It's not like they could possibly make it right for you, could they?
"NO IMPORTANT CHARACTER EVER DIES"
- important villain dies
"NO HERO EVER DIES"
- hero dies
"NO NAMED HERO DIES"
-named hero dies
"OH OF COURSE THEY'D CHOOSE THE OLD ONE TO DIE"
with this trend going, you'd be annoyed when the main character dies and has to pass on his trait.
