thinking about it.
“Radar put a mask on”
The outcry from fans was so massive at the time that the producers promised to never kill off a main character again.
Ash in that Pokémon movie.. that scene where Pikachu goes up to him and starts crying
Brooks, Shawshank Redemption.
The world went and got itself into a damn hurry
Mine was Tommy. He was turning his life around, getting educated, ready to become a free and honest man again, like what the prison should do for people like him. Only to be heartlessly killed to serve the greed of other people.
"Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright."
Brooks was here (so was Red)
John Coffey in the Green Mile
There's a passage in the book (around the time Paul and Brutal and Harry take John to see Melinda Moores) when they pass through the room that houses the electric chair and John remarks about Old Sparky and how he can hear voices coming from it, screaming.

Please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark.
Rest In Peace Duncan, Rest In Peace
Ellie from UP gets me everytime
Sometimes I wonder how movies ever took off when the first ones were short with no sound.
“He can’t see without his glasses”
God damn bees.
I have never seen the fox and the hound, land before time or never ending story. I HAVE seen this scene, and that enough movie induced childhood trauma for me, thank you.
Little-foot’s mother’s death
My son fell in love with this movie when he was 3 or 4, and every time that part would come on I would have to leave the room because no matter what age I am, I will always get emotional. Something about the music and the overall vibe that really just punches me in the gut.
Fives.
I'm literally so attached to the clones. Every single death was just ROUGH. I mean Hardcase, Waxer, fucking JESSE. Echo, Hevy, 99... Jesus. That whole show was rough
His warning saved Rex and Snips.
The nightmares....they're finally over.
Gwen Stacy hitting the floor
As a die hard Spider-Man fan since childhood, I knew it was coming, and I'm so glad they incorporated her death into the film because it's one of the defining moments for Peters's character in the comics, but that didn't make it any easier to watch. I'm pretty sure my wife audibly gasped when it happened.
The fact that you don’t immediately realise she has died, then the slow realisation washes over you as Peter gets down & tries to hold her limp body up… 😢
Wilson from cast away
What an amazing film that a volleyball made me cry.
"WILSOOOON! I'M SORRY WILSON, I'M SORRY!"
My GOD I'd never cried over anything like that stupid volleyball
Boromir! My brother, my captain, my king
They took the little ones!
The entire sequence from losing Gandalf to the Balrog and Boromir to Uruk Hai...
Tadashi Hamada from Big Hero 6. Dude was working on a robot to help others and died in an attempt to help others. What a guy
“Someone has to help.”
Right?! I was like, "What the fuck is the point in finishing this movie now?!" I legit thoight the hero died.
Which makes it all the more painful when we later see how the person he tried to save reacted...
Matthew Cuthbert - Anne of Green Gables
Spoilers for Chainsaw Man (it won't happen in this season of the anime)
Everyone in All Quiet On the Western Front. It’s so tragic to think that was the real fate of millions of young men fooled into fighting a completely pointless war.
Leslie Burke, Bridge to Terabithia
I saw that movie in theatres and bawled my eyes out. According to my mum every parent in the room had a look of shock and dread on their faces as they all collectively realised the movie that had been advertised as a Narnia-esque romp was actually about to give their kids a crash course on death.
Omg, this one broke me. Totally unexpected & my daughter was around the same age at the time.
I was going to say this. Also, fun fact: in high school I played Leslie Burke in our production of the stage version of Bridge to Terabithia based on the book (the movie did not come out until many years later). Not a dry eye in the house. I peaked in high school.
Brandon Fraser’s characters in Scrubs
"where do you think we are?"
Honorable mention to Dr. Cox's patients who die from rabies/organ transfer.
I watched scrubs for the first time during the early days of the pandemic With my roommate who absolutely loves the show.
The first time I watched that ep was like being punched in the heart. Every time after I get goosebumps and want to cry but it's totally worth it
Artax
I swear that horse dies earlier and earlier each time I watch the movie. He's gonna die in the opening titles before I know it.
The worst part is he doesn’t just drown. He straight up just decides to give up living.
Artax was traumatizing at a young age
Country Mac.
(Toilet flushes) RIP Country Mac
And it turns out, he was totally queer. Which, as we all know, is a sin. And that, coupled with his radical religious beliefs, has most likely landed him in Hell, where he will burn for all eternity.
Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist/Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. His funeral always hits me so damn hard.
"Mommy why are they putting daddy in the ground? He has a lot of work to do" fuck you... just.... fuuuuuck
Nina’s death was rough too. More so in the 2003 series though imo.
It's a terrible day for rain....
Which led to one if the greatest rage-out moments in all of anime with Mustang.
Mufasa's death gets me every time
I just watched lion King with my daughter and I knew the scene was coming and I was worried it would be too hard on her. When Simba is like you gotta get up I was like NVM this is too much for my hormonal ass.
Not Penny's boat
Oh, Charlie. That was such a tough one.
Wash, pilot of the firefly class serenity. He's a leaf on the wind.
Curse Joss Whedon's sudden yet inevitable betrayal.
Alan Tudyk told a story somewhere about how he got "yelled" at at a Con for adding "I am a leaf on the wind" to his signature. The person got upset because it reminded them of Wash's death.
His death hurt so badly because it just rubbed salt in the wound because you knew it meant the show really was dead forever. Firefly died way too goddamn soon and I'm still bitter about that.
Watch how he soars 🥲

Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."
I’ve only read the book but surprised I had to scroll so far to see this.
I remember the cartoon from 1973 and she even sang a bittersweet song before she dies
Uncle Iroh singing to his dead son, dam now that was sad.
Especially because even when asked, his replacement refused to sing the song because it was Mako's song.
In memory of mako. Fuck I'm crying right now. That show made you care for a war criminal more than the main character. I'd watch a whole season of "irohs tea review" that character was too good.
That scene is a fucking masterpiece.
BT, Titanfall. Legit tears
Protocol 3, Protect The Pilot
Shireen Baratheon from Game of Thrones
It was Ser David’ reaction that got me. From finding the stag he carved for her in the remains of the bonfire to confronting Melisandre after the Battle of the Bastards.
This one really got to me because she was screaming for her parents to do something, and they just stood there. Nobody intervened. It's worse that it was pointless, but it would have been pointless, anyway. She didn't deserve that.
That wasn't sad, it was horrifying.
Arnold in Terminator 2
“I know now why you cry. But it’s something I can never do.”
Finnick
Rue
Honestly, Finnick’s entire character broke me. Not only was his death just so quick and brutal but it was the obvious PTSD and him watching Katniss fall into the same broken person he had been and trying to warn her against it. The things all of those characters through were horrifying, but Finnick really just hit me too hard.
Finnicks was fucking brutal, but yeah
Yondu, gardians of the galaxy
I think you mean Mary Poppins.
"He may have been your father, but he sure wasn't your daddy."
He didn't have the voice of an angel. But he sure had the whistle of one.
Every time Jude law crawls into the goddam oven and fucking sets himself on fire fucking kills me (gattaca 1997), but dam I love that movie its a masterpiece.
Arthur Morgan
I just got to that part about an hour ago. Even though I knew it was coming, it was still a gut punch. What I was completely unready for was his horse dying, and Arthur saying “Thank you” . I bawled.
Arthur talking to the nun about fearing his own death while waiting for the train absolutely hit me the hardest out of any piece of fiction or art. That was such a real moment so beautifully executed. RDR2 improved my human experience through that scene
He was a fine boah
I just finished RDR2 and I remember a few days ago after knowing his condition I always become super emotional just looking at how he looked. It reminds me of people I've lost as well and to be able to let the player feel grief by seeing the character you play as slowly deteriorate broke me so much.
Them is the feels right here.
May I? Stand unshaken
I cried like a newborn baby at Arthur's death. Then again, I think we all did.
I didn't even want to complete the game for the second time after I knew what happens to Arthur at the end.
The dog in I Am Legend.
Sam was the best dog.
I went to see this movie opening day. My mom texted me asking if I liked it and if I’d recommend it for her and her friend to go see. I said yes, but if I knew which friend it was, I would have said no. It was her friend whose dog just died, and my mom was taking her out to get her mind off of it… She loves her dogs the way most people love their children, and at that scene she had to excuse herself from the theater. I felt awful…
Wolverine in Logan, that was such a great ending to his story but damn if it wasn't sad
The cross being turned into an X was the perfect scene to end that version of the X-Men.
Charles is even more tragic IMO. He gets to spend his last evening in a nice home with good food and family. Then he's abruptly awakened by (fake) Logan in his bed, and then brutally stabbed.
Glen from the walking dead. Him looking over at Maggie as he was dying, destroyed me.
I saw a tweet on twitter the other day which had the viewing stats from the walking dead seasons over the years. They dropped nearly 5 million viewers in the following week’s episode after Glenn’s death. Insane
Grave of the fireflies.. both siblings
Oh fuck this movie completely. I've seen it once and yeah, never want to feel that way again.
