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

Mike from Breaking Bad😔. Had to stop watching for a few days after that
!Shut the fuck up and let me die in peace.!<
Optimus Prime was a real shock for sure. For me it’s any animal death.
- Artax from The Neverending Story
- The dogs from Where the Red Fern Grows
- There’s a scene in the Sci-fi novel Armor where a puppy falls in a well and its owner, a child, unable to rescue it ,has to kill it by dropping stones on it to spare it drowning. I read that a long time ago, probably in the 80s, and it still haunts me.
One of my teachers read Where the Red Fern Grows to my class at the pace of a chapter or two every couple days (spare time in the lesson plan). I was impatient, so I got my mom to drive me to the public library, checked it out and finished the book that night. Had to wait almost 2 whole weeks before the class got caught up. I also didn’t want to spoil the ending for my classmates, so I just had to kinda hold onto the knowledge of the events and deal with it by myself while all the other kids were oblivious. Out teacher had us start watching the movie towards the end of the book, she had it timed perfectly so that the class (other than me) had no ideas for the back to back double whammy of loss that they were about to experience.
I had already read that book prior to my teacher reading it aloud in class. She couldn’t read that chapter, so I volunteered to, having already had my trauma from the scene. We didn’t end up watching the movie, though.
BT in titanfall 2, one of the only scenes that made my shed a tear
That’s a good one.
Saw it coming a mile away (i.e. from the start thanks to the protocol that says to protect the pilot), but it was such a good execution.
Rob and Catelyn Stark in the Red Wedding. So traumatizing!
Grave of fireflies. Just… Yeah.
Cyberpunk 2077 spoiler:
Tap for spoiler
Jackie Wells. Damn that broke me up; the whole buildup in Act1 to that scene was so artfully done. So immersed. Really felt like I lost my anchor and best friend in that fucked up life.
I’ll ride his Arch til the day I can’t. Not a scratch.

Riding a vehicle without ever letting it get a scratch in Cyberpunk 2077 is quite impressive. I think I “scratched” Jackie’s bike in under a minute when I got it in my first playthrough.
It’s a metaphor. :) Pretty sure I wrecked it completely within a few minutes lol. But the auto-insurance, what’s it like $50 eddies? covers the not a scratch part.
I still think about Aeries/Arith from FF7. Such a senseless death. It makes no sense. Literally was done just to elicit a response from the player. This segment alone is why I am upset that the second game in the Rebirth series isn’t on PC; I really want to know if that scene is going to be altered due to the weird storyline branches that come from the time-travel/alternate reality shenanigans that so far as I’ve seen from the first game, only Arith knows about.
The only other one I really think about randomly is your own character in Fallout 3. Fuck you Fawkes! I don’t believe in fate. Now get your green ass in there so nobody has to die!
At least Rebirth will be on PC in just a couple weeks, on January 23. No Epic exclusivity this time either.
The 10th Doctor.
I don’t want to go…
Dexter: when his wife gets killed and they pan over to that shot of her in the bathtub i literally threw my mouse against the wall.
2B from Nier: Automata…
I’m watching Outlander for the first time, just finished the first season and I can’t fucking wait for Jonathan Randall to die (if he does). I haven’t hated a character this much since Joffrey in GoT, and I feel even he wasn’t as bad as Jonathan Randall. Tobias Menzies is seriously great at playing psychotic, disgusting and pathetic characters.
