On the contrary, which fictional death had you cheering?

[wolfie]

Jake Featherstone in Harry Turtledove's "Lost orders were recovered immediately, resulting in the Confederates winning the Civil War" series.

Piet Hardie and Augustus Rhoodie in The Guns of the South (also by Harry Turtledove).

He's written 2 series (one "alternative history based on normal events", one high fantasy with a twist - think of North America spun 180 degrees so cardinal directions are reversed, so the Confederates are actually the North) and one stand-alone (involving a time machine) where the South wins.

Spider Geroan in "After Long Silence" by Sheri S Tepper. Such a perfect death for that villain.

[Sapphire Silk]

Content: Joffrey Baratheon. Of course.

I was so happy to see him go, pretentious little prick. Though I cheered when Janus Slynt bought it as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing Walder Frey get his.

Mr. Morden on Babylon 5. Actually, it was more Vir's reaction to his death that had me cheering, but Morden had it coming.

Hands down my favorite scene in the whole series. Damn, I've got to watch B5 again. It's been awhile.

Vir was my favorite character in the whole show.

The Governor on The Walking Dead

I'll cheer when Rick buys it. Fucker is the biggest villain on the whole damn show. He's left a trail of death and destruction everywhere he goes with his situational ethics, pretentious morals, lack of a moral compass, indecisiveness, and flat out cowardice.

I get that he won't go until the series does. I quit watching in Season 3. I'll watch the series finale just to watch him buy it.

Everyone the Punisher killed, because they all had it coming, but ESPECIALLY {swipe in-between these tags with your cursor to reveal the spoiler}the District Attorney{end of spoiler}!

I was all like "bye Felicia!"

[greek_jester]

Wesley Crusher on ST:TNG. He was such an annoying little sod. Pity it didn't take.

Vizzini in The Princess Bride. Arrogant little shit who didn't even know what his favourite word actually meant.

Count Rugen in The Princess Bride. I actually stood up with a fist-pumped "Yes" the first time I watched it as a teenager.

The Emperor from Star Wars. This also ties in with the weepiness, since I promptly teared up when Vader pegged it.

[Pixi_kitty]

Kai Winn from Deep Space 9.

[Athaelia]

In Elysium: That evil Delacourt woman (Jodie Foster's character) and John Carlyle's deaths were justified. Carlyle is the epitome of a snotty, elitist Moron In Management. Delacourt was a power hungry bitch. I always joke that if Elysium was real, lots of Armydine employees would join Customers Suck in droves to vent about their shitty and abusive bosses!

The thing is, just like District 9 before it, Elysium IS about real life. It's an allegory. To those of us that live in the United States, Elysium is Beverly Hills, CA. To the rest of the world, Elysium is the U.S.A.

No mention of Tywin Lannister?

He sponsored the Red Wedding massacre. He heaped a lifetime of insults and humiliation on his son Tyrion, all for the crime of being born a dwarf.

Watched his death scene twice. Drank a glass of rum each time. Felt like shit the next morning, but totally worth it

Other upstanding specimens of humanity from GOT who richly deserve the Seven Hells but still have yet to make the trip include:

- Ramsey Bolton
- Roose Bolton
- Walder Frey
- Littlefinger

Mr. Morden on Babylon 5. Actually, it was more Vir's reaction to his death that had me cheering, but Morden had it coming.

Tywin was a hard ass prick, but he didn't revel in violence for its own sake.

He put a stop to the torture of prisoners at Harrenhal not because he had a problem but because he was pragmatic. The prisoners could work. His back and forth with Arya Stark in the TV version (doesn't appear in the novel) was one of the best sub plots of the TV series.

I wasn't sorry to see him get his, but he was an interesting and entertaining character, so it didn't come quite with the satisfaction of watching Joffrey, Janus Slynt, or Meryn Trant buy it.

I should add, I will be very happy to watch Cersei finally get her comeuppance. I don't think she learned a thing from poking the bear that is the Faith of the Seven.

Tyrion's first wife Tysha might beg to disagree, though that plot point wasn't covered in the TV version of Tywin's death scene. Also Tywin counted as his allies people who did revel in violence. Like the Mountain, and later the Freys and the Boltons.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Also Twyin put that little shitstain Joffrey in is place, twice. That's something

[Zellie Crescent]

Ramsay Bolton, that mother fucker had it coming. I cheered when Jon beat the shit out of him and when Sansa let his dogs eat him alive, it was a much more satisfying way to kill off an asshole then Jofferey.

[gremcint]

Jon was basically acting out our fantasy in that scene.

[Rosco the Iroc]

Phil Lerterado (sp) in the final Soprano's.

A few...

1. Judge Doom, from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". From the moment he murdered that poor shoe, I was longing for his death. There's just something hideous about the whole concept of "Dip" as well as the joy he seems to take from using it. So it was entirely fitting that it killed him in the end.

2. Saruman from LoTR. He was basically an all round arsehole; when I first read the book, I was angry when Treebeard let him go, cuz I wanted him to die. But eventually, he did. (If you have just seen the movies, he also dies in the extended version by being stabbed, falling off the tower and being impaled on spikes. Even better than in the book!)

3. Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter. Yes, I know we're all supposed to root for Voldemort's death, but he was just evil. Pettigrew betrayed his friends and was basically a cowardly, horrible person, so his eventual death was more satisfying, especially the way it happened.

4. Carl Bruner from "Ghost". Even before I knew he was the villain, there was just something creepy about him. When I did find out, then I definitely wanted him dead. Even tho, when I first saw "Ghost" as a child, the black shadows that dragged him away scared me half to death. O_o

5. Jabba The Hutt from "Return Of The Jedi". He killed that Twi'lek dancer for no reason! That monster!
