He wanted to become the ultimate ruler and he even ready to challenge the tridevs. He sends Rahu with a marriage proposal to Mahadev for Parvati.
Later he comes in guise as Shiv to meet Parvati but Parvati recognizes him immediately.
He deserved to die. He was getting protection because of his wife Vrinda who was a Pativrata in the true sense. They distorted the whole storyline to make hero of Jalandhar. If u go by the storyline of DKDM there is no justification to kill Jalandhar
Thanks dear ,but even then somethings remain same like why dint mahadev accept jalandhar as his son,so this entire thing woudnt have become isnt it ?As a child jallandar needed love of father .Isnt it ?Regarding cleaning up jalandhar image,Cvs have also cleaned Vishnu s image,There was a story posted on jhalandar ,When jhalandar comes in front of parvati in disguise mahadev ,parvati recognises him and then tells to vishu to do same to vrinda,to teach him a lesson vishnu actually stays with vrinda forgetting lakmi for few days So all this would make them look more bad as god ,i think cvs make sure they present the story cleanly and at the end of day every writer always alterations in the storyline.
