Since I can remember watching my first movies it seems like my favorite character dies, or something else tragic happens to them.'''Okay Just a Fair warning even though most of what I'm talking about is older I may SPOIL a few things for People. SO BEWARE.''' Now as previously stated all of my favorite characters seem to have tragic endings. The first two I remember are Qui-Gon Jinn and Boromir. Now my childhood was made up of characters I learned grew to love being killed no matter what. Although, I did eventually learn to stop picking characters played by Sean Bean, but a young me that initially fell in love with Boromir was cruelly tricked into having Sean Bean become his favorite actor. He still is by the way, but I don't hold my breath hoping he will survive any part he plays. Now the thing that made me swear off of favorite characters for about a year is when me and my brother were watching The Walking Dead, and I said before the episode even began, "You know, I think Merle has become my favorite character". That very episode Merle met his tragic end. It took me another year to pick another favorite character, but this time I decided to see if my curse didn't effect novels. Sadly I was proven wrong. While reading The Elder Scrolls Novels I found myself enjoying the character Sul only to have him getting screwed over in the end. Since then I have not picked a favorite character in anything. Until I was captivated by the minor appearance of Ranger Raccoon, which I believe I have praised him quite often, even though he did not die he still met a tragic end. Although, I am hopeful for his return in any media(I hope both the cartoon and mainstream comics). I just pray that my curse can be broken, and I hope no one else has suffered the same curse that I have. It feels terrible having every character you ever loved meet an untimely demise. Although, I have decided to stick with Ranger ultimately waiting his return, I mean I had to make my stand with someone so why not him? All in all, I am waiting for my curse to be broken, and if the same curse plagues you just know your not alone.
