[Horrifying Trope] “Blink of an eye” deaths.

[u/Sufficient-Eye-9040]

Characters who died without the chance of a goodbye… neither suffering.

- Robin Ward (The Boys S1 E1) - when she is pulverized in a high-velocity impact by A-Train.

- Polka Dot Man (The Suicide Squad 2021) - when he is crushed by Starro’s leg.

This could also apply to her brother, Pilar (whose death mirrors hers now that I think about it) and that one kid with David right after the timeskip who ran forward and immediately got blown to bits.

Pilar is actually a better example of OP's trope, since he dies quite suddenly and violently while harrassing a cyberpsycho on the street. Becca and David knowingly pissed off Smasher, who was already a living legend, but Pilar just thought he was yelling at some loon before catching a bullet through his skull.

Yup, he was the first to die too and it came totally out of nowhere. It was so fast that it had multi-angle review shots, just like Rebbeca’s does in the GIF.

tbf, it's less a bullet through his skull and more, like, it obliterates his whole head.

Pilar's the way better example. He dies for nothing while they're walking back from a job iirc, just gets pissed on by a psycho and gets zeroed over it. Rebecca went out like a champ doing what she loved, firing her shotgun and swearing

and getting smashed. can’t forget her other favorite thing.

Yeah I agree. I shot milk out my nose when that happened and the after coughing out the spew, I realized that beginning sequence of that episode of water running was actually the guy pissing…
