Good list, except like always, WatchMojo missed at least one obvious choice. This one being No Country For Old Men. The protagonist Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is killed offscreen by either the antagonist Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) or the cartel. Chigurh then kills Moss’ wife and gets away with everything. While it’s true that the death did take place off screen, it definitely should’ve been on this list since it was A: A villain killing the hero AND his wife. B: It was a very shocking death. C: The villain gets away at the end. D: The movie won 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Killing the hero at the end while vanquishing the bad guy, dying randomly, dying without anyone (or nearly anyone) knowing they were a hero, multiple protagonists dying...are all time-honored tropes, and often make for a great story, even when it's heart-breaking. (Not counting non-fiction, of course. "Boys Don't Cry" is nearly impossible to watch.)

The ending to Rogue One made their sacrifice that much better knowing what happens in A New Hope. Had I never watched the 1977 movie, I would have felt like I did after The Empire Strikes Back. I was NOT happy with Solo's death, although the tender touch to his son's face was a nice touch. The original three dying was probably needed to pass the torch to another group of Jedi. It would be an interesting story if Finn was a Jedi but tempted by the Dark Side because of his conditioning as a Storm Trooper and his need for revenge against Phasma.

My first thought was Arthur Kipps from The Woman in Black, and then I started going a bit deeper. You could technically say that David and Jack from American Werewolf in London classify as protagonists killed by antagonists. Jack definitely was, but if you think about it so was David. The werewolfs curse was the true villain of the story, and although it was the police that shot him, David would've never needed to die if it wasn't for the curse. This means that Seth Brundle from The Fly also counts, but that's a very complex story because there is not one true villain. Seth himself is one for allowing himself to get into the state that he was when he used to teleportation pod, the fly is one for going into the pod with him, but Stathis could also count because he's the one who made Seth jealous in the first place, which therefore means Veronica is also form of villain. I am very sorry if you had to read all that, I needed to get it all out haha

@stevetheduck1425 3 ай бұрын

The film of The Woman in Black distorts the book so much. The book begins with Kipps telling the story many years later, having managed to create a good life for himself after the events of the story. The shock 'bad ending' was an invention of the TV Ghost Story series version. The book has yet to be made into any visual medium.

An additional one, if you ever do a follow-up list, 1985 movie Young Sherlock Holmes. It follows a teen Sherlock, Watson, and a Sherlock love interest named Elizabeth - yes I am sure that you have already guessed which of those three teens is killed by our villain. While I am sure today it is not that surprising, especially after a decade of dystopian teen movies, that a teen protagonist might be killed; back in the 80s when most teens were watching Back to the Future or John Hughes movies it was a huge shock that they would actually kill her off rather than come up with some other explanation for why she didn’t show up in the canonical Sherlock stories.

OA I was hoping to see Red killing Adelaide from the Jordan Peele movie Us. But still I like these choices. 😊😊😊😊😊

If I'm not mistaken, The Wicker Man had a sequel that showed that the main character was actually saved at the last minute by an arriving force of police.

Its not a sequel. Its a scraped ending for the original.

There's no sequel or anything to the original movie from 1973. The genre is called folk horror and is popular predominantly in Britain.

There is a 1988 movie with a very similar premise starring Kelly Preston called Spellbinder. Basically, she is the designated sacrifice, but when the guy comes to save her he takes her place. They have the tease with some police showing up, but then they quickly put on robes showing they are part of the cult.

"Kills a hero" would be a more accurate title as some of these don't feature the main protagonist being killed, which the narrator even has to clarify in the opening.

Makes you wonder how often good people are framed for horrific events.

@@gjhoward honestly yes. History is told by the survivors. God only knows how much the picture would change if the dead could tell their story

I remember watching Arlington Road as a kid on HBO and was shocked how not only did kill Jeff Bridges character but get away with it and probably go on to do another terrorist attack. Also Promising Young Woman killing the protantist was shocking af.
