The fact that they made you root for Walter and then you realize that after defeating Gus, the only great threat is Walter, He went from a harmless and innocent teacher to slowly losing his kind heart and molding it into a cold and manipulative socipath

[@darkmatter1721]

Hearing Hank say Walter bombed a nursing home really cleared my head from the walter dick riding i was doing, i just realized "oh shit he didn't just kill gus, so many people could've died"

[@itsmikalaska]

fact

[@NoHandle44]

I'll be honest, I'm not sure if Vegeta really deserved his character change. Like, after Namik, he was still evil, just holding off on it. And somehow through fighting, he became a good person? He's still a great character no doubt. But he ain't no Zuko. 😊

[@MaymunEjaz]

​@@NoHandle44did u watch the show? I understand but his development makes sense see his pride and ego whenever he gets stronger and gets shattered, he only starts caring after trunks almost gets killed,he actually realises he has a family to protect, and gokus sacrifices and gohans ssj2 makes him question his saiyan nature,the last arc he misses his power and gets it back and we see his will power to fight golu and his ever consuming ego, he fights off the evil and gives his attonement of sacrifice, not the best but u see exactly how he changes

[@NoHandle44]

@@MaymunEjaz I mean, yeah he does change. But it also kinda seems like he has his self reflection when there's a bigger problem at the moment. Like a, "Well I'm evil, but this jelly bean is gonna destroy my family that I just remembered I had. Better kamikaze myself". And him getting humbled by Goku would've been a good start to his growth, if he didn't constantly relapse like every other arc. I want to like his atonement, but it's kinda difficult with how flawed it is.

[@Torgborg2023]

Vegetas neck development is even better bro went from pencil neck to bull neck

[@yakamurachenabacar5774]

Them’s his traps from all that gravity and hyperbolic chamber training.

[@graham7784]

While Ice King aka Simon didn’t have much of an arc in the original show, I will attest that the IK has one of the most shocking reveals off all time. He went from a wacky, kidnapping ice wizard, to the most sad character in the entire show.

[@uwu.r.z4841]

100% agrred on this ice king left my heart broken

[@ungars1312]

He was already a bit pitfull but after that i cried for him

[@Efrencit017]

Fr bro went through it

[@riiddisbuk2496]

Speaking of Walter having the audacity to cry, Bryan Cranston did a good job there with the crying because he saw Kristen Ritter (actress of Jane) look dead and in that moment, Bryan saw the face of his own daughter in that exact same dead position. It haunted him so much to the point where he needed a powerful reminder from Anna Gun (actress of Skyler) that none of it was real. Terrible for Byran there. But I'll admit, VERY GOOD ACTING.

[@lightningjadejavier]

Holy shi- BrBa actors got it rough during productions man! Like i remember seeing a post talking about how skyler can't have social media cause of the internet and her acting to whine walt left the house, and I'd get that in some AMAZING shows, but TWICE!? In ONE show!? Holy- this makes me love brba more, brba also had the part where the baby was calling for it's mom and bryan went along with it, like yooo making brba seems like you not only need phenomenal acting skills but need to have a therapist on stand by 😂

[@dacoop]

Walter’s personality was so abrupt that you have to believe that it was ALWAYS there. Had he stayed at Gray Matter, he would have become a ruthless ceo. The money, power, and recognition would have been too much to keep his ego in check.

[@jackambrose2762]

Stanley Pines, Simon Petrokov, Magneto, Rigby, Hawkgirl, and of course Zuko were the characters from my childhood cartoons who had some of the best changes.

[@Supremecy_gamen]

Simon went from a comedic relief to a depressed old man who lost his fiance from her turning into God. 💀💀

[@jackambrose2762]

@@Supremecy_gamen Yeah hellova rollercoaster that guy went on

[@JPMaverickX7]

Bro I love Zuko and Vegeta. Respect

[@BCCSquidward]

I honestly wouldn't say Super ruined Vegeta's character, It is a topic that comes up every time Super and Vegeta are mentioned. People usually say Super retconned Vegeta because he went back on his Buu Saga development. But the developments aren't the same. In the Buu Saga, Vegeta puts down his life long grudge of revenge against Goku, he's not orienting his entire life around beating Goku anymore. In Super, yes, he still wants to beat Goku, but it's as a regular martial artist and a prince and wanting to be the best he can be, he just didn't lose interest in fighting and retire like half the cast. But you can see the difference when he skips out on training to with his family, like when Bulma was going to give birth.

