REDEMPTION FOR ALL! Bracket

The Earl of Croydon (Bill)

It would be interesting to see, It would be super funny, I want them to suffer through becoming a better person, I think he's hot

Yes, Croydon is an inconsiderate, pompous ass, but he also gets bullied by his fellow aristocrats and tricked by the king of Spain into a plot to murder Queen Elizabeth I, which he ends up taking the fall and losing his head for while everyone else (including the actual instigator!) gets to walk away scotfree. Is that fair?! No! #redemptionforCroydon (Ian should still get to beat him up, tho)

Mary (Sinners)

It would be interesting to see

Milosz Sujelmani (Ace Combat)

It would be super funny, I want them to suffer through becoming a better person

"He was sold by his parents for cheap into becoming a child soldier, of course he'd be mentally a bit cracked, but I think we could have fixed him. Hell, in Infinity, he is implied to work for the good guys again after briefly working for terrorists. God knows how, but that random little lore blurb DOES show that he is redeemable. He just has serious issues and sees his life as only defined by money, hoping to one day earn enough to ""buy back what he lost the day his parents sold him"". MY PRIDE! MY HONOR! MY LIFE! In the japanese version he's also going through motivation decay in the final fight, completely unsure what he would actually do, even if he'd be able to achieve his goal. ...Essentially, dude needs some serious therapy. Maybe also bang Antares over it. "

ink5oul (The Magnus Protocol)

It would be super funny, I want them to suffer through becoming a better person, now i'll level with you here boss. i dont actually technically want them *redeemed*, i just want them stripped of all their power at some point in S3 and instead of dying they just get forced to live as a regular person again. both because of the angst and horror potential and also because it would be really funny

My mom (Real life)

Please

she gave us you

I know this is probably going to get scrapped, however. It would be funny if this option won

Vecna (Stranger Things)

It would be interesting to see, It would be super funny

Claudio (Much Ado About Nothing)

It would be interesting to see, I want them to suffer through becoming a better person

listen claudio is obviously the real villain of the play, but it’s a comedy so he and hero are going to end up together regardless. and if that’s how it’s gonna go, i wanna see that man begging on his fucking knees for her to take him back after the shit he pulled. i want to see him unlearning misogyny and apologizing and becoming a wife guy.

HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey)

Cuz they deserve it! They did nothing wrong in their life ever!!

HAL my friend!! He's literally neurodivergent and a minor!

Michael Distortion (The Magnus Archives)

Cuz they deserve it! They did nothing wrong in their life ever!!

I just know in my heart of hearts that he should have been besties with the archives gang. Okay, sure, he kidnapped two of them for a bit, and tried to kill one of them, and also the last time he worked in the archives didn't end great for him, and he stabbed Jon a bit, and okay yes he does eat people, but. Come on. Please. If not friend, why friend-shaped 🥰

Alastor (Hazbin Hotel)

It would be interesting to see, It would be super funny, I want them to suffer through becoming a better person

The King (In Stars and Time)

It would be super funny, I want him to suffer to be a better person

"Tbh it would just be really funny. Especially if he attempts to return to normal life while still being like 30 ft tall. ""Oooohhh sorry for trying to effectively murder everyone in your entire country I'm learning and changing ooooohhhhh"""

"Hes hot, long haired cutie..."

The Nowhere King (Centaurland)

It would be super funny, I want them to suffer through becoming a better person

Lady Macbeth (Shakespeare)

It would be super funny

Literally no thematic or narrative reason for her to get a redemption arc, no POSSIBILITY for it since the play is a tragedy. Why the hell not? I think it would be extra funny if Macbeth is still dead in this scenario. How the hell would a redemption arc happen. We tie her up and force her to watch carebears until something happens

Millions Knives (Trigun)

It would be interesting to see, I want them to suffer through becoming a better person

Abyssal Dision (Ace Combat)

It would be super funny

Sure, the only reason we exist is to kill him. Sure, he may be a Terrorist. But I still think we should be able to team up against Nemo's incel weirdo father, just because Simon would deserve it.

Hordak (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

I want them to suffer through becoming a better person
