Another one bites the dust

It is October the month of spooky so to kick it off I have for you a list of the top three stupidest or over the top deaths I could find in all of media. This list is order of what I feel is the least worst to the very worst so without further ado let’s get the show on the road. 

3. Abin Sur (DC comics)

    Cause of death: crashed spaceship 

Hal Jordan’s origin story is iconic, cocky pilot comes across a crashed spaceship and a Ring that lets him fly through space and fight crime. Everyone knows it and its been told many times since the first time in 1959 but have you ever stopped to think why was Abin Sur in a spaceship when the ring he wears to be a green lantern lets him fly in space with zero issue?

Hal Jordan’s iconic origin story is reliant on the greatest green lantern of his time not using his ring and taking an unnecessary spaceship.   

2. The Wasp (Ultimate universe)

 Cause of death: being eaten by the Blob 

Marvels Ultimate universe is mainly remembered as the original universe of Miles Morales, the main character from into the spider-verse but dear reader did you know that to comic book fans Ultimate universe is also know for a few other things? 

Honestly, I could probably fill another top 5 with them but the one I would like to focus on is the event Ultimatum. A poorly reserved excuse to kill of a large number of characters and set up a new status quo which featured amongst many other gruesome deaths the super villain the Blob eating the founding Avenger Wasp. 

1. Quinella (Sword Art Online: Alicization)

 Cause of death: Humped to death by flaming clown 

Serving as the main antagonist of the first half of Sword Art Online: Alicization. Quinella brings us the most over the top and stupidest deaths in all of media. 

After fighting with the main trio of characters, it comes down to just Quinella and main character Kirito after a sort fight Quinella having just lost her second arm chokes Kirito out with her hair. Then while activating a sky beam that will take her out of the digital world they are in and let her lose in the real world, her subordinate a clown man with fire magic sets himself ablaze fly’s up to her mid evil monolog and starts humping her until they both explode. 

Youtuber Mother’s Basement has a Fantastic video braking down discussing the series as a whole. So, if you would like to have full context for this / see proof I am not making this up you can watch his video Here

If anything Quinella’s death ended the series on a bang.
