Like, I get why they're used, and I know they're never gonna stop being used, but I think I'm just over them. They happen so often in any semi-serious fictional narrative that they've lost all emotional impact for me. ESPECIALLY when the character who is supposed to be dead is revealed to still be alive almost immediately after the fact. Like come on, at least let it sit for a minute. It just feels like such a cheap emotional tactic to get audiences for a quick second, but then they're too scared to actually commit to the consequences of a major character actually dying. I'm at the point where I don't even feel sad about a lot of character's deaths until it's been proven that they're actually legit dead. And even then they still sometimes end up being alive. --- - The user formerly known as WafflehouseJK ... Copied to Clipboard!

If a character dies off screen, they're still alive until the movie/ series is over. --- https://warpzone.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/GRANDIA_-696x509.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I honestly think my enjoyment of media has shifted a lot over the years because of this. Recognizing patterns and writing methods has really taken the punch out of a lot of "surprises." You can start to feel when a character's arc is still in the middle of happening, so there's no way they'd actually be killed off. Or, you can tell that a character has been given a lot of screen time and insightful moments over the last episode or two, so the writers want you to remember how likeable they are before they die forever. It doesn't stop me from liking a show, but it does give me a new perspective on the nature of suspense and actually good writing. Good writing can surprise me still. Mediocre writing is still fine, but it's a lot easier to predict based on patterns. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fake deaths are fucking terrible. Especially when they're so abrupt and counter-narratuve it's obvious the character didn't actually die. --- sigless user logic ... Copied to Clipboard!
