"Do not grieve. Soon...I will be one with the Matrix"

This one hurts me a lot. He was my childhood, and hell, adulthood hero. He WAS the voice of most kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s. He was Optimus Prime, He introduced you to Voltron, He was Dr. Watson, he was Eeyore, He was Ramrod and the voice of the Saber Riders, He was a Rescue Ranger and a Gummi Bear, He was everything.

When the Transformers live action movie came out in theatres I cried when I heard his voice again. The man was like a father figure to me.

I'll miss you Mr. Cullen.

One 80 year old destroying our future, and Death destroying our past. What a shit year

That happens at a certain age.

Death is snatching the wrong mother fuckers.

Maybe this is the rapture and we're just not aware yet?

I guess the majority of us aren't fit for consumption.

It's okay, Death. That was a gimmie. Keep fishing. I believe in you.

Death should try a different kind of bait. Jailbait would probably work for Trump.

One shall stand, one shall fall. Plays out the same way this time, unfortunately.

Somehow, 2026 managed to figure out how to suck even more...again...again.

An absolute legend who helped shape my childhood with his amazing voice acting.

Rest easy, Peter.

JFC! Whats happening in this timeline? 2026 is so f'd up

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 15 points 18 hours ago

It's not that.

It's that 50 years ago there was a fraction of "famous people" alive that we have now.

Once Hollywood, etc grew exponentially, more people became favors. We all die. Ergo we will see a lot more frequent deaths like this as the new normal.

It will get faster.

The Grim Reaper thought "hey everybody! It's been 10 years since I last took a bunch of celebrities and people you enjoyed! LET'S PARTY BY TAKING EVEN MORE!!! WOOOOO!"

Why do good and beloved people die but disgusting pedophiles and conmen continue to live...?

[-] Toasticus@piefed.social 1 points 17 hours ago

The Reaper is not doing a good job by killing these worthwhile people with careers and lived honestly.

Why wouldn't the Reaper go after freaking Trump, George W Bush or so? They're 80+
