    We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which movie characters were so bad, they kinda wish they were killed off by the end of the films. Here are the painfully true results.

    🚨 Spoilers ahead, people! 🚨

    1. All of Andy's friends from The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

    All of them (especially Nate) should have gotten hit by the car instead of Emily. They treated Andy so terribly, made fun of the way she looked, and even gave her crap for working long hours at a demanding job, simply because that meant they didn't see her as much. Also, Andy gave them super nice, expensive gifts, but they repaid her by stealing her phone and playing hot potato with it while Miranda called. Then they got upset with HER when she left the bar. They were terrible people.

    2. Peter Quill/Star-Lord, specifically from Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Marvel

    "I will never, ever forgive that selfish idiot for ruining everyone's chances of getting the Gauntlet from Thanos. It feels weird to be so invested, but the first time I saw this scene, I screamed. There's certainly a time to break down emotionally, but there's also a time to get the freaking job done. Saving half of the universe seems like a time to pause your grief for a few seconds."

    3. Lilly Moscovitz from The Princess Diaries (2001)

    Walt Disney Pictures

    "You have to admit that she was a terrible friend. She was so rude to almost everyone, especially Mia! Lilly was only nicer after she found out Mia was a princess and could help get people to watch her talk show."

    4. Rose's mom from Titanic (1997)

    "Let me preface this by saying that I fully understand that Rose's mom was a product of her time/society. However, let's be real: She was way too controlling of Rose and actively tried to make her life difficult (and even miserable), forcing her into a loveless and emotionally abusive relationship with Cal because of how it would look to the outside world. Then, when the ship was sinking, she was more concerned about being seated with other first-class passengers than worrying about the hundreds of people who were about to drown in freezing cold water. She can choke, tbh, and she should have gone down with the ship instead of Cora."

    5. Mark from Love Actually (2003)

    Universal Pictures

    "He was trusted with Peter and Julia's wedding photos/video, but he only photographed the bride (who was his best friend's new wife?!?!) in a really creepy way. So not only did he ruin their wedding pictures, but he also betrayed his friendship and trust with Peter. Maybe his feelings were supposed to seem a little more innocent, but the execution of everything made him look like a self-centered asshole who was hard to like."

    6. Murray Duvall from Clueless (1995)

    Paramount Pictures

    "He was the worst boyfriend to Dionne and was honestly kinda sexist. He treated her like garbage. He assumed she was on her period just because she was angry and upset, and he also kept calling her names that she hated being called."

    7. Percy Weasley from the Harry Potter series

    "Percy Weasley should have been the Weasley who died in Deathly Hallows, not Fred. He sold out and only came to reason when it was too late. He was a brat who should have been redeemed by sacrificing himself or something. I know the films brushed him aside, but fans of the book series know what I'm talking about."

    8. Franklin Hardesty from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

    Bryanston Distributing Company

    "Okay, so technically Franklin DID die in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but I wish he died sooner. He was so annoying. I've never wanted someone to get killed in a movie as much as that guy."

    9. Annie from Bridesmaids (2011)

    Apatow Productions

    "All she does the entire movie is whine and complain about her extremely fixable problems instead of, I don’t know, FIXING THEM. She just b*tches about them. Yeah, the movie has its funny parts and Melissa McCarthy’s character is incredible, but I cannot watch Bridesmaids because of how horrendous Kristen Wiig’s character is."

    10. Briony Tallis from Atonement (2007)

    Focus Features

    "She destroyed two lives because of her childhood jealousy. Then she tried to make you think she did the right thing at the end of the movie, but she didn't. That ending gutted me."

    11. Legolas from the Hobbit series

    "He’s a fantastic character in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but his character is just ruined in the Hobbit movies. He wasn’t in the book, so when he turned up it was a shock, and it felt like you were watching a brand-new character because of how different he was. He was so out of place and unnecessary, and I wish he never appeared in those prequels."

    12. Harry Potter from the Harry Potter series

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    "Harry was so dumb and wouldn’t have lasted 10 seconds without Hermione. He mostly learned from trial and error and made a bunch of deadly mistakes that cost people their lives, while Hermione spent the whole time methodically saving him and everyone else. The series should have been called Hermione Granger."

    13. Julianne Potter from My Best Friend's Wedding (1997)

    TriStar Pictures

    "She was so obnoxious and cruel. Like, she tried to destroy her so-called best friend's life just because she was jealous that he was getting married. I honestly struggled to watch the film because I hated her character so much."

    —ashleighb42

    14. Jake Sully from Avatar (2009)

    20th Century Fox

    "He spent all that time with Neytiri, and at ANY moment he could've told her that the humans were there to destroy her people and abuse her planet, but nope. Instead, he slept with her and stayed silent when her people welcomed him. By not warning them, there was a sh*t-ton of destruction and death, and then they forgave him for practically no reason. He should have been killed off in the final battle."

    15. Daniel Hillard/Mrs. Doubtfire from Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

    20th Century Fox

    "It's a great film and performance by Robin Williams, but let's be real...he disguises himself and lies to everyone in order to get his own way! There's no reason why he couldn't have been patient and taken the time to get his sh*t together. Honestly, his kids were more mature than he was when it came to the divorce."

    16. And Kevin's entire family in Home Alone (1990)

    20th Century Fox

    "Seriously, did no one recognize that Buzz was incredibly mean and at fault for every conflict? And Kevin's mom provided zero guidance on packing a suitcase before banishing him to a scary attic as punishment? Every single person in his family was terrible to him. I know it's supposed to be exaggerated so they can all come together and appreciate one another at the end of the movie, but geez — I didn't realize just how mean everyone was until I became a parent myself. Kevin was basically better off on his own."
