Rocky IV {Spoiler}Apollo Creed. They could have done everything they did, had he simply been crippled for life or whatever. Heck, it could have created great character development for both Rocky and Apollo being able to interact and go into their relationship as it has now changed with Apollo being an invalid. I don't think the story would have changed any, except Apollo would have been there either cheering Rocky on to "avenge him" or being terrified and taking the Adrian role and trying to talk him out of it. Maybe then return Adrian to being the supportive wife instead of the angry "why do you have to box, my boxer husband?" that she became. I don't know. For something like that, if you're going to do it then go all the way with it.

Supernatural {Spoiler}Bobby, he was their father figure and mentor and I feel that making him a ghost was just trying to get Jim Beaver to stay around but this season just feels weird without him Lost {Spoiler}Charlie, I know he was suppose to die but it was still sad to see him go and I think he should have stayed a little bit longer

Supernatural Lost {Spoiler}Charlie, I know he was suppose to die but it was still sad to see him go and I think he should have stayed a little bit longer Speaking of LOST {Spoiler}Mr Ecko - I know the actor wanted out, but his character was on of the most interesting guys on the show.
Michelle Rodriguez's character... Yes drink driving is bad, but let the law deal with her, don't wreck the pace of the show by killing off her character.

I remember as a kid the chick on Captain Power getting killed off depressed me greatly.

Weeds{Spoiler}There was a cop that was killed off. Not saying he should not have been. But it was the manner in which he was killed off. See Nancy had to decide between setting this cop free or having her drug lord boyfriend have him killed.... and she choose to let him die. I don't care if the drug lord was the father of Nancy's baby. I lost all sympathy I had for her after that, and it killed the show for me.

Gundam SEED {Spoiler}Kinda. Fine with him dying; made quite a heroic and sudden moment, but there's no point in it if they were just going to make him miraculously survive in Destiny. Heck, it would have been better, or at least more interesting, if the Mu in Destiny was actually a clone.

Supernatural {Spoiler}Bobby, he was their father figure and mentor and I feel that making him a ghost was just trying to get Jim Beaver to stay around but this season just feels weird without him I didn't mind that. Supernatural {Spoiler}Zachariah, Trickster/Gabriel, Bela Talbot, Ronald, and Rufus. This show has a history of killing off secondary characters. Okay, Ronald was only in the episode that he was killed, but he was awesome and they've mentioned him afterwards.

The X-Files{Spoiler}The Lone Gunmen: Yes, there were only five episodes left of the parent series and their own spinoff had been canceled the season before, but killing them off was entirely overboard. They were the loveable comic relief for nine years, with enough fan support to even warrant trying a spinoff to begin with, and you lock them in a sealed room with a flesh-eating plague? Jesus Christ! I remember barely caring how the series ended at that point.
Krycek: At the end of Season 7 and throughout part of Season 8, Krycek was being built up as the new big bad, following in the footsteps of the CSM. The show was actually building momentum towards the end of Season 8, with Doggett finally finding his niche, Skinner's role being increased, and Krycek manipulating both sides of the conspiracy. So what does the show do? They have Skinner shoot him in the end. That would have been great for the series finale, but he was the LAST VILLAIN THE SERIES HAD LEFT, leaving Season 9 to be mired in ridiculous "Super Soldiers of the Week" like Lucy Lawless. Battlestar Galactica{Spoiler}Starbuck: Yeah... okay. Granted, she came back a few episodes later, but by their own admission they had no game plan for this storyline. I'm still convinced the finale would have been better received had Starbuck had a different explanation for her return rather than "she's an angel, but different from those other angels. Uh... okay?"
Billy: Yeah, the actor wanted out or was being difficult. Whatever. Killing him was just a spiteful move that wasted a season-and-a-half of character development and made Duella seem detestable up until her own death. Lost{Spoiler}Eko. Again, the actor wanted out, but the show had invested too much in the character for him to go out the way that he did. At least give his death a bigger purpose other than giving Locke a reason to travel north.
Shannon. Well, I felt this way at the time, but the finale helped turn me around on this. Regardless, I think it would have been interesting if Sayid's island relationship continued until they both got off of the island, only to be confronted by Nadia. As it stands, he never had to deal with both relationships at the same time, but I'm still pleased with the narrative fakeout of Shannon actually being his true love in the flash sideways.

