Introduce a character to have him killed off 5 minutes later

>Introduce a character to have him killed off 5 minutes later
Why do directors do this?

?

!

he wasn't alone.

Seems like a waste on a fairly decent actor. Honestly expected him to play Dr.Strange.

Ban?

>fairly decent actor
Fuck off, GOTfag. He's shit.

Why would Nolan kill off the film's protagonist 5 minutes into the film? I've never understood this.

The blob did it right.

>Chad character gets 30 minutes exposition with his gf
>gets killed and forgotten within the next 5 minutes

To set up the CIA Rises trilogy.

then show me the body

Are there any movies where the fake protagonist dies 2/3 of the way through and the real protagonist isn't even introduced until the last 1/3?

>Gotham wouldn't have been saved by Batman if CIA hadn't valiantly sacrificed himself, his plane and his men

Truly the hero we deserve. How long until WB gives this story the Rogue One treatment?

No Country for Old Men

Dangerous Men

Executive Decision

Psycho

he didn't get to bring friends

>a lot of loyalty for cia

Skyfall

No. By definition the character that features in the movie the most is the protagonist.

He's the antagonist you fucking dumbass

Game of Thrones basically counts

daily reminder that protagonist =/= hero.

You either die in charge or live long enough to become a big guy

>character dies 2/3 through movie
>new character last 1/3
How would the first one not be featured the most?

For you

...

well...how else would the fire rise hmm?!

death by exile

The whole plane sequence is very absurdist and kafkaesque with its use of claustrophobic environments, they needed to have a relatable character introduced and then killed off so we could follow along with him in the madness

Twin Peaks (except the real character is revealed on the last episode)

How did CIA capture the entire League of Shadows? Shouldn't he have been suspicious if they just called it in?

...maybe his hands..were a little dirty....

>your new chad is Kevin Dillon and your Stacey is the crazy bitch from Becker
Kino

To Crash and Fly in CIA

>quickly dethrone and kill off the big bad guy in one silly twist in the last minutes of the movie
why does nolan do this?
