Oh, and X Dies: Difference between revisions

Be warned that as a [[Death Trope]], there will be '''unmarked''' spoilers below.

 

 

== Anime And Manga ==

** Subverted in that {{spoiler|Batman doesn't die. He gets sent to the past, and that doesn't even happen in the RIP arc.}}.

* During the [[Blackest Night]] [[Crisis Crossover|Crossover]], Superboy-Prime [[No Fourth Wall|is trying to find out what happens to him next in the crossover]]. Alexander Luthor later lets him know by saying "Spoiler alert: Superboy-Prime dies next issue."

** Played straight with "The Death of Jean DeWolff" by [[Peter David]].

* ''The Death Of [[Ultimate Spider Man|Spider-Man]]''.

 

== Live Action Television ==

{{quote| Rose (VO): This is the story of how I died.}}

** Subverted {{spoiler|in that she didn't actually die, but got stuck in another dimension, and as a result is officially presumed dead in "ours".}}

* A flashforward in ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'' reveals in advance that {{spoiler|Jin never makes it off the island}} and even shows his gravestone. However, he survives the explosion that you're meant to think killed him. Another at the end of Season 4 reveals {{spoiler|John Locke dies as well.}}

* [[Played for Laughs]] on the [[Tonight Someone Dies]] episode of ''[[Arrested Development (TV)|Arrested Development]]'', when the one non-recurring, non-celebrity character from the trailer montage says GOB could "[[Death By Racism|charm the black off a telegraph boy]]," and the narrator chimes in with "OK, we'll just tell you right now: she's the one that dies."

* In the series finale of ''[[Star Trek Enterprise]]'', the final adventure of the ''Enterprise'' NX-1 is shown as a holographic recreation by [[Star Trek the Next Generation|Will Riker and Deanna Troi]]. At one point, they sadly look at Trip, and Troi mentions that he didn't know he wouldn't make it back. {{spoiler|Trip performs a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save the ''Enterprise'' and [[The Captain|Archer]]}}.

* On an episode of ''[[Cinematech]]'' that crossed over with Gamespot, [[Giant Bomb|Jeff Gerstmann]] finished up a summary of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' as such: "And oh yeah, [[It Was His Sled|Aeris dies]]."

* In Season 4 of ''[[Fringe (TV)|Fringe]]'', September, an Observer, appears from the future {{spoiler|when he gets shot by Jessica}} he tells Olivia that, "in every possible outcome you have to die" when she is waiting for Lincoln and Peter to return from the other side. {{spoiler|In the season finale she is shot and killed by Walter to prevent the collapse of both Universes, however, she is resurrected by the Cortexiphan in her system (debatable fullfillment of September's prophecy).}}
