Spottedleaf was killed off twice so "Firestar wouldn't have to choose between her and Sandstorm" and to "see the better side of Spottedleaf". But why? We all know very well that Firestar clearly loves Sandstorm over Spottedleaf. Spottedleaf just needed to get over it and move on. The Erins could have just developed her into a better character by supporting Sand X Fire in a more healthier way instead of just killing her off in the Great Battle.
Ferncloud was also killed off because a lot of people complained about her. But seriously? Just show the better side of Ferncloud! Throw her into battles to defend her kits to prove that she is still a warrior.
I just don't understand why these cats have been killed off for these reasons when the Erins could have simply developed them into a more surprising character that we don't expect. It would have been more interesting instead of blaming us for Fern's death or whatnot and killing them off.

The main intention to kill off Spottedleaf was to show the best side of her character though. Firestar not having to choose was really more of a bonus, honestly, and like you said, it was obvious that he would choose Sandstorm either way.
Anyway, I feel like Spottedleaf's death would've had more impact had she been better developed instead of dying in the first book before we ever got to really know her, and being obsessed with Firestar and his kin throughout the rest of the books up to her second death.
As for Ferncloud's death, I get what they were trying to do and I like how they gave her a noble death, but the fact that they killed her off just because of complaints from fans just really bothers me. It just seems odd and honestly kind of lazy that Ferncloud was killed off because of that and for no other reason at all. They didn't necessarily have to kill her off, either. They could've just shown her fighting like they did with Daisy.
I get it can be hard to develop characters, especially if they don't do much, but just something would be nice, especially with all the time we spend in ThunderClan.
