Yeah I think Tara’s demise was justified because she became a root cause of why True Blood went downhill, Caitlin’s demise doesn’t count but Frost’s does although they “got over it” because Chilbane didn’t accept they were gone & that their was still a chance to bring them back. Maybe number 20 was kind’ve executed awkwardly but the justifications don’t make them that stupid & Coral’s demise was shown at the start of the s8 mid season premiere episode plus Dakota’s demise was very satisfying & poetic after she did in John. Finally your no 1 is a stupid pick
definitely cerise and Jamie 8 FREAKING SESONS OF BUILDUP AND CERSIE BEING SATAN AND JAMIE GROWING. TO JUST DIE BY RUBBLE?. CERSIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COOKED TO A CRSIP OR DEMOLISHED BY ARYA. Jamie should have "stayed face" (Wrestling character reference) not turned heel and stay with Brianne ...

I’m surprised Tracy from HIMYM wasn’t mentioned… all we heard was she got sick with around 8 seconds of screen time of her in a hospital bed and then daughter Penny saying ‘Mom’s been gone for 6 years now…it’s time’ after the reveal that Ted has been telling the story to justify trying yet again with Robin… more screen time was dedicated in s9 to Barney completing a saltine cracker eating challenge
Completely disagree with Jack's death being on here, let alone at number one. There's nothing stupid about it. A lot of times death is random and unfair, and comes from simple things that we overlook all the time. That's why it hit so hard with people; it was real.
especially the fact that he didn't actually die IN the fire, he died as a result of a heart attack brought on by smoke inhalation, and he only inhaled so much smoke because he went back to save kate's dog, which was a stray she had just brought home like 3 weeks earlier. he made it to the hospital and his vitals were good so they thought everything would be okay, only to find out how random, senseless and cruel life can be.
Fr I remember a family TH-cam channel I used to watch here and there and the son who was around a young adult died cuz of a condition he had it happens.
@@dietotaku They focused on Kate's dog and how she think it was her fault, but everyone forgets that he also went for the family photos and other stuff.
Thanks. Came to say this. Jack dying "because of a faulty crock pot" is an oversimplification written by somebody who just couldn't wait for their moment to trash the show. You worded your response better than I ever could've worded mine.
You missed a huge chunk of why Romano's death on ER was bad. He had earlier gotten his hand chopped off by a helicopter. So to them have another helicopter kill him it was like helicopters were somehow his arch enemy, out to get him.
yes, his death would have been much more dramatic if he had a full redemption arc first. they only teased at one then pulled the plug. the helicopter thing was cheap. the first time it was awesome, but the death scene was just premature ej.. with a cheap prostitute who kinda looks like the love of your life but old and ugly
I’m STILL real mad about how Criminal Minds killed off Gideon’s character. It was wholly unnecessary. Yes, fans wanted Mandy Patinkin to come back, but realistically we knew how he felt about his time on the show and knew it wouldn’t happen. His original exit was a beautiful moment. He got to just walk off into the sunset to live in peace and quiet. Then years and years later he gets bested by an unsub? I have a hard time believing that would happen. It was a slap in the face to the fans and the character himself. He deserved to keep his original exit
i agree they should've just kept his original exit his ending him leaving off into the sunset and finding peace was a much better ending for his character.
At most they could have just had the unsub make them think they got to him but in an ending scene have Reid receive a letter and it left upto the viewer to decide if it was from Gideon revealing he was alive and well or not. Like a callback to how he let Reid know he was leaving etc;
carl was killed off because his actor turned 18 which meant he was suppose to get an increase in pay. in the comics, he is actually the last survivor and is retelling the story to his kid
There was an interview where he talked about wanting out of the show. It had gotten too stressful and was interfering with his school and home life. He left the show because he wanted to focus on school instead of acting, so they had to write him out of the story, and they decided to just kill him off, since anyone who had read the comics wouldn't see it coming. I'm sure there was probably some money grubbing involved too, but the actor actually did want to leave as well.
to be honest they had such a horrid way of killing characters off (charlie, castiel, dean - off the top of my head as the main ones but there are certainly more)
the worst mistake TWD made was killing off Carl because Carl was the main reason for Rick to be around because in the comic Judith didnt survive so yeah Carl was Rick's rock. Carl was meant to outlive them all, so by killing off him Rick's reason to stick around vanished
The reason Carl was killed was because Chandler Riggs turned 18. He went to the studio to renegotiate his contract to be paid more as he was now an adult and was in far more episodes than anyone else except Rick/Daryl/Carol. Rather than paying him as an adult, they killed him off instead.
Exactly. They knew he would have a much larger role going forward, because they were going keep in line with how his character makes it to the end of the comics. But once he asked for a fair shake when it came to pay they killed him off.
But didn’t he die in the comics? I actually haven’t watched since Glenn, Carl, and Abraham died 😓 so I don’t remember. Anyone who I knew died in the comics, I expected to die on the show
I think Laurel Lance's death in Arrow was pointless. She died, then. her evil alternate self was immediately brought to The Flash, who then escaped and came BACK to arrow.
The showrunners' decision to kill Laurel Lance so Oliver Queen/Green Arrow can be together with Felicity Smoak as a endgame was one of the controversial and dumbest decisions CW had ever done.
Jamie and Cersei’s death did me in. Jamie had taken 10 steps forward then 1000 steps back when he went back to that witch after helping in the North and Cersei deserved a horrible death after all she had done, she got a more humane death than anyone else. It would have been perfect if Arya had the face of Jamie and then killed Cersei, making Cersei think it was him who killed her then Arya would have gotten her revenge!
I personally think Jamie didn't even deserve his redemption arc in the first place. He also got plot armoured a lot for a show that "doesn't do plot armour". Even if Adrian of Tor not wanting to finish him off, even though major characters were killed off by people who were even more randos than her at the time, fine I guess that makes sense. But in season 7 when he was charging the Mother of Dragons the Dragon really should've incinerated him. Dying to defend a homeland he abandoned would've been a much better cap to his redemption arc the character imo didn't deserve. I do agree your idea with Arya finishing them both off is better than what we got lol
talking about "she deserved worse": in the books, the Mountain dies poisoned by Oberyn's spear, alright -- same as in the show. BUT they explain he went thru tremendous suffering up until his demise and return as Ser Robert Strong (BTW the shittiest name in the whole series). He screamed in agony for days. But nothing was mentioned in the show about that. Sigh.
I was way more upset with Fred. I liked her so much more when it happened. Maybe that says something with how Cordelia's downfall was so long in the making, that it was almost sort of a relief when she was gone. Fred was sudden and unacceptable in a world of magic and monsters. And we never got closure for Fred by the end
@@JadenYukifan28Just like Caitlin/Khione in The Flash But yeah, Fred’s death seemed as pointless as any on this list, especially when she ‘returned’ to calm Wesley as he died in the finale I’d also add Tasha Yar in TNG (suffocated by a tar/glibber hybrid) and what was meant to be the final demise of Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1 (a slow death by irradiation to save people who hadn’t wanted his help and were trying to make him leave)
No tv death is dumber than Xena's. Six seasons of Xena working to overcome her traumatic past and murderous behaviors only to last minute have the message of the show be that you cannot ever make up for the wrongs of your past unless you die.
It made absolute sense as a means to effectively end the war between Rick and Negan without one side getting destroyed, plus it proved that absolutely NO ONE is immune or safe from getting killed off, just like in life!
