10 Dumbest Ways Supposedly Badass TV Characters Died
6. Maddison Via Self-Immolation - <span Style="font-size: 15px;">Fear The Walking Dead</span>
Fear The Walking Dead took a very big risk in killing off one of its leading characters in the first half of its fourth season.
Whilst it was undoubtedly dramatic, many fans were not happy at all with either the decision to kill Madison off or the way the showrunners chose to do it.
Having survived just about everything the world could throw at her, and managing to safeguard both her children and the small group of survivors she led, Madison met her end trying to keep her loved ones safe.
Luring a horde of zombies away from the rest of the group further into their stadium home using a flare, Madison takes them all down with her by setting fire to the stadium's grassy field. But as heroic and tragic as her sacrifice is, fans were not happy with it.
Mainly because the fence that Madison stood by at the time of her death looked quite climbable. Surely any survival specialist on the same tier as Madison should have been able to make it over that before being caught? Fans pointed out that if Glenn could make it round a dumpster, then surely Madison could have climbed that fence.
Whilst there are some fans that argued Madison's death was quite befitting for her character's journey, it still feels like a dumb way to kill off one of the shows strongest characters for very little reward.
