Jesse kills Marie L'Angelle - preacher
Could you do a Top 20/30 Satisfying Deaths in The Walking Dead?
@_Cinenerd_ no you weren't
Just do a top 20 or top 30 Game Of Thrones Revenge Kills
They got the right series at one but the best revenge kill was four years on delay. Lady Olenya's line "I want her to know it was me" coupled with the gruesomeness of Joffrey's death with the combination of his life was PERFECT.
I've never watched the series, but I've read the books. Reading about Joffrey dying was fantastic. He was an utter psychopath. But what do you expect from having a brother and sister as mum and dad.
@@soupdragonuktommen and Marcella were sweet children.
Olenna Tyrell. Best death EVER.
Hotchner kills the Reaper from Criminal Minds is definitely satisfying.
yeah
Yes! I was so hoping it would at least be an honorable mention
@@elysecatmull3404 same
Oh yeaaah. 🎉
I preferred Opie killing Stahl to Jax killing Gemma.
Same. That was ridiculously fucking satisfying.
Even Jax killing Weston in season 2 over Gemma in season 7 was better in my opinion, and chibbs killing Jimmy O, and even TIG killing marks for killing his daughter honestly jax having to kill his own mother because she killed Tara who I couldnt really stand tbh were all More satisfying
Exactly. It was definitely one of the most satisfying deaths on the show. Jax killing Gemma was more sad than satisfying
Well it had some way complicated and mixed feelings.. @@dragonjames7911
@@dragonjames7911 I agree. Then again, I hated Tara from the start and saw her as the catalyst for so many bad things happening, especially the treatment of Gemma
How is Ramsey’s death not on here? I counted every blow Jon Snow sent his way and every scream those hounds caused.
It was mentioned
@@MrFreedomforyou it’s my number 1! Ugh! So good!
Jesse killing Todd in Breaking Bad was way more satisfying
That was El Camino and technically a movie, but I do agree.
@@bubbaspurlock3862 It happened in the series finale
@@bubbaspurlock3862 Nah it happens in the last episode of the series. Parts of El Camino take part before the last episode of Breaking Bad.
I was looking for someone to comment this and it was the first comment 😅
The movie theater near me in Seattle had free showings of the Episodes of Breaking Bad. When Jesse killed Todd, there was a loud roar of glee from 300+ people in the audience. One of the greatest TV moment experiences ever!
“Ivan, did you see the sunrise this morning?” From the original Magnum P.I. One of the greatest revenge scenes ever…Tom Sellers’s character was such a happy guy that this scene completely blows the mind.
That should have made the list. It was extremely satisfying! It was a bold move in the days before the cable takeover.
Patrick Jane killing Red John so intimately was amazing because it shows how deep their connection is
Killing Red John was definitely satisfying but the reveal of who Red John was is disappointing in my opinion.
@@mstrdonmyshrt4219 I'm not sure who a decent reveal would have been, maybe someone completely unsuspecting but when they spent the season narrowing things down it made it hard.
arya & cersei were so good at getting revenge 😂😭 shoutout to sansa for ramsay too
Should've added the death of Little Finger to this list.
@@dreamguardian8320 Deserved a mention as much as Ramsay being fed to his own dogs got one. Still, the demise of House Frey was a tour de force. Arya and Tyrion are my two favorite GoT characters.
Tell you what we all hated Cersei but when she took down the High Sparrow and that Nun we were ALL team Cersei.
My personal favorite death in GoT was Petyr Baelish. He was responsible for multiple terrible events, most notably Ned Stark being executed for a crime he didn’t commit. Him being sentenced to death by 3 children of the man he betrayed was so satisfying.
Oh, I was SO happy to watch him snuff it. He had it coming since season one.
I agree. Baelish's death was more personal. Plus the fact that the whole thing was a setup and executed in public.
baelish started the whole mess and ned fell right into it with his arogance. smh
Baelish was actually responsible for ALL of it, everything that goes wrong, including the Watch being underfunded and undermanned.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 Right!! He's the reason for the whole series being kicked off. Ned Starks death started it all.
The best thing about Patrick Jane killing Red John was that from the beginning he said what he was going to do, he never changed his mind and when he finally knew who Red John was he took revenge.
"Hey, Ivan..." "Yes, Thomas?" "Did you see the sunrise this morning?"
LOL, you're showing your age.