@@ryangordon133 you mean the same head writer that got “canned” yet became head of ALL TWDU productions!? The same Scott M Gimple that has the final say on every story decision?? Only thing laughable is your lack of actual research or know how of what you spew…
You forgot about Dean Winchester. Killed off after 15 seasons cheating death, only to be killed by falling into a rusty rebar. And having enough time to say goodbye and giving up, but not enough to call for help?? Worst season finale ever and even the actor hated the way his character came to an end.
I read that the finale of The Winchesters (the prequel made by Jensen Ackles) actually helped to fix and improve the finale of the OG show, which got heavily impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic. They had to rewrite the last two episodes and scrap most of the cameos planned due to travel restrictions.
@@MrRonald2796 it was a great show. But it didn’t fix or undo the ending of the OG show. And the finale was not bad because of the lack of cameos and the lack of cameos was not because of covid either. A lot of important characters were never even asked to come back. And if you watch the first episode and the final episode and no others, all you will have missed is 15 years going by. All the character growth and storylines were completely undone in those two final eps. Dean Winchester was dragged to hell and came back. Among other ways he died. But he really dies by falling on a rusty rebar? And in heaven doesn’t go see anyone? Covid made things difficult to film. But they could have waited. They could have taken all kinds of measures. Plus they did have room for unknown vampires. But not for the family members and friends they made along the way? They ruined the entire show. The show Jensen made, makes it a little easier to rewatch the OG show. But even most of the cast pretends the last two episodes don’t exist and haven’t seen them and the rest don’t talk about it or say they don’t agree with how it ended. And nobody of the crew or anyone besides cast members that worked on the show, ever talked about the ending of a show of 15 years. Which is telling. Also: they may have rewritten parts of the last two episodes. But the showrunners said it went the way they wanted it to. So they didn’t change much. But then again most aren’t allowed to talk about it still. So we may never know the truth about why it went the way it did.
In my opinion, they should have ended the series on the episode before.. Jack taking away Chuck’s powers Last Airbender style was a good way to end the series. It was a shitty season anyway…. The series finale felt pointless! Even Jensen hated the way it ended, even much do that he had to go to Kripke to tell him it was okay.
@@robanah I agree with most, but I also didn’t enjoy that episode. Mainly because they didn’t bring back Eileen or Cas and just glossed over everything. But yes Kripke having to convince Jensen, who played that character for 15 years… That just says it all about how wrong it is. And then he got convinced. It must have been such a punch in the gut that fans hated it. And now his show is cancelled too. Just sucks.
1:41 It's also worth mentioning that Paul McCrane (Robert Romano) had the best over-the-top death scene in cinematic history. Hey was the toxic waste guy in Robocop.
I was sure that #1 was going to be Dean Winchester in the series Supernatural, for him to die in the finale by falling on a piece of rebar literally EVERYONE could see was terrible. Another one I feel equally undeserved was Jadzia Dax in the series Deep Space Nine, she had been a main and much loved character since the beginning of the series and was simply murdered by an evil spirit being while visiting a chapel.
@@pattierotondo1108 Thats was all down to the producers wanting to prevent her from working on other projects, while other actors like Avery, were permitted to.
Dean's was even worse because not only did it make zero sense ~coughbadwritingcough~ but they then reversed fifteen seasons of character development and made him act so out of character (though everybody was out of character in that episode). Plus, he'd had a history yet they still had him die by assisted s**c***. Not cool, not cool at all. And even after all that, it's not even on this list. 😓
@@VampAmber I don't know how much of the ending they had to change because of COVID. Jensen Ackles said everyone was supposed to be in Heaven at least. I thought either Sam and he would both die saving the world or get the lives they deserved, but Dean to die like that was disappointing.
Agree 100% about Tara in True blood. I was so beyond peed that they did that to her. She was my favourite female in the show so I was really upset. I actually don't agree with Ben and Vivian in AHS Murder House. Always thought it was building up to that and so it was inevitable.
@@Hahnfruh True, that was sudden and unsatisfying (and probably the main reason I raged quit on Star Trek for a while), but at least it came from Gul Ducat, a respected antagonist, and not some random black blob that to my knowledge was never encountered again.
And Tripp on Enterprise, I’m sticking with the Beta Cannon that he faked it all to join Section 31 and stop the Romulans from developing faster ships than the Federation.
Carl Grimes of the Walking Dead had survived to the end of the comics series. His death needs to be the No. 1 stupidest death. Carl's death is one of the reasons why The Walking Dead slowly began to loose its appeal.
If you thought Penguin shooting Butch was stupid, you clearly missed the genius behind the buildup to that scene. Gotham may have had its flaws, but I promise you, the writing behind Penguin was not one of them.
I honestly forgot about the deaths of Cersei and Jaime Lannister... and it brought back memories of the stupid deaths of many others from Game of Thrones. Daenerys and The Night King for example...
Considering that they wrapped up the entire series in a shortened final season, it felt rushed, poorly written, and badly edited. For such a brilliantly cast and acted tv series, it felt like the production side of the show had already vacated their offices in a rush to go on holiday.
@foolofatook1271ugh Varys was the absolute worst. A master spymaster basically walking around and saying "hey I'm gonna betray Daenerys" and then executed? So dumb
@@joshuahiltpold248 even his actor was so disappointed about the death scene during the table read that his fellow actress friends hugged him and shared his same reaction when the actors themselves hated how they were written in that final season, you knew it was gonna be shit lol
Everyone was so angered by Carl's death, that the story runner who green lit it, Scott M. Gimple, was fired as show runner. He was still a producer, but he was not allowed to make any more decisions sorry wise. Fans were much happier with his replacement, Angela Kang.
Great movie. I, for one, loved the campiness and dark humor. As a side note, much of the film was made in Dallas. The controller of the "ED 209" in that crazy malfunction scene was Jerry Haynes, a local celebrity known as "MR. Pepperment" to a generation of kids. I went to school with his son, Gibby. I actually played in his first band at the Senior talent show. He named the band "Maximillion and his Malignant Marauders". He later was front man for "The Butthole Surfers". Jerry was one of the nicest men I ever met. So funny to see HIM in that role.
Cad Bane definitely isn't dead, but really how do you not include any stupid deaths from supernatural, Charlie being killed by the steins, Crowleys dumb sacrifice, Bobby by leviathans or Dean by a rusty pipe
Seven years later, and I'm still enraged over Lexa's death. It just seemed to be a cheap way to get Alycia Debnam Carey off the show, and I wish that they'd written her out more effectively.
Even though I have seen bits of the show, I'm curious on what the writers were thinking and if they think of LGBT people in that way. Yes, there have been some LGBT people who have been murdered, but many of them are still alive and living well for themselves and their partners.
@@trinaq I could also say the same thing about transgender characters as they’re either villains or their transition is used as a plot twist. In most cases, they're killed. While we're better with representing gay and trans people, we still have work to do.
Bellamy's death was way dumber because Clarke killed him just to not let Madi get harmed by the Disciples which happened anyway. Everything Bellamy's death was supposed to stop happened anyway, there was legit no reason to kill him.
So glad Carl from The Walking Dead is on this list. Same goes for John Dorie from the spin off Fear. I do love Season 6 of Fear but I hate how John dies.
@@robertreid1579 Season 6 was, my opinion, the best the show has ever been. But dear god does it go off a cliff in the next season! And the current and final season is even worse.
