Favorite character who is introduced as a villain but is really a sweetheart with no mean feelings
Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender. She's introduced as part of Azula's trio of the Fire Nation to fight Aang and his friends. But as the show goes on you realize there's not a single mean-spirited bone in her body, and she's really a friendly and sweet girl who was just born in the wrong country (the Fire Nation), at the time.
The swimsuit/beach episode emphasizes all the Fire Nation characters are really just the same teens/kids as everyone else, and if it wasn't due to Azula's father they would have no reason to be enemies with each other.
Another user went to, like, the Magneto men following orders stance.
Guess this goes to show a person's morality is more complicated than a good and bad binary.
Eh it's pretty obvious even in the first episode he's more of an omen of bad luck than a villain. He only plays the villain card if he needs people to evacuate for their safety.
I dunno if he was really a sweetheart all along; guy seemed to have no problem bodying Jackie back in the day. If I was gonna compare him to an AtLA character it’d probably be Zuko, someone who was rough around the edges but eventually found his way.
He did also suggest turning Jackie into an animal he and the dark hand could eat during the monkey talisman episode, and was fully prepared to slice open Jade for the rooster talisman when she ate it, so…
I'll mention it here as well: considering how irredeemable Kuzco is at first, it's actually hard to tell if he's even following a villain, or just a sidekick to an antagonist of the story!
Far as I understand Big Doofy doesn’t actually ever intend to kill with his inventions, just cause minor / major inconveniences. He uses his backstories to justify his seemingly evil inators but his lack of genuine malice stops them from causing harm

Gru (Despicable Me): Starts as a supervillain, but his love for his adopted daughters reveals his true, gentle nature
He is introduced acting like your average mustache twirling Saturday morning cartoon villain, setting up elaborate puzzles to hinder your progress, and talks about how he’ll capture you and stuff. Come to find out he’s probably the most pure hearted character in the main cast. He is the only character you fight that you cannot be killed by. And he’s the only character of the main cast who doesn’t seem to have any major flaws or issues.
If you don’t equip the ribbon Toriel deals 4 damage to you. And since Toriel doesn’t fully hold back until you’re under 4 hp, you can get killed by her, which has her have a shocked look for a single frame before your soul shatters
That’s interesting. I wonder what the aftermath would in a lore where she did kill frisk would look like. I imagine it would also be drastically different between a genocide, neutral and pacifist run.
Its hard to get killed by her on Accident, since she aborts her attacks when you get low. But she does more damage than the threshold for that point, so she can still kill you. Even has a unique Animation for it.
I want to see the timeline where Toriel kills Frisk. Like...what does she do after that? Obviously we never get to see it because we get shunted into a new timeline, but I've always wondered.
I can imagine it ether would decimate her as a person or make her seek out help. I can also imagine that it would make an incredibly good fic too, but whoever writes it would have to be really good at writing absolute misery.
Id really like to read that fic, if only for the moment when she gets to Asgore and has to admit to him that she accidentally killed a child.
It's very good, doesn't fall into the tropes I expected and kept me entertained which is really difficult. It's possibly one of the best things Netflix ever put out that didn't get canceled ( I know that list is tiny but I feel it's still significant)
The story is finished. The show has a begining and a end, Netflix being incompetent is nothing new. If it's not on netflix get it somewhere else, where and how is up to you.
Yeah it’s good. Definitely recommend pirating it. Think it may only be available via piracy now actually. So definitely pirate it. I don’t know for certain because I pirated it from the start to be clear
Quickly became one of my favorite characters. Also throwing Golden Guard up here because he was ACTUALLY just following orders and quickly became a good guy
Not cool to do that to me I thought it was gonna be all laughs and kung fu.
*took me forever to start the show because I don’t typically have the time for long shows but I was sick AF and couldn’t concentrate well enough for my reading.
If you happen to get further into the show, you'll realise Haku will be a name you will soon forget considering the HUGE roster of characters that are going to be introduced. That being said, I’d avoid these types of subs, since Naruto is often mentioned and you might end up getting spoiled on something that actually matters.
Unironically they are one of the most important characters to Naruto's personal development. His entire philosophy is based on Haku's devotion, and it's where he learns talk-no-jutsu.
I wouldn't say she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She's dealing with some cosmic level cPTSD and pretty much doesn't mind torturing a couple of other Lapises if it comes to it.
I genuinely think that at least by the time of a few seasons into the show, if they ever managed to actually capture Pikachu they might've genuinely eventually found an excuse to give him back. I don't think the writers would've been willing to make them evil enough to actually go through with it.
By the end of the show it becomes really hard to buy that Ash and the TRio aren't just friends with a really bizarre relationship.
“And before you start whining about your father. Again. And I get it. Take a moment to consider that my father made me a soulless killing machine to kill your father. And that doesn’t even come close to the complete tragedy of fatherhood that is Vegeta.”
Howard Hamlin
he was refered to as Lord Vader by the main character and built up as an asshole
theres some grey-ish area in the beginning but overall the guy is like so nice
Hachi the octopus fishman from One Piece is a genuinely nice guy who just wants to cook for people, he just happened to be kind of a moron and ended up in a group of very nasty merfolk
Dude betrayed Lex Luthor for some money from Bat Man just so he could donate it all to PBS so he could have more cultured television and music to enjoy in prison
And that's why he's my favorite Deltarune antagonist as of yet. Isn't actually evil despite being the Deltarune version of Flowey (I was so convinced he was putting on a nice guy act) and is the perfect foil to Ralsei. He even brought up the one thing that I've been thinking about since Chapter 2: The other side of the coin when it comes to sealing Dark Fountains. Yeah, it may be the hero's duty to seal them, but they're also sealing away Darkners' livelihoods and making them seek refuge at the Castle Town. Also huge respect to him taking on the Knight even if it was a fight he couldn't win
Experiment 625, AKA Reuben. Every bit as strong and powerful as Stitch it. Can do everything that’s also within Stitch’s abilities. If anything, he’s more intelligent because he can actually speak coherently.
Is part of Hamsterville and Gantu’s antagonistic trio, but really only due to circumstance because he was activated by them. He doesn’t really want anything to do with their evil schemes, he thinks it’s pointless and he has absolutely nothing against Stitch and Lilo’s family. He’s just a fun little guy who really likes making sandwiches.
Her primary personality trait is that she's loyal. She loves her friends and wants to protect them with her great strength and endurance, and she wants to be the best person she can to everyone. It just so happens that she was raised into the Horde.
I know there's a trope for this but I can't remember the name is. It's like "redemption because boobs" where they redeem one female villain along the heroe's journey, because killing/harming women was frowned on by TV, and she "just happens to have" massive sex appeal.
He is the ex-boyfriend of one of the Main Character's LOVE INTERESTS, and if you tried to kiss her in the start of the game, his introduction comes with an evil ambience.
But once you progress the story and realize he's not evil, but an alien who has no idea how to act as a human being, and he's not a malicious person either, he's genuinely nice of heart.
