Reaction to the death of Spock was a precursor to fan outrage that we see today on social media, and it all started from Gene Roddenberry being mad that he was being sidelined from the movies.
In order to harass Paramount and cause them trouble, Gene knew fans would be pissed over the death of Spock, so he leaked his copy of the script to get the story out. Paramount knew he leaked it because scripts were watermarked (with subtle punctuation and typographical differences) and they traced it back to him.
This was before the internet, so the news spread around the convention scene and fanzines. It resulted in a huge backlash, letter writing campaign, and Meyer even got death threats over it.
Now it's the best TOS movie.

Spock’s final act in STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (1982) is comforting Kirk instead of fearing his own death. After everything they’ve been through, that goodbye hits unbelievably hard.View quoted post on X
