these are the killings that left a
little too much to the imagination
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
disappointing deaths of great movie
characters for this list we’re looking
at the big-screen deaths that simply
disappointed us after such a great
showing from these characters
to be featured the characters must be
loved by many but suffered a death that
left us wanting more
the worse the death the more
disappointed we get and for obvious
reasons we have to issue a spoiler alert
here
number ten Saruman the Lord of the Rings
The Return of the King this night the
land will be stained let’s go back in
time to 2003 and remember the epic
conclusion to the famous fantasy trilogy
so you have come here for information I
have something for you you guys remember
when one of its top antagonists was
killed off right no of course you don’t
because the scene was cut from the
theatrical release and was only shown in
the extended cut your life will be
spared save your pity and your mercy I
have no use fight well for those who
have seen the white wizard get axed you
can tell that you certainly didn’t miss
much a stabbing by his own servant Grima
and a long fall are all that you get
here if you even got it at all
number nine Darth Maul Star Wars Episode
one The Phantom Menace
no handless teaser trailers and
pixelated MPEG files littered screens in
1999 with only the black and red face of
a new Sith Lord to keep us at bay
there’s no denying the awesome look of
Darth Maul and the terror of his
wonderful do a lightsaber with Ray Park
playing a brand-new villain for a
brand-new trilogy in the Phantom Menace
we could only imagine the battles that
we might have oh no wait he’s gone after
taking on two Jedi and killing Obi Wan’s
mentor Maul suddenly becomes ineffective
randomly raining sparks down on Obi one
whom he positioned to hang on for dear
life thus allowing his foe to recover
and slice him as he just stood there
dumbfounded weak so much for the high
ground being an advantage number eight
Llewellyn Moss No Country for Old Men
after getting himself involved in a drug
deal Llewellyn Moss finds himself on
constant guard from the tenacious Anton
Chigurh you’re going to shoot me that
depends a film with more in common with
the Terminator than a typical Western
the two characters in question have a
series of near misses and powerful
confrontations but what about their
final showdown I don’t come back to a
mother I love her well we don’t see it
all we get is the lifeless bloody body
of the vietnam war vet with no context
of how Anton got to him and we never
find out either
thanks Coen Brothers thanks number seven
Vincent Vega pulp fiction you know what
they call a quarter pounder with cheese
and pear clearly an ensemble cast movie
but after spending the better part of an
hour solely with John Travolta we think
it’s fair to start placing bets on who
our favorite character might be making
the biggest impression in the film
Vincent Vega is not the most friendly of
mental Bush but we were hoping that
wouldn’t come back to bite him sadly it
does and within seconds our star is gone
without a single word in his goodbye it
just goes to show that no matter how
important to the plot you might be you
can still get robbed on your death scene
number 6 Joe Brody Godzilla fan drop
after starring as Walter White on TV
Bryan Cranston was the king of the world
alongside the meth industry so why would
you axe him out of your film in its
first half page frequent teasers and
trailers led fans to believe that the
small screen chemistry teacher was the
star attraction alongside his co-star
Godzilla but what we got was sadly much
different
delivering a fantastic performance as he
goes along Joe Brody succumbs to
injuries in a helicopter after he was
harmed while trying to escape the
monster before things in the movie can
really get going
Cranston put on a brilliant performance
and the film is now remembered for his
early death being a missed opportunity
we’re losing him Joe can you hear me
he’s going into afib give me another epi
one milligram number five
Scott Summers / Cyclops x-men The Last
Stand this film promised an epic fight
with mutants of all shapes and sizes
including those who need to wear cool
sunglasses all the time team Scott but
the one-eyed Newton is axed in act
number one after being killed by his
resurrected girlfriends within minutes
with no chance to even complete his
story it’s reported that James Marsden
didn’t mind having a smaller role in
this third x-men installment but
personally we could have done with a
little more Cyclops
number four captain james t kirk Star
Trek generations he’s the famous
Starfleet captain that brought together
generations of fans so perhaps he might
find his end on the bridge of a starship
or gracefully through old age with a
twinkle in his eye
ah no how about getting crushed by a
rusty bridge and said and make it
different oh yes we made a difference
the prestige and legacy of William
Shatner Kirk is engrained into
everyone’s minds as generations was his
seventh Star Trek film appearance but
also his last they started
but the captain of the enterprise so
after fighting Klingons on a dying
planet and going back in time it’s a
simple bridge that finishes them off
number three Bane the Dark Knight Rises
a mask of the moon babe
not even Gotham’s reckoning can get out
of a cheap debt Cruiser could be after
destroying the Dark Knight himself and
sending him into a pit for months on end
fans and audience expected and wanted a
fantastic final showdown between the two
Titans of DC brother what we got was a
stab in the back or gut in this case by
Talia al Ghul who has a disappointing
death all her own but how shall bane
overcome the odds well he won’t because
Catwoman either drives into Bane or
shoots him or something happens
literally blinkin you miss it this death
had fans leaving the theater genuinely
confused about whether or not Bane was
actually dead about the whole no guns
thing I’m not sure I feel as strongly
about it as you do number two picks mute
and Bishop alien 3 what about bishop who
should the droid that crashed with me
within minutes of the opening titles
making their appearance
three of the four survivors from the
last alien movie are snapped up before
our eyes quiet
after narrowly avoiding the perils of
aliens a face hugger begins its attack
on the remaining survivors naturally
they escape right except they don’t and
are left for dead and buried before the
audience can find their seats of course
it would have been difficult to explain
why nude was six years older all of a
sudden but that still isn’t an excuse
for this what the actual hell Hey
feeling my legs hurt before we unveil
our topic here are a few honorable
mentions
sarah connor was cremated in mexico her
friends scattered her ashes in the sea
distort dis weapons in accordance with
her will number one
Boba Fett Star Wars Episode six Return
of the Jedi
no disintegration as you wish
everyone’s favorite stoic and silent
bounty hunter deserved far far better
than this you may take Captain solo to
Jabba the Hutt after I have Skywalker
he’s no good to me dig his rustic
aesthetic is only a highlight on top of
his cool attitude as Boba Fett
associates himself with whoever pays
best rather than any specific moral code
he’s all yours bounty hunter but it’s
all ruined when Han Solo accidentally
whacks Boba Fett in his back and sends
him rocketing to be eaten by the Sarlacc
turning the vicious bounty hunter into a
cartoon character the loudest piece of
dialogue he ever has is a Wimpy shriek
as he’s digested over several thousand
years for shame so do you agree with our
list which big screen characters do you
think deserved a better death you are
terminated
for more non disappointing top 10s
