Must a character be “redeemable”? Is it not enough for them to be compelling?

Everything I hear about the Lilo & Stitch revival somehow makes me angrier. Like,

That realization also led the filmmaking team to divide the character of Cobra Bubbles, Lilo's social worker in the animated film, into a CIA agent of the same name (Courtney B. Vance) and the new role of Mrs. Kekoa (Tia Carrere). "If the dramatic stakes of Lilo is that she's going to get separated from her sister, then you need a person who actually services those stakes in a credible way," Fleischer Camp says. "You can get away with that being Cobra Bubbles in an animated film — a 6-foot-5 huge dude with 'Cobra' tattooed on his knuckles is somehow a social worker in that world."

Hey. Hey, Director Dean Fleischer Camp. Why is a large black man with tattoos having a job as a social worker something you consider so ridiculous that it could only exist in animation? Why are you carefully sidestepping the fact that he is the only black character in the original film? Is it somehow more realistic to turn him into a figure who only interacts with the family through the lens of government defense against extraterrestrials? Or does the idea of a scary looking black man caring about the well-being of people's families confuse you, you racist piece of shit?

You know I want to give this film as little attention as possible but.....Mr. Camp, does it occur to you that Cobra Bubbles is designed as 6-foot-5 tattooed scary looking black man for a reason? That he fits into tropes ingrained on us as "scary and antagonistic", only to later subvert those tropes by being genuinely caring, only separating a family when he feels he has to, and then helping Lilo keep Stitch at the end and choosing to become part of Nani's support system? That in this movie about a scary misunderstood girl and a scary misunderstood alien finding family together, there might be some subtext in the human antagonist being more than what others perceive him to be?

And that by you looking at him and saying "No way, he doesn't look like a social worker", you might have missed THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GODDAMN MOVIE?

If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

Tbh I consider it a huge plot hole that Edward doesn't spend more lunch hours in the music room than the cafeteria. Especially when he comes back to school after first meeting Bella.

I have Watsonian and Doylist reasoning:

Edward doesn't have to pretend to eat if he's not in the cafeteria, so that's one less annoyance

He gets a little proximity from everyone's minds for an hour, and he gets to angstily pluck away at a piano and hype himself up for spending time with his crush and mentally prepare to not kill her

Imagine Bella walking in on him playing. She'd freeze and mentally lose her shit. She's gawking so hard it takes her 20 whole seconds to realize the music's stopped, and he caught her staring. The tension

When they start dating they get away from private eyes by going off to the music room together and Edward plays piano for her and even teaches her a little

[xostrawberrymlk]

you can’t tell me this isn’t canon, this was 10000% after Jasper almost ate Bella

- he’s brooding in the forest with Edward and Rosalie is glaring at them from her room

- Carlisle is stitching up Bella

& Esme is scrubbing the blood out of the carpet with bleach

- meanwhile Emmett is smoking a cigarette “just for funsies” and Alice decides to join him and they’re both just like “wow… we rly b in situations huh”
