Doc Hudson (“Cars” franchise)
Egon and Leia, May the Force be with You both.
So many Legends here. But who had the most influence at me. hmmm.. well.
There would be no Star Treck without Nemoy. He invented so many things there, Star Treck is basicly Nemoy at his best. Nerve Pinch? Is like a Kaehameha. EVERYONE tryed it once 🤣 Nemoy came up with this Idea. He basicly changed Filming as it was. Untill Star Trek, everyone only knowed violence from Movies. But he could take out an Enemy without force, or even harm his oponent. that was totaly new and broke all rules. Yes, Nemoy was a Rebel! 😆
Definitely Chadwick Boseman
I’ll always miss Doc Hudson. He was apart of my childhood
Not just u but everyone
@shinylugia5726 My dad had a 1952 Hudson Hornet when I was kid. His was a "British" racing green straight 6 cylinder and used to blow away mid-50s Chevy and Ford V-8s. Also Paul Newman, as Doc Hudson, was one of the greatest American actors of all time. RIP Paul & Doc!
Same!
Geoege Carlin also in the movie died too. They just got a new voice actor for Filmore
Fun fact: they used a recording done for the first movie (but haven't been used) for the 3rd movie for that small moment at the beginning of the movie during Lightning's "I am speed" self motivate talk.
It’s still heartbreaking not only that Carrie Fisher passed, but that her mother passed the very next day.
What's even more sad is that Debbie wishes to be with her daughter Carrie and she got her wish and she died from a broken heart
Poor Billie Lourd, having to deal with two back to back deaths in her family
Chadwick Boseman , we miss you man , Black Panther can't be replaced
You mean T’Challa.
Wakanda Forever.
Although it would have been nice 👍 if Drake or Jason Derulo took over the role in later films 🎥
@@jadehedglin1430or Jay Z
@@jadehedglin1430 they can play as his son in future movies
Chadwick was by far the saddest imo. He was so young and his death was so sudden. The fact that they had T’Challa die the exact same way in the movie and made the movie a tribute to him absolutely broke me. It was so moving. I sobbed multiple times during that movie.
Yeah. Too bad that was the ONLY good thing about that movie. The rest was pure Woke Culture crap with a stupid latino Namor.
I never saw Wanka forever
@@m.lanzoni9306 you good bro?
That movie was so good
I remember when people realized Doc Hudson died, few people in my circle hated the 3rd movie because of it. And I had to explain "no its not on purpose they wrote him out, his actor actually died."
R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman,you will be true Black Panther forever.
He's death greatly hurts me!!😭😭😭😭
They should’ve recasted T’Challa instead of offing him.
@@TMX1138 that’s not how it works. Marvel has done an incredible job of making sure there characters can only be portrayed by the original actors. Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and of course Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa. Boseman owned the role of T’Challa as much as Downey owned the Role of Tony Stark. Recasting the character would imply that he didn’t own it. If it isn’t broke or too broken, don’t fix it
@@Jackferrett6781 But he was only there for only ONE STANDALONE movie! And if you’re saying that they shouldn’t recast someone after they died, then why did Marvel recast Thunderbolt Ross after William Hurt died? This is such hypocrisy!
@@TMX1138 I understand your point but honestly Chadwick Boseman was iconic as the Black Panther and T’challa! I can’t even imagine anyone else playing that role but him! Sadly they couldn’t, they did the right thing
I miss both Carrie and Chadwick, I cried watching both of their characters deaths.
I really appreciated how respectful they were towards both T'Challa and Chadwick Boseman following his untimely passing. Wakanda forever, Chadwick will never be forgotten.
At first, I was on team recast the whole time. As a Black man, I didn't love that they killed off one of the few black superheroes on film who's supposed to be the most powerful heroes in the MCU. That would've been like if we FINALLY get Man of Steel 2 but then they decide to kill off Henry Cavill and replace him with Sasha Calle. Which actually could've happened if James Gunn hadn't saved the day. Part of me was hoping it took place during the Blip, especially since there are still almost no storylines since then that took advantage of that period of time, having Shuri fake her death out of protection (IDK, maybe they met Namor earlier) and have the rest of the movie tell basically the same story and leave the door open on recasting T'Challa with the movie ending showing the back of his head.
