It would have failed by default. Simply because Adam wasn’t he right character to be redeemed in terms of actions, personality etc. If they wanted to redeem him, he should have been a very different character right from the start.

And before you start bitching about how he was changed, remember: Miles, Kerry and Monty came up with this stuff long before volume 1 even aired. Even the fight scene with Adam was once animated by Monty. Adam was always going to follow this path.

Get it through your head, Thunder: Adam is no Zuko. He was never meant to be that, and in the end, he didn’t up like one either. Adam lacks any and all traits for redemption. Redeeming him simply wouldn’t have worked and would have backfired big time.
