10 TV Revivals That Totally Ruined Awesome Characters
1. Logan Echolls - Veronica Mars
Despite scoring positive reviews from critics, Veronica Mars' fourth season endured a far shakier response from the famously passionate fanbase, who took particular umbrage with the events of the season finale.
The finale features the dramatic death of Veronica's (Kristen Bell) husband Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring), who is killed in an explosion set by the season's antagonist just as the two are planning to set off on their honeymoon.
To many fans, it felt like creator Rob Thomas sticking a middle finger up at the audience, to deny Veronica a happy ending by killing off her love interest since the very first season for sheer shock value.
Some even deemed it egregious enough to not only ruin Logan as a character, but the entire dramatic through-line of the show itself.
And given that the season only existed due to the success of the 2014 crowd-funded film, fan outrage was especially ferocious, as they felt exceptionally "entitled" to a more satisfying resolution.
It obviously remains to be seen how a potential fifth season may follow-up Logan's death, but for some, it was enough of a dramatic misstep to taint the whole series.
