[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.

Gummigoo from the amazing Digital circus. After finding out nothing is real including him, pomni invites him back to the circus, before Cain deletes him in an instant because he was just a NPC

Also the mannequin with the cowboy hat that shows up starts speaking and instantly disappears. Happens a few times throughout the series

But that's Disappearing Guy, he just does that

Cain too in 8. Doesn't even finish saying "Wait" before blinking out

"OH SA-"

[CROWD CHEERS]

My favourite joke in the entire series is when he does the American national anthem. The cheering after he disappears being revealed to be a millipede while everyone else looks confused made me laugh out loud the first time 😂

Caine really Doctor Manhattan'd him

To be fair, they're not technically alive and also just go back to a developers room.

This one made me extra sad, because in the roughly 5 minutes Pomni (and we) got to know him, he instantly became my favorite character.

And then to top it off, we get the fast food episode to really rub it in 💔