If you ever feel cheated by Carl Grimes’ death, find a copy of the final issue of The Walking Dead comic. It’s beautiful, but it runs the risk of pissing you off because of What Might Have Been in the TV show…
The weird thing about Khione in The Flash is that I actually really liked that she represented: the reason Frost exists is because there's actually an elemental power inside of Caitlyn that has been seeking emergence. I think it _could_ have been really awesome, but they spent so much of the last season with Barry and Iris going on an off-screen babymoon and a lot of episodes that tied up plot threads from other Arrowverse shows. It felt like the time would've been better spent developing a cohesive plot. They also threw Eddie in at the end and I thought that Eddie being revived and the Negative Speed Force trying to corrupt him could've also been great, but it was relegated to three episodes that made it feel kind of empty. Some strange decisions were made in the last season but I at least like where things mostly ended up.
Sliders, pretty much all four main character. Arturo: had him shot and left him on an alternate Earth, though may have not been the original Arturo Wade: died off-screen (written out after the actress declined to return when the show jumped from Fox to Sci-Fi Channel) Quinn: had him ‘merge’ with his brother Colin to create a new Quinn (after Jerry O’Connell left the show) Rembrandt: supposedly dies in season five finale, though his fate isn’t known for certain, as the series was cancelled after.
Dr. Romano's death pissed me off for a different reason. We -the viewers -had seen the side that he kept from other characters, which was that he secretly wasn't such a bad guy. Remember little Reese signing to Romano, after his examination? Obviously, he had a way with children. And pets: he brought his dog to the hospital to treat it himself, because he was such a good doctor that he didn't trust it to anyone else. He also encouraged Liz [Alex Kingston] to go to the side of her dying husband, Dr. Greene [ even though Robert had always loved her himself]. Yeah, he liked to troll people, but I found him much more likeable , relatable, and sympathetic [and damned funny] than most of the "cool kids" characters. {For the record, I NEVER liked Clooney's character. If they were going to kill someone off in such a fashion, I would have LOVED if it had been him and/or Julianna Whats-her-face. Just saying...]
Sorry, but Romano was such an overt jerk to everyone that I really enjoyed them dropping the helicopter on him. It was like they finally finished the job that originally took his arm off. I might even say it was one of my favorite scenes on the show. However, to your point, I would have been happy to see a big kill of Clooney as well. I never liked him either.

Carl was bitten ON-SCREEN when interacting with Siddiq outside Alexandria. He was pinned but Siddiq appeared to come to his aid in time. The reveal that he WAS bitten actually made some of the strange framing and timings of the scene make sense And Lexa’s death in The 100 was necessary and abrupt because Alycia Debnam-Carey had just signed on as a series regular in the new show Fear The Walking Dead
I loved Rosiland's death in L.A. Law, mainly because it was punily foreshadowed with the title of the episode, Good To The Last Drop. Prue's death in Charmed was cheap though, they simply switched sisters' demise in the end of the episode though you don't know about it until the next season.
What got me with Prue's death is that, they showed Shax attacking both Piper and Prue but then in at the beginning of the next Episode, you only see Piper standing. You don't really see Leo healing her or attempting to heal Prue.
@@TheXion92 I figured that out after the fact, but I was referring to what was going on between the time the two were killed and how Piper was the only one of the two who were still standing.
As much as I hate to say it, Dean Winchester from Supernatural had an incredibly disappointing end. 15 seasons/years of character development, accomplishing some of the most amazing feats such as: defeating God, killing the devil, killing death itself, enduring decades of torture in Hell, being possessed by a demon, the mark of cain and the archangel Michael, surviving purgatory and slaying hundreds of deadly creatures… only to die by being being impaled by some short bit of spike…
Did he die though? That was only a holographic recording of known history, a history Section 31 created after Trip went working undercover for them following the NX-01 decomission. It would have helped had they actually carried on the series and explained this.
Really surprised you didn't include the initial death of Tasha Yar from Star Trek the Next Generation. It not only disappointed fans, it was so bad they had to do some convoluted time/space distortion to bring the character back to give her the ending she deserved! Few shows have had a death so unsatisfactory they had to find a way to write the character back in to fix their mistake!!!
The more I think about the SPN ending, that could have easily happened to any of them during a hunt if God hadn't been shaping their lives. He didn't just, die on a piece of rebar, he died on a hunt. Now that they were officially free, no one was protecting them anymore. My only real gripe is Dean didn't get to live long enough to really enjoy it. But that's the life of a hunter.
The ER death was indeed horrible. The scene where the helicopter took his arm was great, only to end his character like this... they made us hate him, made us hate him even more, then killed him off just when he was starting to show his humanity. They really should have either kept him evil and let him live, or gave him a full redemption arc and killed him after he was redeemed... better drama that way.
Gabriel. In Supernatural. Gabriel was "killed" before and then he showed up alive and sooo many fans were excited about it, then they killed him again only a few episodes later...
NCIS had the character of Ziva killed off screen AND at the same time revealed that she had a kid with Tony THAT NOBODY IN A GOVERNMENT AGENCY WITH GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CONTACTS EVER KNEW ABOUT. Then they use him raising the kid as an excuse for him leaving the show. It was some of the most nonsensical writing possible.
For me the two I hated were Tara from True Blood. The off-screen killing was just so cheap, she was a main character and deserved better. The other one that annoyed me was Klaus from The Originals. His death was totally needless. He could easily have been left alive and had a happier ending. Also on The Originals, the death of Hayley. That was such a disservice to her character.
Man, killing Carl Grimes was such a stupid decision. Gimple put the final nail in the coffin after both Carl and Glenn. Such a waste of character and storyline.
Tara's death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, another kill the Gay character moment and Leonard Snart in Legends of Tomorrow. I pretty much stopped watching both shows after those deaths.
Well Taras actress Amber Benson wanted to be written out of the show, same with Wentworth Miller who didn't want a longer lasting role in the CW DC verse.
Carl's death in TWD was the "jump the sharks" moment. I thankfully checked out as the show limped along on life-support a few more years. It was sad to see such a quality show turn into that. I wish they would have taken ques from Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, etc.. and chose to go out on top.
@@yoelmprieto7817 They actually didn't tell most of the people on the set about Blake's death. Only Radar had that part in his script, so the reactions of the cast were real.
the death of lenard snart in dc legends will always make me so mad. most of the deaths in this series were terrible too. martin stein, rip hunter, atom, constantine, etc. all done so dirty
No, Jack died of a heart attack caused by too much smoke inhalation from the fire. Something they call a widow maker, that's actually a very real thing. It was a very emotional and moving moment that is pretty crucial to a lot of the plot points and character developments.
Jamie, I'm on the fence about it, but Cersei got what she deserved. She was such a narcissist and attention seeker, she deserved to be unceremoniously buried under a pile of rubble with no one knowing where the "Queen" disappeared to, lost and (hopefully) forgotten except as a small piece of Westeros history.
I don't get number 1. Not really into the show, but isn't This is US kind of a family drama? House fire while not the most common of death, is a very real thing. Was the character suppose to dead in some dramatic and implausible way?
And somehow, AGAIN, season 15 finale of Supernatural missed being on a list!! The last 10 seasons of the show was an incredible slow burn, but this is the one penultimate of the entire thing that put a nail in the show (pun very much intended)!
While not "explosive," I think Cad Bane's death was acceptable. I didn't want him to die either, however, it is somewhat appropriate he was killed by Boba Fett, who is the real world reason he even exists. So, it's closing a circle in a sense.
Before watching the video - and knowing that this is about individual characters - my #1 is and always generally will be: OFF SCREEN, especially when it's someone who is or was part of the main cast.
