I think he was genuinely becoming an ok guy but Bonnie's betrayal and the fact that he learned he could take his magical disability, become his own source of power and kill his whole coven was just too much for the remaining psycho part of him to pass up. But then again he didn't need to siphon magic anymore cuz he took Luke and Jo's power so he was a regular witch. So, yeah, I think he would have been fine if they hadn't betrayed him. Your thoughts?
No..... just no. TVD has ruined a number of villains by redeeming them. Kai was the perfect bad guy, just a sociopath doing what he wanted, didn't care about anyone. I would rather him die as a badass sociopath than live as a watered down former villain.
Good person? No. When the merge gave Kai a piece of Luke, Kai felt guilt. How did he respond? By forcing himself into Bonnie's life despite the fact that she obviously wanted nothing to do with him. It wasn't about her, it was about him. He had this guilt, and he needed Bonnie to make it go away. Her desires, her thoughts, her feelings, none of those mattered. All that mattered was making that icky guilt go away. So he manipulated, he blackmailed, he tricked, all to get to Bonnie and get her to forgive him. Her ptsd episodes that he triggered? Those didn't matter, she had to forgive him. Make his guilt go away. Kai was never a good person, he didn't become a good person. And he never would have.
And betray? He tortured Bonnie, he killed Bonnie at one point, then he escaped the prison that he got thrown into by his own people because he butchered his siblings for lolz. Bonnie put him back in prison. There was no betrayal, all he had to do was stay away from her. Let her cope, let her move on, but he couldn't. Because his desire to apologize had nothing to do with making it up to her, and everything to do with trying to make this new annoyance go away.
Saying that it's all Bonnie's fault is nothing short of victim blaming.
