10 Video Game Characters That Deserved To Die (But Didn't)
1. Viridi - Kid Icarus: Uprising
In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Viridi is the Goddess of Nature who, with her pathological hatred of humanity for destroying nature, actively relishes slaughtering armies with her immense abilities.
Though not always at odds with protagonist Pit throughout the game, and there's actually not even a direct confrontation with her, Viridi's single-minded, absolute hatred of humanity is never punished nor much addressed by game's end.
While Viridi's viewpoint is at least somewhat understandable, it's also a little too close to Thanos territory to be in any way comfortable, and if we're splitting hairs, he only wanted to kill half of humanity. That the game lets her off so lightly is really quite bizarre.
It's not so much that we wish she died, but that her flippant pleasure in causing human suffering made her absolutely deserving regardless.
