[@viaz8295]

I guess I'm gonna be the one to say it: There's nothing nothing wrong with making a disabled character annoying or less than the most likable. Just because someone is disabled doesn't mean he or she isn't human, they're gonna have flaws, because they're real, they're more than just one characteristic.

[@MsRee713]

And Gunnar Hansen said that he was going so full method that he forgot that he didn’t need the wheelchair and he would ask people to go get him stuff like a Dr Pepper and people would yell at him like oh there’s nothing wrong with you go get it yourself. He said it was the most satisfying kill that he was looking forward to the whole time especially since he would not be on set anymore after that even for callbacks. Read the book or listen to the audiobook written by and read by Gunnar Hansen himself before his death. You could tell he was incredibly smart even as an English Professor later in life. He seem to be very philosophical and I love all of the hidden secrets of the filming.

I hard core was waiting for Franklin to die. He was so annoying. Actor did a great job playing him

[@ScreamingScallop]

Franklin: Annoying? Yes. But his social ineptitude is completely understandable, as is his frustration; everyone in that van makes it clear that he's a fifth wheel and they abandon him at every opportunity. He blows raspberries like a child because that's his only option to release his frustration. Anyone _rooting_ for his death is just one small step removed from the bullies in _Carrie._

[@viaz8295]

@@ScreamingScallop Yeah actually I kinda agree, I didn't really like the nature of this list. I rarely "want" anyone to die in a movie, it just seems hateful. I was just trying to comment on how she said this was bad disabled representation because he was annoying. It shouldn't really matter, cause just cause someone's disabled doesn't necessarily mean they're a Saint too.

[@DrDespicable]

Same here. Not that the bullies didn't have it coming, too, but her mother was just an awful human being.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Carrie's mom doesn't count because she was the actual monster of that movie, never part of team victims. Though for the same reason, the whole movie doesn't really fit the list, because it has the supernatural killer as a tragic protagonist, so of course we'd be more likely to root for the death of her antagonists than for most characters from other movies who - while annoying and maybe not on best terms with the main protagonists - mostly were part of the group of good guys that were threatened by the movies primary villain/menace.

Those Carrie bullies totally had it coming, unfortunately others suffered along with them.

[@IChooseJesus9091]

Her Mom's death is very satisfying too.

[@StephaniedeBritoLeal]

Well, we can interpret it as that "evil wins when good people don't act against it". Almost none of Carrie's peers or the adults around her did anything to help or shield her from her bullies. And seeing how her Prom date got killed by the bucket hitting his head, there was no one nice else left. So I guess they all had it coming.

[@hasbullahsays860]

The problem with Franklin is less an issue with TCSM, and more an issue with movies in general. It's sad that the disabled character is annoying, but only due to the lack of representation of disabled people in other films. If disabled people with portrayed more often, it wouldn't be an issue, because realistically not every disabled person is likeable, so a character like Franklin would be more common.

You know, I never found Franklin annoying. He's frustrated because he was dragged along on a trip and then ignored and left alone the whole time, and given his disability, means he can't really do anything. Of COURSE he's pissed off... Also, he's the only one who actually starts to get what's going on.

[@epowell4211]

Just half-watched the movie again yesterday, and maybe it's because all my life I've been surrounded by narcissistic hypochondriacs, but I still saw him as a baby who used is disability to get preferential treatment and threw a tantrum when he wasn't spoiled. The scene where he refuses to let the girl take the flashlight to go find everyone was brutal. He had the vehicle. I understand the vulnerability of not being able to use your legs - I was disabled after a wreck and it was about a year before I could move them properly - but he was still a douchebag. Not every disabled person is a hero, a role model, an inspiration. Some are jerks, and not allowing for them to be human isn't fair.

The thing about Franklin being so unlikable is Tobey Hooper told Paul A. Partain to make Franklin as unlikable as possible and Paul pushed that to the limit, in confrences/interviews before his death he stated that he wished he'd made Franklin more likable as he himself had come to dislike his portrayal of the character "Come on Franklin, it's gonna be a fun trip *rasperries*"

[@DrDespicable]

I don't find the character so unlikeable, personally, but I can see why Hooper made that directorial choice - if the audience sympathizes too much with him, I think that could have worked against the movie as a whole, since the gruesome murder of a disabled person was (and still is) rather uncommon in films. In any case, I don't find his death especially "satisfying".