Misfits (UK series){Spoiler}Simon, I don't know if the actor wanted to leave. But it looks like the writers wrote themselves into a hole with his death. Now the show has only one of the original characters left in the series.
The show is still alright. But it does not do it any favors when most of the original cast is no longer on the show.

Titanic {Spoiler}Fabrizio. At least one from the 3rd class should of survived and he was an upbeat character who I wanted to have good things go through for. Then again, his presence would of given away Rose and she would be stuck with Cal. X-Men 3 {Spoiler}EVERYONE!!!

being human UK {Spoiler} Yeah it's a show that kills just about everybody but...
Ivan - There was so much more mileage to get out of his character, somebody who barely gives a f*** about anything but still operates at a semi-normal level (for a vampire) is interesting.
Daisy- Wasted with an off-screen death, could have had some interesting interactions with Hal.
Tully - Another stupid off-screen death, could have been useful with Tom looking for his pack or in the cage-fights.
Wyndham - Should have died but on-screen
McNair Sr- Shame he couldn't have just parted ways with Tom and reconciled later but it's understandable why they killed him.
Nancy - Should have been made a vampire
Personally I think a few more of the Old Ones should have lived too.
George and Nina should have lived too but there was nothing the writers could do about Tovey wanting to leave so the ending they came up was sadly necessary Harry Potter - Any number of deaths in the final battle especially those off-page.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace {Spoiler}For the amount of buildup he got and the amount of potential he had, Darth Maul should have stuck around longer. Taking an interesting character and turning him into a mere speed bump was a waste. {Spoiler}Easily solved though, as the next movie was Attack of the Clones, but alas, Lucas didn't went there...

Betty Ross. she was only killed off because Peter David was going through an ugly divorce and Betty was his wife's favorite character. he even admitted later he really regretted doing that. if there was one redeemable thing about Jeph Loeb's run on Hulk it was bringing back Betty.
Wasp's "fridging" in Secret Invasion was pretty pointless too. and she was dead in the comics at the same time her cartoon counterpart was becoming one of the most popular character in the show. it lead to great development for Hank Pym, but Wasp herself was treated as so forgettable that the very notion of killing her off felt pointless beyond Joe Quesada's stupid "married people are boring" memorandum.
Hawkeye, Vision and Ant-man (Scott Lang) all got killed off abruptly and stupidly only for the first 2 to be undone almost right away and the third one also eventually being brought back.
y'know, let's just put every single character other than Captain America that Marvel's killed off in the last 6 years here. they all come back so quickly that killing them off in the first place seems pointless. they don't even bother showing what the world is like without them. people may complain about Superman coming back after he died (I call these people "idiots" because they actually thought it was permanent) but at least he stayed dead for a good long while and the writers actually bothered explaining the effects of his abscence. Marvel's constant Crossover fetish and need to kill off a character every quarter has turned something that was already treated as a joke into something that literally nobody gives a shit about anymore.

24 {Spoiler}I'll give them almost any other character death, but Curtis did NOT need to die. You have a guy who's almost on par with Jack Bauer and you just kill him in the middle of the episode with no follow-up or mention afterwards. Ugh.

Rocky IV {Spoiler}Apollo Creed. They could have done everything they did, had he simply been crippled for life or whatever. Heck, it could have created great character development for both Rocky and Apollo being able to interact and go into their relationship as it has now changed with Apollo being an invalid. I don't think the story would have changed any, except Apollo would have been there either cheering Rocky on to "avenge him" or being terrified and taking the Adrian role and trying to talk him out of it. Maybe then return Adrian to being the supportive wife instead of the angry "why do you have to box, my boxer husband?" that she became. I don't know. For something like that, if you're going to do it then go all the way with it. You do have a point, but they already did it with {Spoiler}Micky so why rehash that once again? I just think more good could have come out of the series with {Spoiler}Apollo being alive.
