Favorite Death Scene

[Superbeast]

From the Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman (forgotten which book, 2nd or 3rd):

Spoiler

where Lee Scoresby dies defending the gulch - both he and his hare daemon die a glorious death against a tide of enemies (and take a helluva lot of them, and a Zeppelin, with them)

.

Really gives you the feeling of being kicked in the nads.

Or, from Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davis:

Spoiler

When Peppa is killed by the Sgorrla "assassin" in the ravine. Really, really unexpected and a total tearjerker, especially the effect it has on Bankfoot and Tain

It's kinda sad that a lot of people view so many death scenes as comical even though some of them weren't intended to be.

Kakashi's death in Naruto.

Spoiler: Death Note

L and Light's deaths. Light specifically - I was so disappointed in him.

Spoiler: Code Geass

Lelouch's death was also incredibly depressing, because he was my favourite character...but it was awesome.

Man, everyone's name starts with an "L."

WHY L!!!!!!
light's death was very stasfying to me. (probbly i live seeing the antagonist getting his, especaly if he kills my favorite character.)
i love gannon's death in Whind Waker.
the game started out as cute and childesh then got darker, and darker, and darker untill finaly gannon gets a sword planted and then watered in his brain.
loved it.

Kakashi's death in Naruto.

Spoiler: naruto

kakashi dosent die

 

[quiet_samurai]

The end of Blade Runner[i/].

Marv in Sin City.

In Titanic[/i] when the guy falls off the boats stern and hits the propellar on the way down. More of a random death than a death scene , but still farking great.

 

[hippykiller]

probably The death of Emperor Palpatine in Episode VI when Darth Vader throes him over the rail. PURE EPIC!

 

[Casual Shinji]

Special Agent Milton Dammers in The Frighteners.

Spoiler: Death Note

L and Light's deaths. Light specifically - I was so disappointed in him.

Spoiler: Death Note

L's death is my favorite main character's death. Light wins, L solves the case before he dies, everyone wins. Light's death was just sad because of how ungraceful it is. I really wish Light would have died with some dignity.

 

[Superbeast]

Actually, I think this is the most awesome (extended) death-scene from a movie. Ever.

Mainly for the duel leading up to it - because holy hell, that's something I think is fairly unique to the movie world. Would have been better if it was all GrimDark and futuristic and not comic, but ah well - them's the breaks.

Wolf's death was the first fictional character's death that made me cry. For about a whole day.

Spoiler

Archie's death. How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard. How fast are you gonna run? As fast as a leopard. Then let's see you do it! Running and getting gunned down, the camera freezes.

It's all right. I used to have a bad habit of casually spoiling games and movies, but I'm trying to get better at it.

I was pretty amazed by it. I didn't think he would be one of those characters you can kill off. I agree that it was an excellent plot device. It fits perfectly for Naruto's future inspiration and training.

Spoiler: Death Note

Death Note was unique for me. It was a nice set up, but I didn't have any attachment for Light and L. It was a big chess game with the loser dying. I appreciate both character's determination to outwit one another, but that's about it. The quick flash backs of L's life prior to his death didn't win any points from me.

Spoiler: Code Geass

Code Geass.... that left a lump in my throat. The last few episodes took you on an emotional roller coaster ride. I couldn't decide if Lelouch was admirable or just an ass. In the death scene, I felt bad for Nunnally more then for Lelouch. But she also brought back his humanity when she forgave him. He knew he was going to have to die, but it was all for his sister.

Watch Gran Torino to the end. You'll understand.

Spoiler

Clint Eastwood takes his lighter out of his pocket. The gang he's confronting thinks that he's drawing a gun, and shoots him, earning all of them a one-way ticket to prison.

[small]Yes! First working spoiler tag![/small]

Can't go wrong with a Dirty Hairy Death, though LEFT4DEAD moments make me yell in destructive maddness. They have does "DAMN IT!." moments.
