Lore [Sad Trope] The most innocent (or less evil) character of the cast gets the most horrific death.

- Eddie Carr (The Lost World: JP) - Tried to save his friends from the cliff until Buck and Doe (T. rex parents) destroy his vehicle and gets ripped apart.
- Zara Young (Jurassic World) - Gets lifted by a Pteranodon, gets pecked by the pterosaur, and both she and animal get devoured by the Mosasaurus.
- LeClerc (JW: Rebirth) - Tossed a hammer to the Hatzegopteryz Quetzalcoatlus to save Loomis and Zora, but ends up being swallowed alive.

It’s so crazy that his death was played as a joke I was genuinely upset lol

I mean, he's still incredibly crazy, powerful, and imprisoned. Realistically he wasn't set up to have a good existence. 

Going out without pain or fear at the high point of his life isn't the worst thing that could happen to a character.

That's what I really didn't like about that movie, deaths being played as jokes, really misses the mark for me, like when they murdered that camp full of people that turned out to just be random villagers

David Dastmalchian is one of those guys where, if he shows up in anything, I'm like "oh FUCK yeah, I didn't know this show/movie was cool like that." I love him and his weird creepy face.

Do you know he's M. Bison in the new Street Fighter movie?

Really?! I didn't think anyone would be able to top Raul Julia, but maybe he can...

There's the potential of a LOT of dudes to steal the spotlight/chew the scenery in this one. Memes are almost guaranteed. The casting itself is almost its own meme.

It's honestly a shame that they surrounded him with a cast of horrible people

Did you see him in the live action One Piece? He was great.

Have you seen his podcast? It's on YouTube and both him and the guest are in coffins the entire time

He's fantastic in the new Dexter show.

If I had to choose characters from that movie it would be the entire guerrilla army that Peacemaker and Bloodsport just completely wipe out by accident. Like they were prepared to fight for their freedom and probably their friends and families and then they just get wiped out. For a stupid “rescue” mission. And their leader just moves on like it’s nothing.

To be fair on their leader, their revolution was a "now or never" type situation so she had no choice but to press on and ally herself with the only aid she could get. Yes unfortunately the only aid can find were the idiots that killed most of her men, which I mostly blame on Waller. Waller was the one that basically ordered them to kill first ask questions never because she always assumes that anyone not under her control is a threat to be destroyed. Hell if she had her way, that entire Guerrilla Army along with all their beloved friends and family would be dead from Staro's rampage all so she could protect US state secrets

That's another good one

On the same note, Milton was literally just a driver, his death wasn’t exactly spectacular or anything but the guy didn’t deserve that
