How do you feel about how ... died? (Comic spoiler) COMIC SPOILERS
I'm talking about Cecil, just didn't want to have his name in the title.
I always knew he was going to die, it wasn't spoiled for me I just refused to believe that a man like Cecil would survive invincible and I was right. That being said when Rex killed Cecil, I was shocked and told myself that Cecil didn't deserve to go out that way. But then I thought about it and realized it was literally the perfect way for him to die.
Cecil was always someone willing to do whatever it took to keep earth safe but even he had his limits that he would never even consider he had. Rex was exactly the same except he would have pushed Cecil past his limit and would never join Rex which is why Rex killed Cecil first. I know Rex told Mark that Cecils death was on his hands but I don't think that Cecil would have killed any hero just because they might have gone against his orders after all he didn't even try to hurt mark after the disaster with the T-rex (I can't remember his name) Even Sinclair refused to side with Rex. If you disagree with my opinion on if Cecil would have joined Rex let me know.
It's because of this that Cecil died the way he deserved, by being killed by a man willing to do whatever it takes to keep earth safe but Rex was willing to go way further than Cecil wasn't capable of.
That being said, i think the way Rex killed Cecil wad a bit much. Slicing his throat then smashing his head, I don't know if that was deserved.
What do you think?

He deserved a better death, but his funeral makes it even more sad. He actually had nobody.
