YMMV / Animal Man (2011)

• Tearjerker: Cliff's death, which also leads to the disintegration of Buddy's marriage.
• The Woobie: Buddy Baker. His daughter, Maxine, becomes the new Avatar of the Red; his son, Cliff, dies; his marriage disintegrates; and he temporarily loses his connection with the Red after demanding that the Totems leave his family alone. In the end, he manages to reconcile with the rest of his family, but he is still doomed to leave them eventually to take over for an overseer of a planet directly connected to the Red, Green and Rot, which could happen sooner or later.
