There are way more complex grey characters who had a much pathetic start with much worse deeds in a show or a movie but evolved to be one of the best evolved characters in any franchise. What people call whitewashing of a grey character is actually gradual evolution of a dark character, something makers are doing fine for Bajaj right now. They aren't turning him saint overnight & it's good that they take time.
Take Snape, he was horrible to Harry throughout 6 books. He murdered Dumbeldore in Book 6. He literally tortured Harry with legilimens in Book 5. He was indirectly responsible for Hedwig being killed & George losing his ear & Moody getting killed since he blew the cover of Harry being taken before his b'day night in Book 7. He made a deal with Narcissa on Bellatrix's manipulation to help Draco kill Dumbeldore in Book 6. Hogwarts students were being tortured in Book 7 right under his nose.
Book 7, right after his death, he gives his memories to Harry & that one chapter turns him into the biggest hero of that franchise. Harry forgave him, considered him the biggest hero he had ever known & named his son after him. Alan Rickman immortalised Snape.
Take Damon, Klaus, Jamie, Theon, Katherine Pierce, Anne Boleyn, Sehmat (Raazi), Katappa (Baahubali) & many more.
Grey characters are all about evolution, character growth. They are all about subjective morality. Ther are called grey because they don't have a straightforward black & white.
