Do you think Zig-Zag (spoiler alert)


Deserved his death? I felt like his death was rather cold and uncalled for. Yeah, the guy was a douche but he was more of a silly and bumbling wizard trying way too hard to be evil.

To be mercilessly eaten alive by animals is pretty dark. The death scene in the final cut was pretty quick, but the one in the actual screenplay I found online is worse. They literally ate him til he was nothing but a talking head, but being typical Zig-Zag he kept making rhymes. "You took my left arm, and now my right - oh dear, I'll be a terrible sight!" I felt sorry for the guy. Especially when his pet vulture Phido joined in and ate the leftovers as promised.
