    What if your favorite villain decided to trade in their evil for a shot at heroism? On this episode of the Project Infinite Podcast, we share our thoughts on some of the most memorable villain-to-hero transformations across movies, TV shows, and video games. From Jaime Lannister to Darth Vader, we make the argument that villain to hero arcs, when done correctly, are some of the most compelling arcs in a writing toolkit. We spend some time up top talking about the Minecraft movie's potential, Signourney Weaver joining the Star Wars universe, and a slew of DC news including middling Joker 2 reviews, The Batman II's tone and surprise casting for the Lanterns show. Join us for this engaging and speculative conversation on the ever-expanding multiverse of fandom!
