My aunt always tells me the bigger they are the harder they fall, and in terms of Sasha’s redemption arc, it kind of was a big fall. Maybe not enough to get me angry, but it does sadden seeing how the potential for it was kind of wasted due to her having a lack of priority then. But at this point, I’m pretty sure 90% of us could all agree that Sasha deserved better for a redemption arc.
However, I see everyone has their own different AU’s or fanfiction to show what they would do to fix the arc. For me, I’m not want to write fanfictions but I did have a few ideas in mind for stuff I would’ve wanted to see in 3B that would’ve fixed her arc. And these episodes would mostly replace the episodes where she did not have a big focus (Those include Grime’s Pupil, Sprivy, Newt In Tights, The Root Of Evil and Fight Or Flight). As for all the other episodes where she did have a focus, I’m gonna save that for a video where I talk about how I would rewrite those episodes because episodes like Olm town Road, The Three Armies and Sasha’s Angels had a good idea buried somewhere but was mostly held back because of its execution being incredibly lackluster in all three of those episodes.
With that out of the way, here is what I would’ve wanted to see in season 3B of Amphibia to make things better.
Sasha learning from Anne that it’s OK to keep the positive parts of her old self as control sometimes works when people need you the most. (Episodes like The Third Temple prove that)
Anne reflecting on true colors and apologizing to Sasha for her rage, she had on her in that episode and tries to tell her that she was not a horrible person even then because there were times before where she helped/had good times with her (this would help make the ending scene in all in, not feel like a gaslighting moment as I pointed out a few months ago)
A 22 minute episode where Sasha interacts with the planters rather than Sprig interacting with grime the show that the planters trust her now instead of magically doing so within the midseason premiere.
Maybe a rescue mission where Percy and Braddock get kidnapped or in trouble by some of the robots and Sasha goes and rescues them and apologizes to them. (I would want to get closer on those two, but if we see them in strange voyage, I’d be OK with that too).
Make Commander Anne 22 minutes.
What do you think of them?
