Are there any examples where the villain sees this as a chance for redemption, but the hero denies him? All I can think of are reverse examples.

I just want something where the bad guy and good guy are friends.
You have the ones where they know who they are outside of their hero/villain work but at best their still against each other.

>the day that he leaves, he gets killed because he was in the mafia

I swear there was a doujin where the hero was the leader of a Sentai team, who was boinking the daughter of the BBEG, and in the end, they both more or less say "screw it" and elope together.

I wouldn't say he saw it as a chance for redemption, but a few Megaman episodes from the 90's cartoon had this premise with Protoman and Mega shot his ass down every time.

They get to blow millions in mafia money every year, get to see the world, play with expensive shit. Essentially dick around for years all at the expense of a crime boss who has to keep putting up with their shit.

>Character is allways seen wearing a mask
>Somebody takes off the mask
>There's another mask under the first mask
>>78793368
Yep.
During one of his earliest confrontations with Venom he won by tricking the symbiote into thinking he wanted it back.
Again, Spidey really was a dick to the poor thing.

A few years back, the boss finally realized how stupidly, stupidly loyal they are to him and they've been some of his most respected henchmen since (they even saved his life at one point). They have far fewer money issues these days.
They still opt to dick and chase Pikachu.
>>78793597
My guess is that Giovanni's counting on their antics in foreign countries to fool the local authorities into underestimating Team Rocket.
Five minutes after Ash and buddies save the day and walk off into the sunset, a band of Team Rocket elites waltzes in and roflstomps everyone's shit.
>>78793224
To be fair, symbiotes do not give a singular fuck about redemption. They are 100% pure evil, unless you beat them down hard enough.
The only reason the Venom symbiote cares is because Spider-Man rejected it. That's all it cares about. It wants to stick to Parker and go around wrecking shit, and so if it can't have Peter then NO ONE CAN!
It deserves it.
>>78793696
You're forgetting Venom's backstory prior to the Bendising.
It was considered insane by its own kind and locked up because it wanted to bond with a single host for life, instead of going through hosts like tissue paper like the rest of its race does.
Hell, the worst thing it did while Peter was bonded to it was take his body out webslinging while he was asleep. That's hardly the kind of thing that justifies trying to kill it.
Eddie Brock's pretty much to blame for the Venom symbiote going insane.Unless you consider Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars to be canon.
>>78783025
>>78793157
wasn't James basically being sold into an abusive, loveless marriage? I'd run away from that shit too
>>78792355

>Villain is former hero who's outlook has changed from what he's been through

It's more like

>Keeps it around for a while.
>It tells him to kill people.
>He says no.
>It keeps telling him to kill people until it tries to force him to kill people

Lots of people forget that Spidey had the symbiote for quite a while.
>>78793670
Pretty sure giovanni also notice that wreid correlation between Jessie/james landing on a new region and the local mafia disbanding sometime later.
>>78794255
Yes, we weep, daily, for Dreadwing...
>>78794551
Uh no. It didn't turn the host evil in the original story.
It just took Peter's body out webslinging while he was asleep, that's the worst thing it did.
The whole "turning Peter evil" thing was a retcon that I'm pretty sure started in the 90s cartoon and was added to the comics because otherwise, as I've already established, Peter's treatment of the symbiote makes him look like a dick.
Nothing better than enemy-co-operating fun.

I miss when Vegeta wasn't a hero, just an ally out of necessity. That scene when he lets Cell go perfect was god tier.

Hasn't the symbiote gone back to being the way it was since it merged with Flash
>>78796689
That's what the Bendising is.
They basically threw out the symbiote's 30-year history just to appeal to people who are only familiar with Agent Venom and only know Venom as "a guy with a costume that can do cool things".
>>78781202

I miss Gargoyles.
>>78796792
Yep, she had a symbiote of her own (the clone that the real Venom ate a long ass time ago). And then she was shoved in Marvel's Vault of Characters We're Never Gonna Fucking Use Again.
>>78796832
>Killed millions on a regular basis
>Murdered innocent people all the time
To be fair he was kinda forced into that shit by Frieza. He stopped killing people after Freezy-Pop bought the farm.
>Jeopardized the entire universe by letting Cell upgrade just for his own ego
I'll give you that one but Vegeta at least made up for it by distracting Cell and giving Gohan a chance to finish him off.
But let's be honest: in a setting where A: resurrecting people is a trivial matter and B: the afterlife is confirmed to exist, killing people really isn't that big of a deal.
In real life killing is considered to be so bad because it's permanent, and since we don't know for sure what there is after death, the victim's loved one's might never see the victim again.
It doesn't matter if one of your loved ones dies if you know it's guaranteed that you're gonna see them in Other World eventually.
>>78793880
Anyone got a link to this scene or can tell me what to search for

You mean you lost your shit in a good way? Because I tought it was pretty cool. That and Star Fox and Star Wolf actually teaming up in the final mission.

I always wonder at what point Vegeta switched teams. Frieza Saga Vegeta would absolutely go back to conquer Earth, and when he became a Super Saiyan he must've thought he was invincible.

I didn't like how Venom was the arch-villain in Reign, but I did like the metatextual rationalization for it.
That the symbiote represents Peter's greatest failure to accept responsibility.
>>78797721
He killed the crowd at the world tourn in the Majin arc, and they were resurrected by Bulma before Buu killing Earth. So can't they not be resurrected again?
>>78801807
As soon as he got with Bulma. She's a bitch, but the earth game ridiculous
