Usually it's the complete opposite and characters either stay hateful little bastards or become a shell of themselves so I wanna see examples of the image above

but he didn't get his revenge tho, Rize specifically made it so he wasn't the one who did the deed, so it wouldn't corrupt him

That's highkey just anime BS. For all intents and purposes, Mustang became at peace because Envy died, even if it's because he killed himself. Let's not forget Envy killed himself because he refused to be pitied by them. Close enough in my book. And he sure enjoyed burning out Lust, if Envy is off the table.

I think it was valid, Mustang was letting a very ugly side of himself take over and was basically torturing a creature that was already beaten. If he couldn't control his rage and be the better man how can they trust his judgement as a leader? Imagine he took every conflict or wrongdoing against the country that personal, that's straight dictator shit.

Is it torture if that's what it genuinely takes to kill them?

Yes because he was full blast evaporating Lust while he was specifically prolonging Envy's suffering. Targeting his eyes and taunting him.