Sarah Lynn bojack horseman
"I wanna be an architect..."
Me walking into that show, assuming it's a normal sitcom
Especially when the reporters uncover the timing of the 911 call. It’s awful to lose her and just a gut-punch when you realize that he really is just a selfish fuck.
It was too much, man
Zabuza and haku
The deaths in Naruto really got me as a kid. Still do.
Johnny on "The Outsiders". Stay gold, Johnnycakes..Johnny cakes... oops, he's dead.
Stay gold pony boy
Hedwig. Such a small death, but it really helped to show the pointlessness of war
Her death was quick, but it was so sad. She's been with Harry since first year. Even when he didn't hear from anyone during the summer. Those little moment they had like her being sulky since Harry didn't use her were so cute. But yeah, as a pet momma myself, I really felt her death.
John Marston. Red Dead Redemption. Worked hard to escape a life of crime, atone for his sins, become a good man, even worked to bring those who he helped do harm to justice, but in the end, he never could escape his past. His fate was sealed no matter how hard he tried. Just heartbreaking and made me sob when I played the game
Arthur sacrifices himself so John can be a family man. John sacrifices himself so his son can grow up and live a normal life. His death at the hands of Ross, a government agent, pushes Jack into a life of crime and vengeance. Absolute fucking tragedy.
That moment as the guns are pointed during the cutscene and you think "this is it"
Little foot's mother, from Land Before Time... Still recovering.
Primrose in the hunger games trilogy As a 12 year-old did not see that coming
That really fucked me up when I read it. Katniss starts the saga by sacrificing herself to protect Prim. A lot of people died along the way; Rue, Cinna, Mags, and Finnick were all painful. But I never imagined it would end with Prim dying, it still hurts
The scene when Katniss gets home and finds Prim's cat, and it hits her. I can't deal
Thank youu, It was such a jaw dropping moment in the books when youre reading and get to het death and feel overwhelmed with this disappointment and anger because prim was just trying to do what her own mother couldn’t which was fight for her life and she paid the ultimate price…. A true martyr for the cause and such a heavy blow for me first time reading it through
Teft from the Stormlight Archive is just an absolute punch to the gut. The series as a whole already has so many scenes that can bring tears to anyone and this death was just painful.
Chris Chambers in Stand By Me.
The wife in "Up"...
Yeah, but on the other hand, you realize she died perfectly happy and fulfilled with her life with Carl, and there's far worse ways to go, then of old age after spending your whole life with the one you love most.

Him also being buried under the meth lab with Lalo just strikes me as very sad. Like it's just cruel that his body will decay next to the person that killed him in a place that is completely foreign to him. Also super sad to consider that in the context of Breaking Bad.
What about
That episode really brought it home for me, like it just clicked in my brain. Oh shit, the whole point of this show is that Chuck was right. Jimmy is the bad guy. He can’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer and he’ll never change. The final season really made me feel so much sympathy for Howard and Chuck, who are more or less the villains of the show in the first few seasons.
Howard was introduced as the "villain", but he wasnt and the story line plays him out as a villain. But he is not.
Hazel in Watership Down.
Water ship down was a masterpiece
Beth in Little Women
This is the classic traumatizing death. Beth’s death has been breaking hearts for over 150 years.
Honestly I was really invested in GoT (up to a point) and Hodor's whole story and death were so depressing. Just one of those characters that deserved so much better
SPOILERS

as much as people hate the phantom menace, Quai-Gon's death still makes me tear up🥲
Ugh, I love Qui Gon from the books, been reading since I was in elementary school. That killed me. I hate that he died.

If Qui Gon hadn't died, the entire Darth Vader stuff wouldn't have happened.
