IMHO, Toad didn't necessarily die. I remember reading something some years ago that suggests that the ocean is actually a good place to be if you're struck by lightning. Otherwise, though, the point is pretty valid.
Nothing anyone says about a book, movie, etc., for or against, beats experiencing it for yourself. -

True. After all, that was the original plan for Episode III, right? Bringing back Darth Maul with a mechanized lower body instead of Grievious? However, I do have to say that even a Sith probably can't live through being sliced in half. Ordinarily, anyway. A lighteaber, maybe, since it cauterizes the wound.

Yeah, just because someone dies a lot doesn't mean they're worthless. Look at Sean Bean, he's done a whole lot of movies where he always dies horribly, he's an amazing actor who always gets good reviews and offers.

Yeah really. All that proves is he's played some real baddies in his career. Logically, to have died so often, must mean he's cast as baddies often. So doesn't that means he's
really good
at playing a baddie? That's nothing to get your panties in a wad about, that's a good thing!
Everyone familiar with the actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa? You many not know his name, but I know you know his face. Probably, to people on this board, he's best known as Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat. I doubt you'll get any arguments that Tagawa is an awesome actor. But, ya know what? He's died in more roles than he's lived! There's even a fansite dedicated to Tagawa where his death tolls are cataloged!

Maybe someone with a Ray site should do something similar.
One other things. I've heard actors say baddies are more interesting/fun to play. Perhaps Ray feels that way too(?).

I don't exactly remember anyone else saying that it was a waste of the actors time to die in these movies. It seems to me that they were just pointing out that he dies in almost every role he's ever played. Hossrex, you need to chill and take life a litlte more easily i think.
Anyways, it true, he does die alot. He probably just has a thing for badguys though and they do tend to die alotwhat with good guys on the prowl and everything. -

He really really does. Toad's still alive, according to the book version of the movie, and the fact they were going to bring him back in the second moviebut didn't. But still, he might as well be dead.
It's really gotten to the point that if I fall in love with a character I'm waiting for him to get killed. It's not even just Ray! It's a terrible horrible trend. But really, they overkill RayI meanthey broke his neck, drowned and blew him up in Ballistic I mean, COME ON! Still I suppose it's an homage to how awesome he is, that they have to kill him as elaborately as they do.

Snake Eyes is gonna live though? Right? worry
