You must have missed out on some of the endings of QT’s films. One common theme in his films is for the characters to find redemption and change their evil ways as best as they can. Remember Jules promising to be “The Good Shepherd” at the end of Pulp and allowing Pumpkin/Honey Bunny to live? Or Beatrix quitting the assassin business and taking her daughter out of that life in order to actually give her a chance at a normal childhood? Just because you are one thing doesn’t mean you can’t ever change who you are.

Yes, they may later decide to redeem themselves, but all his characters in essence are bad guys.

Btw, just to add to the side conversation that seems to have erupted here:
Beatrix in Kill Bill is definitely the heroine if the story, just because of the way it’s presented to us.
While watching the movie, we’re cheering for Beatrix, our thought process isn’t, “well, she deserved it, and I really don’t believe violence is the answer, what she needs is councelling.” Everyone in the theatre wanted to see Uma kick some ass. She was the hero.

Just because we’re cheering for Beatrix doesn’t make her a good-guy. In the same way that us cheering for The Godfather, Scarface or Darth Vader doesn’t make them the good-guys.
I think we are getting things confused. I said there truly aren’t any good guys in his movies, that’s different to there being hero’s in the movie.
