No villain could've been worse than Darth Vader and even he turned good Edit: Now that it’s 6 years later I can say that Palpatine is definitely worse. Vader’s broken but Palpatine’s pure evil
Andrew Garfield he did get start out as a good guy then he turned bad but then he does get redeemed so but he only turned bad because he thought he killed his kids so really he never was truly evil
You readed the book ? He was villain in the wizard war , he telled about the prophecy to voldemort , If it were not for him, Voldemort would not want to kill Potter , but yes ,after Lily's death, he chose to be good
Hector Barbossa was the bad guy in the 1st "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, then he was a good guy after that. He was so cool as a bad guy & a good guy!
I love the Terminator, but it's a stretch to say he's a bad guy gone good. He doesn't make any sort of moral change, he's just reprogrammed to be good. Plus, even though it's the same model, it's not even technically the same exact android as the first movie.
gamelvr1 From Harry Potter book 1 he is in fact working for Dumbledore. He switched sides at the birth of H.P when voldemort did not spared Potter's mother.
+nagy zoli Actually, if you also were to read the books, you'd find that the side switching may have happened before Harry's parents were killed, but he was still a true death eater, until Voldemort decided to go after the one woman he loved more than his own life. His remorse and change of heart is more thoroughly fed by the notion that it was him that actually set Voldemort on her, when he told him about the prophecy. In order to save Lily, he turned spy for Voldemort and in her memory he has protected Harry to the best of his abilities, despite his personal distaste for the boy's father. From the one who killed muggle-borns for sport and would do anything to please Voldemort to the one that fought Voldemort from within his organization, that makes a change that supercedes any other in this list (and the number 1 is just wrong, no real change, because it's a different machine and it's merely a matter of programming, no choice).
morfanaion So I am right :D. I said that on the onset of book1 Snapes is already a double agent. Only late, in the last book Harry obtains the memory from the dying Snapes and what you said is revealed
+nagy zoli yeah but harry was a little bitch but for real, i dont believe he was a good guy, he only saved/"protected" harry because of his own self interest and guilt
Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker should have been #1 easily. The Terminator *android* was simply reprogrammed to be good. While Anakin had to sacrifice his own life to do so.
+Euroheat0022 Yes, his role was the bad guy, but everyone treated him like he truly was a bad guy, and at times he did things that was selfish, or things that a hero wouldn't normally do. In the end, he nearly sacrifices himself to take out the main villain, so he should have at least gotten an honorable mention.

Not being a rabid fan or anything, but: 1) Snape was never a villain within the Harry Potter books (he WAS a Deatheater in his back story), he was an undercover double agent protecting Harry, aiding Dumbledore, and an informant against Voldermort. 2) Terminator? That's like saying if I install a new OS and reboot my PC that it has been "redeemed". It is a machine, and it follows a new program.
i agree with you on snape, he was always a good guy playing bad and i don't think he should be here. i agree the terminator is not intelligent(no AI) and therefore he only does as he's told so he's more of a slave/executioner than a bad guy. The terminator from the second movie was a completely different bot to the one in the first movie also so you can't really say it's bad guy gone good.
gamelvr1 read carefully jackass, He was never evil in the movies, he may have been evil at some point but it wasn't shown in the movies so he doesn't belong on this list. I had a look through your page, quit thinking you're greater than everyone else because all you are is you are a worthless leach that appears to get a kick from putting others down, i don't consider snape a villain and there's a lot of others who would agree that while being in the grey between good and evil he was always good in the films.
T-800 doesn't really count it wasn't some sort of redemption where he saw the error of his ways and then tried to correct himself he was just a machine that was reprogrammed.
+patrick watkins don't be too specific... i guess the point is that seeing someone that started as a main enemy and later as an ally still counts though
Consider it a meta-example. It'd be a pity for the T-800 to miss out on a technicality. Consider how your feelings towards the T-800 would change between the end of the first film, and the end of the second, if you watched them back to back for the first time. You would cheer its destruction in the first film, but go to the complete opposite by the end of the second film in just over 2 hours.
Aggressive Pizza technically calling terminators robots is incorrect. The T-100s maybe, but with the T-800 series, they had living tissues and such over the metal endoskeleton, making them instead, cyborgs. I just wonder what we'd call the T-1000, since he fits none of those categories.
+Taryn McIntosh a toaster is not good nor evil, since he has no free will. Not too mention that arguable there might be no free will and no morally good or bad beeings...
+Paul C The T-1000 is something else.... It's not a robot, nor a cyborg, but it's definately an AI entity, perhaps made of nano-bots in some organic/bio-liquid. That would explain why it was able to use the time travel device without being a cyborg covered by living tissue. The nano-bots were binded together in organic liquid of some sort.
lord busness is hillarious they so should have put him but in my opinion ZUKO FROM ATLA IS THE BEST CHARACTER EVER AND THE BEST VILLAIN THAT TURNED GOOD...HOW COULD YOU NOT PUT ZUKO MOJO .COM HOW.?
I love villains that reform and turn good... BUT I HATE WHEN THEY DIE after doing so! I must rant now, because Doc Ock DIDN'T KILL HIS WIFE! She was a casualty of the accident! >:( Otto Octavius loved his wife very much and they were a sweet and adorable couple! I must admit the T-800 from Terminator 2 was one of my favorite bad guys turned good. :3 I really want a T-800 of my own now, so we can be buddies! :D The story of Severus Snape always makes me shed a tear... poor dude, I'm amazed at how much I hated him in the first six films and how much I came to like him in the eight film when his true intentions were revealed. In the end Severus was the true hero of the story. :(
אוהד רז Okay! :D This is a game called 10 questions! 1) Do you have any favorite reformed villains? 2) Do you know any urban legends or ghost stories? 3) If you could have one superpower, what would it be? 4) If you could talk to one animal, which animal would it be? 5) Red or blue? 6) Left or right? 7) What is your favorite cardinal point (North, South, East, West)? 8) If you could be another person, who would you want to be? 9) You're in a burning building, do you save the chicken or the cat? 10) Sweet or spicy flavor?
אוהד רז Your turn! 1) Yes, Magneto counts. Even though he has reformed and gone back to villainy several times. 4) I'm glad you acknowledged humans are animals too. People don't seem to like the idea, they feel above animals, being grouped with them makes them seem inferior... talk about an animal with an ego! 9) Chicken! (hugs chicken) What made you pick it over the cat?
Snape was technically a double agent and was good the whole time but acted like he hated Harry and worked for voldemort but was actually helping out dumbledore in secret
gamelvr1 im sure he joined him cuz he had no choice... ever heard of the anime kirby??? metaknight did it as well... he stood no chance versus evil so joined it as a doubleagent like snape
***** Snape was inherently good, “People are not born heroes or villains; they’re created by the people around them.”― Chris Colfer. In the childish terms, James started it. Everything Snape did was a response to loving Lilly.
Their number one pick is completely ridiculous. First the T-800 from the first movie was destroyed so the one in the second movie is a completely different one, which precludes the idea that it changed. Second the one in T2 was reprogrammed by future John Connor. So the change wasn't voluntary. And it not killing people was because it was programmed to obey John and the kid ordered it not to kill people. There was nothing remotely heroic about the terminator in T2, so it wasn't really a "good guy".
They should have brought an alternative timeline too the mix were the first T- 800 was successful in his assassination of Sarah conner and reprogramed by a future soldier when humanity was almost wiped out hacked the first T -800 to defend Sarah conner and john conner 1st and second movie take the weird horny female terminator Tx replace that bullshit and have the bad T-800 attack it kinda makes sense
Darth Vader no. 2!!!! I will not agree!!! My goodness, I always think that Darth Vader's redemption was the best one yet! oh my goodness, I am tearing up!
Actually, as explained in the final film, Snape was a bad guy at the start -- he was one of Voldemort's most loyal and trusted subordinates. It was the action of Voldemort planning to kill the Potters -- years before the film series takes place -- that turned him "good" and persuaded him to side with Dumbledore and from that point on he was a good character. While in the films themselves he was always a good guy, he was a bad guy in the beginning.
Jwk1706 That's true, but, in the universe J.K. Rowling created and the films were based on, he started as a bad guy. Thus, even though he was a good guy at the start of the first book, he was still a "bad guy gone good". Put yourself in the shoes of the people who watched Star Wars for the first time back in the 1970s and 80s. They knew that Vader had been a good guy, even though he started the films as a bad one -- his transformation wasn't shown until the prequels came out, but he was still a classic example of a "good guy gone bad" back in the 80s. It's just the same here.
The concept of villain-turned-hero could still apply to Snape if you consider the first Voldemort war. Snape WAS a loyal Death Eater and intercepted information that led to Voldemort's attack on infant Harry. It was the death of Lily that made him switch sides; how could he work for the man who killed his only love? But as they described the scenario with Snape in the video it's an incorrect bad-to-good transformation; his motive was always double-agent for the good guys.
+InkHeart17 severus snape only turned to dumbledore to try to save lily potter he hated harry because he hated james for marrying lily as lily was snapes best friend snape had an obsessive love with lily
+Katelynn Harp He was truly in love with Lily. The proof of that is the form that his Patronus took. In the book, one's Patronus charm takes on the form of either one's parents or the one that they love. Snape's Patronus was a doe, like Lily's.
It was his redeeming final words that made the difference. James Earl Jones was amazing, and no one aside from the directors knew he was Darth Vader until the last movie in the trilogy. It was a huge reveal for audiences in the early 80s
I always seen darth vader as a brute villain, until I seen episode 6. Where my opinions on him softened. And when I started finding out more about the lore in recent years, I don't see darth vader as a villain anymore.
Actually, I think the T-800s were a group mind controlled by SkyNet. If a T-800, namely, the one from T2, was able to break out of the group mind, he would be completely in control of their own actions and choices. So, yeah, if it was the same one from the original movie, than yes, its a perfect example of a bad guy becoming a good one.
Not exactly, the deleted scene from T2 goes over how John and Sarah had to open up his head, take out his chip, and change it's settings to where he could be independent and actually start learning things. But yeah, TOTALLY different Terminator from T1 (which was crushed in a press, damaging his chip but allowing it to be basis for Skynet [talk about self fulfilling prophecy]) and T2.
Cheshire Cat 5732 - Your theory is possible especially with the latest Terminator movie in which Skynet himself said the machines were merely "slaves." However, I don't think any of this is related to my original comment. Regardless of whether it was individual AI or group controlled AI (like the Borg), the terminator in Terminator 1 was a "different" terminator than the one in T2. So in sense, even base on your theory, the terminator in T2 broke free of Skynet's control, he wasn't the same terminator as the one in T1, which was crushed and destroyed.

