Yeah I agree with Venus story wise Frys Leelas death would be worse, but I personally would be most saddened by Fry's death.

Probably Fry, although it would certainly been JTS if Fry, Bender, or Leela died. Amy, Professor, or Zoidberg dying would be potential JTS, but its possible the show could go one without them. Same with Hermes although less so. I think Scruffy dying is something the show could manage.

Fry is a pivitol character, and while the death of Leela would be tragic, Fry's (not) dealing with it could be an interesting character curve.
Also Fry is apparently the most important person in the universe. Unless his dying was part of the Niblonians plans then they wasted their time.
Actually, thinking about it, Nibbler did refer to Leela as 'the other' or something similar. Maybe one or both of their deaths is vital for the future of the universe.
Wow, deep. Or utter gibberish. Whatever

I would also say Leela, for the reason that Fry would most likely be crushed by her death.

This is a tie between Fry and Leela. Fry is the heart of the show, while Leela is the one who keeps it all together. They're both such important characters and without them, there would be no show. No matter how many great Bender and Zoidberg lines there are, no matter how funny the Professor and the rest are, there would be no Futurama without the Fry/Leela dynamic.

Agree completaly. You canīt have Futurama without Fry, premise of series was built on him. Leela as dead would be actually maybe more interesting than now as alive.
If by interesting you mean "effectively kill the show", then you are absolutely right.

Originally posted by fryfanSpyOrama: I'm surprised nobody has yet voted for Bender. I think, if we're talking about the impact on the show, Bender's death would not be as tragic as Fry or Leela's. He is the irreverent one and source of a lot of the comedy, but I find Zoidberg and the Proffessor to be just as funny.

Originally posted by Rhodan: Really? i donīt think so. Being inferior mutant freak She has superior physical strenght, pretty good flying abilities despite her lack of depth perception and compared to those normal humans around her she's more dedicated, focused and strong-willed. Inferiro? I think not. Mutant, yes. Freak, no, since all people see her as an alien. And how is she more freakish looking than Morbo and H.G.Blob (who both have normal jobs and lives). and only importency of character being now relationship with Fry, her role is pretty flatt. Let's have a look at the 4ACV episodes. Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch: Mother of Kif's babies, have to endure Zapp's come-ons, no shippy content Leela's Homeworld: Finds her parents, about her being lonely, no really outspoken shippy content Love & Rocket: Shippy as hell, since it's a Valentines Day special it's to be expected Less Than Hero: Being a superhero, and touching on her relationship with her parents, no shippy content A Taste Of Freedom: Leela tries to defend Zoidberg and the freedom of speech in the scenes she has, no shippy content Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV: Not centered on Leela, no shippy content Jurassic Bark: Some "nice" Leela-scenes ( ), Leela supporting Fry as a friend, no shippy content Crimes of the Hot: Group-show, no shippy content Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles: Leela tries to relive her youth with chores, curfews and dates, a few shippy scenes, nothing major though The Why Of Fry: Fry-episode, shippy though Where No Fan Has Gone Before: Leela and Bender just tags along on Fry's wacky adventure, no shippy content The Sting: Shippy as hell, though some of it can be attributed to friendship as well Bend Her: Leela mostly reacting to Bender's sexist remarks and organizing his bail-out, not shippy Obsoletely Fabulous: Not shippy, mostly a Bender dream The Farnsworth Parabox: Somewhat shippy, although I agree that part was pretty artificial Three Hundred Big Boys: Leela's interest in animals is most predominant, although you could argue that the fact that Fry rescue Leela first is a shippy scene, although I would say it's just a natural reflex for Fry to save his friends first Spanish Fry: Not shippy, Leela is more outdorsy, taking charge or non-caring. The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings: The mother of all shippy episodes Ofcourse I left out one-liners and other quick jokes. So a total of 4 shippy episodes and 3 episodes with a few shippy scenes. I don't think you can reduce Leela's role in the show to "love-interest of main-character". She has more sides and more to contribute. You might as well say Fry's only role is to win Leela's love. Of course, I actually also donīt want to any character to die but just try to imagine Fry when Leela die, that would be interesting. Interesting for an episode, maybe two, yes. But then what would happen? The show would've lost one of it's driving forces, the Leela-Fry "relationship" (actually them getting married would be a better twist, and I don't like that option either). Many of Futurama's jokes come from this interaction, and sacrificing that source for one good episode is a bad trade in my opinion. Plus we've allready seen Fry's reaction to Leela dying in "The Sting". So, yes, it would be interesting, but the sacrifices are too big. As shocking as this may sound, my Leelaholic background have no bearing on this opinion, if I was an Amyholic I would feel the same way.

I was nearly in tears when they aired the episode with the Space Honey a couple of weeks ago (Channel 7 Melbourne) when Fry died but it was really Leela in the coma. I was devastated and an emotional wreck at the end of the episode.
