“It’s a children’s show, of course they’re not going to KILL the bad guy!! They’re going to be forgiven!! They’re complex characters!!”

Okay so

The Incredibles: Syndrome is sucked violently into an air turbine and explodes. Syndrome was previously a fanboy of Mr. Incredible who got too attached and started getting in his way. When Mr. Incredible rejected him, he turned to a life of supervillainy. Despite his rough past, he was not forgiven for his actions.

Tangled: Mother Gothel slowly withers away in agonising pain before falling from a tower and turning to dust. Not once was she forgiven for emotional abusing Rapunzel for her entire life, or ever shown to be sympathetic.

Pokemon X and Y: Lysandre, a billionaire philanthropist, is shown to be a caring man who wants what is best for the world. However, he believes that since the world is running low on resources, he must activate the Ultimate Weapon and wipe out most of the life on the planet, saving only his group, Team Flare. AKA: Genocide.
Lysandre is crushed when the Ultimate Weapon is destroyed and caves in on him. Nobody ever forgives him for his crimes. The closest we get to that is his old friend, Professor Sycamore, saying that if Lysandre had taken a different path, he could have had the potential to do good.

THE PRINCE OF EGYPT (AKA THE BEST EXAMPLE OF ALL TIME): Ramesses, the pharaoh of Egypt, enslaves the Jewish population. HE OWNS SLAVES AND DOES NOT CARE FOR THEIR WELLBEING. That being said, he is shown as a loving father who would do anything for his family. Upon his death, his son, Ramesses II becomes Pharoh. Rameses II was always a close friend to his brother, Moses, and the two love each other very much.
THAT BEING SAID, NEITHER RAMESSES II, NOR HIS FATHER ARE EVERY FORGIVEN FOR THE ATROCITIES THAT HAVE BEEN COMMITED AGAINST THE JEWISH POPULATION OF EGYPT. DESPITE BEING FAMILY MEN AND HAVING FEELINGS AND ALL THAT, THEY ARE NEVER EVER FORGIVEN FOR SLAVERY

Children are not as dumb or as sensitive as you think. Children can recognise evil, and children can understand why a villain is killed off. Teaching impressionable children to forgive anyone without thought is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, especially in the political enironment that we currently inhabit. Teaching children that deep down, fascist dictators are people too uwu and should be treated with kindness, is DANGEROUS AS HELL.

If anyone has any other examples of children’s media in which the villain is killed and/or not forgiven for their crimes, please feel free to add.
