What fictional character's death had the biggest effect on you?

s15r330

Fictional, I know, but you can get really attached to your favourite characters!

Fair warning, there will be spoilers ahead.

I have just finished reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

The death of

Oy the Billy Bumbler

has me so upset!

I finished the book Sunday and i'm still thinking of it. I understand some characters have to die off, but the way of his death was so unnecessary.
Such a cool character.

I'm just gonna pretend it didn't happen :pac:

Can be any fictional character, TV, movies or books.

Edward Malus in The Wicker Man, when he got all stung by the bees.

Think it moved everyone to tears...of laughter...

Otherwise, the main characters in Blackadder, in a different version of "going over the top".

Nana Royle.

Fry's dog Seymour.

Poussey in OITNB.

Rosie Rant

Nanna in The Royle family and John Coffee in The Green Mile. 😢

Noveight

Brooks in Shawshank. Gave me a new appreciation of my grandparents and elderly people in general.

If I'm lucky enough I'll grow old and be exactly where they are now and the year 2017 will be talked about like it's ancient history.

It should be, but I think it was such an obvious story development that it didn't have the impact it could have.

Certainly impacted me! I don't ever remember crying while reading a book before. I think it was the way it happened, the conflicting emotions and trauma. Heartbreaking.

Fcuk that whole episode.

Omar Little took me by surprise, that was brutal.

I think realistically though it was Jack in Titanic Disclaimer: I was a prepubescent male-fancying person when Titanic came out and I think Leo is very firmly lodged in the sexual psyche of a large portion of that demographic. I wore out that tape, or I wore out most of it, I wasn't able to handle him dying so I'd just stop right as they were going into the water. EVERYTHING IS FINE HE'S STILL ALIVE.

I know she was a rat, but she was duped into being a rat, the FBI taking full advantage of her air headedness and big heart to snare her.

Outlaw Pete

Paul Hennessy in 8 Simple Rules.

John Ritter took ill on the set and died shortly afterwards and the episode that deals with Paul the character dying is actually the cast also simultaneously dealing with John's death.

I loved the show (and Three's Company of course) and so that made it sad enough, but for me it effecting me more personally as when I watched those episodes (Goodbye 1 & 2) my own Dad had just died that week too. I hadn't actually even turned the TV on since I had came home from the hospital or until the funeral was over in fact and when I did, those two shows came on that night back to back.

Actually, the following three or four episodes were all about coming to terms with loss also and so they were apt timing for me anyway but hard damn work watching them.

It was horrible, i'm actually sorry I read it now. No need for the way he died at all, it was cruel I thought.
