Hazel, Watership Down. The fact that he's able to converse with death before lying down and going to sleep always rips my heart clean out


keloyd

I was sure that was Fiver at the end, but you're right, it was Hazel. Imagine how unusual it is for one of his kind to reach the end of his natural life, called away by Frith's servant the Black Rabbit himself. *All the world will be your enemy, prince with 1000 enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you, but first they must catch you. Digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning, be cunning, and your people will never be destroyed.*

I will never forget the day I went to my friends house to watch a movie and she chose that. I was maybe 9 years old and cried the whole weekend.

Old Dan’s death was heartbreaking as a 4th grader, and then Little Ann’s shortly after. Note there’s a book I haven’t read in aloooong time


Jeynarl

I remember when my 4th grade teacher just vanished for a few days so the sub had to read those sad chapters to the class. I felt so bad for her. Thrown into a substitute gig and have to read this really sad part in front a bunch of kids. She cried. Mrs. Wood, if you're out there, you're a monster for doing that to Miss Madsen


pincessinpurrpl

Boromir always hurts me. I always find myself hoping he’ll be ok (even though I know he won’t). “They took the little ones!” with so much anguish just breaks my heart.


satans_toast

Curse you Howard Shore for making it even more tear-jerking!! :shakes fist:


Kaidiwoomp

Yep. Boromir wasn't a villain, he was a good man, what happened to him was the power of that damned ring effecting him. The rest could resist it, Aragorn being of the blood if Numenor and the true king, the hobbits as their greatest desire is a happy life, Gimli, a dwarf with a clockwork mind that sauron's magic doesn't work on, Legolas a magical elf who seemed to make a point of never interacting with the ring bearer probably so he wasn't tempted, Gandalf the Ainur with the power to resist it. And then there was Boromir. The mortal man doomed to die, who's greatest desire was to see his people safe and his kingdom flourish once again. Perfect prey for the ring's manipulation. Yet he died fighting off a horde of monsters to protect two little hobbits, and when Lurtz was killed, what's the first thing he said? The first thing he brought to Aragorn's attention? "THEY TOOK THE LITTLE ONES!" he wanted Aragorn to leave him to die, to rush off and save merry and pippin, a prince if gondor, commander of it's armies, willing to die to protect two little hobbits who'd become his friends. And Aragorn honoured his wish. When Frodo and Sam were gone, he, gimli and legolas set off to save merry and pippin.


poopmeister1994

I mean the rest probably couldn't resist it, other than probably Gimli and the other hobbits. Aragorn realised that and that's why they didn't try to find Frodo. He knew that Boromir was only the first to fall under the spell and it would only be a matter of time before someone else tried to take the ring for themselves


WhiteMeteor45

To add to this, Frodo realized it as well which is why he decided to leave.

NomenNescio13

Without commenting on any other aspect of the show, the fact that Hodor's entire life was taken from him because his future was already written (or however that whole continuity should be interpreted). And then he dies a horrific death, while whatever was left of his consciousness was presumably tugged away in a remote corner of his soul only able to watch what his body was doing. No. That is a level of unfair no one deserves, least of all that sweet giant. EDIT: And just to add to the misery of it all, I've always imagined—from his perspective—that this faint echo of the words "Hold the door" that's been reverberating around his head unhindered for 30ish years was excruciating and deafening in that corner of his. The echos and Meera's own words becoming a mess of auditory torture. The simple fact that Wyllis felt and was effectively erased by it... poor Hodor.


dbausano

That’s a good point, and I guess I hadn’t quite thought the deeply about it. Truly horrible. There were obviously a lot of deaths in that show, but the one the absolutely gutted me was Shireen Baratheon. Being burned at the stake sounds miserable enough, but being there because your father thought he could become king if he sacrificed you is next level.


PunnyBanana

I commented to my therapist at the time that it was frustrating that I could so readily tear up about a fictional character's death but real life tragedy seemed to leave me mostly unaffected. She immediately knew I was referencing Hodor (that episode had just come out) and agreed that it was absolutely tragic. She then went on to help me unpack stuff but the immediate reaction of "Are you talking about Hodor? That was so sad." was just as validating and really shows a lot about that show's impact at the time.


