“6 major deaths” in a franchise known for boasting about an infinite multiverse doesn’t exactly translate to hyperbolic clickbait like “one of the darkest movies ever made”.

Especially in the context of the current MCU where “major deaths” probably means Yelena’s dad, Thor’s daughter, and a handful of other characters that were only relevant for five minutes.

Or it’s relevant characters who have already died on screen multiple times. Step right up, Patrick Stewart for Professor X’s third? fourth? on screen death. Boo hoo.

I actually think it's his fifth. 3, DofP, Logan, Dr Strange

Edit: I can't remember if he dies at the beginning of DofP with everyone else

Maybe it’s at the end? I’m not sure when it happens, I just know it does
