For me, it was always Optimus Prime from The Transformers movie.

You monster
“Dogmeat has died”.
Oh no he fucking has not. Reload.

Joyce Summers. That episode of Buffy was a masterpiece.
Holy hell, that was so brutal. How she was just lying there, with eyes open and all
I just saw this for the first time recently. It hit me so hard that I had to call my therapist for an extra session. The look on her face was identical to my father’s when he passed.
My mom died when my sister and I were approximately Buffy’s and dawn’s ages, respectively. It was an absolute gut punch to watch for me too.
Ugh…Just laying on that couch… Can’t defeat natural causes with a wooden stake.
Sirius Black in Harry Potter. I had to go back and reread the paragraph several times, then put the book down. Seemed just so unfair.
Put in there just as a cheap way to get emotional reactions from the audience, it’s the story telling equivalent of having the dog in the story die.
Especially since his death didn’t really do anything. He didnt sacrifice himself or saved anyone and his death wasn’t discussed much after the initial shock. I assume he had to be out of the picture so Harry could go Horcrux hunting, without him interfering
Technically, Sirius is the dog in the story.
Robin Williams as the Bicentennial Man. The movie was okay; his performance was amazing. I’ve struggled with mortality for a while, like I expect a lot of people do, and to see him as a character who started their existence immortal, and to choose mortality. His death in the movie hit me much, much harder than I expected. I haven’t watched the movie again since my first viewing because I’m honestly afraid of going through that again.

Underappreciated great movie; and the book is good too. (The Positronic Mang)

Up wrecks me as an adult
Ellie’s death is impressive because it works despite the viewer only having known her for ten minutes with no spoken words.
Mufasa would be the most popular answer for us oldies.
Since 9 Sep especially, it’s been a rough scene to watch. It hits so, so much harder now.
Hazel from Watership Down.
NOT a children’s movie, mum!
OH MY GOD That movie caused me so much enotional damage as a kid
I was spared but my wife was damaged by this also. I watched it with her as an adult and couldn’t believe people let their kids watch it.

Oh, it was. They had us watch the movie after reading the book.
