As it turns out, people are complex. Fictional characters who act villainously in some contexts can act heroically in others. The change may be explained in a shift of priorities or an application of higher priorities, or perhaps even a change of heart, but I'm not really sure that that's necessary. No one is all good or all bad. People who do bad things may yet be persuaded to do good instead. That's part of why I believe in forgiveness and second chances. We're all human. We all have both good and bad inside of us. We all have the capacity for good and evil. So, while we should always fight evil, I hope that doesn't mean destroying those who do evil, not while there's still a chance that we can draw out the good in them.
