Take Shadow for instants in Sonic Adventure 2. He started out a generic "bad guy", then realised things were not as black and white as the game made out to be, especially when his own purpose in life was questioned. He realised he could be more than just a tool for revenge, his redeption lead to his sacrifice, for the memory of Maria.

Shadow died a heroes death, leaving the audience to lament as the credits roll.

Then he shows up in Sonic Heroes and eventually stars in his own crappy game where everyone thinks he is an emo edgehog with guns and roses.

You either die a hero, or live long enough to become a meme.

If it's any consolation, Sega already dug up his grave to make Chaos Gamma but he only appeared in one game. Personally I really want E-102 γ to stay deceased and remember him fondly from Sonic Adventure, than have him cheat death and who knows what else.
