Honestly, yes, it does seem a little weird that you'd have to be attached to characters to have any sort of reaction to them going through the trauma of losing a loved-one like these scenes show. The whole point of scenes like this is to play on human empathy in order to get a reaction from an audience. It may or may not work, depending on the particular scene. But yes, most people, even though they know it is fiction, even though they know nothing about these characters yet, are probably going to feel bad for someone losing their wife/husband or child when they watch that loss on their screen.

But unless you wouldn't feel empathy towards a real life person experiencing this, I don't think it would be fair to say you don't have empathy.
