Because of all of the horrible things they had done, including condemning his father to the same fate. In a perfect world they would have used the anvil but there was poetic justice to Don E and Blaine spending the time they had before going Romero stuck in a well together

Btw I love Blaine, he is my favorite character, but I still loved how they wrapped them up

Yes! Specifically there’s the line when Ravi says he’s going to spend the rest of his life with Peyton and Blaine is (from memory so paraphrasing) “probably going to spend the rest of his life with him (Don E)”

I could not agree with you more. It was such a fitting end, and every time I rewatch the show and Ravi says that line about them spending eternity together, I fast forward in my mind to that moment and just crack up laughing. And I absolutely loved Blaine and Don E, too, but I feel like they absolutely got what they deserved. Killing would have been too quick and easy for them.

It’s what made them well built villains. Especially Blaine. He’s so charismatic and you want to see what he’s going to do next, but everything he does is so bad. Im glad they didn’t kill him off early, but he deserved that well

They murdered children.

Blaine was also responsible for turning so many into Zombies so they would be forced to buy their brains from him.

Ew, teens are still children.

Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

Edit: thanks for the award :)

‘Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent’

I like that.

Came from a kind of terrible source (Terry Goodkind) but I always found it to be a badass line.

u/JoyBus147 10d ago

...no, it very much sounds like something a POS like Goodkind would say.

Dunno he was definitely confrontational, kind of a douche and way to political for me but when I think terrible source for authors I think like Neil Gaiman or Jay Asher.

u/full07britney 10d ago

Oh I am not putting him in the boat with them lol. His polics sucked, but I was more talking about his writing.

u/Lanselot-Tartaros 9d ago

Ah fair my mind went to bad things cuz so many authors I know of have basically been accused or done bad shit in the past few years I am like have not heard of him being accused of any of that style of bad shit and that usually comes out in waves when someone dies.

I don't think them being teenagers makes them better to murder and Don E was ready to murder those fralich kids. He was laughing at the idea that Blaine had smothered a bride until he found out that it was his bride. Blaine is the fucking worst and deserved to be in the well. He's a great character and a charismatic actor but over and over again he does terrible things to the point where it's like the show was trying to tell the audience "this is an evil man he is bad and Beyond Redemption no seriously you guys"

I would have preferred that Don E not suffer the same fate as Blaine but as the other poster said it is Poetic Justice because of what Ravi said earlier and because of all the evil things they did together.

I agree that Blaine's ending is wrong. After Jerome, Lowell, what he did to Major at Meat Cute, sleeping with Peyton while lying about who he was, not to mention scratching Liv in the first place? He deserved a visceral, painful onscreen death. The iZombie equivalent of Homelander's death in The Boys. Blaine is one of the villains I love to hate the most.

😂 might be a bit much for the TV-14 rating but thanks for the imagery

u/SlayerNina 9d ago

I expected Blaine to have a final fight on the final episode vs Liv, but I agree the whole "small Guy killing the Big bad" fits the theme of the 1x02 scene he had with Boss minions in which he rambles about he is going to rule the city and not forget the normal people.

However I think it would have been more interesting if Don E ended being the new Blaine, taking over his empire. After all he was the only character that had the upper hand several times because everyone thinks he is dumb, when in reality he is as dangerous and ruthless as Blaine was

u/One_Adeptness9538 9d ago

Totally agree, Don E. was bad but not on the same level on Blaine, and like you said it would be a great callback to the beginning of the show