But I saw how the movie portrayed the mantle and why it shouldn't die with T'Challa. It was so compelling to see Shuri come to the realization of that. And they 💯% sold me on the younger T'Challa! Which makes me think Storm will be introduced in the MCU to be around the same age as him and I hope that happens!
By killing off his character after one standalone movie? That’s not being respectful! That’s actually hypocrisy and actually more disrespectful to the character than continuing his story with a new actor.
Wakanda forever
@@TMX1138 Boseman played T’Challa 4 times. He owned that role. He didn’t deserve to be recast any more than Iron Man does
@@Jackferrett6781 What part of “one standalone movie” did you not understand?
To be honest, when I heard that Paul Walker died, I expected his character in Fast and Furious, Brian O'Connor, to be killed off as well. But I guess no one wanted to do something super tragic and said "Screw it, let's keep him alive!", because family.
Same. If Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner would’ve died in Furious 7, im pretty sure he would’ve been in this list in this video. But im glad Brian O’Conner is still alive in the fast Universe. I was happy seeing Paul Walker got to be in Fast X Because of the flashback scene at the start of the movie, hopefully Brian O'Conner (CGI) can return in present time in Fast X part 2 :)
3:14 I was so confused at why Doc never returned to Cars 2. Now I realized the truth, his actor passed away 😢
I felt the same way when I saw Cars 2 and I looked it up after
The very sad thing is: John Belushi was actually intended to be in GhostBusters. Dan Aykroid was literally writing a line for his character when he was told the news of his death x
One irony that I caught in "Blues Brothers" is that one of the characters said "Who are you going to call?" (I didn't pay attention to who said it) and that line is now associated with "Ghostbusters".
Leia's death in "Rise of Skywalker" really hit me in a sad, emotional way. Carrie Fisher did a perfectly outstanding job playing as the iconic princess. Both she and Leia are a huge inspiration to us girls: we girls can fight for what's right, too.
Did you see her last film, Wonderwell? It came out last month.
@@patrickspencer6550 No, I haven't. I've mostly seen her through the Star Wars films, both original and sequal trilogies.
@@annaleichliter4171 What about The Blues Brothers (1980)?
They killed the entire franchise, that is quite an accomplishment for a billion dollar industry.
@@robpolaris7272yup
Us Star Trek fans got what Star Wars didn’t
We got the whole gang back together and they all lived ( Next generation Picard)
As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I was bursting in tears when I saw TROS in theaters. I still weep at that scene almost 4 years later. RIP CARRIE FISHER. May the force be with you. 😭💔
Finally someone who recognizes the emotional weight of TROS
Same
Paul Newman, what a legend!
There will never be another Paul Newman.
And there will never be another Chadwick Boseman
Ah, Doc Hudson… Judge, Racing legend, doctor and McQueen’s father figure, which was shown in the flashbacks in Cars 3.
I’ll never forget that car… 🫡
He was like a legit legend to McQueen NGL
🫡
Paul Newman there will be no one who is such an icon to movies or racing as much as him. I still miss him.
Chadwick baseman was the first thing that came to mind dead but still alive in our heart ♥ long live the king 👑
Wakanda Forever!
At first I wanted them to recast T'chala... But after seeing the way they handled the whole situation in the sequel which introduced his young son I'm fine with the non recast... The young avengers are now the future of the avengers in the MCU.. so at this point it makes more sense...
True, whether he was still alive for BP2, I think it would've been proper for him to have passed the torch on to someone else still alive, but the way they handled it was still good
@@patrickzalatoris3206 there’s no passing the torch. Boseman was the torch
Chadwick Boseman may be gone, but the Black Panther will remain in our hearts. Wakanda Forever.
