For me, it was always Optimus Prime from The Transformers movie.
First time I saw Wash die in firefly was brutal.
More recently, after watching better call Saul I am heartbroken over Mike’s death. Particularly for Stacey and Kaylee.
Mike Ermentraut was an amazing character. They built him so well as a fully 3 dimensional broken man who still held on to a sort of moral code, warped as that was.
The actor was excellent and portrayed ‘old-man strength’ perfectly. The pain he held inside but never even seems to really understand was written on that bumpy face. But you knew and really believed that he struggled to show his kind of love to the remnants of his family. Mike died as a fully human being.
Howard’s death hurt me the most out of all of them. Not sure why.
I guess because he was an innocent guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. They just wanted to fuck with the guy just a little but instead they tore him down and destroyed him. It just feels bad.
Namaste! They built him well too, but differently. He might be one of those ‘good times, noodle salad’ people. Well intentioned, cosseted, smart in a narrow way and so so naive. The clincher was dumping him in the same hole as Lalo Salamanca. Dirt doesn’t know the difference, but the audience did.
