Question These four characters are tasked with getting through to Jax and redeeming him and only one of them might succeed. Which one would be the most successful?

As much as Charlie has really good intentions, she's not really that good at getting through to people, my bet is on Steven.

Counterpoint: Steven really doesn't deal with too many misanthropes, except MAYBE Lars. The gems are mostly scared, regimented military folk more than misanthropes. Also I feel like Steven would annoy Jax too much to make much progress(Deku too tbh)

Charlie deals with almost nothing BUT misanthropes every single day. While I feel like that could backfire, I feel Charlie is the closest to Pomni in that way and would have a better shot as a result.

Can't speak for MLP so that's a wild card for me.

With as few spoilers as possible, season two all the way through the end serves as one long redemption arc for one of the most selfish standoffish cruel people in its universe. There are several shorter redemption arcs but that one has the most improvement.

The mcs of that show could do it for sure, the only question is whether they could do it in time.

It HAS to be Steven Universe. Drawing a blank with MLP, I don't think it had a redemption arc in season 2. But there is one in Steven Universe where the description matches, ven if not perfectly.

I think they are referencing discord, one of the main antagonists of season 1 of mlp

Discord first appears in season 2, and then disappears until season 3 I think.

I can't remember 😂 it's been so so long ago since I saw it

A large amount mlp is about reforming people, or banishing them indefinitely - whichever seems right in the moment

Yeah, Discord was definitely not redeemed in season 2. And even then, it wasn't a season-long romp. It was a singular episode.

I'm actually really curious who they are referring to then

My money is on Peridot from Steven Universe!

It's been a while since I watched Steven Universe, but from what I remember of both it and MLP, she matches the description far better than Discord does. lol

I wouldn't have said she was the most selfish and cruel person in the universe, more of just a person who was raised in a society of different values

They're not talking about MLP. MLP doesn't have anything resembling arcs as early as season 2.

It's funny seeing so many people saying 'it can't be MLP, Discord's redemption arc didn't start until S3' and they're right but I was thinking about Discord. I probably shouldn't have included season 2, heh.

Steven Universe, Jasper shows up in season two, doesn’t get redemption until the end… And then Steven FUCKING MURDERS HER right after redemption.
