10 Unlucky Movie Characters Who Didn't Deserve To Die

4. The Avengers - Eyeball Guy

By now you've started to see a pattern where most of the people in this list are either wrong-place-wrong-time, or victims of unfortunate circumstance.

Nothing compares more to the gruesome death of a museum curator in Germany who not only gets his eye gouged out, but had it happened a few minutes later he might have stood a chance at being saved by Captain America.

Yes folks, it’s the family-friendly The Avengers!

Before all the Avengers can assemble, Loki needs to get his hands on a rare mineral for his wormhole machine, and to do so he breaks into a vault using the retinal scan of the museum’s curator. Loki slams the old man onto a slab before a gasping audience and with an “Eye Scream Scoop” thingy he saws off the man’s eye and scans his retina for the lock.

While our main focus is on Loki stealing stuff and Capt. America swooping in, can we not spare a thought for the poor man who just wanted to sip some champagne and discuss art? Instead the last thing he sees is a guy in a fabulous scarf pinning him down and sticking a dentist's tool right into his cornea.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
