Whenever they have a villain kill a dog or cat. Oh shit, so edgy, never saw that f***ing coming. Bunch of hacks.

The Fizzle Bomber's death in Predestination soured me on the ending since it seals the fate of the main character as never enjoying any semblance of free will for their entire miserable life.

John Wick...man I love that movie always have to fast forward through the part with his dog. I meant more when it doesn't have any storyline importance, there it is more appropriate since it actually sets up events and isn't just a quick "See, this guy's bad!", like if they just had a villain slap some random lady. Still awful to sit through that part, though.

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. I really like that Apollo Creed idea for Rocky IV. Apollo is a world class athlete, he IS his body and what his body can do. And it's just been taken away from him. That would have been a great character arc to explore. Of course Rocky IV was not subtle at all, and during the Rocky / Drago fight they would have had Apollo overcome his paralysis and get up and knock out Drago or something crazy.

Still awful to sit through that part, though. As soon as they introduced the dog, I knew it was gonna end poorly. That being said, I definitely agree that it really worked in John Wick because the whole film hinged on that moment. It wasn't a random throw away scene

Sandy in Grease.
Serious answer: well, this is TV, but I was totally hyped up against Michael in Lost when he killed Ana Lucia and Libby. I know not everyone likes the former, but I started to. And Libby cause of how he screwed Hurley as a result.

Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Departed". I get that he obviously wasn't going to survive the whole movie as a police mole infiltrating the mob, but did he have to get punked like that? Elevator door opens, game over. It is a surprise moment, don't get me wrong, but it's just a lame way for him to go. On top of it all, he gets taken out by a character you don't recognize and barely recall from the start of the movie and need like 20 seconds of exposition before you remember who the f*** he is in the first place.

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. TBF, Red Skull wasn't killed so much as he was absorbed by the Tesseract. But then again, seeing as they didn't take an opportunity to bring him back yet. Yeah, MCU has Burton Batman/Raimi Spider-Man Syndrome. Oddly, Schumacher of all people started to correct the former!!!!

Yeah, while not strictly dead, I very much doubt we'll see Red Skull again, so I threw him in there.

Curtis 'lemon head' Lemansky in The Shield. That Shane would kill him to cover his own ass, man I was gutted! Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, Shane poisons his own wife and child, then blows his own brains out to avoid capture. What a gut punch those were.....
Also, like so many on this forum, special mention for John Wick's dog.....

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. This. Though I wasn't sure whether to say it as it's the ultimate spoiler! I don't know if it was intentional or just Luc Besson missing it, but in the penultimate close up as he's about to escape you can see Gary Oldman in the shadows. I can't tell if it's meant to be that way (he appears properly in the next close up) or just Luc Besson not noticing him in shot. God....what a fantastic film this is.

Han Solo in The Force Awakens. Just....f*** you for taking away from us an eventual Han & Luke reunion, and Han & Lando reunion. I hear you, dude....I'm still not over it. Han dies, but Jar-Jar Binks goes unscathed for three films? Please... How about The Terminator in 'Terminator 2'? The thumbs up at the end is genuinely sad, not to mention the 'I know now why you cry.....but it's something I'll never be able to do' line.

People are playing a bit loose with spoilers in this thread. Yes, it's obvious that the thread will contain spoilers from the title but if the film's been out less than a year then show a bit of consideration and put it in tags.

The Mummy: Benny should have never been killed off. The jailer too. They were both great and would have helped the sequel a lot.
Without them, the sequel just felt lacking.
If someone had to go then Jonathon should have as he added very little. His routine was played out by the time the sequel came out.

Neil in Dead Poets Society because of the backlash against Keating that followed.
Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Christian Bale's character in 3:10 to Yuma.
Maggie in Million Dollar Baby. Gosh, that was rough to endure through.
