They Had It Coming - Revenge/Justice Fantasies

Sometimes, a movie lets the bad guy, woman, or organization off easy. Case in point, the reporter in Return to Paradise – responsible for the tragic death of Louis – played by Joaquin Phoenix. I wanted her to become fully aware of the pain she had caused, but…nothing. Maybe it was a deleted scene.

So this topic is about movie characters whose deeds deserved some justice, revenge…whatever, but it never came. You have the chance to name the character and what should have happened to grant their just desserts.

Mr. Hulot, always causing mischief… he played dumb, but he knew what he was doing… he caused so many people so much grief.

OK, but what should have happened to Hulot or Balthazar? For the reporter in Return to Paradise, I wanted her fired, grief stricken, and slapped silly by the sister who lost her brother due to the reporter’s ambition.

Seriously, Nurse Ratchet, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST. Would love to see a lobotomy scar on that bitch!

And Gig Young in THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY? Well…he deserved SOMETHING!

Well, I would love it if Deliverance happened to the duck hunters in Easy Rider.

Seriously…

Nice BRADY!!

Hannibal Lecter should have met Johnny Boy (from Mike Leigh’s Naked ): my feeling is that he wouldn’t seem quite so superior after that encounter.

The actor from The Boss of It All should have been imprisoned for fraud.

Ben Linus in Lost.

Michael wanders the island as a spirit forever for doing what he had to to help his son, and Ben goes to heaven for his last minute repentance?

Also, Mario. If you look closely, he intentionally lets the princess get kidnapped over and over just so he can come to her rescue and get more G-rated kisses. He’s had plenty of chances to deliver the coup de grace to Bowser, but instead he lets him off. In fact, have you ever noticed Bowser never does anything to her like eat her or anything? I think they’re in it together! Bowser kidnaps the princess, Mario rescues her, and they split the reward. In the final installment, King Mushroom should discover this scheme that’s constantly put his daughter in danger and have him beheaded.
