Best. Comeback. EVER!

[Sixties Spidey]

Title says it all. Who do you think made a comeback that made his/her career better.

Personally I think Britney Spears had a great career comeback. She went through hell, but survived it, and now look at her now, her career's in a better shape now.

So who do you think made a great comeback?

Brad Pitt... for a long time people thought of him as this bland barely capable of performing actor who was just a name in the media. But then he showed up in 'Burn after reading' and he got a lot better and now has a solid reputation again.

John Travolta. Back in the early 90s his glory days were far behind him and he was acting in those Look Who's Talking movies. Then along came a cocky director fresh off of his first movie casting Travolta in the lead role simply because the director liked him in Midnight Cowboy.

Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction then won all kinds of awards including the Palme D'Or at Cannes and Travolta's career was back on track.

The U.S. Army. If America's future ever looks bleak and dark, the Army kicks down the door and starts a tirade of "fuckyourface."

 

[Aardvark]

Moon Knight. He started off your standard, run-of-the-mill, forgettable, D-Grade Batman ripoff, so died out quickly. But then he came back as your typical burnt-out anti-hero and quickly turned awesome.

Metallica's new album is actually decent. My two favorites are That Was Just Your Life and All Nightmare Long.

Jesus was a complete noob. Took him 3 days to respawn.
On-Topic, Robert Downey Jr seems to have a cycle of these. His career is basically a huge rollercoaster.

Deadpool, had his comic cancelled, then was sharing a book until he was relaunched on the back of secret invasion and has 2 books and a minseries at the minute.

 

[JemJar]

Eric Cantona.

Talented maverick footballer with a fiery temper lost his rag post-sending off and attacked a fan. Cue 9 month ban from the game and trivial fine and community service sentence from a court.

Returned much more calm and in control and proved himself to be one of the most talented players in the history of Manchester United. Despite the luminaries of past and present to play at the club he still repeatedly features in "All-time best Man Utd XI" line-ups.
