Which villains should never be redeemed?

Are there any villains in movies or books that should never be redeemed?

Absolutely! Characters like Voldemort from Harry Potter or the Joker from Batman are often seen as irredeemable due to their extreme actions.

What makes them irredeemable? Is it their actions or their motivations?

It's primarily their actions. They commit heinous acts without remorse, showing a complete lack of empathy, which makes redemption unlikely.

Can you give examples of villains who have been redeemed and why it worked for them?

Sure! Characters like Loki from the Marvel Universe or Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender have complex backstories that allow for redemption, unlike more straightforwardly evil characters.

So, is it possible for any villain to be redeemed if they have a tragic backstory?

Yes, a tragic backstory can provide context and depth, making redemption plausible. However, it depends on their choices and actions moving forward.
