        it's not really a spoiler if it doesn't matter and the status quo resets at the end of the episode.

        He gets his core metal (The thing that let's him transform into his cool alien armor) ripped out of his brain. The armor fails, starts melting him, goes berserk and then he is finished off when the monster he is fighting douses him in acid. The core metal eventually rebuilds him from scratch using the bits of brain that were stuck to it. A somewhat different situation from the ones in the OP but I get the comparison.

      The world needs more shows where clones of characters don't have the memories of the originals, making them separate characters, the way they really would be.

        The fact that Beast Wars made it a major plot point that someone had to forcibly implant the originals memories into the clone sets it far above SU or Amphibia. And had the nads to make it a morally questionable act, no less. Just a shame they had to axe Dark Glass so late in the process.

      This one's different because his 'Brain' is fine, and transformers by design have malleable bodies that can alter from their original states without losing their original selves. It'd be different if his Spark got destroyed or something but that part of him is fine.

      >Main character dies and goes to afterlife, but is given the choice to live or stay dead

      Fun fact, this canonically happened in the Batwoman show. I'm not kidding, the wheedly little black guy actual literally canonically died, went to the afterlife and was given the choice to move on or go back. He chooses to die because of all the racism in the world but then Batwoman brings him back with magic flowers. This is not a joke, he chose death rather than keep living in the Batwoman world.

      This happened in Soul and felt like a total cop-out. Your movie’s about death and the main character just tied up all his loose ends on earth and is ready to accept the next step, but then a character nonchalantly says we’ll bring you back to life if you want and oh don’t think about it the movie is over now.

      In the Bender time traveling movie the OG Fry went back in time grew a couple of decades older and later died

      There is also that time where Bender, Fry and the Professor traveled so forward in time that the universe looped and they accidentally killed their past selves.

        You're forgetting "Scooty Puff Jr." Fry; the original Fry we watched. When he was sent back int time by the Brainspawn and let Nibbler knock over his chair, he ceased to exist when he told them to send his future-self in the Scooty Puff Sr.

        And then Fry was dead dead in the first episode of the revival season; he doesn't get regenerated until the end of the episode.

    In TMNT Donnie died and got replaced twice, once was in an episode where April becomes evil and disintegrates him with her powers and many hours later she becomes good again and wills him back to life, the way she does it is similar to how teleports disintegrates the person and rebuilts it on the other side a technical death with your copy living from that point forward.

    The second is quite more clear, the apocalypse happens Donnie is mortally wounded but manages to create a copy of his memory and personality into robot. Donnie is dead but his robot copy continues to live.

        In TMNT Donatello gets atomized and is not until the end of the episode where April uses her psychic powers to gather all the atoms and reconstruct him you can argue wherever that is the original Donatello or just a exact copy of him

        In StarTrek the teleportation machine definitely kills you because in the one episode where it malfunctioned it created to copies of the same person the one who came out of the teleporter and the one who got left behind in the planet.

          There are other episodes where it clearly just phases you outside of normal space and phases you back in again at a different point of base reality. I'm pretty certain there's an episode where we see being teleported from the first person perspective and you're conscious the whole time. There's also that scene in the original movie, when a couple of people die horribly when being beamed up the Enterprise. It's pretty obvious that they're conscious and then suddenly feel horrific pain from their bodies being phased back in the wrong way. They even assume that sending them back would fix it, but they were too far mangled for it to be undone. If it completely dissembles you, you wouldn't have time to scream. In the case with the two Rykers, the copy happened because the teleporters make a digital copy of your "wave pattern" just in case something fricks up. When Rykar got sent back, the atmosphere of the planet he was beaming off of reflected the copy back to the surface.

            Speaking of teleporters there was a character in the hitchhiker guide to the galaxy who got copied thousands of times because the teleporter she used broke and it kept making copies of her on loop, flooding the galaxy's job market and causing a crisis and all because nobody wanted to unplug the machine for the ethics of killing someone mid teleportation.

    Steven wasn't replaced by a clone, it was a past version of himself. The divergent point in the timeline was within the same episode, so the Steven from the rest of the series is the same person from every episode that came before, he just retconned the events of that episode out of canon.

    It happens all the time in time travel episodes but the reason people talk about it in Amphibia is because rather than a one-off gag episode it's instead the resolution to a dead serious death scene that takes up a third of the series finale