Leonard Nimoy and Chadwick Boseman death are still difficult 😞
You should also do list of TV characters (both animated and live action) who were killed off because the actor demanded it. For example, Freddie Prinze Jr, who voiced Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018) agreed to voice him only if they killed him off at the end, so Dave Filoni had to do so, despite numerous attempts to get Freddie to change his mind (when he was writing the script for Kanan’s death, Dave was going through the grief of his father’s death and didn’t have the heart to kill Kanan off). How do I know all of this? Online articles that are everywhere
I think they recently did a list like that
@@kershabeaver3312 not one of the actor demanding it
Harold Ramis's death affected me the most. 😢 No one plays Egon Spengler better than him. 😔
It's been 10 years after his passing
The Force is with Carrie Fisher in death. May her and Chadwick Boseman’s legacies live on forever! Wakanda forever!
I think what also makes Carrie Fisher's death that more tragic is that she played Angela in Family Guy, and they paid tribute to her with Peter giving a heartfelt eulogy. For a show based solely on comedy to make a tribute in her honor shows how much she was loved and missed.
But knowing Carrie's sense of humor, she would've found it hilarious that Peter delivered said eulogy at the wrong funeral 😅😂.
I started crying at carrier fisher but black panther fits the number on spot..... Wakanada forever you great man!
I feel like Nimoy and Spock Prime's deaths were some of the most tasteful on the list in the way that the characters were essentially mourning alongside the actors who portrayed them.
The Marcus Brody one really hits me since I have been on an Indiana Jones kick lately and would have loved to see Marcus in the final scene of the 5th movie going out for ice cream with Salah and the kids.
Dude, he totally would have done that!
@BobHanson-fp3hg Exactly. I mean, I was getting flashbacks to the Lego video games with his character, wishing he was in the movie. So, I took the Lego model and memory of him from the first movie and put him in the final scene in my mind after watching the movie to make the ending perfect.
Respect to Chadwick Boseman and the fact that for a time in the comics, his sister Shuri had the Black Panther mantle but the movie Black Panther Wakanda Forever really dropped the ball on continuing forward. Sure there's the argument to Chadwick's sudden passing affecting many things and people, but those behind the MCU who wanted to increase "The Message" in the movies ruined what should have been a far better handling of passing the mantle.
I started ugly crying when I saw Egon the first time in Ghostbusters Afterlife
Same. I ended up crying into the napkin I was using for popcorn.
I still can’t believe people wanted T’Challa recast. Boseman owned that role. And recasting the character would imply that he didn’t own it
Recasting while someone was alive would’ve been worse. People would’ve understood recasting after someone died.
@@TMX1138 yeah but would you recast Wolverine if Hugh Jackman died
@@TMX1138 basically if it isn’t broken or if it’s too broken. Don’t fix it
@@Jackferrett6781 Depending on the circumstances, yes. Heck, Wolverine once had his skin destroyed in the comics.
@@TMX1138 it also depends on what the actor brought to the character. You need to learn to move on
We all knew Chadwick Bozeman was going to be number 1
Saw Rogue One same day as Carrie Fisher died. Rip.
Deep condolences, Harold Ramis.
(And also everyone else in this list)
There was no doubt in my mind Chadwick Boseman would be number one.
Wakanda Forever
I cried like a baby when I found out that Carrie Fisher died!
I Did Too
I Would Like To Replace Her In The Mandalorian’s Future Seasons
I'm also was shocked by Chadwick boseman passing too
He played such a iconic black panther I seriously liked the movie and literally him during the fight against thanos in endgame/infinity war
@@Arronic Dying of colon cancer can't have been easy for him!
RIP Chadwick Boseman. Way too soon.
Oh man! I was not expecting to get teary eyed in this. I hadn’t seen the new Ghostbusters movie yet, but when Winston says he misses Egon to his ghost, the waterworks started flowing unexpectedly. I had no idea that was gonna touch me as it did. Those movies were part of my childhood and the cartoons were one of my all time favorites. Rest in Peace Harold Ramis. Apparently you did impact me in some way.
Sid Haig as Captain Saulding (1939-2019)
The original script of 3 from Hell that Sid would had a larger role in the movie but he told Rob Zombie he won’t live for much longer due having cancer, the script changed where Captain Saulding had a small role before being executed, in real life after the production, Sid Haig sadly passed away 😢
I remember when Paul Newman passed when I was a kid, and he was Doc to me :( And I can vividly remember the moment I found out Chadwick Boseman passed as well. He also meant a lot to me :((( ... Rest in peace to all the actors and actresses on this list.
