Line 40:
* Cause: [[Heroic Sacrifice]], so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3.
* Genre: It's a comic book, so [[Death Is Cheap]]. 1.
* The Body: [[Deader Than Dead]], a [[PietaPietà Plagiarism]] too for supes sake! So no chance of [[Faking the Dead]]. 4.
* Reaction: [[Really Dead Montage]], uh-oh. 4.
* Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
Line 49:
----
 
'''Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of [[Batman (Comic Book)|Batman]] in [[Final Crisis]].'''
* Cause: [[Heroic Sacrifice]], give or take. 3.
* Genre: Comic book, so [[Death Is Cheap]]. 1.
Line 134:
 
And finally, as of Recreation, {{spoiler|Donut}}
* Cause: [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him|Bridge Drop]], 4
* Genre: [[Killed Off for Real]], thus far. Might shift upward if he's actually dead, but for now that's a 3.
* Body Found?: Gonna call this n/a because it just happened.
Line 150:
 
* Cause of death: Shot rather messily by an assassin at close range. 4
* Genre: [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] 1
* Body Found?: The police found it. It's since apparently been cremated and the urn is placed at the feet of his memorial statue. 4
* Reaction: [[He's Dead, Jim|He's Dead, Edmund.]] 3
Line 173:
----
 
Hmmm... how about {{spoiler|Penny}}, from [[DoctorDr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video)|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]?
* Cause of death: Death ray pieces to the sternum sounds a bit too much like [[Death Byby Irony]], if you ask me. 4.
* Genre: DHSAB matches the real world rather closely-- thatclosely—that said, it's unknown whether [[Mad Scientist]] resurrection is possible or not. I'll mark it as [[Killed Off for Real]]. 3.
* Body found?: Yes. Oh, yes. 4.
* Reaction: Well, the bit after it qualifies as a [[Really Dead Montage|Montage]] (albeit in a slightly twisted way), so... 4.
Line 182:
* Ever died and come back?: Not that I know of. 4.
* So, 4+3+4+4+2+1+4 = 22/7 = 3.142857. '''VERDICT''': Dead, not sleeping. Sorry, Doctor Horrible!
* I'd argue that the Genre allows for a far higher genre score. A) [[DoctorDr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Web Video)|Dr. Horrible]] is set [[Death Is Cheap|in a comic based universe]] B) There is at least 1 undead character, Dead Bowie. C) Dr.Horible is a [[Mad Scientist]] you know the ones who pull stuff like cloning and [[Frankenstein]].
** Yeah, but characterization would more accurately be a 4, and Last Words would probably be a 3. So this would be counterbalanced.

'''Agent Nick'''
* Cause: [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]] - 4
* Genre: [[Killed Off for Real]] - 3
* Body Found: [[Deader Than Dead]] - 4
