The hard to choose who to kill aspect is negated by retcons and deus ex machina moments so that doesn't apply all the time. We need some protagonists to die despite the fandom but only if it is applicable. For instance to break a canon pairing is unthinkable and makes me cry every time it happens in tragedy manga. But if a person(who is single =P) is killed in a legit, acceptable manner, then its a different story.