Personally, I liked Mathews death in Downton. He finally gotten past the war, started walking again, married the love of his life, had a kid. It was the happiest point of his life so of course they needed to kill him off. Downton was many things but a happy show wasnt one of them.
Very true. I said elsewhere his death made sense. He wasn't paying attention and driving fast. Downton Abbey really was a drama. I rarely like dramas, but this one had me really going. Halfway expected the father to die. They came really close to doing it.
How are these deaths stupid? They're all valid plot points, and the majority of them are things that could happen realistically... in the universe where these places exist. I loved the helicopter accident in ER. That shit was intense. It was also very poetic. AHS Murder House - that wasn't wholly unexpected. It's called American Horror Story... that implies bad shit happens. LA Law - that elevator misstep was stunning and freakish, but accidents happen.
i’ll never forgive them for killing villanelle, her character development was so good and they deserved a happy ending, season 4 ruined the show i think
but killing a character that's supposed to survive until the end of the story...just because the actor turned 18 and wanted to get paid an ADULT salary? Fear the walking dead? nah, FUCK "The Walking Dead"
Definitely need parts 2-100😂 most of those shows had the stupidest death for many other characters too. Poor Bellamy from the 100 was a clear retaliation from the producers for Bob needing time off to deal with his Mental Health.
Ok. Carl's death isn't a surprise to Walking Dead fans. We did our research and he was on the Talking Dead telling everyone he outgrew the show and wanted to finish school and do different things. His death hit hard but wasn't surprising. Only surprising thing is he survived in the comics after getting bitten but die in the show. But hey, we knew he wanted out.
Jadzia Dax's death in DS9 was totally stupid and unnecessary. I know the actress wanted a reduced role, that doesn't mean they had to kill her character off.
#1 wasn't stupid at all. He wasn't killed by a crock pot, he was killed by smoke inhalation from the house fire. Add this video to a list of the stupidest ways WatchMojo videos ended.
*The 100* really DESERVED the full 24 episode season treatment, rather than the short 13 episodes run for 6 years. Lots of potential and many missed opportunities there.
Anyone remembers how Ghost Whisperer killed Melinda's husband for like , 10 seconds, the revived him in the body of another man while still being played by the same actor. All for an "amnesia" storyline that lasted half a season. In the end, everything went exactly to how it was......
I don't get why they're calling Jacks death the stupidest when it is the absolute most realistic. No stupid fantasy around it. The guy dies in a housefire. Like a lot of people do. Usually because of electrical issues. They just called the most realistic death, one that countless people can identify with, the stupidest. Way to go WM.
Remember earlier in ER, Dr. Romano lost an arm in another accident with an helicopter. Later the show made fun of this when a character quipped than "in a previous incarnation, Romano must have done something awful to a helicopter ".

Would’ve swapped it for Maul in Rebels. Yeah he & Obi Wan were both old at that point but there should’ve been a bit more effort with that final confrontation
@@davidlance5310 the simplicity is what makes that fight so good. Maul saw that Obi-Wan was mimicking Qui-Gon’s fighting style so he attempted to do the same fatal blow that he had performed decades ago, but that was exactly what Obi-Wan was anticipating

I’m surprised Tracy from HIMYM wasn’t mentioned… all we heard was she got sick with around 8 seconds of screen time of her in a hospital bed and then daughter Penny saying ‘Mom’s been gone for 6 years now…it’s time’ after the reveal that Ted has been telling the story to justify trying yet again with Robin… more screen time was dedicated in s9 to Barney completing a saltine cracker eating challenge
Completely disagree with Jack's death being on here, let alone at number one. There's nothing stupid about it. A lot of times death is random and unfair, and comes from simple things that we overlook all the time. That's why it hit so hard with people; it was real.
especially the fact that he didn't actually die IN the fire, he died as a result of a heart attack brought on by smoke inhalation, and he only inhaled so much smoke because he went back to save kate's dog, which was a stray she had just brought home like 3 weeks earlier. he made it to the hospital and his vitals were good so they thought everything would be okay, only to find out how random, senseless and cruel life can be.
Fr I remember a family TH-cam channel I used to watch here and there and the son who was around a young adult died cuz of a condition he had it happens.
@@dietotaku They focused on Kate's dog and how she think it was her fault, but everyone forgets that he also went for the family photos and other stuff.
Thanks. Came to say this. Jack dying "because of a faulty crock pot" is an oversimplification written by somebody who just couldn't wait for their moment to trash the show. You worded your response better than I ever could've worded mine.
Seriously.... That show is episode after episode of brilliant writing, and this storyline is yet another example.
You missed a huge chunk of why Romano's death on ER was bad. He had earlier gotten his hand chopped off by a helicopter. So to them have another helicopter kill him it was like helicopters were somehow his arch enemy, out to get him.
Not only that, eff him. He was a jerk to everyone. Sure, he had some good moments every once in awhile but eff him. Karma. Lol.
I loved that kill. It was like the helicopter finally finished the job that we had hoped for the first time.
Still a stupid death. The show absolutely jumped the shark for me after that scene.
yes, his death would have been much more dramatic if he had a full redemption arc first. they only teased at one then pulled the plug. the helicopter thing was cheap. the first time it was awesome, but the death scene was just premature ej.. with a cheap prostitute who kinda looks like the love of your life but old and ugly
Exactly what I was thinking. Hubby's grandmother and I were shocked to see him killed off, and by a helicopter yet.
I’m STILL real mad about how Criminal Minds killed off Gideon’s character. It was wholly unnecessary. Yes, fans wanted Mandy Patinkin to come back, but realistically we knew how he felt about his time on the show and knew it wouldn’t happen. His original exit was a beautiful moment. He got to just walk off into the sunset to live in peace and quiet. Then years and years later he gets bested by an unsub? I have a hard time believing that would happen. It was a slap in the face to the fans and the character himself. He deserved to keep his original exit
i agree they should've just kept his original exit his ending him leaving off into the sunset and finding peace was a much better ending for his character.
At most they could have just had the unsub make them think they got to him but in an ending scene have Reid receive a letter and it left upto the viewer to decide if it was from Gideon revealing he was alive and well or not. Like a callback to how he let Reid know he was leaving etc;
carl was killed off because his actor turned 18 which meant he was suppose to get an increase in pay. in the comics, he is actually the last survivor and is retelling the story to his kid
there are other characters that survived til the end. Michonne is a judge, Sophia is married to Carl and Maggie is President of the Commonwealth
@@ranwolf7650 yeah sorry you're right. Been a minute since i read that last volume
Really? Why didn't they just go with that route? That's a shame
@@aresdonachelo5283 Money, is almost always the answer.
There was an interview where he talked about wanting out of the show. It had gotten too stressful and was interfering with his school and home life. He left the show because he wanted to focus on school instead of acting, so they had to write him out of the story, and they decided to just kill him off, since anyone who had read the comics wouldn't see it coming. I'm sure there was probably some money grubbing involved too, but the actor actually did want to leave as well.
I will never forgive the writers of Supernatural for killing off Charlie in the stupidest, most gruesome way possible just to advance the plot.
to be honest they had such a horrid way of killing characters off (charlie, castiel, dean - off the top of my head as the main ones but there are certainly more)
THIS! I was so damn angry at the show that they did but boy did it hurt the hurt and the feels when her body was discovered by Dean 😢
@@CadmusAU Dean was the correct person to find her. Definitely heartwrenching. I still cry every single time.
