So Connor is all busted up about the death of Rachel, but what about Brenda Wyatt, the female lead from the original movie who taught Connor to love again and who played a key role in him winning against the Kurgan? She’s dead. Again. Run over with a car by Kell. We don’t even get a mention of this until about halfway through the film. Poor Brenda. She was the best female lead not named Amanda or Tessa in this franchise, and she has been killed off three times in sequels, all off-screen or in blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scenes.

Charon: {twitches}
Altair: That name's one you have not heard in a long while. It's almost as though you forgot her.
Charon: How could I? She's the very reason I'm...
Altair: Your God made you forget her. You only grieved for the moment she died and the next moments after, but as soon as a new story began, you forgot she even existed. That is the power that these Gods have over us.

Bloodsport: ...Milton was still with us?
Polka Dot Man: Where did you think he was?
Bloodsport: I don't know! I thought he stayed back with the bus! What was Milton gonna do?
Polka Dot Man: He was helping us!
Harley Quinn: ...Who's Milton?
Polka Dot Man: What?!
Harley Quinn: I don't remember any "Milton".
Polka Dot Man: FUCK! He has been with us the whole time!
Harley Quinn: Somebody named Milton has been with us the whole time?
Polka Dot Man: YES!
Harlye Quinn: I don't think so. I think I would have noticed if a guy named Milton had been with us, it's- it's not a very common name. I don't think I've ever even met a Milton.
Polka Dot Man: Are you messing around right now?! He was a really nice guy and he sacrificed himself to help us! And now look at him! Dead...
Harley Quinn: ...Oh, that guy! Milton! Milton...