I totally agree with you. I don't understand how people think they could've survived trying to save the kid that ran into a dead end and with his wife on the other side of the room while zombies were pouring inside from the staircase in front of him. The zombies are dangerous to the point were even a scratch means you are transformed in the next ten seconds. He's not fit enough to throw the zombie in the staircase where a dozen more are just jumping up. She's dumb enough to run after a child that put his safety before the whole safety of the group which were living in that house. He panicked and ran to hide under a bed when adults were literally pulling him to safety. The mother ran after him forgetting about her own children and her husband to go after that kid. Then, she had the audacity to think that they would have a chance even if it meant sacrificing her own husband for a kid who they know for max 1 minute. I think that the only other possible outcomes were ending with a dead husband and kid because Don would be infected in the battle and have to sacrifice himself to being eaten alive downstairs. The kid would die because he wouldn't be able to run away anymore and he wouldn't make it to the boat in time which would mean that she would still be infected by protecting him or by trying to carry him to the boat with a horde was bolting towards their ass. The only reason, you would want him dead would be for the mistake of getting himself infected after managing to survive to tell to his children what really happened. They wouldn't understand because they are just some dumb kids who think that Don killed his wife when he told them there was no possible way they could've survived when they were attacked and went into the death area thinking it would be a nice little trip back home. Here's Nerd Explains saying his opinion on the same thing in his video about the subject from (9;11 to 10;05).

It could also be because he hasn't been able to own his choices and say out loud what he did was right and why he did not save his wife. If he would've shown logic, he would be better but he got too emotional letting his feelings get in the way of things. After his kids asked him what happened, he should have explained in details what happened and how he felt at that particular moment.

@@olliesmith2890 We are talking about the same zombies from 28 days later and even worst. One infected was already on top of the stairs and was about to kill Don if he would've tried to ludge at it. A dozen more jumped up towards her as she screamed. You are a lunatif if you think they had the slightest chance of getting away without dying either from the zombies or the horde outside. If you want to go in a fight, then go ahead. If someone is dooming me to die and with them while I could survive if I let them go. What is better three dead people and two orphans or two dead people and one able to tell the tale. Honestly, I thought about every possible way to save them. Pushing the infected down the stairs and throwing the idle in the staircase to get a bit of time to get them to safety but the probability of survival are of 30% against a threat who can kill with one drop of blood or one scratch. Even with that, as we saw in the movie, infected started to flood the upper floor in a matter of seconds literally climbing their way up. They broke the door when charging through it in 5 seconds. In that situation I would probably die. Don did everything he could've done in a few seconds. Fighting off infected with a weapon then running upstairs leading everyone to an exit. The kid panicked and ran away further in the house dooming someone to get him back. Don had a choice, no reset, no safe files to know what would happen, he made a choice. From his point of view, it must've look a bit like either die together or survive and see your children again.

True, but to be fair, that had nothing to do with the character. It was all about the character being played by the most hated person in entertainment business of that time.

That scene in Shaun of the Dead where Shaun and David argue about Shaun's mom and EVERYTHING comes out was one of the most unexpectedly emotional moments I've ever seen. Hits hard to this day and makes David's evisceration all the more bloody satisfying.

[@HankChinaski27]

Also (this being the reason I am probably single) I would have left my wife too in 28 Weeks (mind you I completely loathe this movie and think it should have never been made). He gave her every chance not to get devoured, and she chose some stranger's kid. The rules change when you have a hoard of flesh eaters at your door.

Yeah, everybody seeing The Mist in the theater when my husband and I went to see it simultaneously spontaneously cheered when Ms. Carmody bit it. It made it twice as satisfying because I knew I wasn't the only one wishing for her gruesome demise.

[@timhibbard4226]

What the F is wrong with you sociopaths?! Franklin is easily the most sympathetic and smartest character in Texas Chainsaw. He is in a old school manual wheelchair dragged into a stupidly dangerous situation by a bunch of morons. His reactions are entirely reasonable given his situation and how little care any of his supposed friends or own Sister show him especially when things start to go bad.

[@briansullivan5908]

Of course he had a manual wheelchair. You couldn’t afford an electric one in 1974 unless you were a Getty.

[@timhibbard4226]

Totally, I was just trying to highlight how at the mercy of his friends and Sister he is in this situation and none of them show him much regard or consideration. Not even his Sister when things start to get scary. Honestly their treatment of him basically kills any sympathy I had or could have for any of the other characters. His is actually the ONLY death in the movie I really have sympathy for. So I guess I am the complete opposite of all of these supposed droves that hate him.