@@leighnicole100 I agree - it made the feels hurt even more 😅 that was done well - I just loved Charlie as a character waaaaay too much 😞
Or how they killed off Crowley. That too was bullshit!
the worst mistake TWD made was killing off Carl because Carl was the main reason for Rick to be around because in the comic Judith didnt survive so yeah Carl was Rick's rock. Carl was meant to outlive them all, so by killing off him Rick's reason to stick around vanished
Yeah, Carl's the main point of the comics ending. They completely screwed that up
The reason Carl was killed was because Chandler Riggs turned 18. He went to the studio to renegotiate his contract to be paid more as he was now an adult and was in far more episodes than anyone else except Rick/Daryl/Carol. Rather than paying him as an adult, they killed him off instead.
Exactly.
They knew he would have a much larger role going forward, because they were going keep in line with how his character makes it to the end of the comics. But once he asked for a fair shake when it came to pay they killed him off.
Such idiots
And also he wasn't bitten offscreen. We see the moment he was bit when he was helping the Indian dude
@@Silverude That doesn’t count
But didn’t he die in the comics? I actually haven’t watched since Glenn, Carl, and Abraham died 😓 so I don’t remember. Anyone who I knew died in the comics, I expected to die on the show
I think Laurel Lance's death in Arrow was pointless. She died, then. her evil alternate self was immediately brought to The Flash, who then escaped and came BACK to arrow.
The showrunners' decision to kill Laurel Lance so Oliver Queen/Green Arrow can be together with Felicity Smoak as a endgame was one of the controversial and dumbest decisions CW had ever done.
It’s been rumored Guggenheim hated Katie Cassidy and there’s quite a bit of evidence to support that claim
Not only that, when Oliver remade the multiverse in Crisis on Infinite Earths, he brought everyone who died back instead of her.
@@hobyboy07 Glad Guggenheim essentially got blacklisted after Arrow ended.
“Well, that’s just lazy writing.”

Jamie and Cersei’s death did me in. Jamie had taken 10 steps forward then 1000 steps back when he went back to that witch after helping in the North and Cersei deserved a horrible death after all she had done, she got a more humane death than anyone else. It would have been perfect if Arya had the face of Jamie and then killed Cersei, making Cersei think it was him who killed her then Arya would have gotten her revenge!
I personally think Jamie didn't even deserve his redemption arc in the first place. He also got plot armoured a lot for a show that "doesn't do plot armour". Even if Adrian of Tor not wanting to finish him off, even though major characters were killed off by people who were even more randos than her at the time, fine I guess that makes sense. But in season 7 when he was charging the Mother of Dragons the Dragon really should've incinerated him. Dying to defend a homeland he abandoned would've been a much better cap to his redemption arc the character imo didn't deserve. I do agree your idea with Arya finishing them both off is better than what we got lol
That would be perfect, to bad that they didn’t use that as a ending for Cersei
I was sure he was going to King’s Landing to kill Cersei…. But I was boo boo the fool :(
Exactly plus the Valonqar prophecy would have made sense.
talking about "she deserved worse": in the books, the Mountain dies poisoned by Oberyn's spear, alright -- same as in the show. BUT they explain he went thru tremendous suffering up until his demise and return as Ser Robert Strong (BTW the shittiest name in the whole series). He screamed in agony for days. But nothing was mentioned in the show about that. Sigh.
The death of Cordelia on Angel. Still pissed how dirty Whedon did Charisma Carpenter.
Yeah, I know. It still makes me mad to this day.....
I was way more upset with Fred. I liked her so much more when it happened. Maybe that says something with how Cordelia's downfall was so long in the making, that it was almost sort of a relief when she was gone. Fred was sudden and unacceptable in a world of magic and monsters. And we never got closure for Fred by the end
@@thebroken0wastaken True, but at least we got to see a new character be shown even if she was played by the same Actress.
@@JadenYukifan28Just like Caitlin/Khione in The Flash
But yeah, Fred’s death seemed as pointless as any on this list, especially when she ‘returned’ to calm Wesley as he died in the finale
I’d also add Tasha Yar in TNG (suffocated by a tar/glibber hybrid) and what was meant to be the final demise of Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1 (a slow death by irradiation to save people who hadn’t wanted his help and were trying to make him leave)
@@garibaldilebeau Don't get me started on Tasha Yar's death, that was way to sudden.....
No tv death is dumber than Xena's. Six seasons of Xena working to overcome her traumatic past and murderous behaviors only to last minute have the message of the show be that you cannot ever make up for the wrongs of your past unless you die.
Killing Carl Grimes was so unbelievably stupid I simply cannot wrap my head around it. Literally killed the whole purpose of the show
It made absolute sense as a means to effectively end the war between Rick and Negan without one side getting destroyed, plus it proved that absolutely NO ONE is immune or safe from getting killed off, just like in life!
Right? And knowing how experienced he is around walkers, it's what put me off the walking dead.
@@collegebro85lmao your defense of it is laughable seeing as the head writer got canned for his decision to kill off Carl.
@@ryangordon133 you mean the same head writer that got “canned” yet became head of ALL TWDU productions!? The same Scott M Gimple that has the final say on every story decision??
Only thing laughable is your lack of actual research or know how of what you spew…
@@collegebro85 Scott Gimple was replaced by Angela Kang after Season 8. Looks like you are the one that needs to do research.
You forgot about Dean Winchester. Killed off after 15 seasons cheating death, only to be killed by falling into a rusty rebar. And having enough time to say goodbye and giving up, but not enough to call for help?? Worst season finale ever and even the actor hated the way his character came to an end.
I read that the finale of The Winchesters (the prequel made by Jensen Ackles) actually helped to fix and improve the finale of the OG show, which got heavily impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic. They had to rewrite the last two episodes and scrap most of the cameos planned due to travel restrictions.
@@MrRonald2796 it was a great show. But it didn’t fix or undo the ending of the OG show. And the finale was not bad because of the lack of cameos and the lack of cameos was not because of covid either. A lot of important characters were never even asked to come back. And if you watch the first episode and the final episode and no others, all you will have missed is 15 years going by. All the character growth and storylines were completely undone in those two final eps. Dean Winchester was dragged to hell and came back. Among other ways he died. But he really dies by falling on a rusty rebar? And in heaven doesn’t go see anyone? Covid made things difficult to film. But they could have waited. They could have taken all kinds of measures. Plus they did have room for unknown vampires. But not for the family members and friends they made along the way? They ruined the entire show. The show Jensen made, makes it a little easier to rewatch the OG show. But even most of the cast pretends the last two episodes don’t exist and haven’t seen them and the rest don’t talk about it or say they don’t agree with how it ended. And nobody of the crew or anyone besides cast members that worked on the show, ever talked about the ending of a show of 15 years. Which is telling. Also: they may have rewritten parts of the last two episodes. But the showrunners said it went the way they wanted it to. So they didn’t change much. But then again most aren’t allowed to talk about it still. So we may never know the truth about why it went the way it did.
Yes! Like are you freakin kidding me?
In my opinion, they should have ended the series on the episode before.. Jack taking away Chuck’s powers Last Airbender style was a good way to end the series. It was a shitty season anyway…. The series finale felt pointless! Even Jensen hated the way it ended, even much do that he had to go to Kripke to tell him it was okay.
@@robanah I agree with most, but I also didn’t enjoy that episode. Mainly because they didn’t bring back Eileen or Cas and just glossed over everything. But yes Kripke having to convince Jensen, who played that character for 15 years… That just says it all about how wrong it is. And then he got convinced. It must have been such a punch in the gut that fans hated it. And now his show is cancelled too. Just sucks.
