Some musicians surprise us by doing what they should not have done. For instance, Talk Talk shocked us this way – yes, you heard the story before in here, but I like that tale. They had an opportunity to do anything they wanted, which they transformed into both Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock. One continues to be baffled by how they changed their previous styles, even though one can notice the traces of that in the previous records. Sure, they were not as pronounced as they could've been, but they were there. Moreover, their post-rock continues to be stronger than that of a lot of players in this genre. The thing is I believe Talk Talk used the emotional palette the style provides more than many who followed them.

I think some musicians get burned out thanks to them being called those who surprise us. I mean, check Peter Gabriel for instance. While he might finally release his next album, the current state of his career found him in a strange stasis in a way. Up, for instance, still his latest LP of original material, feels like a struggle. However, we should notice Gabriel probably intended the album to be this way thanks to the themes he discusses, i.e. they deserve to be told with solemnity and a lack of easiness. Moreover, there's nothing wrong with Up per se, but Peter Gabriel used to be more unexpected – where did that go? Did his success send him on the path he continues to tread, the path of a well-respected elder everyone visits for his old songs?

If I had a nickel for every time there was a teen superhero show in which the mc had a secret identity and his school bully had a first name that ended in -ash, I would have 3 nickels.

Happy 30th anniversary to Junior! It’s one of my favorite mpreg themed movies! Here are some of my favorite scenes from the movie!

Am I the only one who doesn't hate bullies being redeemed? (or wouldn't hate them being redeemed in those shows/movies where they didn't change for the good?)

They were bad, I know. They did bad things to the hero. They treated the hero like trash and hated them (sometimes for unreasonable reasons). Some of them made the heroes' life impossible throughout a great part of the movie/show they appear (for example Johnny, Flash and Dash)— But I've always seen more than that.

I didn't watch their shows/movies and thought they were monsters, or thought that they were irredeemable, or thought "God, they are so evil". I thought about why they were like that, about why they felt the need to bully another person, about what could made them change.

Also, no. I won't justify them by saying "they were kids". Even when kids act bad, they need to take responsability for what they do wrong. "They are kids" is not a valid response when people criticize kids' actions. That's true. But it's also true that some people are immature when they are around the age of 14-16 (or even younger), and that they have the ability to change as they grow.

Most people act differently when they grow, when they become adults. And that's important, because that shows that people are capable of changing. And as well as many people in the real world have the ability to change, bullies can also change in fictional shows/movies.

Of course, I understand why some people hate bullies' redemption. But not all bullies are the same. Not all bullies did unforgivable things. And in the case of the bullies mentioned in the tags, some of their actions can be attributed to how they were raised. For example Johnny, Steve, Chloe and Bakugo.

Johnny was a good kid. It was the influence of Cobra Kai what made him worse. As well as Cobra Kai's influence also made Daniel a different person (but I don't see people hating Daniel for being part of Cobra Kai in 1985). Both Daniel and Johnny were manipulated by Kreese/Terry (Johnny didn't know who Kreese truly was, as well as Daniel didn't know who Terry was). Both became worse when they were trained by Kreese/Terry. Before that, they were good kids. Johnny was a good kid. A kid who wanted to be loved by his father, a kid who wanted to have friends, a kid who wanted to be more.

We don't know many things about Steve, but we do know that his father was a bad parent. "Jim also had a bad parent and didn't become a bully!". That's true, but it's also true that Jim had Toby, Barbara, Strickler, and later Blinky and Aaarrrgghh, who were good influences for him. But who was there for Steve? Who was there to make Steve a better person? No one. He had friends, yeah. But were they really his friends? Were they good persons like Toby? And his mother? She doesn't show up, so I don't know how she acted towards her son. Maybe she was a good mother who didn't have anything to do with his son's behavior, but maybe she had something to do with Steve's personality.

Chloe also had a bad mother, a mother who only cared about herself and didn't pay attention to her daughter. Hell, when she went back to Paris she didn't care about Chloe. She didn't care about her pain or desire to be loved. She only cared about Chloe being like a mini-version of her. And her father? He wasn't an idiot with his daughter like Audrey was, but he only seemed to care about "keeping Chloe satisfied". And yes, parents are there to make their children happy, but they also need to be there to tell them "you can do this" or "you can't do that". They need to show their love for their children, but they also need to make sure thay are good persons.

