Inspired by another ONTD post about character protagonists who should have died in the movie
Cloverfield-Rob and his dumbass GF Beth. Rob should have died EARLIER in the movie, since he was the one willing to risk his life and dragged along with his sympathetic friends to go rescue Beth. And Beth manage to stay conscious after getting a rebar yanked out from her leg, limp out her destroyed building and with everyone else.
28 Weeks Later: Those.Fucking.Kids. They did not deserve to be saved! They were the ones that were responsible for the new rage infection to start up in the safe zones in the first place.
Cujo: Tad. He died in the book, but by Hollywood miracle(AKA the script said so) got to live instead.
Jurassic Park 3: The most annoying, bickering divorced couple, The Kirbys. The Spinosaurus or T-Rex should have made a meal out of both of them.
LOTR: The Return of The King: Arwen. 'Cause fucking why not, since she was evidently tied to the One Ring and it was killing her for some reason as a contrived plot device, and visions her in her Snow White-esque deathbed, with Aragorn boo-hooing a bit over her.
La Horde: In this French zombie-action horror film, the people you like the least, survive. In this case, the bitchy female cop. She gets to walk away in the end....or does she?
Bond Girls: Mary Goodnight in The Man With The Golden Gun,, Tiffany Case in Diamonds Are Forever, Christmas Jones in The World Is Not Enough. Because they are too dumb, vapid and useless to end up with Bond.
I'll try to think of more movies where the protagonist should have died.
UPDATE:
Titanic: Rose. Since this movie was basically Romeo and Juliet on a doomed ship, Rose should have died with Jack, in the freezing water or from hypothermia.
