Daenerys Targaryen will forever be my Queen. She deserved better than being driven to madness by Cersei and, more importantly, the writers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. | © HBO
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Gwen Stacy meets a violent end, leaving Peter Parker to grieve her for the rest of his life. As he should, because Gwen may be just his best love interest ever (and I will die on that hill. Come at me, MJ!). While there are plenty of parallel universes where she's just fine, the scene is still hard to stomach. She deserved a long and happy life. She's more than a lesson for Spider-Man, damn it! | © Columbia Pictures
Controversial pick, but hear me out: with the likes of Leia Organa and Ahsoka, we're sure Lucasfilm and Disney know how to write strong women as heroines. Sadly, they completely butchered Rey and made her the mother of all Mary Sues. She deserved better than that. | © Disney
Katniss makes it out of the Hunger Games not once, but twice (and even three times if we blur the lines a little bit), but after all is said and done, she's lost the one thing that made her push through the hardships in the first place: her sister. While she settles down with Peeta in a world where the Games are over, the nightmares don't stop for the girl on fire. | © Lionsgate
"It's a kids movie," they said. "It'll be fun," they said. Leslie from Bridge of Terabithia deserved so, so much better that all the entries should be her. Her untimely end packs quite the punch, though, making the whole movie one devastating, but beautiful rollercoaster of emotions. | © Summit Entertainment
There are plenty of amazing female characters out there, but not all of them get the treatment they deserve. While they should get a happy ending for everything they've been through, some of the heroines audiences rooted for either meet a tragic end or simply get butchered by writers.
Let's take a look at some heroines that deserved better, shall we? And, don't worry: our picks are not from the newest movies or shows out there. The chances for spoilers are slim, but never zero!
