I heard the bully actually redeems himself, is that true? Please let that be a yes and tell me the writers actually had the decency to write a bully that wasn't just written as a cheap generic archetype! There's been like 3 movies from the past 4-5 years that made me want to boycott them because writers think it's so clever to write in these generic bullies; Shazaam, The Adam Project, and The Black Phone, and if this is true, this would make me very happy!
I think we're living in an age where writers can finally take a fucking hint that we don't want excuses to why bullies are generic written sterotypes and are actually doing something about it. I think it's because of characters like Amity Blight and Buford Van Stomm that bullies are no longer seen as generic sterotypes with zero character development. I've seen this shit plenty of times in shows like Danny Phantom and Everybody Hates Chris where the bullies get zero development or redeeming qualities about them and are just there to be assholes to the main character and because the plot somehow demands and thanks to the outdated (and thankfully discontinued) "Status Quo is God" bullshit, any positive character development or redemption from the bullies is lost and then the bully goes back to being an unlikable asshole, in the next episode. So good on them writers for actually giving a shit, these days!
