WARNING!! MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!





Battle of the Movie Deaths

Round 1, Battle #1


Tyler Durden, from the movie FIGHT CLUB
Tyler Durden dies after the Narrarator finally figures out that Tyler is not another person, but is actually a self-made version of himself. He conquers Tyler by nearly committing suicide with a gun. Tyler therefore dies, because the Narrarator killed him in his mind.

v


Carl Showalter, from the movie FARGO
Carl dies as a result of a betrayal. His partner in crime ends up stuffing him in a large woodchipper, in order to (hope I get this right) destroy "evidence"/"shares in the dough".

The gun was at an angle. Norton got shot in the cheek.

And BTW, I don't see how using spoiler tags helps. You can see the picture of the guy who dies anyway.