The T-800 never turned from bad to good. There was a "bad" T-800 & a completely different "good" T-800. One sent back by Skynet & one sent back by John Conor.
Actually Snape was a death eater before Harry's parents died. If I remember correctly It was Voldemort killing Harry's mother (whom Snape loved) that turned him against Voldemort.
Was Snape ever really a bad guy? He was come across as an ass hole but we only find out in the end that he always wanted to protect harry so even though we can't see it in the beginning he really was always good.
He was originally a full-blown Death Eater until Voldemort threatened to kill Lily Potter, at which point he became disillusioned and became a spy for Dumbledore to try and protect her. So yes, he was originally a proper bad guy and didn't have any intention of protecting Harry at all until Lily's life was threatened.
Snape wasn't just bad... He was an evil, stalking, abusive sadist who ruined Harry's life and I will never understand why so many hype over him. He tortured his own studentds, particularly Harry, Hermione and Neville, for his own sick pleasure, making them feeling bad. NOTHING exuses that. He never loved Lily, he merely obsessed over her, like Edward over Bella. He also more or less sent Voldemort to Godric's Hollow and thereby causing the deaths of James and Lily and the murder appempt on Harry. In short: he could as well have killed Harry himself and I'm certain he would have, if he wasn't to busy making Dumbledore believe that he was their side. So Harry did right to hate and distrust him all along. By the way, don't bother answer this comment. If you write anyway, I'll block you. My expericence of you is that you are more irrational and hostile to anyone who does not agree with you than rabid Twilight-fans (you're no better than them either) and I don't have time for trolls like you.
MadamPluto Well.... you said not to respond... but I'm going to anyway. Not to hate, mind, but to... correct. Snape acted like a complete asshat, yes, but it was his actions in the end that makes him be on this list. He protected Harry, he sent him the sword of Gryffindor, he was spying for Dumbledore, and had to kill him because A. Dumbledore didn't want Malfoy to have blood on his hands, and B. He had to to earn Voldemort's trust. Not only that, he was attempting to protect everyone the first night Harry leaves. He was aiming at a Death Eater, but missed and hit George instead. So, to sum it up, without Snape, Harry would've been dead in his first year. If you recall Snape saved Harry his first year at Hogwarts.
During the books and the films Snape was never actually bad, he was following Dumbledore's orders the whole time. Dumbledore told Snape to kill him several months before Snape did so. He worked closely with Voldemort as a spy for Dumbledore. Everything he did was part of Dumbledores plan
Yes he was a death eater before Lily died but for the duration of the books, while Harry is around he may be a dick but he wasn't actually bad, although I can't argue that he wasn't evil before that. If watchmojo were only judging off the books and the films then they shouldn't really put him on the list.
Victoria McCoy Yeah, ok. I only wanted to correct your statement saying 'Snape was never actually bad', which he was before the events in the books. Hell, he didn't even care for Harry and James when Voldemort was going to kill them, as long as Lily would survive. When he discovered they were in danger he asked Dumbledore to protect Lily. He didn't care about James or Harry at all.
Yeah cause dumbledore wanted voldemort to think snake was bad and the only way he could make voldemort think he was evil was by killing dumbledore but really the whole time he was trying to protect Harry :-)
I have to [almost] disagree with the inclusion of Snape as a bad guy. He was a good guy the entire time Harry was alive and for all actions mentioned, he just had to act bad in the end in order to accomplish the goal of destroying Voldemort. He killed Dumbledore at Dumbledore's request in order to spare him from a horrible curse he received from one of Voldemort's horcruxes. Snape managed to limit the curse to his hand, but it wouldn't last forever. However, Snape was once a death eater, strictly on Voldemort's side. So he could still be considered a bad guy gone good - way way good, having put way more effort and heart into doing what had to be done than any other I've ever known to be written.
I agree. And another question is: Can robots actually be good or evil? They can be used for such by others, but they themselves just follow the way they're programmed...

