The best character development is when the antagonist doesn’t even really change or redeem himself. Like no, he still sucks, he’s just on our side now.

fantastic post op. may i add when a previous antagonist has the same personality traits as before but framed as good things now that theyre on your side? “cold and calculating” becomes “unflichingly practical” when you need someone to push the big red button, “hair-trigger temper” is now “takes no shit”, and no one is more dependable for chasing the big bad to the ends of the earth than that spiteful, unforgiving bastard who was hunting you down last season
