...Just Needed Killin'!

[DrNewGod]

The most satisfying character's death in all of Cinema (or TV/Streaming) history was...?

I'd like to come back with more, but the one that always hit me as sweet relief was Tara on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". She was such a Debbie Downer, especially compared to the rest of the crowd. Just sullen and adding absolutely nothing to the show. Even setting aside the Dark Willow ending to the season which was pretty fun I was just glad to have that anchor off the show. I think she stood out for me because most you would typically think of wanting to see get killed off are designed to be hated and to root for their deaths, where I don't think that was the intention with Tara.

Ramsay Bolton’s death in Game of Thrones. I would have put Joffrey above him, except the story rolls from Joffrey’s death to Tyrion framed for it. In comparison, just seeing Sansa feed Ramsay to his own dogs and getting a bit of catharsis herself means the audience got to enjoy it a bit more.

Count Rugen.

This! Ramsay was my most hated character in book/tv history ever. I was so looking forward to it.

Speaking of Buffy, well, the death of Buffy at the end of season 5 was pretty damn satisfying. In the sens that it was meaningful, well executed, moving and a quite fitting way to go for a slayer.

It was a fantastic way to end the show and boy, i sure as hell could have done without season 6 and 7.

I will second Ramsay and Joffrey. And add Cersei, but that should have come sooner.

Also, Gollum from LOTR.

Paul Riser's character Burke in "Aliens" soooo had it comin'...

Paul Riser's character Burke in "Aliens" soooo had it comin'...

Yeah, that's a good one. Riser's spent so much of his career playing neurotic-but-likable characters, you forget how loathsome his Carter Burke was in that film.

"I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them [the Xenomorphs] f***ing each other over for a goddamn percentage!"

[j9ac9k]

Ha. Yeah, Burke was so terrible I don't think anyone minded that Hicks was about to straight-up murder the man in cold blood.

[Kirby101]

Hans Gruber

Yes for Ramsey, but Joffrey as well.

[DrNewGod]

Hans Gruber...

Gotta admit, that's YMMV for me. I thought his end inevitable, but I wasn't thirsting to see him get it they way I was Lor-Zod in the most recent season of Young Justice.

Another for me would be Bruce Dern's Asa Watts in The Cowboys. Deservedly appropriate and horrible end, with just the right touch of irony to it.

[MacrossPlus]

Mrs. Carmody from "The Mist"

Nurse Ratchet from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" lived, but when she was being choked, I admit I would not have minded if Jack finished her off.
