After a cliffhanger ending the previous year, Season 7’s opener left viewers stunned by having two popular and long standing characters meet a grisly demise at the business end of Negan’s baseball bat. Many swore never to watch again after seeing their faves bludgeoned to death.

In a similar vein, Supernatural pulled off its own version of “The Red Wedding” in this year’s closing episode, killing off a raft of recurring characters, including the Winchesters’ best frenemy, the demon Crowley, and fan favourite, Castiel. Although it seems the angel is returning next year, many fans have threatened to boycott over the shock deaths.
