i hate when a villainous character gets popular enough to become a hero and writers try and retcon their histories so they never fucked up in the first place. “harley quinn was actually a good psychiatrist who cared about her patients!” “eddie brock was actually correct in his exposure of a serial killer and it wasn’t negligent journalism!” i think it’s way more compelling if they did in fact actively choose to do awful things and then actively chose to try and become better people afterwards.
