could have already been said Tracy, the Mother in How I Met Your Mother killed so the long, long ago played out thing of Ted and Rob could end up together Every time I see the show on tv while flipping through channels, I just say to myself "none of it matters, Ted ends up with Robin", and change the channel.

It sucks because the few bits we do get with her, she's really damn likable. I sure would have f***ing liked to meet the Mother more.
Like, I could totally live with "the mom dies" if it hadn't made it feel like such a "So anyway, Robin" like they did.

Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron. I loved Aaron Taylor-Johnson's take of the character but he gets killed off in one movie? What really pissed me off is that I found the MCU version of Quicksilver far more interesting than the one from the X-Men movies yet that's the one who survives? Real life wrote the plot there (the then-chasm between MCU and Fox) I guess the X-Quicksilver got more attention because of the lulz, I honestly don't remember much about the MCU version though. Then again Age of Ultron was pretty forgettable in general.

Mr. Eko on Lost. His character and storyline were fascinating and had lots of possibilities but they killed him off quickly and sloppily tried to wrap a bunch of stuff off. I wonder how he would have played into the long term plans for the show if things had worked out with the actor.

Agreed. Killing her is so played out, they even made a joke about it, with Gwen Stacy seeing the multiverse and being horrified at how so many versions of her die premature deaths. It's up there with killing Uncle Ben in terms of "WE GET IT". Sadly, that's just given way to another annoying trait: for every billion universes where Gwen dies premature, there's a billion universes where she becomes Ghost Spider...leaving the mainstream comic version less and less unique. Also, by having her live, you don't exactly quash the smart-alecs who'll ask "Ok, when is she banging the Green Goblin and having his super-twins?" I don't really mind, Spider-Verse canon Ghost Spider was the bomb, and even with original Gwen's posthumous character development (as in, actually getting one), the Ghost Spider from the comics is pretty much a different character altogether with how she's written.

Not necessarily pissed by it, but Triplett dying on Agents of SHIELD was kinda disappointing, even if it was to add a bit of drama to Daisy’s Inhuman transformation.

Yeah, he was a really interesting character and they had only scratched the surface with his backstory.

I mean, they hinted well enough along the series that the mother didn't make it, and I was prepared to see the show be a 'post-funeral reflection with the kids' kinda thing... ...then they had to retcon everything the characters learned over the years and exposed all of the worst character traits for them. Seriously, outside of Marshall, not a single one of them were redeemable by the end of the series IMO.

Newt in Alien 3. It was totally unnecessary and did nothing to enhance the plot. And I really think the natural way to extend the story arc of Ellen Ripley would have been to show Newt growing up more under her tutelage and ultimately stepping up to fill her shoes.

That's not what I meant. It's not the original Gwen that's not unique, I meant the mainline canon Ghost-Spider Marvel are pushing isn't unique because there's so many of her in the multiverse, from cartoons to movies. Gwen is destined in the multiverse to either die or live a hero, and the 'originals' are left to the reader as being just collateral. This has always been the danger of having multiverse characters, they detract from the investment of the principle heroes.

Hank in Breaking Bad. Stringer and Frank Sabotka in The Wire. Han Solo in The Force Awakens. Hell, actually that should be top of the list!

Robb and Grey Wind dying in A Storm of Swords was heartbreaking but, the final blow for me was Catelyn.
Let's recap, shall we?
1. Her husband's head is on a pike at the top of the red keep.
2. She watches her father lose his mind before slowly dying.
3. All while her sister has holed herself up in the Eyrie and abandoned them.
4. Santa is a Lannister hostage.
5. Arya is dead for all she knows.
6. Her former ward has taken Winterfell.
7. Last she heard of Bran and Rickon? They were dead.
8. Now she watches her son's allies murder him in cold blood.
9. Then, after all that, she finally breaks down. At which time, a Frey slits her throat.
Took me a month to keep reading after that.

Knowing how it ends and honestly, Barney is the worst of them all, but he's just presented as this lovable guy.
