Heroes die honorable deaths that live on forever.

* I mean yeah. Descent into villainy stories are always fun, but if your MAIN character dies a super lame death while contributing nothing... yeah that's just anticlimactic. And sucks. Of course, through writing, you can make anything impactful to the reader but at the same time... don't listen to me 4 years ago, your MC dying from falling off a ledge and snapping their necks is not memorable no matter the shock factor. Clichés are good sometimes.
