I'd like to read or watch one of those stories, just once, so I can decide if I actually like it. Cause it's a cheap way of showing how a character has grown, they started off wanting revenge and now they've transcended that and see how far they've gone on their arc? I liked the bit in Princess Bride so maybe it'd be good in general
Not sure it fully fits the description but there is the classic french novel The Count of Monte Cristo that is known for its Machiavellian vengeance plot. It was adapted to cinema recently, not bad imho

If you like sci-fi read Red Rising.
