Which one is better?

A bad good guy, or a good bad guy?

(How do 4 year olds come up with such difficult questions?)

I vote good bad guy...you know, like the thief with a heart of gold...

I vote for a good bad guy. Better to be surprised by goodness found in someone you were suspicious of than it is to be surprised to find bad in someone good and trusted.

a good bad guy cause then he isn't so bad anymore.. like robinhood?? steals from the rich (which is bad) but gives to the poor (which is good)

Isn't that an example of a bad good guy?
I would have to go with a bad good guy. I am thinking the adjective closest to the 'guy' is the thing that most describes him. Does that make sense? And I have no idea how kids think of this stuff.