Can we really say the T-800 was a bad guy gone good, though? In the first movie, it came in as the villain and stayed the villain until destroyed. The "good" T-800s in the second and third movie, while "the same make and model" as the first were different machines both times. It's not like the Vader/Anakin Skywalker situation where it was the same character and same person through all three movies.

Terminator didn't turn good. In the first movie he was a random cyborg sent for kill Sarah Connor, and in the second one he was another different cyborg sent for protect John
Terminator before Lord Vader ? Are you kidding me ? Terminator is a machine, he is nice because he was reprogramed, Vader is human and he is turning from the evil due to his son. I gave Anakin Skywalker first place.
+konjbgr13 Yeah, but Snape, the one that made it on the list was good when he was a child, then bad, then back to good. So she could of made that list.
Darth Vader should be #1. The T-800 in the 2nd movie is NOT the same Terminator as in the first movie, and Vader's redemption and return to the good side was the very heart or climax of the Star Wars trilogy. In The Terminator, it was a plot detail.
If u actually read the books u would know that Snape worked for voldemort until he thought lily was in danger so he went to dumbledore to protect her. And so he became a spy for dumbledore after she was killed by voldemort
xxJackWillxx hahahaha you clearly haven't read the books if you don't know that the series starts AFTER Lily and James have been killed and Snape became good before they got killed anyway he went to Dumbeldore when he suspected Voldemort was going to Lily and James

Funny enough that people on the Internet extremely hated the Ice Age Baby (Roshan) all because of Baby Yoda unintentionally revived the "existing characters turned into babies" trope that had been popular in the 90s until early 2000s. Plus, Baby Yoda isn't even the real Yoda, that's just the different character with the same species as him, which called him "The Child". It doesn't make sense since Roshan is already a baby in the movie, and yes he's annoying, but that doesn't mean that he has anything to do with that "trend".
Not only that, the T800 from the original was a different machine. That's like have two soda machines, one that eats your money and one that doesn't, and... ugh, I don't feel like explaining it further, you get where I'm going with this...

After he and Lily stopped being friends, he started frequenting the more dodgy slytherins, and became a death eater with them. Lily's death was what made him switch. That said, I don't think Snape ever agreed with Voldemort. Back then he was an awkward bullied teen who wanted to fit in a group.
+MuddaTrucka Yes, and can I add something on top of that. You know that big glassed teacher Sybill Trelawney? She was trying to be teacher for Hogwarts so Dumbledore met with her in Hog's Head (Aberforth's Inn) and there Dumbledore knew Sybill was wrong in the head and was going to leave then Sybill goes nervous and goes into that prophet mode like when she says to Harry in Prisoner of azkaban, and tells the famous prophecy but then funny thing is that Severus was death eater then who was mad after Lily was with James where he half-heard the prophecy before Aberforth catches him eavesdropping and kicking him out. So Severus goes to Voldemort and tells him the half-prophecy and he goes and kills James, Lily right after that Severus is very sad because he asked Voldemort to not hurt Lily but he still did that's when Severus met with Dumbledore and ever since became his spy to the dark lord. Although Snape seemed to despise Dumbledore he was happy for what he did to emotional wreck he was. Also Severus is my most favorite character in the series he's pure genius in dark arts and the potion, he invented some dark spells (Sectumsempra, Levicorpus, Muffliato spell which came really handy when they were hunting horcruxes) he's also the Half Blood Prince and above all he was bullied kid who was misunderstood his whole life who had undying love for Lily, who gave knowledge about the wizarding world to her and the person created by James's bullying and later who becomes good after Lily's death and sees his wrongdoings. Sorry I really love Snape, if he didn't hear that stuff Voldemort wouldn't have died for 14 years or so but on the other hand James and Lily wouldn't have died but for good or bad he saved the Wizarding World from evil Voldemort who was too blind to the power of love.
That's pretty much how I see it. It's not a bad terminator turned good. It's a bad terminator and then a different good one. Though you could still count the one from T2 as he was captured in the future (so bad terminator at the time) then reprogrammed to be good, but that happened off screen.
***** yes, reprogrammed, so he wasn't good by choice, every villain here made the choice to be good, a robot only ever follows it's programming, the T800 isn't sentient therefore can not make it's own mind up about things
Professor Severus Snape was never evil he may look scary and intimidating but he was actually protecting Harry Potter which is funny cuz before Harry was born Snape had a crush on Lily (Harry's mother) but apparently they weren't meant for each other so Lily went for James (Harry's father) instead and Snape became lonely and when Harry started attending Hogwarts Snape felt it was his duty to protect Harry and besides Snape (before his death) was one of the most loyal and dedicated teachers at Hogwarts he was just a man doing his job (despite his history with Voldemort)
Vader wasn't a villain. He is a representative of the legal legitimate government that prevented wars between minor factions keeping every one in line. Its Luke that's a villain, killing hundreds of thousands of people of the death star (including rebel prisoners) showing no regard for the law or safety of others.
so training children to fight a war and kill any one who wished to leave the republic with the separatists is fighting for good? your justifying child soldiers. how wrong is that. vader wanted that stopped, he fought for children to be freed of slavery while the jedi turned a blind eye to it. (actually read the books the Empire end up the good guys and winning)
+Michael Martin Yes he was. He was once a Death eater but then he turned spy for Dumbledore stated in Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire. BAM! Read the books. Scratch that they state it in the movie.
Spoiler: Doctor Oct gets another chance to redeem himself in Spiderman: No Way Home. As he was among the supervillians in the different Spiderman Universes that knew his universe's spiderman's identity as Peter Parker as backlash of MCU Peter Parker trying to reserve his close friends and family's memory of knowing his secret identity while having Dr. Strange erase the memory of his secret identity from everyone else (as of all the other super villians in the Spiderman trilogy/Amazing Spiderman universes that knew Peter Parker is Spiderman along with those universe's Spidermans).
It wasn't the same machine. It was just the same model. If it were the same machine, then the events of T1 could never have happened. Since at some point, prior to it's destruction, in fact prior to it being sent back in the first place, it would have had to be sent to protect John Connor. If the same machine sent to kill Sarah Connor was instead sent back to protect John, then the series of events, that lead Sarah to fall in love, and sleep with Kyle Reese would never have happened, as there is now no machine programmed to do this, no reason to send Kyle back, and most importantly, no John Connor, as his birth would never have happened either.
Well, the one in Film 2 is not the one in the first film, still he is the same model and so we can see in Film 1, how the Terminator of Film 2 was, since they were at least very simmiliar. Maybe even the same. So while we do not see the "redemption" (while i would not even say that even, since he just seems to be a slave who is not allowed to kill, without really noble motives), we can see, that it happened.
Kincaid Theodore Rabb he was never a villain. He was a bad guy, but not a villain. He never tried to actively hurt anyone. He was a fantastic character, but his issue was anger issues.
You readed the book ? He was villain in the wizard war , he telled about the prophecy to voldemort , If it were not for him, Voldemort would not want to kill Potter , but after Lily's death, he chose to be good