Tony S. killing Tony B. was not a revenge kill. It was more of a mercy kill.
Came to say the same thing!!
Yeah I really don't understand the thought process behind putting that on this list. Ralphie's death was an actual revenge kill and was very satisfying. Phil's too, in a sense.
I totally agree 👍🏾
Let's be honest..you could make 30 of Dexter kills alone.
Agreed
So, he is the bad guy.
Yup, it would be very easily to make the entire list Dexter kills
@@MrJuggalo909 - Nah...he's the good guy, with a few exceptions
I pretty strongly disagree. Very few of his kills are revenge kills. Sure, he mostly goes after other killers he doesn't do it as revenge.
Hey! You forgot my favorite TV revenge death! It was on the original Magnum P.I. TV show with Tom Sellick in the episode "Did you see the sunrise?" Magnum's Navy friend Mac friend gets murdered by a Russian spy code named 'Ivan'. Good guy Magnum, instead of turning Ivan over to Navel Intelligence, lures him into a trap and uncharacteristically blows Ivan away with his service .45. The final scene was a freeze frame of the .45's muzzle flash and Magnum's cold eyes. IT WAS AWESOME!
Not only did he kill mac he tortured magnum and tc and killed another guy they knew.
@@rony41165 True. The torture and murder of Cookie was years before in 'Nam, though. The recent evil was in Mac's murder (bomb meant for Magnum, I think, with Mac suggesting that they go watch the sunrise right before the bomb went off).
Hotch kills the reaper in criminal minds, after killing all of these people, his wife and trying to kill his son he knows that monster has crossed the line
Thomas Magnum killing Ivan, catch line, "Ivan, did you see the sunrise?" It is the most amazing moment in the series.
YEA! That should have made the list. It was extremely satisfying! It was a bold move in the days before the cable takeover.
Agreed...then the fade to black and a gun shot!
Where’s Hotch killing the reaper? That was a brutal revenge kill
exactly
Happy to see 24 on the list. Jack killing Nina was such a cold moment!
Jack killing Victor Drazen was also a good moment. Cheng losing his head after Audrey's death was also sweet.
Arya getting revenge for the red wedding was badass. Dexter killing Arthur Mitchell was delicious, followed by the saddest scene, Rita’s Death. Tony Soprano killed Tony Blundetto like that because he knew Phil, or his goons, would torture Blundetto before killing him
That animal Blundetto
am i the only one who loveeesss blundetto and mourned his death
@@alexdolan9373 Yes
I can’t tell you how awesome it was to see Stargate SG-1 on the list!!!
Indeed.
Echos Indeed!
Gus straightening his tie and turning to see half his face gone was a jaw on the floor moment for sure. -Breaking Bad. Also, yes Jesse killing Todd was just as satisfying.
Breaking Bad - Hector Salamanca blowing up Gus Fring with his Wheelchair bomb.
Big props for recognizing Spartacus Blood and Sand. RIP Andy Whitfield
Willow killing Warren was scary, dope, and hot ASF!😜
June & the other Handmaids taking down Fred was very satisfying also. As was Zoe's revenge on the main a-hole frat boy in AHS: Coven
Anthony Edward's character not using the defibrillator on the abusive father in the elevator on ER
RIP Andy Whitfield! You will always be our Spartacus
Glad you put Black Sails in this list. Underrated show.
The Vikings blood eagle was gruesome. The filmography and musical score did an amazing job if setting the tone
Arya avenging the red wedding was BADASS
🥈
FREAKING TOP TIER!
"Tell them the North remembers, tell them ........winter came for House Frey"
You could've had an honorable mention for Olivia Benson's revenge on serial rapist William Lewis on Law and Order: SVU. The emotion that Mariska Hargitay showed when she beat him to death was top notch acting. All of the fans wanted him to die like yesterday.
I have seen that part of Black Sails many times and to me it's a masterpiece. Of course Arya Stark's revenge as well.
19:16 #9 is amazing. Vikings is fantastic and Travis Fimmel is an immensely talented actor. His performance has Ragnar is unbelievably good. One of the best period pieces in a long time regardless of its historical inaccuracies as a historical drama it’s S Teir easily.
Damn no Alex Mahone, that's just disrespect to Prison Break...
prison break hoovers scrotum
First thing I thought of when I saw this video, that should be on here.
