10 Star Trek Villains With Lame Deaths

10. Shinzon

There is and has been plenty said about Star Trek: Nemesis on this channel. Tom Hardy's performance as Shinzon is generally one of the brighter spots in the film, with the visuals, and music also combining as the film's saving graces.

The entire project feels slightly tired though, with this feeling no more on display than in Shinzon's death. There are a few moments of tussle where he fights with Picard, before both men end up alongside the Theleron generator. Shinzon should be the infinitely better fighter, having been raised in the brutal conditions of the Reman dilithium mines.

Instead, he is skewered by a metal beam that Picard literally rips off the wall. This begs the questions - is Picard now so strong that metal means nothing to him? Or has the metal become so weakened on the Scimitar that it is easily breakable? If the latter, then why was it able to penetrate Shinzon's chest?

Honestly, at this point in the film, everyone feels like they're ready for things to just end, so you know what? Fair play Shinzon, head out on your own terms.
