Countless debates have been made on whether or not the homeworld gems (Lapis, Jasper, and Peridot) should be redeemed. (Join the crystal gems) I'm kinda indifferent on the subject. It'd be cool to see them swich sides and change things up, but I wouldn't mind them staying villains.
But I'm not here to talk about whether it'd be good or stupid if they'd swich sides. I'm here to talk about the possibility of their redemption.
The thing about SU is that it's all about acceptance, compromise, and forgiveness. There's not a single person that Steven, the main character, genuinly hates. He mostly fears the homeworld gems more than anything else. So it's more than likely he'll try to convince the homeworld gems to leave their evil ways behind. Will this work for all of them? Most likely not. There's obviously going to be a villain (Probably Yellow Diamond, but who knows?) That won't buy in to Steven's words. But I wouldn't be surprised if one or more switches sides because of Steven.
Lapis has a fair chance of going the crystal gems. Granted, she has shown hatred towards them, but has shown compassion for Steven as well. It could go either way, but I'm personally leaning towards her joining the crystal gems.
Peridot has a 50/50 chance if you're asking me. She's definitely no angle, but it's fair to say Steven won't just let the gems kill/bubble her.
Jasper doesn't really have much of a chance for redemption, for obvious reasons. But I wouldn't say it's impossible. We've still got alot of episodes to go through. Will we get more of Jasper's backstory? Will she become more complicated? Only time will tell.
That's my thoughts their redemption. What do you guys think?
