Fantasy Hitler

[narrator]
Fantasy Hitler!
The very evil leader of a super evil empire in the media you are watching

[hitler]
We do a little bit of genocide

[narrator]
Mass graveyard of innocent victims courtesy of Fantasy Hitler's empire

[hitler]
I've had a sudden change of heart:
I realize my ways were evil and I am very sorry and therefore I will turn on my own empire and help the hero destroy it

[character watching a TV, labeled as "You, the consumer of media"]
Wow Fantasy Hitler is such a morally interesting character!
What a great redemption arc!
I love him now!

[narrator]
Fantasy dogkicker!
Just a random bad guy
He's actually not that horrible but he kicked a dog that one time

[dogkicker]
My anger management issues are a bit out of control

[unhappy dog]
(has been kicked but is in good health don't worry)

[dogkicker]
I've had a sudden change of heart:
After the hero of the story has defeated me, I realize his ways were correct and I will join him in his quest

[character watching a TV, labeled as "You, the consumer of media"]
Fantasy dogkicker is a HORRIBLE person!
I will never forgive him for kicking a dog
Stop trying to make redemption arcs happen they never work