If you're talking about Angelina Joly she wasn't evil in live action reboot. It was King Stephen's fault because he chopped of her wings to become king and because of that she cursed Aurora but in the end she regretted it
He was originally good, but turned bad because Hydra wiped his memories, and became good again when he recovers them. The candidates have to start out bad then become good in order to make the list.
NO Snape was not good all along. people misinterpret this part of the story so much. He was a loyal Death Eater for many years and he was overall not a very good person (bullying students, belittling misfits...). His only good trait was his ability to love. He becomes more complex as the movies go on though.
According to the Terminator 2 book, the took the T-800 from a storage room after Skynet’s defeat, and the T-800 from the first movie was a completely different terminator. He wasn’t a bad guy before he was good. The first time he was activated was after he had been reprogrammed.
Yep Rexy and Blue (Jurrasic World) However Blue went Good Bad and then Good. Though it was probably imprinting on the raptor that made it good again. Roland Tembo was great call. F'n Pete Postlethwaite was awesomely good and of course did not get any credit for it. Then again action movies never get the credit they are do.
snape was never bad guy he was loyal from the beginning . JK Rowling said he never intended harm he never was loyal to death eaters even before lilly died
He loved Lily from the beginning but WAS a loyal death eater until he found out Lily's life was in danger. Then when she did die it was only out of his love for her that he served Dumbledore and helped protect Harry.
Yeah but J.K.Rowling wanted to make him seem evil. But he generally did kind of hate Harry because James bullied him in their teenage years and because Harry was then a teen Harry reminded Severus of James. THE CIRCLE OF HATE (sung in the circle of love tune please)
THEGAMEBEATER11 Yeah but he was ultimately not a bad guy, which is why I said "for those who are very specific". So to be precise, he was never a bad guy, he just seemed like one. Which is why I guess you *could* say he qualifies for the list, but at the same time he does not. See what I mean?
No villain could've been worse than Darth Vader and even he turned good
Edit: Now that it’s 6 years later I can say that Palpatine is definitely worse. Vader’s broken but Palpatine’s pure evil
That is 100% true. These villains killed a few people or tried to take something over. Vader destroyed PLANETS.
Andrew Garfield he did get start out as a good guy then he turned bad but then he does get redeemed so but he only turned bad because he thought he killed his kids so really he never was truly evil
I would say Palpatine was MUCH worse, seeing as he was the one who tempted Vader to darkness.
Brian Corvello Nah Palpatine's power mainly came from the order being completely stupid.
But it's too late cuz he change when he will die
Severus Snape was the best undercover agent. He was never a villain!
+gamelvr1 no you're wrong
gamelvr1 lol okay thanks for that
Tania Mejia yeah by that logic u could put Sirius black!
You readed the book ? He was villain in the wizard war , he telled about the prophecy to voldemort ,
If it were not for him, Voldemort would not want to kill Potter , but yes ,after Lily's death, he chose to be good
+Tania Mejia Then, why kill Dumbledore?
Hector Barbossa was the bad guy in the 1st "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, then he was a good guy after that. He was so cool as a bad guy & a good guy!
Technically Snape was good all along... And Terminator didn't change, it simply was a different robot. So yeah, Anakin ftw!

anakin is the best!!
Lord Vader/ Master Skywalker should be number 1 he been my favorite character since I was 4

Darth Vader is a sandwich.
Good guy (Anakin) - Bad Guy (Darth Vader) - Good guy (Kills Palpatine to save Luke)
It was the good within him, and his love for luke
I love the Terminator, but it's a stretch to say he's a bad guy gone good. He doesn't make any sort of moral change, he's just reprogrammed to be good. Plus, even though it's the same model, it's not even technically the same exact android as the first movie.
Only reprogrammed to protect and serve John Connor.
*Cyborg
Snapes was the undercover agent of Dumbledore, not a bad guy. In fact in the book Potter at the end calls him the bravest man he knew
gamelvr1 From Harry Potter book 1 he is in fact working for Dumbledore. He switched sides at the birth of H.P when voldemort did not spared Potter's mother.
gamelvr1 Yes, but the premise is that DURING the action of the movie/book. Snapes switching sides is his "background story"
+nagy zoli Actually, if you also were to read the books, you'd find that the side switching may have happened before Harry's parents were killed, but he was still a true death eater, until Voldemort decided to go after the one woman he loved more than his own life. His remorse and change of heart is more thoroughly fed by the notion that it was him that actually set Voldemort on her, when he told him about the prophecy. In order to save Lily, he turned spy for Voldemort and in her memory he has protected Harry to the best of his abilities, despite his personal distaste for the boy's father. From the one who killed muggle-borns for sport and would do anything to please Voldemort to the one that fought Voldemort from within his organization, that makes a change that supercedes any other in this list (and the number 1 is just wrong, no real change, because it's a different machine and it's merely a matter of programming, no choice).
morfanaion So I am right :D. I said that on the onset of book1 Snapes is already a double agent. Only late, in the last book Harry obtains the memory from the dying Snapes and what you said is revealed
+nagy zoli yeah but harry was a little bitch
but for real, i dont believe he was a good guy, he only saved/"protected" harry because of his own self interest and guilt
Darth Vader should be in first place
Wasn't Snape technically always a good guy, though? I'm no completely Harry Potter expert, but he was definitely misunderstood.
Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker should have been #1 easily. The Terminator *android* was simply reprogrammed to be good. While Anakin had to sacrifice his own life to do so.
***** Still. His purpose was protecting John Connor, the savior of humanity. Sounds pretty good to me already.
***** Vader had to learn and experience right and wrong through various trials in his life. The Terminator was simply told not to kill. So he didn't.
Dude, fucking Terminator! You can't not give him #1! Move over, Star Wars!
Wreck-It Ralph should totally get at lest a honorable mention.
+Euroheat0022 Yes, his role was the bad guy, but everyone treated him like he truly was a bad guy, and at times he did things that was selfish, or things that a hero wouldn't normally do. In the end, he nearly sacrifices himself to take out the main villain, so he should have at least gotten an honorable mention.

