Re: Favorite heroic deaths

[philstar22]

Boromir (both book and film), Celebrimbor, Fingolfin, Finrod, Glorfindel.

Buffy, though she comes back. Spock. Natasha in Endgame (found hers more moving than Tony's personally). Jyn and the entire Rogue One crew. Yondu. Groot. Luke Skywalker in TLJ. Obi-Wan in ANH. Vader/Anakin in ROTJ. Kylo giving up his power and life to heal Rey (one of the few parts of TROS I liked). Stoick dying to save his son. Londo's sacrifice of himself in Babylon 5 season 5. I also love Neroon's sacrifice of himself so Delenn doesn't have to.

The ending sacrifice of Miller in Event Horizon is one of the best and one of the big reasons I love that movie so much.

Honestly, heroic sacrifice deaths are my favorite thing. Just heroic sacrifice in general whether the character dies or not is my favorite trope.

(same anon as first reply above) Yes, that is also one of my favorite tropes, but the problem with trying to come up with my favorite examples is that a lot of them didn't actually result in death, or it was reversed somehow (which can be true of Gremio if you play the game right, but the actual death scene is so freaking incredible).

I'm not sure how I didn't think of Spock (and that scene is so great I just couldn't stop laughing through Into Darkness when they tried to play off it, because just... NO), and darnit if one of my favorite TOS moments wasn't the bit in The Empath when Bones hypos both Kirk and Spock against their will so he can be the one who gets tortured to death. But then, you know, he isn't, so that doesn't quite count here. Sure was awesome though.

Rogue One broke me into teeny tiny pieces. As did pretty much everything Londo Mollari ever did, for a variety of reasons.

(One of the things I loved so much with Babylon 5 and particularly Londo and G'Kar, though, was how it played so much with what sacrifice could mean and look like. G'Kar screaming for Cartagia was such a wonderful example of how avoiding death can be a sacrifice, when it broke and rearranged so much of how he understood himself as a person and a Narn. And then Londo follows it with a fucking long slow death becoming everything he never wanted for his people, knowing he has to if he wants Vir to be able to destroy and rise above him later. Oof. Those two were incredible)
