Ahsoka Tano
It was just after my time, but it has to be really cool to be a kid at that age, follow Ahsoka from the start, and have her grow and constantly relevant for basically your whole life.

Steve from Stranger Things

That was my response the last time this topic came up.

I'd like to add Lando Calrissian... starts off scolding Han, selling out the rebels to the Empire, only to discover that he had a plan to get them to safety, and then becomes a legitimate galactic hero.

If there are any Buffy and Angel fans, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. Best character in either series, imo, though he starts off as a really dislikable, bumbling character.

Came into this flashback expecting to hate this vile and extremely evil man.

Like 3 manga chapters after getting to know him he became one of my favorite one piece characters and he is a goddamn legend, lmao.

If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

Carl from Walking Dead. He used to been that annoying kid that everyone hated in the first few seasons, but he got more likeable as the series went on.

He's actually an even more extreme example of the same idea I was thinking with my pick of Fitz from Agents of SHIELD. A nerdy character who is initially out of his depth out in the real world, but ends up becoming a complete badass in a slow but methodical fashion over the course of the show(s).

Oda is very good at pointing out how media framing can change how actual history went down. It's the best piece of literature that outlines how we need to be critical of what we think of the past. So I'll agree with this one

Shoreleave on The Venture Bros.

Seemed like they just wanted to do a joke about G.I. Joe naming conventions and he ended up being a really well done character throughout the show.

Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender

When she debuted, I thought she was going to be an annoying "tough guy" asshole character, but she very quickly became one of the best characters in the entire series.

Yeah, I've also been really impressed by him.

Shoreleave is definitely one of the best gay secret agents on tv.

I would say Henchman 21 from The Venture Bros could easily win this topic. He starts out as a chubby nerdy comic relief henchman, and turn into a ripped, nerdy badass

that's a great pick, I also expected him to be a dumb joke character and ended up loving him

Al Swearengen from Deadwood. At the start of the series, he seems like a typical villain and I was hoping he'd be killed by the end of the season, but damn, he definitely does grow as a character and, compared to the show's actual villain, can almost seem a gentleman at times.

He's still a repulsive character, especially when you consider he probably still beats his prostitutes at least, until he becomes so injured/ill that he's no longer able, but he still somehow managed to win me over despite that. He's a character that I love but one that I hate to love.
