10 'Bad Guy' Movie Characters Who Were Actually Good All Along

10. Bruno - Encanto

Even if you’ve never even watched Encanto before, chances are that you know We Don’t Talk About Bruno. That song was everywhere when the film released, in the same way as Let It Go from a decade earlier, and while certainly ridiculously catchy, it served an important plot point of the story.

It was clear from the very beginning, when Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) ran through the members of her magical family, that Bruno (John Leguizamo) was shunned by everyone, including his own mother, and was no longer living in the house. His power of foresight was not taken to kindly by either his relatives, or those in the village.

Whenever Bruno would give a premonition that foretold of something bad happening, he was then blamed when the bad thing happened; even something like someone going bald or getting fat. It wasn't his fault, but it was more of a shoot the messenger situation. Then, when he had a troubling vision surrounding Mirabel and the miracle, he "left" in order to protect her.

The big twist of the film is that Bruno never actually left. Mirabel found him and brought him back to the family after working together with him to save the miracle that granted the Madrigal family their gifts. Bruno was welcomed back, as he never should have been cast out in the first place.
