But weren’t serial killers!
I was just thinking about one of the student characters from that long forgotten show Boston Public. He was struggling and one of the teachers had a heart to heart talk with him. He asked him what he thought about and the student said, “Mostly being dead. Like I don’t want to kill myself, but I just think about dead people and bodies lying around.” So the teacher got him a job at a morgue. He didn’t turn into a serial killer but a later episode had police find a foot in his locker. It turned out he was taking body parts to schools and charging other students to look at them and touch them.
Also Low-Light from GI Joe. Here is a post I made elsewhere about it:
I always got a bad vibe from Low-Light and then I just watched an episode of the Sunbow series I completely forgot about, “Nightmare Assault”
It opens with Lifeline having a nightmare. He wakes up and talks through it with Low-Light and says something like, “I’ve read your medical file. How can you sleep when you have nightmares every night?” Low-Light replies that he tries not to.
The plot of the episode is about Cobra controlling the Joe’s nightmares, but the thing is it doesn’t affect Low-Light because his nightmares are always worse anyway. We even get to see Low-Light’s nightmare in a rare instance where the episode references abusive parents and child abuse. In Low-Light’s first nightmare he wakes up in a junkyard. He then hears his father’s voice say something like, “You’re such a wimp! KILL ME 20 RATS IF YOU THINK YOU’RE A MAN!”
This is some serial killer stuff! Actually I’m very interested in true crime so I identified something else. Cruelty to animals is actually part of what’s known as the MacDonald Triad. This trait along with starting fires and bed wetting are present in a lot of serial killers at an early age.
Also, in the same episode something that sticks out is Low-Light’s high pitched screaming voice in his nightmares. Of course usually his voice was quite low which is what makes it stand out and makes it all the more creepy.
I’m just glad Low-Light found GI Joe as an outlet for his energy. Otherwise I’d imagine he’d use it jamming up his garbage disposal with body parts.

And then Low-Light later became a dinosaur hunter.

Roy Cropper from the British soap Coronation Street was originally intended to be a Norman Bates-esque villain, but producers loved David Neilson's portrayal of the character so much they extended his intended six episode run and downplayed the villainous elements of the character; making him more of a lovable eccentric.

Conan the Barbarian should have grown up to be a serial killer.
*remembers that Conan kills thousands of people*
Eh, they had it coming.

Harry Potter. His parents were murdered at age 1, and he spent the next 10 years living with an abusive aunt and uncle who made him live in a cupboard.

I am morbidly curious about what a hard R take on the Potter franchise would look like. Slytherin growing magical weed in their house and selling it to the Chavs in London. Students hooking up underneath invisibility cloaks, or possibly in the room of requirement. The picked on kid learns the "avada kedarva" spell and decides to try and use his wand to go on a rampage at Hogwarts.

Considering how incredibly horrific a town like Moralton actually is and being raised by the likes of Clay and Bloberta, one of the greatest triumphs of the title character on Moral Orel is that he not only avoid becoming a disturbed person, but in fact a healthy and happy one; a parent far better than his father and mother were.

Hmmm, this means that Ambush also has serial killer origins. And Ambush is a MCMAHON! And Vince has a T-Rex skull in his office!!! Vince McMahon is the serial killing cousin of a GI Joe and was originally Ray Finkle!!!

I've never heard that but it makes so much sense, always got that vibe from him.

Harry finds a spell incantation in his potions textbook titled "Sectumsempra- for your enemies". He gets into a fight with Malfoy and uses it. Turns out, the spell cuts the target the f*** up. Later, Harry finds out Professor Snape was the previous owner of the textbook, and the one who created the spell. Snape created his own spell to go full Columbine on his enemies. Which means the spell was likely intended for Harry's dad.

This is one of the things I can't stand about the Harry Potter books, Snape is genuinely an incel creep and his is the only perspective we get on the school years of Severus & James Potter

This is one of the things I can't stand about the Harry Potter books, Snape is genuinely an incel creep and his is the only perspective we get on the school years of Severus & James Potter Yeah, that always bothered me. Though, there is supplementary material on places like Pottermore now. Apparently, James was the only child of rich, elderly parents who didn't think they'd ever have children. So he got spoiled rotten. By the time he got to Hogwarts, he WAS the arrogant dick from Snape's flashbacks. Combine that with his Quidditch prowess, he was basically the jock bully from every 80's high school movie. Except, instead of the quiet kid beating the jock and getting the girl, the quiet kid becomes a neo-Nazi, calls the childhood best friend love interest a racial slur, and loses her to the jock bully, who actually matures into a better person. And then the neo-Nazi quiet kid becomes a teacher at the school and takes all his past trauma out on students who had nothing to do with his crappy upbringing and crappier life choices.
