Borderlands 3 isn't the most beloved entry in the franchise, and there are plenty of reasons why. One of the installment's biggest pitfalls was its antagonists, the Calypso Twins, who were seen by many to be characters trying too hard to be Handsome Jack in their charisma, humor, and needless violence, with cringey dialogue and shallow character arcs to boot. They weren't the only thing that ultimately sank Borderlands 3, however, with another character, in particular, taking home the prize as one of its most controversial characters: Ava. Now, assuming Ava returns in Borderlands 4 (and she is expected to), the upcoming sequel will need to go to the ends of the earth to redeem her character arc.
