After finishing the TV show "The Following," I pondered the question, "Which fictional deaths have stuck with the most throughout my life?" After asking my close friends and family, I narrowed down my list to the select five. Also, I would just like to add apologies for whatever spoilers may be included in this article.
1. Mufasa, "The Lion King"
Betrayed by his brother, Mufasa is often overshadowed due to the fact that most people saw "The Lion King" when they were so young that they regularly forget the great king.
2. Uncle Ben, "The Amazing Spiderman"
Due to Uncle Ben's death not being in the main plot of "The Amazing Spiderman," his death often gets forgotten. His calm, humble personality reminds us that bad things actually do happen to good people.
3. Marley, "Marley and Me"
Watching this movie multiple times does not change the sad fact that Marley passes away at the end. Inevitably, it always leaves me and many others in tears.
4. Ellie, "Up"
One of the scenes in animated movies that tug at the heartstrings: when Carl's wife Ellie passes away and he is left alone. Although he is alone, it is soon forgotten, as he goes on the adventure we all wish we could experience.
5. Rue, "The Hunger Games"
One of the few tributes that believed in Katniss when nobody else did. The sweet tribute from Distract 11 that was the youngest in the games at the time reminded Katniss of her little sister and caused Katniss to want to protect Rue with her life.
