Which characters who died in movies/books or tv shows, would you have spared their dreadful fate?

Naturally only fictional work applies.There have been a few examples for me when someone I admire dies or is killed, usually towards the end of the piece. I’m thinking Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan Jeff Bridges in Thunderbolt & Lightfoot. Damn it even Robert Shaw in Jaws should’ve lived. So yeah, which “heroes” for you would you liked to have seen spared the grim reapers invitaton?