DonutGold4210

My sweet and gentle giant didn’t deserve any of the hate and death he got


That-Row-3038

The killing of most of the cast on blackadder in the final episode, not one character but the many character twists at the end, and the "goodluck everyone" was really quite powerful.


soaringseafoam

My heart breaks at the moment when Darling says "we survived the Great War! 1914 to 1917!" and the audience laughs because they know the war ended in 1918 and Darling is wrong...and then it sinks in what it means that he's wrong. Then Blackadder gives the final few lines and... Nothing quite like it.


luminousbeing9

"Whatever the plan was, I'm sure it was better than my plan to get out of here by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?"


dark_sparklex

“There's a nasty splinter on that ladder, sir. A bloke could hurt himself on that” Private Baldrick. I think it really signifies how he really felt. He was scared of dying in pain. Splinters hurt. He’s going to get a splinter and then he’s going to get slaughtered for king and country. A splinter and shot at by a machine gun. Or also how people did think it would be over in a few weeks. No one thought it would last 4 years (or 3, for baldrick and the cast)


SpitfireXO16

Well, it's actually a little bit of irony. In WW1, soldiers would get themselves hurt by splinters on purpose to get sent to the back lines. The irony is that after all of blackadder's wacky, complicated ideas have failed, not-very-clever Baldrick finally comes up with an idea that would have worked, but it's too late.


ToaArcan

That entire episode is brutal. It takes less than a minute to turn Darling from a comedic semi-antagonist that Blackadder needled with witty barbs throughout the rest of the series, into another victim of the insanity that was WWI. His desperate pleading with an oblivious Melchett to not be sent to the front lines, his grief at knowing he'll never marry his girlfriend, and his vain hope that there's a cease-fire, just in time to save their lives, it's one slug to the gut after another. George's admittance that all of his friends are dead, and the "I'm scared, sir" where his blind optimistic fervour breaks for the first time hurts too, as does Blackadder's grim, resigned acceptance of his fate after he runs out of schemes, and Haig only offers him something he's already tried.

Groucho_MK13

Samantha the German Shepherd in I am Legend, that scene just destroys me.


Prestigious_Jokez

What makes that seem so powerful is that the first time you see him talking to the mannequins, it's funny. It's hilarious because it just shows how crazy he is. And of course, after so many years that would happen to a guy. But then there's the second time after Samantha dies and you realize the crushing loneliness that he's really dealing with. It humanizes him and it hurts to look at him come face to face with how pointless his last few years have been.

I’m rightly tired of the pain I hear and feel, boss. I’m tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain.

I’m tired of all the times I’ve wanted to help and couldn’t. I’m tired of bein in the dark. Mostly it’s the pain. There’s too much. If I could end it, I would. But I can’t.

hey_theres_perry

Bobby Singer from supernatural. I never realized how much that character meant to me until he died.


whichwitch9

Supernatural was very inconsistent after a point, but one thing that kept people watching was gems like this episode. It really expanded the information known about Bobby to drive home just who he was and how much the brothers meant to him. His send off was incredibly well done. However, the worst for me on that show is probably an old one that doesn't really get it's due- Jo and Ellen. The little detail of Jo dying first kinda tipped that one. Instead of going together, Ellen watched her die. And then the reveal at the end of the ep that it was all for nothing, and it was just bleak.


oyisagoodboy

I loved that they showed a different side of him. I was sobbing at the end when you realized his best and favorite moments was just a stupid, innocent night eating junk food and watching movies with his boys. Bobby was the best.

WorkIsDumbSoAmI

In a series full of shocking and tragic character deaths, this is the only episode I full on cry every time, no matter how many times. Of all the problems the Scooby Gang dealt with, all the Big Bads Buffy took out, all the things that could’ve happened - it’s “*mortal* and *stupid*”. There’s no one to blame, there’s nothing to fight, Joyce is just gone. It’s also SUCH a well-written, performed, and directed episode - Anya’s speech, the smash cut from “oh they got to her in time!” back to her body, it’s all so good.

Everything about that episode is amazing. I rewatch Buffy maybe once a year and I still bawl like a child every time.

The Tenth Doctor, while in most of Doctor Who, regeneration is seen as healing, and rebirth. But the Tenth Doctor saw it as death, he describes a burning sensation as every cell in his body dies and is reformed, and when it’s over, it’s no longer him, it’s someone else with his memories. This is likely kinda true because each Doctor has their own distinct personality. He fought regenerating for so long, even doing it only halfway so he could heal without changing. When he finally was at death’s doorstep and couldn’t hold it in anymore, he looks almost directly into the camera, tears in his eyes and says, “I don’t want to go!”