Dexter was amazing. A conceptually brilliant show. The story arc the Trinity and him Killing Dexs wife was so heavy. You grew to love that side of Dexter with Rita and the kids and her death Had so many repercussions. And changed everything. It was kind of the end of the show for me the direction they went after Rita’s death wasn’t my favorite I read the first three books, so the first several seasons will forever be some of the best television ever.
Ashur from Spartacus Underrated Revenge Kill
Tony killing Blundetto wasn’t even a revenge killing.
Wesley shooting Knox in the chest for killing Winifred and freeing Illyria in season 5 of Angel.
That was good.
Tony killing Ralphie was way more satisfying than his cousin. Just saying.
You seem to be very in love with "June kills Commander Winslow"... I still prefer - as a revenge kill - handmaids taking down Fred. THAT was a revenge kill.
Fantastic video Rebecca from watch mojo of the best revenge death in tv history ever,marvellous job.
"Bored now." One of the most rippingly good revenge kills ever.
Underrated moment in Legend of Vox Machina is when Percy killed Professor Anders for betraying them. It was also jawbreaking.
"we trusted you! we would have done anything you asked!" the whole briarwood arc was just fantastic
@@whitemoonwolf13 To think that was a DnD game is mind blowing because that was an EXCELLENT story arc.
@@picallo1 to think that was a story arc 3 YEARS in the making is even more mind blowing
Gibbs avenging his wife and daughter.
I'm surprised that Carol having Negan kill Alpha for her didnt make the list
or Daryl killing Dawn after she killed Beth
Hell yeah! Number one is Negan killing Alpha
Walking dead was garbage
People stopped watching by then
She clearly said at the beginning of this clip! One kill per series! Why aren’t you guys paying attention!
When Gus walks out of the room, and then turns to reveal half of his body was blown away...masterpiece!
Ozark deserved a few honorable mentions. At least the revenge for Wyatts demise.
Avenging Opie's death was greater than Gemma's in Sons, we knew for years Gemma would get hers one day, but no one expected Opie to go especially only bout half way through the show.
Winslows other mistake was mentioning his kids and she knew that those kids were either kidnapped or the results from the "ceremony" of countless handmaids just like her. That kill did prove a point the pen is mighter then the sword.
Happy that Supernatural made it on the list.
Joffrey should have been #1.
sevinos death on the wire wasnt satisfying. you guys just put together anything for a list. Sevinos death showed that omar didnt obide by his own code and was unraveling. Do better watch mojo
Instead of him they should’ve put stringer bell in that spot, because that was definitely a satisfying revenge kill
Omar's code, according to him, was that he never put his gun on any man not in the game. Savino was definitely in the game and gunning for him by proxy. The game is the game, fair play.
It's all in the game.
@@ekihaket eh not sevino. He had nothing to do with the death of butchie. Even when Omar would rob people, he didn’t hurt anyone if they weren’t attacking him or doing anything. Omar lost once he lost his resolve and went after sevino and showed that even he went against his own code, thus marking his end.
@@dragonjames7911 agree
My favorite from the list is when Jack takes out Nina. My best friend and I were watching the series when it happened and we both shouted and yelled in celebration.
I would’ve put when Kyle MacLachlan shot that little kid in SVU
I think Sansa killing Ramsay is way more satisfying Also Katherine killing her ex husband in Desperate Housewives should have made this list
The Punisher was insanely good. Not only is the best portrayal of the punisher, but is the only one anyone should care about now as far as canon goes this is the punisher it’s that good.
Jax killing Gemma made me cry
Everyone also loved when Charlotte lost her powers in "H20: Just Add Water" the season 2 finale.
Soaps have had some revenge killings
They were killer and unique 👌
I enjoyed Mentalist enough to have RedJohn's death way higher on this list... have to say I enjoyed the death of LittleFinger in GoT, too, but it didn't have the same sneaky revenge feel...
I think Jesse killing Todd in BB was a lot more satisfying after everything Todd had put poor Jesse through. And for me, Ramsay had the most satisfying death in GoT. He should have had it a lot worse, though.
Phil kills Grant Ward was the revenge kill every marvel fans want to see
Tyrion Lan>ster getting his revenge.
The fact that one of the kills from The Walking Dead made this list is almost not surprising.
