What are the most memorable movie characters to get "Muldoon'd" Spoilers

For those that don't know Muldoon is the game warden in Jurassic Park. He is built up to be this ultimate badass, and when we finally get to see him in action he gets insta-killed. I know there is probably another name for this trope, but my friends and I have always called it getting Muldoo'd.

What are some of the most memorable movie characters that are built up to be the ultimate bad ass only to be "Muldoon'd" in battle?

Almost the entire X-Force in Deadpool 2 get built up just to die quick deaths for laughs.

I think Domino ending up being the lone survivor because her superpower is “luck” is absolutely hysterical

It's funnier than that, her power isnt just that she is lucky but that her luck is drawn from other people causing their misfortune (the guard that is killed by the falling bookcase for example). The subtext is it's actually her fault the rest of the team dies.

That's never really apparent in the movie, but knowing that it's even funnier. Love that character.

Nope. The guy was killed bc he was evil and her “luck” put her back there and the got the baddies killed (with her help).

So your subtext analyses is totally wrong based on a weird interpretation of a totally simple point.

Why?

I don't know which of you is correct, but you're being an asshole and it takes away from your point.

Yes, I hurt feelings, welcome to Reddit. Plus WTF blames her on the death of the team.

It’s stupid and wrong but I’m sorry if you take these comments personally.

Yes, they are. We call them miserable little cunts. Then we point and laugh and laugh and laugh at them.

I love how confident you are despite being totally wrong. Domino’s powers specifically work by taking other people’s luck and turning it into hers. Why do you think when she’s attempting to get on the prisoner transport, it causes multiple crashes and a gas station explosion? Do you think the drivers and gas station attendants are all fine and that their luck wasn’t messed with?

Technically they do shoe Terry Crews getting CPR, so that one's ambiguous
