37 – Most well done character death

I don’t know. Marvel has a problem in that they often rush their deaths. Or that they are used as a plot device. Many villains are slaughtered without much fanfare and then you have the “heroic” sacrifices that are mainly there to give some pretend gravitas to an endfight… 

Maybe Peggy Carter. It was devastating and cruel, how we saw the once so strong-minded Peggy succumb to old age and everything that comes with it. But it was also very real and it doesn’t happen that often (especially not in superhero movies) that we see that. Someone simply dying of old age. It wasn’t heroic, it wasn’t beautiful, it wasn’t some epic sacrifice, not a larger than life moment. It just was. But they did show it. Peggy didn’t disappear from the MCU once she wasn’t valuable as a hero any longer, they treated her with respect. Even if it was to show how Steve is out of time. They still treated Peggy with dignity and gave her story time and an end.

Thank you very much for asking, dear anon. 🙂
