For me, it was always Optimus Prime from The Transformers movie.

    Put in there just as a cheap way to get emotional reactions from the audience, it’s the story telling equivalent of having the dog in the story die.

      Especially since his death didn’t really do anything. He didnt sacrifice himself or saved anyone and his death wasn’t discussed much after the initial shock. I assume he had to be out of the picture so Harry could go Horcrux hunting, without him interfering

        To me it just felt like the unfairness of real life. Sometimes people get a shit hand of cards at life, and their death is just quiet and pointless and has no sense or reason to it.
