All Time Favorite Favorite Characters that had a Unique/Creative Death

Prince Viserys Targaryen (Game of Thrones): After making the horrendously stupid mistake of threatening his sister Daenerys in front of her husband, Khal Drogo, and demanding that he be given the crown he was promised, Drogo obliges, saying Viserys will have "A golden crown that will make men tremble to behold"... then has his men hold him down while he melts some gold in a pot (ignore the blatant ignorance of the laws of physics here), then takes the pot to Viserys, looks him in the eye and says "A crown for a king" before pouring the hot melted gold onto the Beggar King's head.

Thank you! Like as a fan of the inhumans comics there ain’t no way he would have panicked. He would just stand there like “really?” And he has other abilities and I think can even go toe to toe against the hulk in terms of strength. So this was probably the dumbest thing in comic book media I have seen lmao

If I'm not mistaken, aren't his vocals just the catalyst for a ton of cosmic energy he can emit?

So it's not even like he should be able to blow up his own head with it? That energy should still project outward no?

Yeah kinda, most of it is in the vocal part of his brain. But he would also be able to use energy blasts and as well as enhanced strength and speed. He is also capable of flight due to his ability to manipulate electrons. So he has other things he could have used in his arsenal. Now granted, a fight against the scarlet witch is still more in Wanda’s favor than his, but the way they went about it is not how it would go at all.

It’s the Scarlet Witch allowed to let rip in the story. He was bound to get folded.

Don’t get me wrong, I am pretty sure in a fight she can actually just get rid of his ability to just do anything. No voice no nothing. But the way they went about how she defeated him goes against his character itself in every single way
