Spoiler-Alert!
This article will be about the deaths of some of the main characters. Some heavy spoilers about Marvel's Iron Man, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, VIII: The Last Jedi and IX: The Rise of Skywalker, as well as Logan - The Wolverine, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Lord of the Rings and the musical Hamilton are therefore unfortunately unavoidable!
When I think back to my last visits to the cinema, many exciting, thrilling and elaborate productions come to mind. No problem, no threat (e.g. the extinction of half of all life?!) is so great that the screen heroes and heroines would not and must not face it. One element, a certain motif, appears very often at the moment - at least in my opinion: important characters die. However, they are not simply killed by a villain, no, they sacrifice themselves to defeat evil and save the day. To save (human) lives.