The way Tara was done in True Blood will never not piss me off. They clearly didn't know what to do with her character.
THANK YOU.
#stillmad
And Bill.
What about another Tara from "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer"? The one that gave name to the "Bury Your Gays" trope, it belongs on this list.
Bullshit!!
Especially when the bullet or bullets Warren fired would have never gone through the window to hit her straight in the heart . RIP Tara
I am STILL pissed about that
Nah, the way Dean Winchester died after all the things he survived has got to be the most absurd death ever.
What was stupid about Shepard's death was how the nurse who knew what she was doing but was ignored bore the brunt of the blame after.
I was hoping he would be immune.
She was the original attending doctor on his case and the face that they decided to pin all their grief PTSD on when she transferred to their hospital
She wasn't a nurse.
What nurse?
1:41 It's also worth mentioning that Paul McCrane (Robert Romano) had the best over-the-top death scene in cinematic history. Hey was the toxic waste guy in Robocop.
I was sure that #1 was going to be Dean Winchester in the series Supernatural, for him to die in the finale by falling on a piece of rebar literally EVERYONE could see was terrible. Another one I feel equally undeserved was Jadzia Dax in the series Deep Space Nine, she had been a main and much loved character since the beginning of the series and was simply murdered by an evil spirit being while visiting a chapel.
Jadzia was my favorite character on DS9. I was so angry about her death that I didn't watch the rest of the series.
@@pattierotondo1108 Thats was all down to the producers wanting to prevent her from working on other projects, while other actors like Avery, were permitted to.
Dean's was even worse because not only did it make zero sense ~coughbadwritingcough~ but they then reversed fifteen seasons of character development and made him act so out of character (though everybody was out of character in that episode). Plus, he'd had a history yet they still had him die by assisted s**c***. Not cool, not cool at all. And even after all that, it's not even on this list. 😓
@@VampAmber I don't know how much of the ending they had to change because of COVID. Jensen Ackles said everyone was supposed to be in Heaven at least. I thought either Sam and he would both die saving the world or get the lives they deserved, but Dean to die like that was disappointing.
Agree 100% about Tara in True blood. I was so beyond peed that they did that to her. She was my favourite female in the show so I was really upset. I actually don't agree with Ben and Vivian in AHS Murder House. Always thought it was building up to that and so it was inevitable.
I’d add Tasha Yar from Star Trek:TNG, killed very suddenly by a giant tar monster.
Jadzia got it stupid too due to Berman being a bitch.
Dax from DS9 was worse though
@@Hahnfruh True, that was sudden and unsatisfying (and probably the main reason I raged quit on Star Trek for a while), but at least it came from Gul Ducat, a respected antagonist, and not some random black blob that to my knowledge was never encountered again.
And Tripp on Enterprise, I’m sticking with the Beta Cannon that he faked it all to join Section 31 and stop the Romulans from developing faster ships than the Federation.
I was gonna say that. Yes. She deserved a way better death.
Khion was such an unnecessary addition to the flash.
Alot was for that show.
At least we got Caitlin back for the finale
What what I hate about her the most is how she defeated Zoom, who broke Barry into doing Flashpoint, without much effort
Hush for Batman? Popular at all?
Thank you katlyns story was all over the place I mean a 3rd personality that was a elemental God? Really?
Carl Grimes of the Walking Dead had survived to the end of the comics series. His death needs to be the No. 1 stupidest death. Carl's death is one of the reasons why The Walking Dead slowly began to loose its appeal.
If you thought Penguin shooting Butch was stupid, you clearly missed the genius behind the buildup to that scene. Gotham may have had its flaws, but I promise you, the writing behind Penguin was not one of them.
I honestly forgot about the deaths of Cersei and Jaime Lannister... and it brought back memories of the stupid deaths of many others from Game of Thrones. Daenerys and The Night King for example...
Considering that they wrapped up the entire series in a shortened final season, it felt rushed, poorly written, and badly edited. For such a brilliantly cast and acted tv series, it felt like the production side of the show had already vacated their offices in a rush to go on holiday.
@foolofatook1271ugh Varys was the absolute worst. A master spymaster basically walking around and saying "hey I'm gonna betray Daenerys" and then executed? So dumb
@@joshuahiltpold248 even his actor was so disappointed about the death scene during the table read that his fellow actress friends hugged him and shared his same reaction
when the actors themselves hated how they were written in that final season, you knew it was gonna be shit lol
@@martinde-serres8724 lol I saw the clip, man legit threw that script on the table like a disappointed father with his kids report card
everyone who died in S7 & 8 died stupidly.
Everyone was so angered by Carl's death, that the story runner who green lit it, Scott M. Gimple, was fired as show runner. He was still a producer, but he was not allowed to make any more decisions sorry wise. Fans were much happier with his replacement, Angela Kang.
But they made him chief content officer
Fun fact. Paul McCrane was also in Robocop as Emil. The guy who got turned into toxic waste near the end of the movie.
Great movie. I, for one, loved the campiness and dark humor. As a side note, much of the film was made in Dallas. The controller of the "ED 209" in that crazy malfunction scene was Jerry Haynes, a local celebrity known as "MR. Pepperment" to a generation of kids. I went to school with his son, Gibby. I actually played in his first band at the Senior talent show. He named the band "Maximillion and his Malignant Marauders". He later was front man for "The Butthole Surfers". Jerry was one of the nicest men I ever met. So funny to see HIM in that role.
I was wondering why he looked so familiar. RoboCop is one of my favorite movies, I just haven't seen it in a few years.
Cad Bane definitely isn't dead, but really how do you not include any stupid deaths from supernatural, Charlie being killed by the steins, Crowleys dumb sacrifice, Bobby by leviathans or Dean by a rusty pipe
Seven years later, and I'm still enraged over Lexa's death. It just seemed to be a cheap way to get Alycia Debnam Carey off the show, and I wish that they'd written her out more effectively.
Even though I have seen bits of the show, I'm curious on what the writers were thinking and if they think of LGBT people in that way. Yes, there have been some LGBT people who have been murdered, but many of them are still alive and living well for themselves and their partners.
@@kamsismith Preach, I hate when writers succumb to the whole "Bury your Gays" trope, as if they can't receive their own happy endings.
@@trinaq I could also say the same thing about transgender characters as they’re either villains or their transition is used as a plot twist. In most cases, they're killed. While we're better with representing gay and trans people, we still have work to do.
@@kamsismith Precisely, at least gay and Trans people have moved beyond being the butt of many a joke, and progress is still progress.
Bellamy's death was way dumber because Clarke killed him just to not let Madi get harmed by the Disciples which happened anyway. Everything Bellamy's death was supposed to stop happened anyway, there was legit no reason to kill him.
So glad Carl from The Walking Dead is on this list. Same goes for John Dorie from the spin off Fear. I do love Season 6 of Fear but I hate how John dies.

If you ever feel cheated by Carl Grimes’ death, find a copy of the final issue of The Walking Dead comic. It’s beautiful, but it runs the risk of pissing you off because of What Might Have Been in the TV show…
They already ruined what might have been when they killed Sofia.
I feel like random deaths like car crashes are pretty realistic in that, sometimes, life just bends you over a rail and says "Nope, you are done".