In the case of Bakugo, I don't know if his behavior can be attributed to his parents, but if her mother's violent behavior is a hint, his anger's problems could also be her fault. "It's not her fault he bullied Izuku!" No, it's not. That was Bakugo's decision. And I'm not saying Mizuki caused Bakugo to bully Deku. I'm saying she could have had a part in his personality. And if Bakugo had been raised by a person without anger-issues, maybe -just maybe- he could have been more emotionally stable. Instead of acting as if everything could be solved with anger. "He told Deku to kill himself!" Yeah, that was a mistake. But people always bring this argument as if other characters didn't do worse things. Heroes/villains in the show killed. Endeavor made Dabi turn into a villain and traumatized his wife and children. Please, don't demonize Bakugo's character when in the show there are literal killers.

What I wanted to show with this is that not bullies are monsters. Of course, there are bullies who are bad. Bullies who are cruel just for the sake of being cruel. But in the case of Johnny, Steve, Chloe and Bakugo, they weren't only bullies. They were also victims. Yeah, some characters also had bad parents and weren't bullies. But not being a bully not only depends of "being strong enough to follow another path", it also depends on the support you have, and it also depends on someone telling you bullying is bad.

And did someone tell Johnny, Steve, Chloe, Bakugo, Flash or Dash that bullying was bad? Was anyone really there for them? Did someone show them a better way of handling their emotions -instead of acting as if all the misfortunes were the heroes' fault-? No, they didn't have the support the heroes had. And that could have sailed their destiny.

I'm not justifying their actions. I'm not telling you to love these characters. I'm only asking for you to see them as more than the monsters you want them to be.

Besides, some of them showed they could change.

At first, Flash (from Ultimate Spider-Man) only bullied Peter without caring about him. But slowly, that started to change. He started to be more fond of him, and when he became Agent Venom and Spider-Man's ally, all the anger he felt for Peter dissapeared. His admiration for Spider-Man and Peter's goodness made him better, to the point that in a lot of scenes he was the first to defend Peter. In The Amazing Spider-Man, although Flash is not Agent Venom, when Peter loses his uncle he changes completely, and stops bullying Peter. It's sad that in that universe he only changed for that reason, but after that, he only showed care for Peter.

Bakugo was Izuku's friend until he became his bully, and his relationship became more complicated. Izuku kept trying to be Bakugo's friend, while he was tired of his attempts to recover their friendship. But one thing Bakugo has in common with Flash is how both redeem. Bakugo learned to be better, he learned to become a good hero. He slowly stopped hating Izuku. He stopped considering him "a bad hero". He apologized to Deku for hurting him and called him "Izuku" for the first time in years. And he even saved his life. He was a bully to Izuku, yeah, but he perfectly showed he was more than that.

Flash and Bakugo's redemption were the best bully's redemption I've seen (in Flash's case, especially in Ultimate Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man). Although I accept Johnny and Steve's redemption could have been better written. I love how they changed, but the writers should have adressed the harm they caused to the hero. They both should have apologized to Daniel and Jim, because both heroes needed an apology (even if Johnny's actions were worse). And I would have loved Chloe and Dash redeeming too— but to be honest I didn't expect that happening. Because Miraculous Ladybug and Danny Phantom's writers are bad.

But not liking how they handled their redemption is not the same as hating that they were redeemed. And my question is: why people hate their redemption? What's so bad about changing for the better? What's so bad about realizing that you did wrong and redeeming? What's so bad about apologizing for hurting someone else? I never understood it.

Of course, I know where people come from. Some of them might have been bullied and see Johnny, Steve, Chloe, Bakugo, Flash or Dash as their bulies. But let me tell you something (and this comes from a person who also was bullied in school): fictional bullies are not your bullies. They didn't hurt you. They aren't real.

I'm sorry that you were bullied. You shouldn't have go through that, but fictional bullies don't have anything to do with real bullies.

And that's why people need to differenciate between reality and fiction: because understanding a bully/villain in fiction doesn't mean you're sympathizing with real bullies/villains.
