Idk, but I know what character death made me watch the rest of the series that I would stop otherwise.
It’s Tuvix ofc.Not one person in particular, but I gave up on ‘The 100’ after the space people decided to massacre the locals about two weeks after landing.
It seemed like the show was just one massacre after another at that point.
Shayla from Mr. Robot. I just lover her so much for some reason.
Sweets in bones. I hated him when he showed up. Then he won me over and then he’s gone :(
Oh, and I almost quit Angel multiple times back when it was a new episode every week. The first one because the actor died, I understood and it was sad but not worth quitting. The next because Charisma got pregnant? (Even though I didn’t know why Cordy was killed off then) Then the character of Fred, but at least she got a new character that I grew to really like. But hated how Wesley’s death happened. Darla’s death was pretty epic though. That show was so all over the place.
Joel’s death in The Last of Us. It was a bad idea in the second game and it had the same effect on the show.
L’s Death in DeathNote. Near was cool and all, but the entire story after L dies felt like an epilogue rather than a continuation of the plot.
I stopped reading the manga after L died, and decided to never even start watching the anime. Death Note without L was just worthless to me.
The anime is fantastic if you stop after L dies
My mom quit Game of Thrones because they killed the dog in the first episode
She made the right decision.
My wife quit GoT when Joffrey ordered the dire wolf killed. Same reason, kinda.
oh yeah, that’s the dog I was talking about
There were a lot of questionably sadistic choices made by the producers in Game of Thrones, but when the >!orphans!< were strung up burned to death I said to my parter ‘ok that’s last warning. The show isn’t good enough to endure this crap’.
Then the red wedding happened next season and it was full of sadism - unsuspecting soldiers gruesomely and gleefully murdered by their comrades, >!foetus stabbed in the womb!<.
And that was the last Game of Thrones episode I watched. I don’t have any desire to revisit it.
A fantastic production in every other sense, ruined by extreme sadism at every corner.
To be fair, both of these things happened in the books. Except the Red Wedding with regards to Talisa/Jeyne, but everything else happened. They were following it.
Alex death in the expanse. Rounded off the experience and end of the series but also marked the end for me.
The actor was asking 15 year old fans for nudes. It’s a shame because Alex was the best and is still around in the books.
The characters death came as a shock to me as it was too abrupt for a core member of the story. I immediately looked to see it something happened during production only to find there was credible accusations of sexual predatory behavior.
To this day I’m still pissed off at it all. He was great in the role, and was a fantastic ambassador for the show in social media and at conventions. Honestly seemed like he loved the character. To just ruin all that, plus causing difficulties for the show and his castmates, by sexting with fans was hugely disappointing.
Woodhouse and then Malory in Archer. i actually really enjoyed the coma seasons, but they’re damn good proof that you can’t come back home after you jump the shark.
You do know that both of the actors that played those characters died in real life, right?
yes, but that didn’t force the showrunners to paint themselves into a corner and then try to walk through the fresh paint as though everything was normal.
L from Death Note.
Kinda got boring for the other half, although Near-Mellow was okay after a while.
