I don't think Groot and Starro, etc., count as "animals"; they are characters that are put through things to engage audience sympathy... pretty standard stuff.

The animals in GOTG 3, which was admittedly a bit much, Krypto dognapped in Superman... and? I'm not suggesting Gunn doesn't need to update his box of tricks, but let's not exaggerate.

Yes, because he views putting an animal in peril as an easy way to engage the viewers' emotions... not because he hates animals and enjoys seeing them hurt. You absolute yogurt.
Superman: Good
Creature Commandos: Decent
Peacemaker S2: Decent
Supergirl: Bad
Lanterns: Great (Finale aside).
Still haven't seen Clayface.
The shakeup is no major loss for me, but I really don't want another damn reboot. Ideally, they'll move forward with the same characters while taking them in a different direction.

How TF can a character be "fridged" at the end of a movie when her arc has already played out as one of the most significant aspects of the story, and the male character that is supposed to be impacted by the death only appears in one more scene?

Woaaaah! I did not see this coming... I thought it would be after MOT was released if anything.

Definitely... They needed him out of the way for going on his podcast and spouting a load of conspiracy-theory nonsense that only the most gullible of brick-swallowing imbeciles could ever believe.

The entire movie focuses on Logan being sad about having to kill her even though it only happens in the last 5 mins?

Well that's a completely different argument... I'm not saying X3 is a good movie. But Jean did have an arc, and it culminated with her death after telling the hero to stop her rampage. No matter how you want to slice it, that's not "fridging."

No it isn't. She was killed at the very end of the movie after serving as a villain for most of it. The hero killed the villain and went home with a smile on his face. Jean's death didn't impact his arc any further.