+Euroheat0022 Yes he's good inside but everyone treats him badly
I honestly think Ralph was good all the time. It's the reason he left his game. He wanted to become a hero
Ralph was both the hero and the main character. Being a "bad guy" was just his job in the game.
Not being a rabid fan or anything, but:
1) Snape was never a villain within the Harry Potter books (he WAS a Deatheater in his back story), he was an undercover double agent protecting Harry, aiding Dumbledore, and an informant against Voldermort.
2) Terminator? That's like saying if I install a new OS and reboot my PC that it has been "redeemed". It is a machine, and it follows a new program.
gamelvr1 This list is based on movies tho.
i agree with you on snape, he was always a good guy playing bad and i don't think he should be here.
i agree the terminator is not intelligent(no AI) and therefore he only does as he's told so he's more of a slave/executioner than a bad guy. The terminator from the second movie was a completely different bot to the one in the first movie also so you can't really say it's bad guy gone good.
gamelvr1
Really...Replying to all the Harry Potter comments that say Snape is good....You're a fucking idiot.
gamelvr1
Well ok whatever
gamelvr1 read carefully jackass, He was never evil in the movies, he may have been evil at some point but it wasn't shown in the movies so he doesn't belong on this list.
I had a look through your page, quit thinking you're greater than everyone else because all you are is you are a worthless leach that appears to get a kick from putting others down, i don't consider snape a villain and there's a lot of others who would agree that while being in the grey between good and evil he was always good in the films.
T-800 doesn't really count it wasn't some sort of redemption where he saw the error of his ways and then tried to correct himself he was just a machine that was reprogrammed.
+patrick watkins don't be too specific... i guess the point is that seeing someone that started as a main enemy and later as an ally still counts though
VixXstazosJOB it has to be a self-decision
In fact, wasn't the second one a different unit altogether? It was just modeled off of the first one. Wasn't he?
That what I always got ...
Where's Loki?
Consider it a meta-example. It'd be a pity for the T-800 to miss out on a technicality. Consider how your feelings towards the T-800 would change between the end of the first film, and the end of the second, if you watched them back to back for the first time. You would cheer its destruction in the first film, but go to the complete opposite by the end of the second film in just over 2 hours.
T-800 is cool, but does the really count? Technically it wasn't a change like everyone else on the list, he was just reprogrammed.
Adobi-Wan Kenobi And he isn't even the same robot from part 1, that's like saying two different humans are the same person turned bad to good.
That's a good point too.
Aggressive Pizza technically calling terminators robots is incorrect. The T-100s maybe, but with the T-800 series, they had living tissues and such over the metal endoskeleton, making them instead, cyborgs. I just wonder what we'd call the T-1000, since he fits none of those categories.
+Taryn McIntosh a toaster is not good nor evil, since he has no free will. Not too mention that arguable there might be no free will and no morally good or bad beeings...
+Paul C The T-1000 is something else.... It's not a robot, nor a cyborg, but it's definately an AI entity, perhaps made of nano-bots in some organic/bio-liquid. That would explain why it was able to use the time travel device without being a cyborg covered by living tissue. The nano-bots were binded together in organic liquid of some sort.
don't forget Lord Business from The Lego Movie
uh yeah....forgot about dat
What'da mean??
Yeah!,!!
lord busness is hillarious they so should have put him but in my opinion ZUKO FROM ATLA IS THE BEST CHARACTER EVER AND THE BEST VILLAIN THAT TURNED GOOD...HOW COULD YOU NOT PUT ZUKO MOJO .COM HOW.?
I agree
I love villains that reform and turn good... BUT I HATE WHEN THEY DIE after doing so!
I must rant now, because Doc Ock DIDN'T KILL HIS WIFE! She was a casualty of the accident! >:(
Otto Octavius loved his wife very much and they were a sweet and adorable couple!
I must admit the T-800 from Terminator 2 was one of my favorite bad guys turned good. :3 I really want a T-800 of my own now, so we can be buddies! :D
The story of Severus Snape always makes me shed a tear... poor dude, I'm amazed at how much I hated him in the first six films and how much I came to like him in the eight film when his true intentions were revealed. In the end Severus was the true hero of the story. :(
אוהד רז I called him both Otto and Doc Ock in the same paragraph. -_-
אוהד רז Oh, I thought you were confused by me calling Doc Ock by his real name.
אוהד רז Ah. Talk to you later then. Have fun at rehearsals! :D

4) If you could talk to one animal, which animal would it be?
5) Red or blue?
6) Left or right?
7) What is your favorite cardinal point (North, South, East, West)?
8) If you could be another person, who would you want to be?
9) You're in a burning building, do you save the chicken or the cat?
10) Sweet or spicy flavor?
אוהד רז Your turn!
1) Yes, Magneto counts. Even though he has reformed and gone back to villainy several times.
4) I'm glad you acknowledged humans are animals too. People don't seem to like the idea, they feel above animals, being grouped with them makes them seem inferior... talk about an animal with an ego!
9) Chicken! (hugs chicken) What made you pick it over the cat?
Jaws in "Moonraker" could have been an honourable mention
Snape was never a villain. He just did a favor from Dumbledore to save Harry.
Snape was technically a double agent and was good the whole time but acted like he hated Harry and worked for voldemort but was actually helping out dumbledore in secret
Opps my mistake lol I haven't read Harry Potter in 6 years lol
Took the words right out of my mouth, snaped was never a villain
gamelvr1 im sure he joined him cuz he had no choice... ever heard of the anime kirby??? metaknight did it as well... he stood no chance versus evil so joined it as a doubleagent like snape
***** Snape was inherently good, “People are not born heroes or villains; they’re created by the people around them.”― Chris Colfer. In the childish terms, James started it. Everything Snape did was a response to loving Lilly.
Dumble Dore told Snape he would have to kill him for Harry's safety
Yes but the audience believed that he was bad until the twist.
The Silent Narrator good point
Their number one pick is completely ridiculous. First the T-800 from the first movie was destroyed so the one in the second movie is a completely different one, which precludes the idea that it changed. Second the one in T2 was reprogrammed by future John Connor. So the change wasn't voluntary. And it not killing people was because it was programmed to obey John and the kid ordered it not to kill people. There was nothing remotely heroic about the terminator in T2, so it wasn't really a "good guy".
True that!
qqqqaa+ssq+q
Thank you!!!
They should have brought an alternative timeline too the mix were the first T- 800 was successful in his assassination of Sarah conner and reprogramed by a future soldier when humanity was almost wiped out hacked the first T -800 to defend Sarah conner and john conner 1st and second movie take the weird horny female terminator Tx replace that bullshit and have the bad T-800 attack it kinda makes sense
The T-800 did see why it was wrong to kill by the end of the movie tho so in some way it did change
Darth Vader no. 2!!!! I will not agree!!! My goodness, I always think that Darth Vader's redemption was the best one yet! oh my goodness, I am tearing up!
Ace Nebula and not to mention Darth Vader was mentioned in good guys gone bad in second place
To be fair Snape never was a bad guy because he was a spy for Dumbledore and killed him because he told him to.
Actually, as explained in the final film, Snape was a bad guy at the start -- he was one of Voldemort's most loyal and trusted subordinates. It was the action of Voldemort planning to kill the Potters -- years before the film series takes place -- that turned him "good" and persuaded him to side with Dumbledore and from that point on he was a good character. While in the films themselves he was always a good guy, he was a bad guy in the beginning.
442hoeky Yeah -- I have to admit it was rather confusing in the film. It's explained a lot better in the books.
JegoryFilmsLimited Yeah but because its before the series takes place he was technically always a good guy in the franchise
Well in the movie it wasnt explained
Jwk1706 That's true, but, in the universe J.K. Rowling created and the films were based on, he started as a bad guy. Thus, even though he was a good guy at the start of the first book, he was still a "bad guy gone good".
Put yourself in the shoes of the people who watched Star Wars for the first time back in the 1970s and 80s. They knew that Vader had been a good guy, even though he started the films as a bad one -- his transformation wasn't shown until the prequels came out, but he was still a classic example of a "good guy gone bad" back in the 80s. It's just the same here.
The concept of villain-turned-hero could still apply to Snape if you consider the first Voldemort war. Snape WAS a loyal Death Eater and intercepted information that led to Voldemort's attack on infant Harry. It was the death of Lily that made him switch sides; how could he work for the man who killed his only love? But as they described the scenario with Snape in the video it's an incorrect bad-to-good transformation; his motive was always double-agent for the good guys.
+InkHeart17 severus snape only turned to dumbledore to try to save lily potter he hated harry because he hated james for marrying lily as lily was snapes best friend snape had an obsessive love with lily
+Katelynn Harp He was truly in love with Lily. The proof of that is the form that his Patronus took. In the book, one's Patronus charm takes on the form of either one's parents or the one that they love. Snape's Patronus was a doe, like Lily's.
When I was young, I used to hate Darth Vader but when he died, I was depressed as fuck
Ikr
I used to hate him too because of his mask.
It was his redeeming final words that made the difference. James Earl Jones was amazing, and no one aside from the directors knew he was Darth Vader until the last movie in the trilogy. It was a huge reveal for audiences in the early 80s
I always seen darth vader as a brute villain, until I seen episode 6. Where my opinions on him softened. And when I started finding out more about the lore in recent years, I don't see darth vader as a villain anymore.
Um... Terminator didn't "turn good"... he was a different terminator, they came off the assembly line.
Actually, I think the T-800s were a group mind controlled by SkyNet. If a T-800, namely, the one from T2, was able to break out of the group mind, he would be completely in control of their own actions and choices. So, yeah, if it was the same one from the original movie, than yes, its a perfect example of a bad guy becoming a good one.
Not exactly, the deleted scene from T2 goes over how John and Sarah had to open up his head, take out his chip, and change it's settings to where he could be independent and actually start learning things. But yeah, TOTALLY different Terminator from T1 (which was crushed in a press, damaging his chip but allowing it to be basis for Skynet [talk about self fulfilling prophecy]) and T2.
Cheshire Cat 5732 - Your theory is possible especially with the latest Terminator movie in which Skynet himself said the machines were merely "slaves."
However, I don't think any of this is related to my original comment. Regardless of whether it was individual AI or group controlled AI (like the Borg), the terminator in Terminator 1 was a "different" terminator than the one in T2.
So in sense, even base on your theory, the terminator in T2 broke free of Skynet's control, he wasn't the same terminator as the one in T1, which was crushed and destroyed.

