getting readers/viewers emotionally invested in characters and then killing them off brutally

I'm not sure if MOST popular stories do this, but it's a common theme, yea. As for if it makes a story great or not...I think if done right it can, but it isn't always necessary. It's an easy way to shake things up and get fans emotional, so it usually serves it's purpose, but sometimes it can be a bit much. It depends on the person and the series, really.

For instance: Spartacus. Just about every character I liked on that show died, and just about every character I hated did too. It was awesome and I have fond memories of it, but it was a depressing, depressing show. I can only be involved in a certain number of series that feel the need to pull that shit on a regular basis. It's too exhausting.
