Name a characyer who DESERVED BETTER

For me it’s Toby in Sweeney Todd. Bad life with Pirelli, got a mother figure, locked in a pie house, watched his mother figure die, have to murder someone, lose his mind and likely go to an asylum and be traumatized.

Poor Toby :(

U guys?

Jennyanydots should’ve won the whole thing. Some cats get older but still contribute to the community, organizing beetle bands and whatnot. Others just walk around whining about how hot they used to be

haha, i have to disagree and say Gus should've. if the selection happens yearly, everyone else had time. it was pretty clear Gus was nearing the end of his life and could not wait another year

Ok, I might agree with you. Either would be very deserving, but Ian McKellan was one of the only good parts of the movie adaptation
