Talk:The Ending of the End - Part 2/@comment-26423071-20191109171048

I finally figured out why the Legion of Doom weren't redeemed:

the Rainbow of Harmony wouldn't have redeemed them.

The Rainbow of Harmony of Harmony forces you to experience all the pain, physical and mental and emotional, that you have inflicted on others. Which causes you to reform out of sheer guilt.

But in order for that to happen, you need to be able to feel guilt.

Sunset Shimmer, Nightmare Moon, Gloriosa Daisy, Juniper Montage, Vignette Valencia, PostCrush...they felt guilty once they were hit with the Rainbow, and that's why they reformed.

Discord didn't feel guilty for his chaos because he views chaos and necessary, so that's why the Rainbow turned him into stone.

The Dazzlings are too far gone mentally to feel guilt, which is why the Rainbow depowered them and turned them human.

Same thing for Tirek, which is why the Rainbow sent him to Tartarus.

The Legion of Doom are too far gone mentally to feel guilt over their actions.

So, redemption was out of the question, because the Rainbow would have either turned them to stone (which is what ended up happening to them anyway), or it would have sent them back to Tartarus.
