i think my favorite is Walter White in Breaking bad

i had high hopes for that themed character arc in metal gear solid 5 but story wise the game fell short. Such a missed opportunity.

Edmond Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo

he was never really portrayed as being good, but I liked Griffith' s character arc in Berserk

How is he an Incel when he is impregnating a queen/ senator/ super model? You don't even know what the word means.

Classic literary example would have to be Lucifer as portrayed by Milton in Paradise Lost. Compelling enough to more or less be incorporated into broader Christian thought. And to constantly be referenced by people who point out how pride is the most severe of the deadly sins.

Macbeth and Othello are pretty much the archetypes for this trope that everyone else aspires to, it seems criminal to neglect them but equally unfair to compare them to everyone else.

Shane is easily my favorite protagonist to antagonist change. Its especially impressive since he was a completely abysmal character in the comics.

But the fact that it was LITERALLY poor circumstances and bad luck that caused his descent is what makes it great. He could have recovered too if Lori didnt fuck it up with her guilt.

Ozymandias from Watchmen
Oxymandias is not evil, he just wanted to save the world from evil people that was hiding in the big cities. Even the God-like Dr. MANHATAN agreed with his take on how we should deal with troublesome humanity. Kovac embrace the evil that live inside every human being and never tries to solve it with brute force that prove to be more effective than what his method is.

NieR.

He slaughters innocent shades, gets a bunch of his friends and allies killed on his quest, and effectively kills his own soul while giving a hollow speech about how he'll cut down anyone who threatens his friends or family, dooming humanity to slow extinction. And he'll never know what he did just for his daughter.
