The other characters like waddles,Soos,Stan and Wendy can die in order to establish a sense of a personal vendetta against the villain or create vengeance (in Wendy's case break Mabel of her randomness (rather than the fan fiction reason which can burn in a fire) and make the Twins want to avenge the death of their friend.). What is the Fan Fic reason? The fan fic reason is something that any overly obessed fan believes in (i.e dream relationship between two characters). which is something I don't care about and I don't want to hear complaints like "oh they will save wendy because of _________ ". When in actual fact I'd imagine that if Wendy was killed then it would show Bill in a more dangerous light and make the Pines twins want to avenge the death of their friend but later question if it is worth doing then try resurrection (I don't hate Wendy she is very strong character and does have alot surprises but in this explanation she is just the best example.).

What I meant in the statement was more suggesting that bringing a shocking moment would place empasis on the characters struggles and moral complexity.

As you can tell I'm not very good at explaining things and I apologise if this offends anyone.
