10 More Insulting Ways Characters Were Killed Off Between Movies
9. Emma Frost & The Other Mutants Die During The Time Skip - X-Men: Days Of Future Past
Look, nobody is gonna give January Jones five stars for her performance as diamond-sharp telepath Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class, but the character was still intriguing enough that she deserved better than... this.
Frost ultimately didn't return for sequel Days of Future Past, where Magneto (Michael Fassbender) simply makes a passing mention that she and several other supporting mutants from First Class - including Azazel (Jason Flemyng), Angel (Zoë Kravitz), Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones), and Riptide (Álex González) - were tortured to death by villain Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) during the time jump between movies.
Though it's absolutely fair to say that Days of Future Past already had a colossal cast of characters to juggle given that it collided two X-Men timelines together, it's a damn shame that these mutants couldn't have at least been dispatched on-screen in a brief action sequence.
