So this is a contest I've wanted to do for a while now, but it's been tricky because, of course, there will be potential spoilers galore. This will be a contest about which
fictional deaths are the coolest, most brutal, most satisfying, etc. (rather than strictly about the best character that died)
A few rules to help:- Because spoilers are already gonna be enough of a worry, no nominations from anything released 2021 or later.
- For now each person can nominate up to 10 deaths.
- PLEASE censor the character(s) but include the source material they are from uncensored.
- You can double one nomination by bolding it.
- Three nominations will secure a spot in the competition.
Clarification on what is considered a "death"
- If a character disappears in a way that they cannot come back from, or that they no longer have any sentience of their own, it counts as a death. This includes things like characters being erased from existence, made to have been never born, possessed in a way that destroys the mind/soul of the host, becoming a zombie, etc. This does NOT include a character driving away and not showing up again.
- Multiple characters can be included in one nomination if their deaths happen simultaneously and in the same situation (ie. explosions). But if their deaths happen at the same event, but in separate ways (ex. Final Destination beginnings) count them separately.
- A character death will still be considered valid if they are later reincarnated, reborn, etc. so long as the death was itself legitimate.
- Please keep it to confirmed deaths. It's technically ok if the death technically happens offscreen, but try to avoid situation of "character's fate is unclear and never resolved"
- If a character dies a bunch of times for some reason (like one of those branching reality games or whatever) please specify one time.
Hoping for the best with this!
