What fictional character's death made you the most angry/seemed the most pointless?

I admit that I like death in stories. Like Joss Whedon, when I write I don't shy away from tragedy, but rather try to include it. Maybe it's because of the amount of death I experienced when i was young, it just seems real to me.

That having been said, I don't like when people kill off characters just because they are tired of dealing with them.

Uh, no specifics, other than Valerie from Hogan's Family.

Cyclops in X-Men 3, as I pointed out in the other thread. he died only because Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry were more popular, despite the fact that he was integral to the story in a way Storm certainly was not. And he wasn't even given a dramatic, meaningful death. Just 15 minutes of moping followed by an off camera kablooie.

Incidentally, the most utterly indifferent I have ever been to the death of a fictional character was when Ronald Reagan died.

Ianto Jones. No reason, no point. Any character development given to Jack due to it, could have been done another way. Pointless.

Eh, for me it was Paul Ballard in Dollhouse. It was irritating, it was done quickly with little emotional resonance, I even tend to forget that they did it when I look back on the series. The results were emotionally flat and also really messed up-- even more than the show's norm. That particular character death was not a favorite o' mine in regards to Joss.