You mentioned Brody’s death but not Henry’s(Sean Connery) from Indians Jones. They mentioned it in the clip and in Crystal kingdom, he tells Mutt •Somewhere, your grandfather is laughing”
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out in 2008, and Sean Connery was still alive until 2020. I guess Connery just didn't wanna come back (or they just didn't write him in).
Chadwick Boseman you are and forever will be missed
Though not a franchise, Mrs. Doubtfire almost did become one as for years after the film fox tried getting a sequel with Robin Williams trying to get on board, writers making scripts, ideas floating around, unfortunately everything was shut down because of Robin's death, may have been best to have left the film as a standalone, but it's something that made me think how it would've been if robin was still alive today
Chadwick Boseman, Leonard Nimoy, and Paul Newman are the ones that I miss the most. And even though another one I miss the most doesn’t appear on the list in the video, I also miss Robin Williams (Gene “Disney’s Aladdin”).
Thank you watchmojo for honoring these incredible, powerful actors. Thank you for the beautiful memories❤😢
No other actors can replace these iconic characters.
I am not surprised that in the leadup to _The Dark Knight Rises_ there had been (erroneous) rumors of the Joker getting the electric chair for his atrocities in _The Dark Knight._
Just like no one I mean no one can replace Johnny Depp as captain Jack sparrow
And this Margot Robbie as jack sparrow shenanigans well it's gonna be put down real quick bc of the consequences
If he passes away then goodnight pirates of the Caribbean
@@Arronic Precisely. I think I know the perfect actor who could voice Captain Jack Sparrow.
I'll leave an honorable mention. Cars has Dave "Big Deal" Deal to thank for helping out, Pixar. He's barely mentioned in the behind the scenes. I did see that he made concept art of lightning, tow-mater, doc, the fiat and a not used pre-doc character. He died during production of Cars 2.
It was very sad that Chadwick Boseman did die, but at the same time, I am glad they didn’t recast him and have Wakanda Forever begin with a funeral scene and have the end credits feature one of Rihanna’s best songs.
I, like millions of his other fans, was gutted to hear the news of Chadwick Bozeman's passing....he was a phenominal actor...I'm glad that he got the chance to play such an inspiring charactor in The Black Panther movie....his legacy lives on in his work on screen.
Chadwick was so unexpected 😔 and I absolutely loved the OG Doc from the Cars movie 😭😭 I truly loved that man’s character I had no ideas he died
Honorable mention: Philip Seymour Hoffman. He was in The Hunger Games franchise. He passed away during filming of Mockingjay part 2 and had to address it in the movie.
Lance Reddick - John Wick franchise
didn't he die after i don't think they have yet to determine what happened to his character
@@marlonclark1896 He died in Chapter 4
@@assembled1855 ok
Paul Walker in Fast and Furious franchise was left out
his character isn't dead
It's because his character wasn't dead
Rest in peace
Newman and Nimoy. Two legendary actors. May they Rest in Peace.
An honourable mention goes to Brian O "Connor ( Paul Walker ) . He has acted in almost six Fast and Furious films. When production for Fast 7 was in the works, Paul Walker sadly died in a car accident . They added cgi to his character with his brothers provided for stand- ins. For me, the death that affected me the most was Chadwick Bosemans.
rip doc hudson! you were in my childhood, legend
Doc Hudson Has Ohly Been In First Cars Flim But Did Him Little Bit In Cars 2 And 3
Doc Hudson, Leia Organa and Black Panther always be missed😭😭😭 super 🤩 they will be remember
Chadwick Boseman death always hits home for me since I loss my mom in 2014 to Colon Cancer. 😢
“It’s been a long day without you my friend and I tell you all about it when I see you again.” Charlie Puth
Edit: You forgot Paul Walker
Brian is still alive.
@@assembled1855yeah this is what I thought. Paul has passed but Brian is still alive in the franchise
Brian isn't dead
Paul Walker should’ve been included
Did they kill him off the show? I thought his character just left cause of his family
Brian didn't die. He retired.
