I always feel like the worst kind of character redemptions (other than redemptions where a character immediately redeems themselves after one conversation) are ones where the villain is betrayed and so they switch sides, and it's treated like they've become a better person.

#txt #it was one of my biggest pet peeves with how catra's redemption was handled (As well as everyone being her bff lol) #kid cosmic did this too but chuck was funny so i was fine with it #i think rise of the tmnt handled this concept the best. draxum was betrayed but it didn't mean he's a good guy now #he was a wanted criminal who only accepted help from mikey because he needed a place to hide #and then they slowly bonded and he gradually reforms himself #i love shit like that
