Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': The villain in a superhero film dies, often despite [[DeathByAdaptation not dying in the original comics]].
* '''Straight''': The movie ''[[AnimalThemedSuperbeing Lion Man]]'' ends in the BigBad [[HeinousHyena Hyena]] [[DisneyVillainDeath dying as he pummels off a cliff]], although in the ''Lion Man'' comics, Hyena lived.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** The ''Lion Man'' films kill off every villain that appears in them, down to even the very minor villains.
** Hyena is established as immortal, but he somehow gets killed off anyway.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Hyena is seriously injured, but doesn't necessarily die.
** Hyena is spared, but TheDragon Badger gets killed off.
* '''Justified''': Lion Man believes that if he has to kill a villain, he certainly will.
* '''Inverted''':
** Hyena dies in the comics, but is SparedByTheAdaptation in the movies.
** [[TheHeroDies Lion Man is killed in the movie]].
** Lion Man [[SaveTheVillain saves Hyena from certain death]] at one point.
** Not only does Hyena survive, but he [[KarmaHoudini gets away with his actions]].
* '''Subverted''':
** Hyena seems to have died, but TheStinger reveals he lived.
** In early development, Hyena is planned to get killed, but this ends up getting scrapped.
* '''Double Subverted''': The sequel, ''Lion Man 2'', ends up killing off Hyena.
* '''Parodied''': Hyena is DrivenToSuicide [[StupidEvil for no other reason besides "I'm a villain in a superhero movie, I have to die!"]]
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Some villains in the ''Lion Man'' films die, others don't. In fact, several even have a HeelFaceTurn.
* '''Averted''':
** No villains die - some may be PutOnAPrisonBus, but that's the worst they'll get.
** EverybodyLives.
* '''Enforced''':
** Hyena is a [[CompleteMonster truly atrocious villain]] who has shown that he is BeyondRedemption. This'd be the only way to give him a satisfying end.
** ''Lion Man 2'' is set to focus on White Tiger, another arch-enemy of Lion Man, so it makes sense to find a way to get Hyena out of the way first.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Lion Man [[SaveTheVillain rescues Hyena]] before he falls to his death.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "Man, I'm sad that they killed Hyena, it could've been cool if [[HeelFaceTurn he became a hero]] instead."
* '''Implied''': Hyena is last seen in an action sequence that could've killed him, but it's [[UncertainDoom not clear if he died]] - for the rest of the film, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse no mention of Hyena is made]], and the villain focus is shifted over to DragonAscendant Badger instead.
