In no particular order...

1. Steve Harrington from Stranger Things
"He was terrible in the first season, but his friendship with Dustin and the gang in the later seasons is so genuine; he's had a good redemption arc."

2. Negan

They gave him his redemption arc and flipped the switch so he has now replaced Glenn as a fan fave."

ew

[weighty_ghost]

only because all the fans who had common sense bailed on the show shortly thereafter

[senshi_forever]

After they killed Glenn I was out lol

[weighty_ghost]

I made it to Rick leaving but hated quite a lot to that point. It was like, 2 years of Negan running around and nearly being killed and then when RICK didnt even bother? Fuck that.

[missmagic12]

Benjamin Linus from “LOST”.

That’s all.

Oh and Jin too. His and Sun’s arc was so good and then WHAM! Devastation!

[janetdkd]

I'm not ready to talk about it

[missmagic12]

Which part?

[misscrystal25]

Sun and Jin's final scenes together still haunt me to this day. That was fucking beautiful television.

[wonheaux]

that's nice, but none of them will be as iconic or great as zuko's.

[miniglik]

The best.

[lydzi]

A legend.

[wiedemauchsei]

Best redemption arc in all media tbh

[screamingintune]

Cara Mason from Legend of the Seeker. Absolutely flawless. I miss that show ;__;

I stopped watching TWD because of Negan haha, I am way skeptical that he could possibly be redeemed

Edit: OKAY HAHAH I looked at the source and are they for serious? JAIME LANNISTER??? GTFO. Absolutely not. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I am still so angry at the fact that they literally had Brienne sleep with him after years of nasty negging, and then he literally ditches her almost immediately after screwing her to go back to his stupid incest twin sister. NO, D&D AND GRRM, NOT EVERY AMAZINGLY TALL WOMEN IS JUST WAITING FOR SOME ASSHOLE GUY TO GIVE US A PITY FUCK AFTER HE'S CALLED US HEINOUS BEAST AND WHATNOT FOR YEARS AND YEARS

Jaime/Brienne shippers go away

[mcdork]

Man, I loved Cara so much. And I miss that show too. My books are so well worn and dog-eared.

[buries]

I choose to remember season 3 of Game of Thrones and Jaime going back for Brienne in the bear pit and getting his hand cut off was the perfect start to his redemption arc. We don't talk about the rest.

[screamingintune]

I wish the bear had eaten him!!

really, though, I mean, great that he saved her, that's GREAT, but you know, I hate stories where a guy spends so long treating a woman like garbage, insulting her constantly, etc etc and then she ends up falling for him, it's just.. gag

[_scarlett_icons]

Holly J, Dallas, Bianca and Zoe from Degrassi.

[moirasrose]

Spinner though. I think his redemption is probably my favorite out of all Degrassi's characters.

[notoriousreign]

Yesss and Spinner too.

[saintlys]

Yes, Holly J!
