How do you redeem a fascist/genocide happy villain?

Here be my answer:

And yes, that applies to Omni-Man himself.

If they survive, these type of villains should fade into obscurity in-universe instead of becoming public figures that are forgiven and even loved by many.

@CaptainXtra
I haven’t seen the later half of Invincible season 2 yet. Did that happen? I always thought at most Mark accepts him as a father and nothing else.

@CaptainXtra
I dunno. There are ways you can make it work.

I think it would help if there redemption is followed by a severe punishment. Like Pain sacrificing himself to resurrect the Leaf Village casualties.

Or Darth Vader dying.

If Darth Vader survived I would have problem with him being imprisoned or executed, after all his soul is already saved.

Whats important is you try to make sure you dont make yourself high and mighty because of your redemption.

Will be years after Legend of Korra, and will focus on twin Earthbenders, one of them the new Avatar, after the world and the 4 nations are struck by a catastrophic event

They’re running out of elements for the avatar to come from.

@Dustcan
Not really the cycle just repeats, so next one will be a fire bender then a new air bender,

@Icey1517
I’ve heard of that idea before. They’re actually gonna do it now?

@Dustcan
I don’t think the “7 Havens” refer to the Elements, more like actual locations.

Also reading more into the plot, it seems like the current Avatar is being mistakenly blamed for the “catastrophic event,” so it seems like all the Nations are gunning for the new Avatar

I want a spiritbender Avatar!

Boo on the cycle, Unavaatu did nothing wrong!

Honestly looking forward to this one. Finally some animated Avatar after all the live action stuff.

After seeing how Snyder fans can be This is great

@northern haste
They’re literally just coworkers. Them having beef is like when you decide to fight your accountant for some reason.

I find it interesting how Star Wars has Force Users only get stronger as they age into old farts.

They don’t have a traditional “Peak” that’s during their youth period as one could be a 100 years old and kick the max amount of ass despite being frail & having a foot already in the grave.

Lucas, you genius you.

Tenacious D died for this.

@Dustcan
is Tenacious D really dead or is this just terminally online ppl overreacting again

Officially it’s “on hiatus”.

Unofficially Jack Black straight up disowned his best friend right there on stage in front of everyone and Jesus all so he can scream “I’M STEVE!” in a movie. And then he kick him in the balls.

Trufax.

“Nosferatu (2024)” has ended its domestic run with a domestic box office gross of $95.6 million. Its worldwide gross is at $177.23 million. Against a budget of $50 million, that is an excellent box office performance for the film. Can’t wait to see what Robert Eggers will cook up with “Werwulf” and the “Labyrinth” sequel.

Also, “Dog Man” is now $1.1 million domestic away from passing “Captain Underpants”’s domestic total.

He did the thing!
Goku did the thing!!!

@Icey1517
In my mind I was like “oh, the 10ft tall blue cat people? they making a anime off of that?”

@CaptainXtra
Dang.

Looks like Piccolo, Itachi Uchiha, and freaking VEGETA should be obscure ppl in universe.

…

Which THEY ARE.

Itachi’s dead. Piccolo has been forgotten by the general masses and he also keeps to himself mostly, and Vegeta despite never hiding the fact that he’s the husband of the richest woman in the world, and said woman happens to be the founder and CEO and lead scientist of the most advanced tech corporation in the world…

everyone seems to not notice him.
