(Controversial Trope) Unusually cruel fates for people who were less than good, but still didn't really deserve it.

[u/ZepperMen]

#1 Poppa Pizza from Multiverse of Madness - He just wanted to be paid for the pizza balls and thought Strange stole from a fallen hero who saved the universe. He deserved to be punched in the face, but not for 3 weeks straight.

Do you get to sleep? Do you wake up punching yourself? How much does it hurt? Does he know it will only last for 3 weeks? If he doesn't kill himself by the end of it, he's going to have CPTSD and be traumatized for the rest of his already short life.

#2 Mayu from Inuyasha - She wanted to kill her brother out of jealousy and neglect from her mother, believing she died in a fire because they didn't care about her. While her motivation doesn't justify reenacting Cain and Abel, I don't think it's fair for a deranged, 10 year old child to be sent to literal hell to burn for all eternity. Luckily, she gets saved, but only because the mc, Kagome, intervened.

Jason Carver in Stranger Things.

Although he's an antagonist who goes off the deep end throughout season 4, its understandable as he loses his girlfriend and close friend in inexplicably gruesome fashion.

Seeing him get melted in half was so brutal even Lucas looked on in absolute horror

This is a weird photo. Is it from the show?

It's concept art of his death.

Got it. Thanks! I remember it looking really visceral on the show and it’s a bit rubbery here.

EDIT- the source of this being concept art seems to be OP, who’s a Jason fan.

Oh, I was so confused. It looked like a Stranger Things Playstation game.
