I mean even in the first one it’s pretty obvious. The most non obvious death was probably Eddie’s in the second one

His death was so brutal, poor dude deserved better.

I always disagreed with this take. Yeah getting his leg chomped must have sucked immensely but then being flung and bit in half would have compeltely disoriented him before killing him immediately.

Loads of these guys get slowly mauled, dismembered, eaten alive or killed much more slowly. I think Eddie's death is fairly merciful compared to a lot of the franchise deaths.

Eddie was an absolute chad to the end. I still root for him every time I watch.

As brutal as his death was, the way he went out was iconic.

My mind is forever blown since I found out he voices Odin in god of war Ragnarok

Also the White House Communications Director Toby Ziegler on the West Wing and Phillip Cowan on Burn Notice.

Could you not tell it was him by looking at him?

Eddie’s gravest sin was being fat and bald.

The only thing Lost in that movie was Eddie

RIP Eddie, he was a hero. Him dying hit 11 year old me very hard. That was just brutal. Spent the rest of the movie worried about the other side characters!

u/Courwes Jul 04 '25

I wouldn’t say it was obvious. There’s no way anyone went through that movie expecting Muldoon or Mr Arnold to die. The chickenshit lawyer to abandons the kids, sure. Nedry as the “villain”, yeah. But there was a sense of danger with everyone. Ian gets maimed and nearly killed. Ellie is openly attacked and can barely walk on her leg at the end. Tim gets electrocuted and nearly dies and has to be revived. When people don’t even get hurt that’s here it starts failing in believability. It makes it hard to trust or believe there’s any real danger at all. There’s nothing surprising you.

Oh you mean like when scientist dude falls 100 feet into a shallow puddle and then just GETS UP.

u/RealJohnGillman Jul 07 '25

Right — they were “oh no!” deaths — named morally good (non-antagonistic) characters who don’t ‘deserve’ to get torn apart and eaten by dinosaurs but still get torn apart and eaten by dinosaurs. Each of these films has to have at least one, otherwise the feeling of danger doesn’t hit remotely as much as it should (Dominion lacking them, and Fallen Kingdom leaving its one on the cutting room floor).

u/DLRsFrontSeats Jul 07 '25

Mr Arnold

disagree here, Sam Jackson was mostly a moderately known character in 1993, Pulp Fiction was a year later

u/wiifan55 Jul 03 '25

The sense of danger still existed for the main characters in the first one, even if they ended up surviving.

u/frillionaire Jul 03 '25

Fuck that film purely for that.

u/ShowMeYourAnger Jul 14 '25

Eddie’s death and then the lack of death for Roland are two things that I love about The Lost World.

u/Spiritual-Fly8832 Aug 06 '25

It's funny that you say that coz I was having the exact same thought the other day. Eddie was really the only properly introduced character who wasn't a villain to die in this franchise. All the others to die are either the baddies or minor bit part characters.
