Should comic book villains be redeemed more often?

if someone kills innocent lives they should be killed because they're a psychopath who doesn't have a place in a proper society.

No. You can blame editorial or the hubris of the modern writer or whoever you want, but the modern storytelling zeitgeist is for longform, multi-month stories. We simply don't have people pumping out two to three new characters per issue like we did in the old days, and the new characters we do get are often unsuccessful. There's simply not enough churn going on for good villains to be lost to redemption.

Rule of cool. If they are cool once redeemed they can stay. If it's a lesson about forgiveness or some shit and we're being preached to, miss me with that shit.
