Lagertha stayed retired and lived out her days unstabbed.

[clickyraptor]

Agreed.

I’m Gonna argue with you on Rachel because our warrior girl wouldn’t have hated going out like that. To the contrary I think she was very aware Jake was playing a Queen Sacrifice game (she was many things but never dumb and, more importantly, she knew her cousin well) and walked into it anyway.

I will however agree about Abbie. That death served no purpose except to piss off everyone and ruin the series.

And Norrington. He went through it, to hell and back, was betrayed and betrayed, hit rock bottom, found his spine and soul, and then died for Lizzie and stayed dead? In a series where staying dead almost never happens??? Bullshit. He deserved better.

I must be one of the dozens of people who have consumed all of the Norrington/Elizabeth Swan fic on AO3 lol

[floatinglately]

rachel’s death is honestly perfectly in character and thematically incredibly in keeping with the series and its insistence on being as honest as possible with its young intended audience about what war really means

unfortunately my emotional and spiritual well being depends on tobias and rachel sailing happily into the sunset so sorry about your art katherine!!!

I knew Rowling was stank when she did Dobby the way she did. In my head he helped Kreacher lead the house elves in the fight in Hogwarts and then got drunk with Winky after Voldy was dead.

I threw my book across the room over Hedwig

[anterrabre]

That was bullshit too. What did that bird do to anyone?

At least she made her death quick, and her dying and the Firebolt getting destroyed set the theme that childhood was over.

the internet ruined him with the infamous stretching though, its always what comes to mind now for me smh

[ahkna]

These are some good ones. My main one is Tara Thornton. Never happened.

[anterrabre]

That and her horrible mother's redemption arc still makes me mad.

[ponyboy]

they did tara so insanely dirty that i'm glad i got out before that.

[setsuna16]

If memory serves, didn't they also just have her die OFF SCREEN?

Like, one of the characters comes back covered in goop and they're like "this was Tara."

[kerosene_pill]

I ignore so many deaths lol Carrie White & Tommy Ross did not die and they totally got married and Sue Snell became her bestie.

Basically every death in Wolf's Rain (minus like Darcia duh) because it wasn't necessary *sobs forever*

Tadashi Hamada absolutely is not dead. He is living and thriving with Baymax <3

CSM spoilers for non-manga readers: [Spoiler (click to open)]Power, Aki, and Angel are not dead! Nope! Still alive! and Pochita is actually now somehow out of Denji's chest and they all live together as a happy family :))))

Alfred Pennyworth ain't dead! I rebuke it! (in reference to the comics rn specifically)

Padme is not dead and furthermore, Anakin did not turn to the dark side (shut up let me have this!!)

Let me stop because I could keep going lol but also, a blanket any and all animals in media have not perished, they are all alive and well!!!

[itsme_eloise]

tadashi was too hot to die

[sluttyroyals]

No cause i also firmly live in the fantasy world where Carrie White is living her best life in hiding. I will support her wrongs!

[spellmanian]

I always forget Alfred is dead bc I honestly lost interest in the main Batman comic after that tbh
