9 TV And Movie Characters Who Simply Deserved Better

Justice for the exploding bird from Shrek!

9. Helen — Speed

20th Century Studios

If you've never seen Speed then stop right now and go watch it. Our girl Helen is one of the characters from the movie and she just wanted to go home. I don't blame her, after being stuck on a bus with anxious passengers, a bomb, and a bleeding bus driver, I would want to get out of there, too. How does she get rewarded? She get's blown up and then run over by the bus. Justice for Helen.

8. The Exploding Bird — Shrek

DreamWorks

This bird!! This bird was just trying to live its life, have a few baby eggs, and probably watch the sunset. Who knew she was going to wake up one day and sing herself to death. Thanks Fiona... justice for the Exploding Bird!

7. Napoleon — Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Nelson Entertainment

When I hear Napoleon from Bill and Ted I instantly hear his little French voice yelling "Deacon!" First, he involuntarily traveled through time, then he gets abandoned at a bowling alley in a strange place in the future, AND THEN he literally gets thrown out of the bowling alley at night left to yell Deacon's name lost and alone, wandering in the dark. It's a miracle he found his way to Water Loo. Justice for Napoleon.

6. Baby Joe — You

Netflix

Young Joe from You deserved SO MUCH better. His mother was neglectful. I understand she was in an abusive relationship and trying to survive, but so was Joe. He was a child and needed to be protected. What did the mother do? Left him at a boys home, had a new kid so she could "start over", and basically swept Joe under a rug. Now look at him — he's a murderer with mommy issues. Justice for Baby Joe.

5. Sparky — WandaVision

Disney / Marvel

Sparky! No! All dogs deserve so much better. This dog was small, cute, and just wanted to be Billy and Tommy's best friend. Sure, he was a little unexpected in the beginning for Wanda, but he fit right in right away. Then Agnes a.k.a Agatha a.k.a. the Dog Murderer, killed Sparky. Why? For what reason? To make a point about death or to prove her powers to Wanda? Either way, Sparky shouldn't have died! Justice for Sparky!

4. Henry — You

Netflix

My goodness, where do I even begin with Baby Henry? First of all, I hate and love everyone in the show. The only one who wasn't problematic was freaking Henry. He was born into a murder household, toxic parents, a string of mental health problems, has been a witness to murder, and has a grandmother like Dottie. Do I need to say any more for this baby? Justice for Henry, please.

3. Sophie — Halloweentown

My girl Sophie! She was the most powerful witch in her family and also the youngest. Being the youngest automatically means you get ignored for some reason. Marnie and Dylan couldn't even do magic for awhile and Sophie over here is turning locks into frogs. Also who was the one to remember the most important spell in the movie? Not Marnie that's for sure. Sophie's powerful and deserved to be acknowledged more in the movie by her siblings! Justice for Sophie.

2. Manny — Ice Age

20th Century Studios

Manny is my father and he raised me. His family was killed right in front of him! For what? Fur? He was lost and scared and alone as a child and grew up not trusting anyone — especially humans. He was conflicted being in a herd because he didn't want his found family to die, conflicted with the child because he didn't want it to grow up and be a murderer, and Manny thought he deserved to die alone. My man Manny was going through it. Justice for Manny.

1. Marv — Home Alone

Hughes Entertainment

Marv!!! He got the MOST harm across both movies. He was loyal to Harry and Harry just yelled at him and pushed him around. Marv loved Harry so much and would have done anything for him. He was rewarded with bricks to the face and staples in his butt and jail time. If he wasn't around Harry all the time, I think Marv would have been a good person! Justice for my man Marv.
