Why Do They Have To Kill The Main Characters?
Jul 31 14 04:42 pm Link Because they need publicity stunts every so often. I think Archie is already alive again.

Jul 31 14 11:52 pm Link Why Do They Have To Kill The Main Characters? Lots of reasons: ... The creative team that created the character might, over time, get really sick & tired of the character. Fans of the character don't want the character to grow or change or do anything different, so over time, managing the character can get awfully tedious. Think about a one-hit wonder musical act -- everywhere they go, the public wants to hear them perform the same darn song over & over thousands of times, and the public prefers the old & familiar to the new & experimental. Killing off the character can end it all -- think of it as suicide. ... TV Shows: When a TV show becomes successful, the main characters want to cash in. The shows with an ensemble of ~6 characters of equal appeal (e.g. "Friends") become problematic. Each actor wants absurd amounts of money (like maybe $1,000,000 per episode), and each actor want to get paid as much as the highest paid actor. Often, the show's payroll exceeds the show's revenue, in which case, someone dies or moves away. ... "Killing" off a main character can spike people's interest, and folks who used to be fans might come back. And then, by some miracle, the main character is resurrected. Let 'em go -- it makes room in our hearts for new characters. Aug 01 14 09:27 am Link ...and some characters just need killing.

every year seems to be an excuse to bring out another Kryptonian.
