For me this begins & ends with Aliens...credit to James Cameron for actually making you care for all the marines but no matter how many times i watch the deaths of Hudson,Apone and Vasquez still hit me...i dont just mean mean in the story and movie sense but they actually are such cool characters you would actually love to see them again in other movies. No matter how many times you see the character die you feel a ceratin..loss in the movie when they do.
I know good characters die in movies & its expected like Obi Wan in Star Wars but what characters for you have completely bummed you out once they were killed off?

Leon in Leon. Yeah, I know he had to die and we get the bittersweet ending with Mathilda going back to school but he was so damn close to escaping! At least we get "this is for Mathilda" before he goes out (quite literally) with a bang.

Alien 3, everyone in the opening credits.
Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire. It didn't ruin the show for me, but it was such a downer.

Dr. Neville in I Am Legend. Just because the original ending was better than that Focus Group Test crap.

Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire. It didn't ruin the show for me, but it was such a downer. I'm going with Nelson. He was by far the most interesting character and the only reason I continued to watch. Once he died, I was on autopilot the rest of the time. Yes, I know he was an asshole, but he was the asshole who never truly got ahead. Richard was cool, but even he became a running joke of depression when he came back. That role made me a fan of Michael Shannon. On the other hand, I'm amazed at how uninteresting they could make Steve Buscemi.

Cyclops in X3, especially since he wasn't supposed to die in the Phoenix Saga. Wash in Serenity... just a punch in the gut because he was one of the more likeable characters in the group James Norrington in Pirates Of the Caribbean At World's End.

Gwen Stacy in Amazing Spider-Man 2. It feels like the only reason they killed her was because they killed her in the source material, but her death in the movie lacked all the significance and impact that her comic book death had and just came off as pointless. Doesn't help that it killed getting any more Andrew Garfield/Spider-Man movies and I just felt he was perfect in the part.
Somebody else said Norrington from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but Weatherby Swann's (Elizabeth's Dad) death always got to me more. Here's a fun, generally nice guy, mostly used as comic relief up until now, and he gets killed off-screen, his last acts before his death seeming to be signing the order for a mass slaughter of what I assume were falsely accused prisoners. Such a horrible and unnecessary death.

Wash in Serenity. just reeked of Wheddon getting pissed off that one of his shows wasn't pointlessly depressing for once. I'm a big fan, but he needs to let that cliche of his go and lighten up a bit.

Quicksilver's death in Avengers Age of Ultron. While the X-men movie version of the character used the powers in a more cool way, I thought the Avengers version was the better looking and better acted one. Dumb that they killed him off so stupidly.
I agree with both Norrington and Weatherby Swann's deaths in Pirates 3. I thought Norrignton had potential as a sort of Javert type in the sequels after the first movie, but the writers seemed to have absolutely zero clue about what to do with him. Total waste of a potentially great character. Then they brought back Barbossa, and I thought that was dumb and pointless.
Penguin in Batman Returns. His death was just so...out there and dumb...he really just should have gone to jail.
The guy who shoots a passenger...then himself in Titanic. After finding out what a heroic man he was in real life (and he NEVER shot a passenger) and that Cameron has some burr up his ass and won't apologize to his family, makes me really feel horrible about his dumb movie death.
Apollo Creed, hindsight is 20/20 I guess, but I think it would have been more impactful if he'd been permanently crippled instead of killed.
Han Solo in Episode VII. I loved Han. I thought the expanded universe showed all the stuff that he could have done. I don't get Harrison's mad hate for the character and his reasoning ("He has no papa, no mama, so he just needed to die to make the others fight harder.") reeks of absolute bullshit.

He also manged to go out like a boss. Richard f***ed up his assassination by inadvertently killing his contracts daughter, gets shot by some nameless thug before then crawling down to the beach and dying.

Wash in Serenity... just a punch in the gut because he was one of the more likeable characters in the group James Norrington in Pirates Of the Caribbean At World's End. Add Shepherd in Serenity to that. Reportedly both he and Wash were killed off because neither Alan Tudyk nor Ron Glass would commit to another movie or series should Serenity do well enough to re-launch the show. In the end it just felt like a couple of arbitrary deaths because Whedon's gotta Whedon. And Norrington dying in At World's End really pissed me off because I loved his character arc over the first two movies, and then literally the only thing of note he gets to do in the third movie is die. As for some of my own, pretty much every antagonist that has been killed off in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ultron, Dr. Zola, Baron Von Strucker, Iron Monger, Whiplash, Lauffey, Alexander Pierce, Red Skull, Ronan... all characters you could get more than one story out of.

Libby who was Ellen Page's character in 'Super'
I know it was supposed to be a dark comedy. But that moment just killed the mood completely. She was just a great insane character and out of nowhere, she's gone.

That last season was so absurdly kill-happy to the point it just became comical. I compare that to how The Wire handled major casualties leading into their finale, aside from Omar and maybe Cheese it wasn't that bloody. Marlo's ending I felt was handled especially well, more effective than just seeing him get plugged.

Just....f*** you for taking away from us an eventual Han & Luke reunion, and Han & Lando reunion.
