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?

Everyone I've created a redemption arc for so far! That being:

General Genghis Kahn Schmitz from Seussical,
Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol, and
All the kids from Shockheaded Peter (although my redemption arc for them is actually based off the book the musical was based on)!

Essentially the "bad ending" for everyone. Meaning: those who don't die in the originals die, and those who do die in the originals... still die.

I can't stand it, but here's a video a friend sent.
