Line 5: It's important to note that: # The two cannot just be friends or acquaintances. They have to be [[Blood Brothers\|~~REALLY~~''really'' close]], and # The [[Sidekick\|supporting character's]] [[Anyone Can Die\|death]] needs to be a huge turning point in the story. Line 35: * ''Brian's Song'' - Brian Piccolo and Gayle Sayers (yes, he's male). * An epic ''womance'': the two female scientists from ''[[Volcano]]''. The remaining scientist (Anne Heche) is that much more determined to convince FEMA that there's really a volcano starting in Los Angeles because her best friend died to prove it. * In ''[[Captain America: The ~~First Avenger\|Captain America the~~ First Avenger]]'', this is the fate of James "Bucky" Barnes. This also follows the comics, though in the film Bucky and Steve are the same age, while in the comics Steve is older. * Happens due to KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! in ''[[Star Trek II: The ~~Wrath of Khan\|Star Trek II the~~ Wrath of Khan]]'' to Kirk, who has to watch as Spock dies. Of course, in the next movie Spock gets better, but at the time it was intended to stick. * A version of this happens in ''[[X-Men: ~~First Class\|X Men~~ First Class]]'', in which Magneto and Professor X form a close friendship, but [[Foregone Conclusion\|ultimately part]] because of a major difference in ideals. Notably, neither is killed, though Xavier does sustain a permanent injury that leads to Magneto [[Cradling Your Kill\|cradling his cripple]]. == [[Literature]] == Line 56: * ''[[Shut Up Flower Boy Band]]'' has one of the members of the titular band die in a tragic fashion. [[Age-Appropriate Angst\|Being teenagers]], the rest of the band doesn't take his death too well. * John is devastated by [[Sherlock\|Sherlock's]] {{spoiler\|apparent death}} in ''The Reichenbach Fall''. He's not even aware that the reason Sherlock {{spoiler\|committed (fake) suicide was to save his life}}. * Horatio and Archie's friendship in the ''[[~~Horatio~~ Hornblower (TV series)\|~~Horatio~~ Hornblower]]'' TV movies is an arguable example, although the emotional fallout after Archie's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and death isn't explored overtly in the subsequent series. == [[Oral Tradition]], [[Folklore]], Myths and Legends ==