[@jsemicolona]

Glad someone understands that. I've seen too many people say Super ruined Vegeta when the "You're number one" speech didn't mean I don't want to surpass you anymore

[@tonyrambo4257]

Yea i literally hate super but even a blind man can see super went there rite direction with Vegeta an his character development now goku whole nother topic

[@CaptainPangolin]

Debatable. The whole point of Vegeta Buu Saga was being able to overcome his ego. And in Super he literally need to go back to super over inflated ego to power up.

[@jsemicolona]

@@CaptainPangolin True, but he couldn't fully go through with it he said it himself he couldn't be the man he used to be anymore before Granolah was going to unleash that attack at Vegeta

[@CaptainPangolin]

@@jsemicolona Well, even before that with his Ultra Blue Super Sayan (I don't know the name. The bullshit power up he got from wanking himself "I'm dah fucking sayan prince !")

[@jaylaavincent5791]

[@ObaREX]

I think what makes these arcs so great is how the writers are very honest about the characters' situations. We are shown every step to their change in painstaking detail. Ugly parts and all. Which is what makes the conclusion to their arcs so satisfying.

[@its_hokori]

I think 1 thing needs to be understood, character progression =/= character development. Static characters can have great character development Ex. The joker or batman, they're fairly static characters, but the development is from the exploration of how they would respond in different situations. Development = exploring how characters respond to different things, and gaining further insight on their thoughs, ideas, purpose, objectives etc progression = how a character changes through time It just so happens to be the case that in many cases development co-incides with progression (as shown here)

[@foreignfat6009]

You said well. Vegeta has a minimum of character development, but a lot of janky character progression. And that is why the vegeta character is shallow and wide. Walter has both in detail, well done. Just ridiculous this guy put vegeta over Guts into the list.

[@dentangaji6161]

Which one is more important or impactful?

[@StevenJones851]

​@@foreignfat6009it's probably because Vegeta is more Popular

[@its_hokori]

@@dentangaji6161 depends on the character. Again with the joker from Batman for example, it’s development. With someone like zuko from avatar, his progression was fascinating (his development was great too)

[@PotatoNuggetBoi]

Honestly Zuko and Vegeta imo have the best character development in fiction so it's a W to see them both in one video

[@invisanon]

Super Vegeta? I'm asleep. GT Vegeta? Now that's how you do my boy.

[@smcphee8499]

Yes. GT vegeta is peak even if don’t like the show. Vegeta chill af and care about surpassing Goku. A lot of lines also brought to tears too.

[@siva6272]

wdym super was peak too, go see top arc and black goku arc his lines in that are pure godly and in recent chapters man is feeling guilty for his previous actions and thats a huge leap , he is actually chill these days too like after winning against goku he doesn't go on full sicko mode or anything just make fun with goku 🚶‍♂️🤷‍♂️

You forgot that not just the whole "Jane wasn't good for Jesse", but she quite literally threatened to END Walt, also putting his whole family into the pit...

[@Theodoredarling]

Thorfinn has by far the best character development. Goes from an innocent little boy to a stone cold mass murderer who can compete with the strongest killers then he becomes a slave and then becomes a peaceful man who wants people to stop fighting

[@derranekelof1042]

Reverse Character Arcs can also be really great, because it makes you look at characters in different perspectives, like Pink Diamond from Steven Universe.

[@mixox1197]

What makes Zuko's character development feel more human and real was that "relapse" when he chose to side with Azula. When you're recovering you aren't throwing off all bad things at once. There were still traces of that old Zuko because the change was gradual.

I like how the scar on Zukos Face is symbolic, that the Fire Lord isnt fighting the earth kingdom or Water Tribe, he is fighting against all good people who are against him. Another Moment of pure growth, is where Zuko end up being in the Comics again against Aang, cause Aang wants to resettle every inhabitant from the fire Nation colonies to their respective Kingdoms, but Zuko refuses after he realizes that it would tear families apart. I would really recommend reading the comics, its a shame they werent animated, since they are a great bridge to Korra, and even explain what happened to Zukos Mother.
