10 Movie Characters Who Should've Died (But Didn't)
3. Uncle Ben - Spider-Man: Homecoming
At this point, the only characters we've seen die more often in a superhero franchise are Thomas and Martha Wayne. Along with the Green Goblin, we've probably seen about enough of Spider-Man's Uncle Ben for now.
And yet, without the death of Ben Parker hanging over the MCU's Spider-Man, we can't help but feel that there's something missing from this iteration of the character - a vital element of the story that makes Spider-Man Spider-Man. To clarify, none of us want or need to see Uncle Ben die on the big screen again, but it would be nice for the old fella to at least get a mention.
