User blog comment:LucidPigeons/Villains I Dislike That Everyone Else Loves/@comment-26884760-20151124213529

this isn't so much villains but a plot device I LOATHE.. when heroes "forgive" a villain whose done something horrible and said villain then becomes fully redeemed and nice, this plot is so overused in modern times it is sickening and seems like a forced and dangerous moral of "bad people are just misunderstood".. while it is true most people can redeem if given a chance there are some very real sociopaths / psychopaths that just want to hurt you and I really tire of the "forgive everything and let's be friends" mentality in so many shows and films these days..

granted this is for "children's media" on the whole but it has crept into some more mature works as well.