The weird thing about Khione in The Flash is that I actually really liked that she represented: the reason Frost exists is because there's actually an elemental power inside of Caitlyn that has been seeking emergence. I think it _could_ have been really awesome, but they spent so much of the last season with Barry and Iris going on an off-screen babymoon and a lot of episodes that tied up plot threads from other Arrowverse shows. It felt like the time would've been better spent developing a cohesive plot. They also threw Eddie in at the end and I thought that Eddie being revived and the Negative Speed Force trying to corrupt him could've also been great, but it was relegated to three episodes that made it feel kind of empty. Some strange decisions were made in the last season but I at least like where things mostly ended up.
Sliders, pretty much all four main character.
Arturo: had him shot and left him on an alternate Earth, though may have not been the original Arturo
Wade: died off-screen (written out after the actress declined to return when the show jumped from Fox to Sci-Fi Channel)
Quinn: had him ‘merge’ with his brother Colin to create a new Quinn (after Jerry O’Connell left the show)
Rembrandt: supposedly dies in season five finale, though his fate isn’t known for certain, as the series was cancelled after.
The irony.
Goldbridge: “we don’t know who rios source is”
Also goldbridge: “my very good source”
Dr. Romano's death pissed me off for a different reason. We -the viewers -had seen the side that he kept from other characters, which was that he secretly wasn't such a bad guy. Remember little Reese signing to Romano, after his examination? Obviously, he had a way with children. And pets: he brought his dog to the hospital to treat it himself, because he was such a good doctor that he didn't trust it to anyone else.
He also encouraged Liz [Alex Kingston] to go to the side of her dying husband, Dr. Greene [ even though Robert had always loved her himself]. Yeah, he liked to troll people, but I found him much more likeable , relatable, and sympathetic [and damned funny] than most of the "cool kids" characters. {For the record, I NEVER liked Clooney's character. If they were going to kill someone off in such a fashion, I would have LOVED if it had been him and/or Julianna Whats-her-face. Just saying...]
Sorry, but Romano was such an overt jerk to everyone that I really enjoyed them dropping the helicopter on him. It was like they finally finished the job that originally took his arm off. I might even say it was one of my favorite scenes on the show. However, to your point, I would have been happy to see a big kill of Clooney as well. I never liked him either.

I know that Carrie was in shock, but she could have easily called an ambulance for Big. A case of anti product placement, if I ever saw one!
I'm not particularly a fan of Peleton myself.
Just cause he didn’t do anything wrong
The ambulance never would’ve made it on time.
The "backlash" against Peloton lasted all of a hot minute. They're doing fine now, and what they're charging is evidence of that.
As much as Charlie’s death was a downturn to the show, Berta’s comment ‘never cross a crazy woman’ is still awesome
Carl was bitten ON-SCREEN when interacting with Siddiq outside Alexandria. He was pinned but Siddiq appeared to come to his aid in time. The reveal that he WAS bitten actually made some of the strange framing and timings of the scene make sense
And Lexa’s death in The 100 was necessary and abrupt because Alycia Debnam-Carey had just signed on as a series regular in the new show Fear The Walking Dead
I loved Rosiland's death in L.A. Law, mainly because it was punily foreshadowed with the title of the episode, Good To The Last Drop. Prue's death in Charmed was cheap though, they simply switched sisters' demise in the end of the episode though you don't know about it until the next season.
What got me with Prue's death is that, they showed Shax attacking both Piper and Prue but then in at the beginning of the next Episode, you only see Piper standing. You don't really see Leo healing her or attempting to heal Prue.
Shannon left the show amidst arguments with everyone. Hence why Prue was killed. She was fired.
@@TheXion92 I figured that out after the fact, but I was referring to what was going on between the time the two were killed and how Piper was the only one of the two who were still standing.
As much as I hate to say it, Dean Winchester from Supernatural had an incredibly disappointing end. 15 seasons/years of character development, accomplishing some of the most amazing feats such as: defeating God, killing the devil, killing death itself, enduring decades of torture in Hell, being possessed by a demon, the mark of cain and the archangel Michael, surviving purgatory and slaying hundreds of deadly creatures… only to die by being being impaled by some short bit of spike…

Trip in the last episode of Enterprise. The episode just didn't have enough time to do it justice, so it had no impact.
Did he die though? That was only a holographic recording of known history, a history Section 31 created after Trip went working undercover for them following the NX-01 decomission. It would have helped had they actually carried on the series and explained this.
Thanks WatchMojo.
I just skipped 20 shows I will never watch but now I can talk about something at the coffee machine.
Really surprised you didn't include the initial death of Tasha Yar from Star Trek the Next Generation. It not only disappointed fans, it was so bad they had to do some convoluted time/space distortion to bring the character back to give her the ending she deserved! Few shows have had a death so unsatisfactory they had to find a way to write the character back in to fix their mistake!!!
WHAT ABOUT DEAN? I mean he survived so much and he was taking out by a piece of rebar!!!!!
The more I think about the SPN ending, that could have easily happened to any of them during a hunt if God hadn't been shaping their lives. He didn't just, die on a piece of rebar, he died on a hunt. Now that they were officially free, no one was protecting them anymore. My only real gripe is Dean didn't get to live long enough to really enjoy it. But that's the life of a hunter.
The ER death was indeed horrible. The scene where the helicopter took his arm was great, only to end his character like this... they made us hate him, made us hate him even more, then killed him off just when he was starting to show his humanity. They really should have either kept him evil and let him live, or gave him a full redemption arc and killed him after he was redeemed... better drama that way.
What I find strange is that he just stands there as the fiery Helicopter just falls on top of him....
Gabriel. In Supernatural.
Gabriel was "killed" before and then he showed up alive and sooo many fans were excited about it, then they killed him again only a few episodes later...
NCIS had the character of Ziva killed off screen AND at the same time revealed that she had a kid with Tony THAT NOBODY IN A GOVERNMENT AGENCY WITH GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CONTACTS EVER KNEW ABOUT. Then they use him raising the kid as an excuse for him leaving the show. It was some of the most nonsensical writing possible.
For me the two I hated were Tara from True Blood. The off-screen killing was just so cheap, she was a main character and deserved better.
The other one that annoyed me was Klaus from The Originals. His death was totally needless. He could easily have been left alive and had a happier ending. Also on The Originals, the death of Hayley. That was such a disservice to her character.
I don't mind Cad Bane. I liked his screen time and his death I don't mind. Plus we thought Boba Fett was dead, so maybe he might be back.
It's just that he was badass in the clone wars and went out to easily I think

There is a strong hint at the end of the series that Cad Bane is in Fett's Bacta tank, which is why he was not using it
@@iestyn11 No that was the Marshal from Freetown
@@bennywark3103 Ok cool, that works too for the setting
Man, killing Carl Grimes was such a stupid decision. Gimple put the final nail in the coffin after both Carl and Glenn. Such a waste of character and storyline.
You missed Dean Winchester being killed by a rusty nail
What the hell are you guys talking about? Jacks death by something as mundane as a faulty kitchen appliance was brilliant for a show like this.
Jack didn't die in the house fire. He died from a heart attack later at the hospital.
*Najma's death in "Ms. Marvel" looked like it belonged in the video game "Dragon's Lair."*
I didn't know that anyone actually watched ms marvel, to even care about a death in it.
Tara's death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, another kill the Gay character moment and Leonard Snart in Legends of Tomorrow. I pretty much stopped watching both shows after those deaths.
Well Taras actress Amber Benson wanted to be written out of the show, same with Wentworth Miller who didn't want a longer lasting role in the CW DC verse.