The T-800 never turned from bad to good. There was a "bad" T-800 & a completely different "good" T-800. One sent back by Skynet & one sent back by John Conor.
Simpson
But John Conner reprogrammed the T-800 so it did go from bad to good >_
cr0nosphere in a different timeline I believe.
Severus Snape isn't a bad guy! You will know that if you have read the books... Severus is just a sociopathic guy...
Sociopaths can't love you moron
Yes! They can love a evry short numbers of persons, look like 2 or 3 peoples...
César LE NAI Lily Potter would be one of those 2 or 3 people.
Are you kidding me? Snape was never a sociopath. He was lonely and angry, not insane
Actually Snape was a death eater before Harry's parents died. If I remember correctly It was Voldemort killing Harry's mother (whom Snape loved) that turned him against Voldemort.
Was Snape ever really a bad guy? He was come across as an ass hole but we only find out in the end that he always wanted to protect harry so even though we can't see it in the beginning he really was always good.
He was originally a full-blown Death Eater until Voldemort threatened to kill Lily Potter, at which point he became disillusioned and became a spy for Dumbledore to try and protect her. So yes, he was originally a proper bad guy and didn't have any intention of protecting Harry at all until Lily's life was threatened.
Katharine Gould
Yeah but through all of the movies he was always a good guy it was before the movies when he was bad.
The88shrimp Well technically the past is part of the story, right?
I think he was more of an anti-hero. Certainly not good or bad.
E thought of him as a bad guy. That's enough.
For some reason I can't help but think Anakin is smiling under that mask while he fights Luke cause he's proud of how far his boy has come :)
Darth Vader and Snape should be higher than T-800
Maybe not Snape...
Correction... Snape was never bad, just pretending
Correction... he was a death eater before Harry was born
Lethal Insanity Correction... He was a Death Eater before Harry was born.
Jet The Hawk Correction... no one cares about grammar
Snape wasn't just bad... He was an evil, stalking, abusive sadist who ruined Harry's life and I will never understand why so many hype over him.
He tortured his own studentds, particularly Harry, Hermione and Neville, for his own sick pleasure, making them feeling bad. NOTHING exuses that.
He never loved Lily, he merely obsessed over her, like Edward over Bella. He also more or less sent Voldemort to Godric's Hollow and thereby causing the deaths of James and Lily and the murder appempt on Harry.
In short: he could as well have killed Harry himself and I'm certain he would have, if he wasn't to busy making Dumbledore believe that he was their side. So Harry did right to hate and distrust him all along.
By the way, don't bother answer this comment. If you write anyway, I'll block you. My expericence of you is that you are more irrational and hostile to anyone who does not agree with you than rabid Twilight-fans (you're no better than them either) and I don't have time for trolls like you.
MadamPluto
Well.... you said not to respond... but I'm going to anyway. Not to hate, mind, but to... correct. Snape acted like a complete asshat, yes, but it was his actions in the end that makes him be on this list. He protected Harry, he sent him the sword of Gryffindor, he was spying for Dumbledore, and had to kill him because A. Dumbledore didn't want Malfoy to have blood on his hands, and B. He had to to earn Voldemort's trust. Not only that, he was attempting to protect everyone the first night Harry leaves. He was aiming at a Death Eater, but missed and hit George instead. So, to sum it up, without Snape, Harry would've been dead in his first year. If you recall Snape saved Harry his first year at Hogwarts.
During the books and the films Snape was never actually bad, he was following Dumbledore's orders the whole time. Dumbledore told Snape to kill him several months before Snape did so. He worked closely with Voldemort as a spy for Dumbledore. Everything he did was part of Dumbledores plan
Wrong, he was bad at a certain point, since he once was an actual death eater, before Lilly died.
Yes he was a death eater before Lily died but for the duration of the books, while Harry is around he may be a dick but he wasn't actually bad, although I can't argue that he wasn't evil before that. If watchmojo were only judging off the books and the films then they shouldn't really put him on the list.
Victoria McCoy Yeah, ok. I only wanted to correct your statement saying 'Snape was never actually bad', which he was before the events in the books. Hell, he didn't even care for Harry and James when Voldemort was going to kill them, as long as Lily would survive. When he discovered they were in danger he asked Dumbledore to protect Lily. He didn't care about James or Harry at all.
Indeed.
Yeah cause dumbledore wanted voldemort to think snake was bad and the only way he could make voldemort think he was evil was by killing dumbledore but really the whole time he was trying to protect Harry :-)
I have to [almost] disagree with the inclusion of Snape as a bad guy. He was a good guy the entire time Harry was alive and for all actions mentioned, he just had to act bad in the end in order to accomplish the goal of destroying Voldemort.
He killed Dumbledore at Dumbledore's request in order to spare him from a horrible curse he received from one of Voldemort's horcruxes. Snape managed to limit the curse to his hand, but it wouldn't last forever.
However, Snape was once a death eater, strictly on Voldemort's side. So he could still be considered a bad guy gone good - way way good, having put way more effort and heart into doing what had to be done than any other I've ever known to be written.
Terminator is not even the same machine that doesn't count. Also Snape never was bad so he doesn't count either. Darth is totally #1.
Number 1 is wrong because he is the same model, but not the same robot from the first film. So they're technically two different characters.
I agree. And another question is: Can robots actually be good or evil? They can be used for such by others, but they themselves just follow the way they're programmed...
Yeah, also Vader deserved the number one spot as well!
Marcos Vazquez you're right, For god sake, who didn't cry like a little bitch at the end of Star wars.
At least we got to see ghost Anakin lol.
Marcos Vazquez
yep
Snape was always good! And it was made VERY clear why he killed Dumbledore, come on Watchmojo!
Yeah..
He may have been good during the movies secretly, but he was still bad before the events of the Harry potter.
He was never bad in the first place, before Harry Potter came or not. He knew Harry was coming, and told him everything before he died.
BlueHeartGaming He was bad, he was a death eater. It was a big plot point.
He pretended to be a death eater. It was the twist when Snape told Harry everything at the end. Dumbledore's death was planned.

