Deaths I cheered for: The Mist, District 9, Silent Hill (movie), Quarantine
Deaths that made me sad: Fushigi Yuugi, FFVII, FFX and FFX-2, Persona 3, Lord of the Rings (movie)
Religious ***** in The Mist. Seriously, the entire theatre started cheering.
Wheelchair leader of the weapons gang in District 9. Just awesome. Fired some kind of probe into his head that blew his entire body up.
Pretty much all the townspeople in the church at the end. I felt Alessa was justified in doing it at that point.
Noisy reporter girl at the end. FINALLY! Thank you movie. She was so useless by the halfway point.
Deaths that made me sad: Fushigi Yuugi, FFVII, FFX and FFX-2, Persona 3, Lord of the Rings (movie)
Nuriko in Fushigi Yuugi. Man, I bawled my eyes out. I haven't actually seen the other deaths, though I do know who else dies. But that one still gets me.
Aeris in FFVII. Probably because of the music more than anything else, but I remember crying a little.
Tidus in FFX. Bawled again. Many people don't like FFX-2, but I was really glad for the closure it gave. One of the few times I really wanted a happy ending. Speaking of FFX-2, Leene and Shuyin's death scene while Yuna's singing 1000 Words really hit me. Their expressions just said so much, that kind of sad but resigned "Well, it was good while it lasted" look.
Shinjiro in Persona 3. I hate, hate, hate it when games kill off one of my playable characters. I might mention Chidori here too. Not so much that I liked her, but Junpei was my favorite character, and it was hard to see his heart broken like that.
Boramir in Lord of the Rings. I was already crying because I thought Gandulf was dead, then when Boramir finally redeems himself, he gets shot with not just one, but multiple arrows.
Just because Light was the protagonist doesn't mean we have to root for him. This is the first series I have seen where the readers decides who they want to root for; rather than having it decided for us by getting it shoved down our throat.MaxTheReaper said:
Ryuk was going to kill Light anyway. Ryuk even says it himself. I am just sad that he did lose his composure and went psycho.
yea... i have already said i was sorry and will accept lashes on the morrow.MaxTheReaper said:
now as for light.
Death Note blurred so many lines and played so many tricks on the brain and even its on plot, yhat it was hard not to love/hate all the main characters.
But i vew Light as the antagonist because even though his cause was a just and he truly wanted good, as time wnt on he started killing innocents and then just anybody he thought got in his way. his ego and fear started to consume his true motives and he began abusing his powers destroying his own life and those of the ones he loves.
Oh yeah, I remember that. That left me a bit empty inside. At the time, I was wondering what my gf was crying about since I started the series a few years later.sarahvait said:

I heard that Curtis...
And also yeah the deaths on that thing are nasssttyyyyy.
MaxTheReaper said:
Truthfully, by the end of Death Note, I really wanted Light to be stopped. And it was rather satisfying to see him freak out the way he did. After all his deeds, all his boasting he was a God, in the end he was just as scared and flawed as any other normal human being.
Ugh I am having a serious brain freeze but I know someone died in Red vs Blue and it really got me going... urg who was it? Ohhhh Church! That was amazing

AHAHAHA! Love that scene.
Church-"I just want you to know...I hate you. I always hated you the most."
Tucker-"Yeah, I know. Now hurry up and die, you prick."
Church-"Okay. HURRRR...BLEH."
And of course the great line, "You shot Church, you team killing fucktard!"

Death Note - L dying, although it was kind of pointless when his boring Doppelganger shows up to keep the plot rolling
Final Fantasy 7 - Aeris dying. Pretty common knowledge now but shocked me at the time
Layer Cake - When the main character dies at the end, after all he's been through and just gets shot because of the one tiny loose-end he didn't wrap up. Just as he was about to get out of the crime business too! I mean I guess the point is 'you can never get out', but for such a small point...Ah, it caught me off guard for sure
This is token text. So if you don't open any spoilers then you at least can be safe in the knowledge I wrote something.
"Favorite" death scene? Well, I don't actually like death scenes unless something really cool is going on. I can appreciate tragic deaths, but that doesn't mean I like them.
Anyway, my favorite death scene off the top of my head is probably
The last parts covered with <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNvsGRzw-ys>very appropriate music.
Of course, then you have to deal with the aftermath of that Ending. Specifically, the depressing effect on Sakura.
Like this...well, borderline. It was an incredibly awesome scene, but the actual death caught me absolutely off-guard.Braxton said:I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but you can't forgetKamina. It was tragic
Anyway, my favorite death scene off the top of my head is probably
Shirou Emiya's death leading into the Heaven's Feel Normal Ending. He's already dying slowly from the power of Archer's arm. But starting with him and Rider killing Dark Saber, to his breaking Sakura of Angra Mainyu's influence...
...to his epic fistfight against the also-dying Kotomine... A fistfight between two men who have only minutes to live, each trying to either kill or simply outlast the other. Shirou manages the latter with a sudden memory of Sakura and a subsequent come-from-behind beatdown, letting him avoid death long enough for Kotomine to kick off...
...to his final act before his brain is destroyed, projecting Excalibur and destroying the heart of the corrupted Holy Grail, he dies a truly badass death.

Dian Wei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, epic death scene.
Daniel Jackson's first Ascension in Stargate SG-1, moved me to tears.
Kate from NCIS, end of series 2? Never saw it coming. Just so sudden.
Aries in final Fantasy 7, I'd not played a game where a main character died, it was just this huge shock for me.
Boromir from LotR, the film version, sucker didn't go down!