Carl's death in TWD was the "jump the sharks" moment. I thankfully checked out as the show limped along on life-support a few more years. It was sad to see such a quality show turn into that. I wish they would have taken ques from Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, etc.. and chose to go out on top.
Seeing Carl's death makes me glad we 86'ed the show right after Negan killed Abe and Glenn.
It's a good thing Colonel Blake (shot down over the Sea of Japan) wasn't on this list, otherwise I'd be down right annoyed.
Tbf, his death makes sense cause it is during war time, so the shock that he was shot down felt real
@@yoelmprieto7817 They actually didn't tell most of the people on the set about Blake's death. Only Radar had that part in his script, so the reactions of the cast were real.
That episode and Dreams really were sad. I'm glad they made more than a comedy out of the show.
@@dwightgrant6360 And let's not forget about the episode with the bomber pilot.
Tbf, regardless of how silly it was, Dr. Romano had it coming.
Would've been funny if he died from toxic waste like in Robocop.
i had not idea cad bane was supposed to be a popular character. so for me his death seemed quite good for me.
Illana from Lost should be on here. She was set up to have massive importance to Jacob and then suddenly after a speech they blow her up like Artz
the death of lenard snart in dc legends will always make me so mad. most of the deaths in this series were terrible too. martin stein, rip hunter, atom, constantine, etc. all done so dirty
No, Jack died of a heart attack caused by too much smoke inhalation from the fire. Something they call a widow maker, that's actually a very real thing. It was a very emotional and moving moment that is pretty crucial to a lot of the plot points and character developments.
Prue halliwell from charmed and Tara from buffy should have been on here
Prue's Death was Due to Shannen Doherty's behavior on set
Jamie, I'm on the fence about it, but Cersei got what she deserved. She was such a narcissist and attention seeker, she deserved to be unceremoniously buried under a pile of rubble with no one knowing where the "Queen" disappeared to, lost and (hopefully) forgotten except as a small piece of Westeros history.
I don't get number 1. Not really into the show, but isn't This is US kind of a family drama? House fire while not the most common of death, is a very real thing. Was the character suppose to dead in some dramatic and implausible way?
I think the same
I don't know what they talk about but, the series kept going strong
And somehow, AGAIN, season 15 finale of Supernatural missed being on a list!!
The last 10 seasons of the show was an incredible slow burn, but this is the one penultimate of the entire thing that put a nail in the show (pun very much intended)!
I'm surprised Tracy from How I Met Your Mother isn't on here.
Yeah, that one was really twisted. I wish she had gotten more air time. She really was the one for him.
i think the worst case of this was in Angel. how they just killed off Cordellia Chase. the character disserved a better and more meaningful ending
While not "explosive," I think Cad Bane's death was acceptable. I didn't want him to die either, however, it is somewhat appropriate he was killed by Boba Fett, who is the real world reason he even exists. So, it's closing a circle in a sense.
How about stupid characters that should've been killed? #1: Wesley Crusher, sentenced to death for stepping on some flowers.
I love how 80% of this list is actually more realistic in how people can die. The writers deserve more credit..
That’s okay because Dakota got to experience nuclear winter. Now she’s a charred mannequin on a patch of radiated land. 😂😂😂
Before watching the video - and knowing that this is about individual characters - my #1 is and always generally will be: OFF SCREEN, especially when it's someone who is or was part of the main cast.
Tasha Yar in Star Trek TNG was the dumbest in my books. Kick ass character, weak and useless death.
Personally, I liked Mathews death in Downton. He finally gotten past the war, started walking again, married the love of his life, had a kid. It was the happiest point of his life so of course they needed to kill him off. Downton was many things but a happy show wasnt one of them.
Very true. I said elsewhere his death made sense. He wasn't paying attention and driving fast. Downton Abbey really was a drama. I rarely like dramas, but this one had me really going. Halfway expected the father to die. They came really close to doing it.
How are these deaths stupid? They're all valid plot points, and the majority of them are things that could happen realistically... in the universe where these places exist.
I loved the helicopter accident in ER. That shit was intense. It was also very poetic.
AHS Murder House - that wasn't wholly unexpected. It's called American Horror Story... that implies bad shit happens.
LA Law - that elevator misstep was stunning and freakish, but accidents happen.
Killing Shepard in Grey's was just a sign that they were going down hill
4:50 There's no guarantee he died, the lights on his outfit, which seemed to signify a heartbeat with their rhythm, were still going.
i’ll never forgive them for killing villanelle, her character development was so good and they deserved a happy ending, season 4 ruined the show i think
Lol she murdered innocent people. She did not deserve a happy ending.
Sometimes people die from stupid causes. Everyone, real or not can’t get an epic death
but killing a character that's supposed to survive until the end of the story...just because the actor turned 18 and wanted to get paid an ADULT salary?
Fear the walking dead? nah, FUCK "The Walking Dead"
Definitely need parts 2-100😂 most of those shows had the stupidest death for many other characters too. Poor Bellamy from the 100 was a clear retaliation from the producers for Bob needing time off to deal with his Mental Health.
Ok. Carl's death isn't a surprise to Walking Dead fans. We did our research and he was on the Talking Dead telling everyone he outgrew the show and wanted to finish school and do different things. His death hit hard but wasn't surprising. Only surprising thing is he survived in the comics after getting bitten but die in the show. But hey, we knew he wanted out.
Jadzia Dax's death in DS9 was totally stupid and unnecessary. I know the actress wanted a reduced role, that doesn't mean they had to kill her character off.
Uhh, Jack didn't die in the house fire, he had a heart attack in the hospital AFTER the fire and then died. Sheesh.
#1 wasn't stupid at all. He wasn't killed by a crock pot, he was killed by smoke inhalation from the house fire. Add this video to a list of the stupidest ways WatchMojo videos ended.
*The 100* really DESERVED the full 24 episode season treatment, rather than the short 13 episodes run for 6 years. Lots of potential and many missed opportunities there.
Anyone remembers how Ghost Whisperer killed Melinda's husband for like , 10 seconds, the revived him in the body of another man while still being played by the same actor. All for an "amnesia" storyline that lasted half a season. In the end, everything went exactly to how it was......
God I remember that. The show was already going downhill slowly, that just added the nail to the coffin.
How about Aiyesha Tyler's character actually being the dead one, not her brother? That was so stupid to me!
I was so choked when Warrick Brown was killed off in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
I don't get why they're calling Jacks death the stupidest when it is the absolute most realistic. No stupid fantasy around it. The guy dies in a housefire. Like a lot of people do. Usually because of electrical issues. They just called the most realistic death, one that countless people can identify with, the stupidest. Way to go WM.
Remember earlier in ER, Dr. Romano lost an arm in another accident with an helicopter. Later the show made fun of this when a character quipped than "in a previous incarnation, Romano must have done something awful to a helicopter ".
Helicopter 2 - Unfinished Business.

The helicopter death of Romano was amazing.
Rosalind in the elevator shaft was completely out of the blue and was super effective.
Idk if id count cad bane on the list as resource materials even say he may not be dead
Would’ve swapped it for Maul in Rebels. Yeah he & Obi Wan were both old at that point but there should’ve been a bit more effort with that final confrontation
@@davidlance5310 the simplicity is what makes that fight so good. Maul saw that Obi-Wan was mimicking Qui-Gon’s fighting style so he attempted to do the same fatal blow that he had performed decades ago, but that was exactly what Obi-Wan was anticipating
