I lost my save file for chrono trigger.

Not finishing it is biggest regret of my life.

So I'm gonna get it for my 3DS.

Also Mother 3 is still hard as shit.

In the past hour of Smash I've only managed to win a single fight against a bunch of computers. This isn't helping me calm down much.

I'm doing a blind run so fuck off trip.

Smash is not the game to play to calm down.

Hi.

I still want to complain about a bad maybe-redemption arc, if people want to talk Rebels.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I don't know what that is, but go nuts.

So there's this guy named Agent Kallus, and he's an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau and basically a cross between the FBI and Hitler's SS.

He's introduced as a competent bad guy able to adapt to the unexpected and anticipate the moves of the rebels because he's tackled countless rebels before. Except he's out of his depth because this particular band has Jedi in it which often gives them the edge they need not to have him steamroll them with the Empire's superior resources and reach.

All good so far.

Then it turns out on top of being a cool bad guy, he claims he was behind a massacre of one of the main character's species, the Lasat. He claims he ordered the use of disruptor rifles, basically highly illegal disintegration weapons banned in all civilised regions of space, against the population and wiped them out. Apparently it was almost a full genocide. He also appears to have stolen one of the civilisation's traditional weapons which he wields awesomely.

And then the show starts giving out hints that he's really not so bad. This isn't bad in of itself, and redemption arcs can be done well. Really well. Looking at you Steven Universe. Except the show then claims that Kallus actually "didn't'' order the genocide of that race and that he won the weapon by fair combat. Apparently he was just an underling the whole time, and lied about ordering the genocide because... well, he doesn't give a reason, but it was because the writers wanted to redeem him but wanted to ignore an inconvenient fact that was established in Episode 1, Season 1.

After Steven Universe handled a redemption whilst still keeping true to a character's roots, I feel like it's spoiled me a bit and now I can't handle it when writers redeem characters in a more clumsy, retconny way.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Yeah, no that's just lazy writing.

They literally did the whole "the hero and the bad guy get stuck on a planet and have to rely on each other and have a heart to heart" and he goes on about how he genuinely believes the Empire does good and how there's shades of grey even though he spent two and a half seasons being this smug, ruthlessly competent and merciless bad guy. They already have sympathetic Imperials on the show.

If you're going to make a bad guy good, do it the way Steven Universe did it. Make them redeem themselves on their terms whilst staying true to themselves.
