He’s right you know. Old yeller, Bambi’s mom and others need to die. Why?
Often the tragedy gets overlooked and people want to just get sugar in their diet. But a good story needs all the elements to come together as a cohesive experience.
When it comes to the tragic death, you should not retcon it or even try to exploit it after the fact. Death is ultimate and in the context of story needs to be given the respect it deserves.
But readers and viewers are fickle and shallow in regards to this context. Hollywood will placate to them all the time, but this is why Hollywood movies suck - because they placate to the viewer all the time.
Quit cheapening the tragedy, you ignant bastards. I swear.
Eh, kinda disagree. I played the game for the first time last year and imma be honest I didn’t really care about Jackie when he died.
He says you can spend a lot of time in the opening area, before doing the heist, which I did, but almost nothing of it is with Jackie. Even the couple of missions you do with him, you’re often doing your own stuff.

They aren’t suggesting he not die, they’re suggesting that the part of the game before he died should have been much longer.
Might have hit harder when he did eventually die, I guess. But no, I think this was dramaturgically perfect.

That’s a valid experience, of course! For me, I really liked the pacing of the part until Jackie died.
