10 Things Movies Need To Stop Doing IMMEDIATELY

There was once a time when the sight of a beloved franchise character being cut down in the thick of battle or making the ultimate sacrifice for their loved ones left an audience reaching for their tissues and cursing a studio for killing off their fave.

Nowadays, though, the chances of just about any fan favourite presence being taken out of the mix for good on the back of a supposed death have becoming increasingly slim.

Time and time again, studios have completely undone all of the work they put into crafting a genuinely impactful end for a character by eventually revealing said death to have been little more than a fake-out or temporary way of adding emotional weight to a feature.

Take the likes of Loki's tragic end in Infinity War, for example. Despite Thanos even going as far as to clearly state "no resurrections this time" after snapping the God of Mischief's neck, Tom Hiddleston was back as another variation of the character in his own series in next to no time, largely diluting an otherwise heartbreaking character conclusion.

Star Wars has also seen countless returns from the grave via either the Force or cloning, and the DCEU killed off Supes only to have him inevitably return in the Justice League, too.

Is it really too much to ask for the end to actually be, you know, the end on the big-screen?