We all wish they have created a list of the Top 10 bad guys gone good in TV.
Can we really say the T-800 was a bad guy gone good, though? In the first movie, it came in as the villain and stayed the villain until destroyed. The "good" T-800s in the second and third movie, while "the same make and model" as the first were different machines both times.
It's not like the Vader/Anakin Skywalker situation where it was the same character and same person through all three movies.

Terminator didn't turn good. In the first movie he was a random cyborg sent for kill Sarah Connor, and in the second one he was another different cyborg sent for protect John
Exactly! When I saw it at #1 First thing I said was "That doesn't count, it's a whole other robot"
If we're into technicalities, the second cyborg was just as evil as the first, until it was reprogrammed to be good. That's what counts.
MtMz
well no not really, the cyborg would be neutral, until decided what it should go back in time to do, so it would still not count
Yeah to be technical the robots have no alignment, they arnt evil or good.
yeah i call bullshit it was 2 different robots
Terminator before Lord Vader ? Are you kidding me ? Terminator is a machine, he is nice because he was reprogramed, Vader is human and he is turning from the evil due to his son. I gave Anakin Skywalker first place.

+konjbgr13 Yeah, but Snape, the one that made it on the list was good when he was a child, then bad, then back to good. So she could of made that list.
I see your point and you're right. They shouldn't have include him either. They should probably put them in a new list.
+konjbgr13 Don't forget Darth Vader too. He was good, turned bad, then back to good at the end.
Darth Vader should be #1. The T-800 in the 2nd movie is NOT the same Terminator as in the first movie, and Vader's redemption and return to the good side was the very heart or climax of the Star Wars trilogy. In The Terminator, it was a plot detail.
you can piss off with Snape at number 4 he was a good guy since the start of Harry Potter
If u actually read the books u would know that Snape worked for voldemort until he thought lily was in danger so he went to dumbledore to protect her. And so he became a spy for dumbledore after she was killed by voldemort
xxJackWillxx hahahaha you clearly haven't read the books if you don't know that the series starts AFTER Lily and James have been killed and Snape became good before they got killed anyway he went to Dumbeldore when he suspected Voldemort was going to Lily and James
Yes but they purposly made snape look evil for the 7 movies to make the 8th movie very suprising and emotional
xxJackWillxx yeah but thats the book, in the movies he was always good
Harley Hudson The books too.
I think Gru should be higher on this list. Who else agrees?
Oogie Boogie agree
Darth Vader should be
I personally thought he should've been only an honorable mention and get replaced by the Vinyards from AHX, but agree to disagree.

It doesn't make sense since Roshan is already a baby in the movie, and yes he's annoying, but that doesn't mean that he has anything to do with that "trend".
DisneyFanatic2364, I’m a huge fan of your work!!! I just love Bride of Discord & Daughter of Discord! I could just faint!
The T-800 and snape do not count, one was allways a good guy and the other follows orders
Not only that, the T800 from the original was a different machine.
That's like have two soda machines, one that eats your money and one that doesn't, and... ugh, I don't feel like explaining it further, you get where I'm going with this...

