Well, true that there is those deaths, but remember everything was okay in the end for those people. Their spirits were soothed, all of their regrets, so they were able to pass on happy. And their affairs in the world were dealt with as well. And everyone was saved, all the problems were solved. While MM had a theme of doom, I saw the story more as one of hope than of dread.
If we're talking deaths, though, remember, TP had a lot of death too, even if you never saw all of it.
Aw, I like this avatar.
