The "redeemed through love" trope is so fucking boring and lazy -- especially the romantic love version. Honestly "uh....he fell in love!" is NOT a valid explanation for drastic character development. Sorry. You have to tell me why he redeemed himself genuinely. I'm not going to root for a guy who's only being good because the sparkly speshul magic of lurve brainwashed him into a guy who pukes puppies and rainbows, or because he's infatuated with Thor/Tony/OFC self-insert and can't get into their pants otherwise. I'd root for a guy who has some sort of moral awakening like Natasha or Tony or Thor -- and "I don't want to hurt my brother by killing people he likes" doesn't count.

If a romance happens too, fine, good way of showing character development if you can avoid lazy shortcuts and cliches, but don't give me that "redeemed through love" bullshit.

(Also, why don't people do more "holy shit I'm a monster please let me redeem myself and fix what I did" fics rather than "he was actually a poor abused misunderstood brainwashed woobie who just needed a hug the whole time" fics? Redemption fics are so much more satisfying.)
