The shout out tends to yield a high number of erroneous \"false positive\" examples. So much so that the definition itself contains the warning \"Remember that a Shout-Out must be deliberate on the part of the authors; simply resembling something from another work is not sufficient, and the very existence of tropes and popular culture means that it\'s natural for resemblances to appear without any intent on the part of the authors.\"

Because a shout out has to be deliberate and intentional, it helps to have a WordOfGod reference to support it in cases where it\'s not 100% obvious that it\'s intentional.

In this case a character facing death saying \"I don\'t wanna die\" is pretty ubiquitous and to tie it to a specific occurrence in a web series is debatable unless the some kind of WordOfGod to support it.
