Anyone else tired of people lauding Zuko's redemption arc as "the gold standard of redemption arcs"? While its popularity is far from unearned, I wouldn't call his arc the "be-all and end-all" of examples; doing so entails overlooking other redemption arcs for taking different approaches to redeeming characters than the Zuko arc.

His misdeeds were a bit more serious than that, bud. Yet at the same time, the retweeter is correct about one thing: Zuko's crimes are indeed easier to stomach — the other villains outdid him in the heinous department — making him palatable to people who don't want redemption arcs for characters that do really bad stuff.

So, without further ado, here are some redeemed characters with worse misdeeds under their belts than Zuko!

I beg you to watch District 9 by Neil Blomkamp (2009)

If you love anything Sci fi and aliens and human-alien interaction then this is something you should have watched or need to immediately!

This movie along with Avatar and INTERSTELLAR have been my favourite for years. ( Also realising The fact that this movie came out in the same year as Avatar 🤯)

In a way it reminds me of the Avatar franchise. The human-alien conflict, evil corporation, human military, xenophobia, physical changes, both movies deal with real world issues, villains on a redemption arc.

The main human character (Wikus van de Merwe).... isn't good. He isn't the big bad villain (no that's the MNU), but he's a person in the system, listens to authority. He definitely is xenophobic, ignorant, and just very irritating. An all round ahole.

The main alien character (called Christopher Johnson by the humans) is a dad and his boy is with him on earth. And Chris is on a mission to get his son and all the aliens out of this hellish situation.

I'm not gonna say more for obvious reasons.

But Listen as a girlie who likes terrible and dumb dudes who are going to get hurt and possibly question everything, you know this would be a favourite.

To this day I'm still waiting on a sequel. District 9 is one of those movies you think to watch for fun...but then it exceeds your expectations. You will go back to again and again.

Oh and if you dare, read the book 'Cotton Wood' by R Lee Smith. It's inspired by this movie and it's a..um a romance 👀