[@gh02tdu2t]

i dont really know why everyone hates franklin so much. hes the only one who paid attention to and pointed out the red flags. he had completely valid reasons to be afraid

[@eddiejc1]

I can understand why this film is left out because it is seen more as a science-fiction or thriller film than a horror film. Also, this list tends to focus on horror films where there is a long list of characters that get bumped off rather than one or two. In other words, "The Hollow Man" is more fitting for this type of list than "The Invisible Man." Yet I cannot think of any recent horror film where I hated the antagonist so much. Other versions of this often-told tale revolve around a man who becomes an evil villain as a result of being invisible. This story instead is about a VERY evil man who learns to become invisible, and his maliciousness has NOTHING to do with him becoming invisible. You have to wait the entire movie to see the IM get his comeuppance, but when it happens it is much more satisfying than any of the deaths on this list.

[@JoyfulOrb]

YES

[@mercedesdrake9113]

"rolling around on the floor" franklin literally fell out of his wheelchair, wtf?

[@orchidrose1410]

The character of Mrs. Carmody is the reason why I could only watch that movie once. Marcia Gay Harden is an amazing actor and played the role incredibly, but the religious extremism of the character, aside from demanding human sacrifices, I have seen in real life and kinda triggered some deep seeded and unrealized PTSD, to the point where if the world truly did fall apart, the person in question, would most definitely be calling for the brutal murder of an innocent child or children if it meant they would survive while maintaining power/respect.

I dunno, making the disabled person a complete man child doesn't seem like it's a big deal. Just because he's disabled doesn't mean he's guaranteed to be a humbled and kind hearted soul. Anyone who gets angry at that is focusing way too much on how people are different. Just my two cents.

[@wheelie_1988]

I take it that you've never met or know someone with a disability?

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

I quite agree; just seems like part of the usual modern day prerogative of finding some social justice issue to whine about at all costs. If it was playing into an unhelpful stereotype then I'd get it, but people in wheelchairs being dicks is not "a thing"; personally if I was disabled I'd actually find it way more offensive that someone was calling this out, as though all disabled people had to be treated with kid gloves because they're so different to the rest of us.

I honestly didn't know that many people hated scream 4 . I loved it when it came out and still do now . If I could just get rid of the weird vaseline covered camera lenses it would be better . Jill's a great ghosteface because she actually has a decent motive u like the killers In 2 and 3 and she barely even got her hands dirty apart from hurting herself . Watching it back I don't think Jill actually kills anyone and has Charlie do all the heavy lifting . I might just be bias because I was 14 when it came out and managed to get in and watch my first scream in the cinema . Its really not a bad movie at all For me it goes SCREAM SCRE4M SCREAM 2 SCREAM 3

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

I also find Conrad’s death from the ABC series Revenge satisfying as well. What I don’t find satisfying is seeing the plot twist of the show mentioned in “Worst plot twists of TV shows” videos. I LOVE that plot twist and I think it made the show more interesting. BTW I’m bringing Revenge up because Henry Ceznry plays the patriarch of the Le Do Mos’ and he also starred in Revenge as Conrad Grayson. Love that show but absolutely despise his character. He’s an evil and manipulative bastard and he also does this stupid half-whisper when he tries to sound threatening. I watched that show with my mom from episode 1 until the finale, (we both got hooked on it after the Pilot), but we both despised this man.

You know it's the opening monologue that makes me wonder why I like horror. Because I'm not there for the violence, mayhem or whatever. I'm there for the tension good horror movies have. Which is probably why I hate gore porn films and most slasher flicks (outside of You're Next, Hush, and a select few others) while prefer my mounting dread. Alien, Annihilation, 28 Days Later, The Invisible Man; these are the best kind of horror for me.

Burke from Aliens. The lawyer from Jurassic Park.

[@ll7868]

Rhodes in Day of the Dead was an asshole, his death was perfectly brutal, shot multiple times by Bub the Zombie before being torn apart while telling the zombies to choke on him. Burke's death in Aliens was satisfactory but could have been better.

[@MrMordraine]

There's actually a really interesting deleted scene where Burke (very partially) redeems himself. Ripley finds him cocooned in the hive, and he asks for a grenade, then waits until the girls are a safe distance away and detonates it, killing himself and holding the Xenos off while Ripley and Newt escape.

[@ingleberthumpernick6748]

I didn't have a problem with Don in 28 weeks later. I even understand why he did what he did. That little boy was the reason for the "zombies" even found them in the first place, her refusal to leave without the kid put them in even more danger once the house was overrun. Fight or flight kicks in and had Don stayed to help his wife, he'd be dead and as we found out, she would have survived. He didn't really lie to his kids about him seeing her die, because it was the only logical thing to jump to after knowing she didn't make it out of the house. He knew he had two children out there still and him staying behind only to die, wouldn't have made much sense to him.

[@Growly.]

Yeah it'd only guarantee that if they had made it (which he didn't know at the time) then they would be all alone. Choosing faint hope over hopelessness isn't a bad!
