    For me, it was Conrad from the Aussie crime drama series Stingers.
    He killed Oscar Stone, punched and knocked out my favourite character Christina Dichiera, shot the male protagonist Peter Church (who was lucky to wear a bulletproof vest), briefly took the female protagonist Angie Piper hostage, and kidnapped his own lawyer (and Pete's now-ex) Ingrid Burton.
    And in the end, it wasn't Pete, Angie or Chris who took Conrad down, but it was his own former employer/bigger bad Stig Enquist who shot him. Not only that, what made Conrad's death somewhat unsatisfying is that Pete still lost against him, as Conrad got one over Pete by refusing to tell him where Ingrid was before dying moments later.
    Although thankfully, Pete and Angie did find and rescue Ingrid in the following season, so Conrad's final plan was foiled after his death.

    Season 5 as a whole aside, that is exactly how i wanted Homelander to go out since season 1 and i was super happy with it. Losing his powers, being a human and begging for his life before being brutally killed. That was truly diabolical.

    I loved Homelander begging and Cersei too. The problem for Homelander is how the final battle was so quick and underwhelming. Him crying and begging like a baby is perfect, especially because he was doing that to Butcher. Who hated him with an obsession level due to what he did to his wife and how narcissistic and entitled, pathetic behavior that Homelander is.

    Cersei just died in the worst season in GOT. The whole last season of GOT was awful. Her crying and being scared of death due to her actions and arrogance and lack of accountability was perfect. I hated Jaime dying with her, but yeah.

    I felt pretty satisfied with Vecna's death. It just makes sense for Joyce to be the one to finish him off, because this whole thing really began when Will was taken, and the amount of other heartbreak she's gone through. Losing Bob, nearly losing Hopper, having a bunch of kids carry years of trauma. The moment also proved why Joyce is the best mom in the series.

    Everyone knew that without the powers, Homelander is literally nothing more than a psychopathic manchild. His death was very satisfying and fitting for his character, they even built it up throughout the series how without the powers, he is nothing.

    Homelander doesn’t deserve to be on this list. Fans have had to endure 5 painfully long seasons to watch him evade accountability for his horrible crimes. Watching him whine like a baby when his powers were stripped from him before being bashed in the brain was like a juicy steak that was well worth the overly long wait.

    Homelander didn’t suffer enough. Like, all he got was a few punches, humiliated, and dies.

    He deserves to see the masses turn on him in real time. They should have forced him to confess what he did to Rebecca. Butcher was too merciful given how sadistic he was these past two seasons.

    I liked homelanders death, because once he was stripped of his powers he was just an absolute bitch. It showed that he was a coward who had had unlimited power, so pretended to be brave, but once he actually faced fear, had no bravery at all

    I think WatchMojo is genuinely stupid. Homelander has always been a pathetic loser with too much power. Once you take that away from him, he's gonna cry and beg for mercy, like in that scene. A-Train literally said it himself.

    On the Boys, after beating the crap out of Homelander, Homelander should have been stripped, hands tied behind his back, mouth gagged, locked in a dog cage, and paraded all over town for people to spit, pea, and crap all over. Giving the people their retribution against Homelander. On the Game of Thrones, Jon Snow should've killed the Night King.

    Seriously? Watchmojo how could you say that Homelander’s death was unsatisfying? Did you want Homelander to survive the finale and just have his powers taken away? Homelander deserves to die after all of the atrocities he committed. It was satisfying to have him exposed in public as just a tantrum throwing imbecile instead of a god.

    An unsatisfying death for me was Beta from TWD. I wanted a full on melee fight between him and Daryl as a rematch for their last fight in the previous season. I suppose Beta’s death was acceptable the way he accepted his fate but killing him off quickly and easily was lazy writing and a missed opportunity for a better ending. Alpha’s death was unsatisfying for me as well. She and Carol should’ve had a showdown especially since their animosity towards each other was building all season long. If it was up to me Negan wouldn’t even exist at this point in the show because I would’ve had Rick kill him in Season 8 like how he falsely promised!!!

    The Game of Thrones showrunners had a weird soft spot and preference for Cersei and her gross inc est, romanticizing that horrible relationship. If the books ever get released I guarantee Cersei won't have such a soft ending. GRRM already said his ending is different than whatever the show did.

    11:36 Vecna’s death reminded me of the scene in Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie where Paul Reuben’s character gets stabbed and he has a long over the top death just hamming it up, just to be seen later on in the credits still dying.😂
