8 Devastating TV Character Deaths You Totally Weren’t Expecting
spoiler alert, obviously.
Movies and TV shows love a good makeover, but the difference between a movie and a TV show carrying out this overused trope is that the ones we see on TV are usually super temporary. They last a single episode before the character goes back to normal and often realizes that ~they never needed to change in the first place because they were great just the way they were~.

It’s so weird to me that TV shows have a tendency of making the token idiot even more of an idiot as the show progresses. It’s like, we get it! They say silly things! They have weird tendencies! They’re the kooky, ditzy oddball! We don’t need to be hit upside the head with those facts! Some of your favorite characters have definitely received this dumbing down treatment; in fact, I bet at least one is coming to mind right now. See if you can spot them below!