Brian is not dead
oh hells yeah paul walker shouldve been included
@@KRDP this list about characters who died because the actor did Paul walker may have died but his character Brian is still alive you even see him arriving in his car at the end of f9
Boseman and ledger are really the only celebrity deaths that have bothered me at all. Oh, and William hurt.
Don’t forget the T.V. Shows!
they already did the tv shows
Chadwick/T'Challa definitely a top contender. I would have liked to see Paul Walker/Brian O'Conner on there too though.
Brian is still alive
Next Ghostbusters movie, they need a cameo for Maurice LaMarche, Frank Welker, Arsenio Hall and the ghost of Lorenzo Music.
11:02 The way her whole body is in shadow… 😢
I was diagnosed with the same condition that Harold Ramis passed away from. I would never forget. I was thirteen at the time and it scared me. Harold will always be a part of my childhood. May he rest in power
"I may have lost a boss, but heaven has gained a Princess." Very well put, Peter.
Carrie Fisher (1956-2016)
So sad.
Amazing video watch mojo,fantastic job.
I remember when I saw the news on the death of Carrie Fisher and Chadwick Boseman it was real sad.
Richard Attenborough as John Hammond in Jurassic Park. The Jurassic World movies have mentioned Hammond more than a few times
I wish Doc Hudson would stick around in the Cars franchise by having a different voice actor
The tribute to Chadwick Bosman was amazing!! There was no one that could have replaced him.
I remember when my Dad told me Paul Newman died and was wondering how they would handle his character in Cars 2. They choose death
Doc was Paul newman’s last role
In Cars 2, learning about Doc Hudson's death was the only emotional moment that landed.
Paul Newman's,Leonard Nimoy's,and Chadwick Boseman's.😞
Rip to all of these wonderful people they may be gone we will never forget them 🙏😢💝😔
Chadwick Boseman's passing was tragic that changed the MCU forever.
Harold Ramis and Chadwick Boseman, hurt alot
Rest in peace Paul Newman and Chadwick bowman
May they all rest in peace.
Top Ten Actor Changes that ruined Franchises
I was very young when Paul Newman passed away, but I do remember hearing about that. As for Carrie Fisher and Chadwick Boseman, I broke down in tears!! I LOVED Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and I’m white! Chadwick Boseman was a true hero and inspiration to EVERYONE BOTH on AND off-screen!!
Black Panther and Doc hit home for me.
I knew about the passing of the voice actor for the hippie in cars but not doc Hudson. I have no idea who the voice actor for Hudson even is. Doesn’t sound familiar and now seeing him he doesn’t look familiar either.
Egon was such a big hit. I was sad
Chadwick hit me the hardest on this list you named, it was the next day on my bday i had this saddening news, Chadwick changed people's lives, and forever shaped the future of marvel setting a new beginning for heros, truly he was one the greats along with stan lee, adam west and others...rip wakanda forever.
I’d also like to bring up A Christmas Story Story, the OFFICIAL sequel to A Christmas Story, which had Ralph and Randy’s father The Old Man pass away as a plot point due to the death of actor Darren McGavin nearly 2 decades prior in 2006.
7:48 egon not speaking in the afterlife movie was perfect because his actions spoke very clearly
I always wondered why Doc Hudson wasn’t in Cars 2 and 3
Harold Ramis and Leonard Nemoy were the two actors that got me when they passed. They will always be my favorite actors.
Think the star wars franchise wasn't "killed" by the loss of Carrie Fisher. They kinda shot themselves in the foot. And this is coming from a star wars fan for nearly 25 years
Star Wars newest trilogy could've been amazing. They had everything needed. Instead the bring back the Empire (First order is just Empire rebranded). Between that, Leies weird space flight, and Rey being the most god awefull character in SW, yes Jar Jar was better.
yeah the last trilogy was basically a remake of the first trilogy
Little me didn't know doc was dead and was sad to find out he died.
May all these talented actors rest in peace!
I didn’t know Harold Ramos died in 2014. I was heartbroken and I cried when I saw his ghost in Ghostbusters: Afterlife
