The most out of place character turns in movies.

well him alone yeah, but it's completely reasonable. lol he is basically being held hostage for a short time scared out of his mind. He's a soldier so I'm pretty sure he isn't afraid to pick up a gun and later try to kill the guys (main characters) that almost killed him but instead let him go.

That one cop in Crash, not the one who was outright racist but the one who picks up Ludacris' friend towards the end. I really hated this movie, and that was one of the many reasons why. It pretty much happened over the course of one scene.

I'm gonna break the rules and name a TV character. An easy target, at that.
Heroes' Nathan Petrelli. He's a kind of good guy who makes bad decisions, then goes bad, then good, then he wants to out everyone then he's a God fearing man and wants to not out everyone, then wants to help everyone, then wants to make an army of superpeople for no reason at all, then want gives up all the superpeople to the government so the government can capture them, but then changes his mind because the government captures them, then he fights the government and becomes Sylar, but he's really still Nathan until he REALLY becomes Sylar and dies.

Also somewhere along the way he got divorced, lost custody of his kids, became an alcoholic and grew a wicked beard but soon after still was able to be elected as a senator.

I gave that show waaaayy too many second chances.

We all did, each season it promised us it had changed...

Really the only way I see to salvage it would actually let of these disasters happens and then have the show set in one of these dystopian futures they're constantly trying to prevent, you could have the badasses that are future peter and hiro. Peter with the scar and Hiro with the sword.

One of the many reasons I just stopped after season three. About half way through season 4 I stood up and simply said "No. This is bullshit."

I'll get flamed for this, but Avatar.

Jake goes from being "I'm knowingly gathering intel to destroy these people" to "Oh my gosh I love this people and will save them. For the humans can't take our land, yes OUR land, despite me not actually being a bloody Na'vi!"

It just felt too quick and too contrived for me. It was a MAJOR character turning point and I felt Cameron put in only a half effort.
