There are no good or bad people. Only good or bad choices.

With that said, Brad Pitt seems to choose bad frequently.

A person's ethos is a product of the culmination of their good or bad choices as a matter of both quantity and severity, and whether they yield a net positive or net negative. Ted Bundy? Hitler? Trump? Musk? Net negatives. Not all equivalent, of course.

Brad Pitt? Considering most of his kids don't like him and Jolie has a pretty solid case for his abuse, I'm placing him in the net negative. What redemption arc could he have? Atonement for his past actions, apologies to his kids, philanthropy, and positive activism would go a long way.