You forgot Hector Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Feloinous gru is his real name!?!? Wow xD i didn't know that....
#Themoreyouknow
oh
Yep
Same lol
Same and why is he only 6
Bethany Schnieder It's a play on "felon"
I feel like this video should be updated bc there were some more nice Darth Vader moments when he befriended an imperial officer
Snape was never actually bad...
He was. He was a death eater and turned good when Lily was murdered.
Really?
After he and Lily stopped being friends, he started frequenting the more dodgy slytherins, and became a death eater with them. Lily's death was what made him switch. That said, I don't think Snape ever agreed with Voldemort. Back then he was an awkward bullied teen who wanted to fit in a group.
Fidel Squire Well, you learn something new every day!
+MuddaTrucka Yes, and can I add something on top of that. You know that big glassed teacher Sybill Trelawney? She was trying to be teacher for Hogwarts so Dumbledore met with her in Hog's Head (Aberforth's Inn) and there Dumbledore knew Sybill was wrong in the head and was going to leave then Sybill goes nervous and goes into that prophet mode like when she says to Harry in Prisoner of azkaban, and tells the famous prophecy but then funny thing is that Severus was death eater then who was mad after Lily was with James where he half-heard the prophecy before Aberforth catches him eavesdropping and kicking him out.
So Severus goes to Voldemort and tells him the half-prophecy and he goes and kills James, Lily right after that Severus is very sad because he asked Voldemort to not hurt Lily but he still did that's when Severus met with Dumbledore and ever since became his spy to the dark lord. Although Snape seemed to despise Dumbledore he was happy for what he did to emotional wreck he was.
Also Severus is my most favorite character in the series he's pure genius in dark arts and the potion, he invented some dark spells (Sectumsempra, Levicorpus, Muffliato spell which came really handy when they were hunting horcruxes) he's also the Half Blood Prince and above all he was bullied kid who was misunderstood his whole life who had undying love for Lily, who gave knowledge about the wizarding world to her and the person created by James's bullying and later who becomes good after Lily's death and sees his wrongdoings.
Sorry I really love Snape, if he didn't hear that stuff Voldemort wouldn't have died for 14 years or so but on the other hand James and Lily wouldn't have died but for good or bad he saved the Wizarding World from evil Voldemort who was too blind to the power of love.
Big mistake, the T800 from the first movie is not the T800 from the second movie, só it didn't change actually.
That's pretty much how I see it. It's not a bad terminator turned good. It's a bad terminator and then a different good one. Though you could still count the one from T2 as he was captured in the future (so bad terminator at the time) then reprogrammed to be good, but that happened off screen.
DisneyFanJen
The first one and the second are identical. Mass production for killer robots in the future.
DisneyFanJen He says he was reprogrammed at the beginning of the movie.
*****
yes, reprogrammed, so he wasn't good by choice, every villain here made the choice to be good, a robot only ever follows it's programming, the T800 isn't sentient therefore can not make it's own mind up about things
Domolikesyoshi He is sentient. That's how you form a connection with him, and that's the whole point.
"Come with me if you want to live." That sounds like something James Bond would say.
Professor Severus Snape was never evil he may look scary and intimidating but he was actually protecting Harry Potter which is funny cuz before Harry was born Snape had a crush on Lily (Harry's mother) but apparently they weren't meant for each other so Lily went for James (Harry's father) instead and Snape became lonely and when Harry started attending Hogwarts Snape felt it was his duty to protect Harry and besides Snape (before his death) was one of the most loyal and dedicated teachers at Hogwarts he was just a man doing his job (despite his history with Voldemort)
Where's John Silver from Treasure Planet?
Vader wasn't a villain. He is a representative of the legal legitimate government that prevented wars between minor factions keeping every one in line. Its Luke that's a villain, killing hundreds of thousands of people of the death star (including rebel prisoners) showing no regard for the law or safety of others.
Both the Skywalkers were villains.
spursfan1977 dude killed children what world is that legal?
Well they did blow up a planet
children being trained as jedi who will kill and enforce their will on people. vader didnt blow up a planet he was just there at the time.
so training children to fight a war and kill any one who wished to leave the republic with the separatists is fighting for good? your justifying child soldiers. how wrong is that. vader wanted that stopped, he fought for children to be freed of slavery while the jedi turned a blind eye to it. (actually read the books the Empire end up the good guys and winning)
Snape was never actually bad - he damned himself to save and protect Potter
and killed Dumbledore to protect Draco
+Michael Martin But it made us believe he was bad. It has the same effect
+Michael Martin Yes he was. He was once a Death eater but then he turned spy for Dumbledore stated in Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire. BAM! Read the books. Scratch that they state it in the movie.
The Bowler Hat Man, and King Ghidorah deserved to be on this list
Doc Oc is probably one of the only things I liked about the Tobey Maguire Spiderman films.
My favorite villains gone good are May Day and Frances X Hummel.
Severus Snape was good guy since the beginning.
lol no
Umm yes he was
Spoiler: Doctor Oct gets another chance to redeem himself in Spiderman: No Way Home. As he was among the supervillians in the different Spiderman Universes that knew his universe's spiderman's identity as Peter Parker as backlash of MCU Peter Parker trying to reserve his close friends and family's memory of knowing his secret identity while having Dr. Strange erase the memory of his secret identity from everyone else (as of all the other super villians in the Spiderman trilogy/Amazing Spiderman universes that knew Peter Parker is Spiderman along with those universe's Spidermans).
The two T-800s aren't the same character. Doesn't count.
Yep
+Matthew Trzcinski i guess it counts since it was even the same machine just reprogramed to protect Connor
true
It wasn't the same machine. It was just the same model. If it were the same machine, then the events of T1 could never have happened. Since at some point, prior to it's destruction, in fact prior to it being sent back in the first place, it would have had to be sent to protect John Connor. If the same machine sent to kill Sarah Connor was instead sent back to protect John, then the series of events, that lead Sarah to fall in love, and sleep with Kyle Reese would never have happened, as there is now no machine programmed to do this, no reason to send Kyle back, and most importantly, no John Connor, as his birth would never have happened either.
Well, the one in Film 2 is not the one in the first film, still he is the same model and so we can see in Film 1, how the Terminator of Film 2 was, since they were at least very simmiliar. Maybe even the same.
So while we do not see the "redemption" (while i would not even say that even, since he just seems to be a slave who is not allowed to kill, without really noble motives), we can see, that it happened.
Where's Wreck-It Ralph?
Kincaid Theodore Rabb he was never a villain. He was a bad guy, but not a villain. He never tried to actively hurt anyone. He was a fantastic character, but his issue was anger issues.
snape has never been a bad guy, he is one of the best heroes imo
René Vos He was a bad guy before Voldemort decided to kill Lily. Dumbledore forgave him and made him a spy.
You readed the book ? He was villain in the wizard war , he telled about the prophecy to voldemort ,
If it were not for him, Voldemort would not want to kill Potter , but after Lily's death, he chose to be good
thx, i haven't read the books, so in the movie he's actually quite a bit of a different character cuz he never crossed the to the bad side there.
"The physical appearance of the "please" makes no difference." -Gru
LMAO
I still dont get it....So Is Anakin a Good guy gone bad gone good?
+TheLoneWolf Emils Child/MegaSniper yep.
Anakin is both, depending on which trilogy.
no just no
Yes, he was a Good Guy, Than Turned Evil Than Turned good again lol
Darth vadre shod hav been number 1!!!!!!
Snape's should have been number 1 since it was done over the course of several movies and the best build up.
Quotes:
“The thing about bad guys: They always LOSE!” - MegaMind.
“Get Zorin for me!” - May Day.
“Good God, what have I done?!” - Hummel.
“I will not die a monster!” - Otto Octavius.
“And it was the worst mistake I’ve ever made!” - Gru.
“You have your mother’s eyes.” - Snape.
“You already... have, Luke.” - Anakin.
“I swear I will not kill anyone.” - T-800.
Came here for Anakin
maleficent?
If you're talking about Angelina Joly she wasn't evil in live action reboot. It was King Stephen's fault because he chopped of her wings to become king and because of that she cursed Aurora but in the end she regretted it
No. She's evil through and through. The lame live action movie doesn't count.
Stefan Loncar It's Jolie, not Joly!
That movie sucks. Maleficent is evil, and everyone liked her that way.
What about Bucky/Winter Soldier from Captain America 2 ?
He was originally good, but turned bad because Hydra wiped his memories, and became good again when he recovers them. The candidates have to start out bad then become good in order to make the list.
Patrick McGinty But Dr. Octopus started good in the film and so did Darth Vader, since you have to consider the prequels.
Yeah, but those two came to the dark side willingly. Technically Bucky doesn't count because Hydra wiped his memories when they got a hold of him.
I love Gru and Severus Snape. We’ll always remember him.
I can't believe you put the grinch above snape
NO Snape was not good all along. people misinterpret this part of the story so much. He was a loyal Death Eater for many years and he was overall not a very good person (bullying students, belittling misfits...). His only good trait was his ability to love. He becomes more complex as the movies go on though.
charectars like Darth Vedar and Snape deserves #1 spot more than T-800
because he didn't turn good, he was turned good
According to the Terminator 2 book, the took the T-800 from a storage room after Skynet’s defeat, and the T-800 from the first movie was a completely different terminator. He wasn’t a bad guy before he was good. The first time he was activated was after he had been reprogrammed.
Doctor Octopus didn't kill his wife. It was an accident.
He did kill his wife. He didnt murder his wife. Two different things.
i should add:
1. Rexy (Jurassic park)
2. Snowball (Secret life of pets)
3. Roland Tembo (The lost world: jurassic park)
Yep Rexy and Blue (Jurrasic World) However Blue went Good Bad and then Good. Though it was probably imprinting on the raptor that made it good again.
Roland Tembo was great call. F'n Pete Postlethwaite was awesomely good and of course did not get any credit for it. Then again action movies never get the credit they are do.
that's a joke, right?
snape was never bad guy he was loyal from the beginning . JK Rowling said he never intended harm he never was loyal to death eaters even before lilly died
He loved Lily from the beginning but WAS a loyal death eater until he found out Lily's life was in danger. Then when she did die it was only out of his love for her that he served Dumbledore and helped protect Harry.
#1. Scrooge
2. Alex in A Clockwork Orange
Well, for those who are very specific, Severus Snape never was a bad guy, thus making him not a "bad-guy-gone-good". But that is just to be picky.
Yeah but J.K.Rowling wanted to make him seem evil. But he generally did kind of hate Harry because James bullied him in their teenage years and because Harry was then a teen Harry reminded Severus of James. THE CIRCLE OF HATE (sung in the circle of love tune please)
THEGAMEBEATER11 Yeah but he was ultimately not a bad guy, which is why I said "for those who are very specific". So to be precise, he was never a bad guy, he just seemed like one. Which is why I guess you *could* say he qualifies for the list, but at the same time he does not. See what I mean?
They should do a in-between list
TimpsterTheDude He origally snape served voldimort then he knew lily was in danger so became dumbulldore's spy
=ADE= CMoney011803 That might be true. but he did not turn into a hero from bad guy at the part Mojo mentioned.
WatchMojo is like watching American movie trailers. They manage to spoil the tension and outcome of the entire video in less than a minute.
That's why its said spoiler alert at the begging of every video
I mean of the video itself, not the movies or shows involved :P
The real reason vader yelled NNNNNOOOOOOO! Was beacause he didnt get on number one
LOL SO TRUE
+EpicMinecrafter5000 hehe btw i am using my dads acount for youtube
IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS DARTH VADER TURNING GOOD AT NUMBER 2?!?!?! It was one of the most heartwarming moments in movies.
