20 Video Game Villains That SHOULDN'T Have Died
1. The Didact - Halo 4
Halo 4 marked the beginning of the Reclaimer Saga and introduced players to the villain known as The Didact - an ancient Forerunner warrior who many fans assumed would be a mainstay recurring villain throughout this new trilogy.
But nope, that didn't happen at all - The Didact appears to perish at the end of the game when Master Chief straps a grenade to him that blows him off a light bridge into a slipspace portal.
Though subsequent Halo comics reveal that The Didact actually survived a little while longer before perishing, for all intents and purposes this wiped him out of the Halo games, much to fans' chagrin.
It truly seemed like he was set to be the wider-scope Big Bad for the entire Reclaimer Saga, so for him to be thrown away so casually struck a real bum note - especially as Halo 5 left us dealing with the absolutely woeful Warden Eternal alongside Evil Cortana.
