Looks like CN is subtly putting GoT on blast.

None of these are redemption arcs, except maybe lemongrab
the rest behaved the way they did due to magical or demonic influence that changed their behavior, or were changed magically in some way in the case of sweetpea
They didn't work to change their behavior. Fern was influenced by a grass demon finn had to purge, Simon was driven crazy by the ice crown and was turned back to normal in gob's stomach
Betty got driven crazy by magic man's powers and was also turned back to normal in golbs stomach
Magic man was crazy with magic and lost his powers thanks to a botched ritual that finn interrupted
The lich was a genocidal monster that got turned into a sweet baby man thanks to ethereal magical nooch
Lemongrab fucking exploded but he was still more or less the same person after, he just slowly stabilized over time.
Andrew Phillips
Exactly this is the real answer
Anthony Davis
Pretty much. Although I would argue that Fern kinda had a "redemption arc" since the implication is that the demon was an inherent part of him, and that by destroying it he had to die. I don't think that Lemongrab had an arc of any kind; his episodes didn't form any kind of narrative or progression, really.
Not that splitting hairs really matters here. The entire second half of this show was garbage.
Dylan Anderson
Ice king/Simon are different characters, but the redemption arc was only contained in Ice King.
Seriously, watch the whole show, he goes from cold hearted villainy (literally) to being a genuine good person.
Lincoln Martin
he was never a villain, you dolt, that's why he can't have a redemption arc
the whole point of his character is that he was never evil, just lonely, demented and misunderstood
Jaxson Baker
>Fern
Fuck off
>Simon/Ice King
Literally two different characters
>Betty
Crazy ass bitch is crazy, nothing to redeem here.
>Magic Man/King Man
Didn't need redemption dessu, Magic Man was perfect.
>The Lich/Sweet P
...Did he have an arch? It seemed to be more akin to "lolz fug u scary hand that kept me awake at night" than any kind of redemption arc.
>Lemongrab
Again, what redemption arc? Not that he needed one since he was never a villain unless you are a gay ass hippie.
Ryan Campbell
You think Finn held a grudge from essentially cutting him off from Gumpoon?
Grayson Morris
They're just styling on GoT normies for fucking up their redemption arc.
Jayden Williams
Unironically beteewn simon or lemongrab
Ethan Gutierrez
Lemongrab doesn't need redemption, maybe development and progression, but not redemption
Dylan Robinson
Is there unironically a better redemption arc than Zuko's?
David Cooper
Vegeta?
Connor Sanchez
Rigby
Asher Cruz
Jaime Lannister's was pretty solid. In the books.
Dylan Morris
Sweet P isn't really even Lich, though, he's basically just his living prison. Lich even calls him "son".
Ethan Anderson
This might be the closest we’ve been to an actual AT thread in a while
Henry Robinson
Right? And what's crazy is that we're not discussing PB or Marcy
Brandon Kelly
Simon continue to be most boring character in adventure time history.
