Rumours are going around that Quicksilver might die in Avengers: Age Of Ultron. People used to think it was Hawkeye's fate to die until he was confirmed to appear in Captain America: Civil War. My question is: Why should someone have to die to make the villain seem dangerous? Can't they just be roughed up a bit? I'd say wait until the Thanos Inquisition shows up before we go destroying the Avengers.

I can see the death of an Avenger being the filmmakers' lazy way of imbuing the heroes with motivation, like Coulson's death. I don't think it's a good idea unless there's a good reason for it within the story.

I actually don't mind, because there are always casualties in massive battles. This isn't the comic books where death is literally pointless.

I didn't see that coming...
