Meghan McCarthy casually said "He's dead now, so who cares?"

Maybe the disappointment wasn't that big, but I was probably the only one satisfied with it who said anything. It would have been the disappointed people who made comments that she would have read. One person even expressed a desire to strangle her when she confirmed his death. And not just that, but before then there was outright denial about it, and even if there were no comics people would still refuse to believe that Chrysalis was killed unless Meghan confirmed it as well.

So yeah. If people reacted that way to killing off their least favorite villain, imagine how they'd have reacted to killing off the villain with the most epic battle, or the villains with the coolest songs (even though Tirek can't fight anymore where he is and the Dazzlings can't sing anymore) This might not even be a pony thing either - Sonic fans refuse to even consider the possibility that the Deadly Six were killed off which they most certainly were, they just pounced on something that Eggman - who never saw the battle so it's clear he was unaware of their current status - said. It is rare to find a series that is still killing off its main villains. 24 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe still are, but for how long?
