On long-running TV shows, characters tend to die quite often; it’s what keeps a show interesting after all. But certain characters, those that become loathsome for whatever reason, become the target of the audience’s ire, and we wished they left the show earlier than they did.
Not all of these characters are villains, some are just side characters that we don’t want to see anymore. Conflict is an important part of storytelling, but considering how hard it was to watch these characters on the screen, a bit less conflict would’ve sufficed. They did meet their end, but not soon enough.
Joffrey Baratheon, Game of Thrones
Joffrey’s cruelty became so unbearable that audiences spent multiple seasons waiting for someone, anyone, to finally poison him before the show eventually delivered one of television’s most satisfying deaths.
Ramsay Bolton, Game of Thrones
Ramsay remained horrifyingly untouchable for far too long, repeatedly torturing characters while escaping consequences until viewers practically celebrated once his own dogs finally turned against him.
