Less lethally, a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] may find they've been effectively chained to the role, and no amount of [[Character Development]] or [[The Woobie|viewer sympathy]] can free them. In this case, they at least don't die, but are still doomed to a lifetime of failure and villainy and ''[[Genre Savvy|realize it]]''. Contrast [[Redemption Earns Life]], [[Karma Houdini Warranty]], and [[Redemption Rejection]]. Compare [[Redemption Failure]], where the character actually goes clean for a while but has to revert back to villainy due to unforeseen circumstances. When it's played lethally, this trope can straddle the border of [[Redemption Equals Death]] or [[Death Equals Redemption]], depending on how close to redemption the character comes before they're offed. May be the result of a [[Last Second Chance]] offer that is later taken [[Off the Table]]. |
