Has any protagonist taken more of an asskicking than Shadowsight? From getting struck by lightning, pitched down a cliff, swallowing death berries, and getting generally battered by Ashfur to the point of a concussion, I have kind of realized upon looking back that he takes a massive amount of abuse compared to your average protagonist. ALITM doubles down on this too, dear lord I lost count of how many times Ashfur rolled up on him and beat him to near death, not to mention the mind violations I feel like at this point, someone's gotta make an AMV or something with It's a Hard Knock Life being applied to this poor boy.

There's practically an attempt on his life in every book. If there isn't one, then he has a near-death experience of some kind. The poor guy really just can't catch a break, can he? I hope after TBC he's allowed to rest and live peacefully.

He for sure is. But now I really want that AMV idea to actually happen.
This poor boy definitely deserves a permanent break from getting beat up all the time. I just hope that Shadowsight can spend the rest of his days being a well cared for ShadowClan healer.

That boy must be made of iron, he survived so much. I imagine he looks like someone put him through a shredder, because he definitely would receive some scars from the all the beatings he's taken. I really hope that poor guy can catch a break now, he's been through so much.

I feel bad for him. After everything that’s happened to him he now can’t even speak to Starclan in dreams.

I remember everyone was convinced that he wouldn't survive being thrown off a cliff and how shocked everyone was when he did. Shadowsight's bones must be made out of steel because that's the only way I can see him surviving all that or it's just plot armor.

I sorta wish he'd actually died at the cliff. I remember after the cliffhanger it genuinely seemed like he'd been murdered
I loved the idea of a dead protagonist and was pretty disappointed when he somehow magically survived
Tbh I don't like Shadowsight much since he's just a fragile little cat but survives so much, it's a bit annoying lol

Agreed, it is a bit annoying.
I was hoping for him to be iced, because at that point in the story he didn't serve much of a purpose except to be everyone's punching back. He would have had more use dead than alive. It can be easily said now that Shadowsight has the most ridiculous amount of plot armor than any other character in the series, even more than his own father, smh.

His back-to-back close-calls really take away from the already fading sense of mortality. Not to mention how annoying it was to see other characters get bumped down and twisted simply to punch on him more. The writer's already had a ton of sympathy for him, why ruin characters like Mothwing and Puddleshine just to make him suffer? What was the purpose, even? In the beginning I liked Shadowsight early on, but now the arc is finished, all I can readily remember him for is the fact he was a victim.
