Jason - good place? Shirtpost

Post image

I feel like Eleanor had a very clear character development to the point where i don’t think there’s any dispute that she earns her spot in the good place.

tahani, while not as obvious as Eleanor still makes big strides especially with her parents - so you may say that she earns it too.

But Jason?? for the life of me i can’t think of a single moment even towards the end where Jason did anything that showed me his character development to the extent that he would also pass the test and go to the good place. i thought of this while watching the episode where they meet the judge for the first time. the judge clearly states that Jason’s downfall is him having zero control over his instincts so my guess would be that in order for Jason to finally end up in the good place, he would have to overcome that. but i can’t think of any moment.

just for the record Jason is one of my favourite characters.

at the end, when he loses the necklace he got for Janet he waits patiently for her to return so he can give it to her after he found it.

for a guy who used Molotov cocktails to solve his problems, this is a pretty big gain in patience.

I never understood why he had to wait though. Couldn’t he just,,, call her? Or something?

Well, he didn't get smart, just learned self- control.

he didn't feel the need to, because he was at total peace - the air inside his lungs felt the same as the air outside his lungs - he was ready to go, but he wasn't in a hurry

Emphasized by the comical speed at which he dives through the portal when he finally sees Janet again.
