Am I the only one who wouldn't hate a solve-using-the-power-of-friendship ending for TPOT? I feel like as long as One has a change of heart that's reasonably explained then I would die happy
Clearly her motivation stems from her wanting to fix what she did to Three, but it's also twisted by her need for revenge after everything she was put through. But, like, her goal isn't all necessarily bad, at least from her perspective. So I don't think she isn't saveable.
I feel like a lot of the people who don't want this kind of ending are mostly worried for the chance that One has this total flip in her character and gets quickly forgiven without that much reciprocation for her actions. I get that, especially since TPOT has had some troubles with pacing recently, but we know for a fact there's a correct way to do that trope so I feel like we should be willing to give the TPOT writers some slack on this
A solve-using-the-power-of-friendship ending doesn't necessarily mean a sudden, out of the blue switch flip. One fixing getting redeemed and fixing her image, if she does, should/would still be a slow, difficult process, for both her and those around her. Obviously that can't be done in a short amount of time, but I don't see why they can't do a transition from defeating her to setting that up.
Not that they'll do this, I don't know what they're planning for the ending (and I'm probably gonna enjoy it regardless), but I'm a youcanmakeitdifferentyoucanmakeitright truther and I will stand by this
