What Killer would you like to see as a "Good Guy"?

Take this as a storytelling/lore side kind of a question: What Killer do you think would turn to be a good guy against other Killers? Like Hillbilly? Do you think he would grow a conscience and start to feel sorry for survivors because of his history? Or would Freddy start to protect the survivors only because killing them would be out of his soul resources?

    We saw in the show that younger Demogorgons can be good boys, so I think Demo has a chance!

    Well, I can see Freddy, Michael and Pyramid Head getting tired of following orders, but the ones who would truly grow a conscience and feel sorry for the survivors are the ones who went through a lot of suffering, such as Hillbilly and Hag.

    Yeah. Actually, those two had a really sad backstory to them.

    I can see Ghostface going against the Entity just for the lulz.

    Spirt and Oni. Family reign supreme

    Wraith and Deathslinger. Wraith killed the last guy who made him unwillingly kill people, and I feel like Deathslinger would feel that the Entity was using him much like the Warden.

    Actually, that would be interesting to see him/her to team up with Ghostface to take on Entity

    Oni kills to regain the honor of his heritage. In his lore he only fought those he deemed to be worthy adversaries. It's a bit uncharacteristic of him to pursue those that are definitively weaker than him. I think he is the most likely to be defiant to the entity.

    Billy seems sympathetic as hell. Only killed the people who hurt him. Plus, he didn't really have any moral agency when it came to animals, hence why he trained them to eat the sheriff's (he had it coming, judging by what he did to him) organs alive. He's also able to talk and is pretty damn smart so I'm sure he'd be able to sympathize with survivors.

    Wraith didn't even do anything wrong tbh, all he did was avenge his family and killed a person who killed countless people.

    And finally, the Blight if it weren't too late for him. He's already a pawn of the Entity at this point, his mind is shattered and corrupted. He tried to save the killers and survivors from the hands of the Entity but failed to do so. Plus he never killed anyone intentionally.

    My theoretical is blight its possible he could slowly build up a tolerance to the substance he is taking and slowly become less unhinged as his tolerance builds, maybe even enough to put his work to good to counteract all the bad he has done

    Oni only hated those that impersonated samurai, he'd probably fancy a stab at the entity and give the honest survivors a break. Deathslinger was smart, could see him aiming his cross hairs at something other than the survivors.

    Wraith, poor man witnessed a genocide and just wanted to get away from it all.

    If anyone were to be reformed, it would definitely be him.

    That's not true at all.

    The Oni's whole deal is that he goes after those who are unworthy (the lore behind his power is literally that the existence of bloodlines he deems to be inferior drives him into a rage) - which was originally just Samurai pretenders but expanded to be anyone who insulted him or got in his way.

    His father tried to dissuade him, but Kazan refused to listen. He treated his opponents with as much disrespect as he could - and didn't care to differentiate between who was a fighter and who wasn't.

    Kazan came from an honorable family line and drove their name into the mud by obsessively trying to prove his own personal greatness and 'restore the Samurai'.

    His was so awful his own father tried to kill him to stop him - but he hesitated to slay his own son. And hesitation is defeat.

    Read his lore here if you don't believe me.

    Probably Blight at some point. Maybe when he either starts to have remorse or is tired of the Entity taking control of everything.

    Id say:

    Huntress- her mother died when she was really young and learning what she could wasn't enough (so what if her mother didn't die)

    Deathslinger- He was conned out of making it big (but revenge the way he got it isn't the way to do it)

    Plus what others have said about: Wraith, Spirit, Oni, Hag... and anyone else I missed (HAHAHA... Sorry)

    Wraith as was said before

    maybe Trapper (he seems to be among the ones being tortured the most by the Entity)

    Nurse (her Mori implies she doesn’t like to kill the survs)

    Pig, she killed only those she thought deserved to die and those were the ones not valuing their life. But the survs actually show that they value it.

    Plague if she just realizes that the Entity is not one of her gods

    Wraith is the only killer I could ever see having the heart to do that

    Ok so let me see

    trapper:maybe maybe not, i think he was tortured by the entity to kill so he may

    hillbilly:might has well but he only protects his territory and kills whoever disrupted him

    wraith:yes he is most likley to oppose other killers

    nurse:i think she would has well,

    michael:he would never, dr.loomis once said, he is evil itself

    plague:she kills because she believes that the entity is its god so maybe not

    spirit:she kills for revenge, but she may turn good

    oni:he only killed becuase he hated the farmers that consider themselves has samurais so maybe

    I'd say plague and spirit are good picks. Wraith and hillbilly might also be good picks.

    None. After you've tortured people you don't know for your own base level issues, there is no "Good Guy". Redemption arc? Eh, maybe. But at some point 'you' still have to come to terms with the suffering 'you've' dolled out up until that point.