Noooooo! She clearly said one kill per series at the start of this clip! You should rewatch! I can’t believe people are liking your comment! What’s up with people attention span these days! Wake up!
@@_DMW Um did you not read his comment carefully? He said "ONE" of the kills from TWD. You jackass.
@@_DMW Did you not read their comment carefully? He literally said *"one"* of the kills from TWD. Jackass.
@@_DMW Excuse me, Did you not read their comment carefully? They literally said "one" of the kills from TWD.
How is Walt killing Jack or Jesse killing Todd not even listed? Much less, how are they not #1?
Charmed has a lot of deaths, like Pure and Piper killing the water demon that killed their mother, but I think Piper, Phoebe and Paige killing Shax for killing Prue (and almost killing Piper should win that one.
Winter came for House Frey, a house of murderers and cowards
If you had not included Jack Bauer and Nina or at least Jack and Dana Walsh....
One of the best Revenge Kills I've seen was on the Exosquad animated show when Lt. Nara Burns straight-up kills Phaeton after her whole family was slaughtered by Phaeton's Neo-Sapien troops. Lt. Nara Burns good friend a Neo-Sapien himself stood by her side.
Dude, where's Ramsey Bolton??? Omg. His was so satisfying
Jesse killing Todd
Honestly, the entire top 5 could have just been Game of Thrones. That show was just a slew of revenge killings. At least when it was good.
If you know what happens Dexter killing Arthur Mitchell didn't feel satisfying at all. Maybe in that moment but 5 minutes later it's all gone.
I disagree on that - for me, that is still one of my favourite kills from Dexter
Tony Blundetto being on this list feels weird as hell
Because it was not a revenge kill and it was not satisfying. Makes no sense on this list.
Tara’s death was so sad but Warrens death was so satisfying
During the Willow-warren scene, I was cheering for willow. than when she skinned that mofo I screamed out, "yes!!!"
Win! Lol
List is invalid without Londo Molari killing Mr. Morden from Babylon 5.
Yes!! Revenge was and is chef's kiss!! Adien`s Traks kill was perfect! For his sister and his friends girlfriend
Arya killing little finger was my most satisfying revenge kill.
arya chefs kiss
Wow. They totally left out Thomas Magnum shooting Ivan.
Jax killing pope jax killing Gemma jax killing tara stalker killing prison guard jax killing Pope's men killing clay killing uncer etc etc holy god he killed alot 😂😢😮😅😂😊
This video would be a lot better if we could actually see the characters deaths
I love how #30 isn't THE most satisfying revenge kill for this show. 😅
jamie Fraser kills black jack
I’ve watched Sons of Anarchy I don’t know how many times every single time I get to the episode where Jax kills Gemma I start over. I don’t want to see it. I don’t want it to be over and I don’t wanna see one of my favorite characters of all time kill his own mother. We all knew that that’s what it would come to after what she did. it also reminds me of the time of my life that I wish never ended, and the only thing that I have the hold onto from that time is sons of anarchy and symbolically If it never ends, then neither does what I feel for that phase of my life. Anyway. This is the best list that watch Mojo has done in ages.
There was a movie called Revenge starring Kevin Costner and Madeleine Stone. The last 30 minutes is true revenge.
Criminal Minds. Hotch Kills George Foyet, AKA The Reaper, with his bare hands, when Foyet murders murders his ex-wife wife Hayley, who was the love of his life, then threatens to kill his 4 year old son, Jack.
The Reaper killed Ponyboy for me.
Jax killing Gemma should at least be top 10.
Needs a Part 2!
Atleast Mentalist getting recognised
Why wasn't Magnum PI's(Tom Selleck) kill of Ivan(Bo Svenson) not on here?
"If he's innocent or not is beside the point" The 'murican justice system in a nutshell.
In Magnum pi a man who tortured magnum and tc and killed their friend during the war returns 13 years later to fulfill a plan in the end the plan was thwarted and Magnum sought justice by shooting him.
I wish you could’ve included Eleven killing Connie in Stranger Things. Benny was the first person to show El kindness since escaping the lab
After reading some of the comments! She clearly states at the beginning of this clip, one kill per series! Keep that in mind when you are watching this video!
How about Penguin's revenge against Tabitha Galavan in the TV show Gotham?
Spartacus killing batiatus was good but killing Glabber was better imo.
Sons of anarchy Jax kills corrections officers for killing Opie
