Should he have been redeemed?

He was GOING to be, had it not been for executive meddling. Writers were forced to scrap the original plans for Jack after execs forced them to keep him as the bumbling comic relief villain. He was supposed to join Omi and the gang as the surprise Xiaolin Dragon of Metal, and I'm assuming would have actually EARNED the respect and admiration he wanted. We really fucking missed out.

Fuck no, in fact the last episode showing that he's a complete sociopath was great, just because a villain is 3 dimensional and goofy does not mean they need to turn into a good person.

who becomes the leader in that scenario? jack and omi become best friends? kimiko and clay become even more irrelevant? what would be the turning point for him?

But why do they constantly hint that he's not fully evil?

Is this a rare case of executive meddling possibly improving a show? Jack being a irredeemable asshole was great, the time travel episode witth the alternative furue were he beat all the other villains was 10/10.

The episode where he tries to become a monk. We find out that the reason he's evil is because he feels small and worthless. He gave up on being good because he was afraid of failing like he failed at being evil. And the first episode with Hannibal bean he's says Jack is only one generation away from good.

There is a lot of villains with the potential to be good and that constantly struggle with it like Sandman(Spider-Man), Mr Freeze, Toyman etc

The redemption isn't important. The journey to reach that point is what would matter.

Even Jermaine would have been a good choice but Ping seriously?

It would have been a interesting parallel to Chase where Chase embraced evil feeling he was inadequate to Guan while Jack would have embraced good feeling inadequate to Chase and other top villains especially since he has the potential to seriously wreck everyone when he is not the butt of the joke like he did in that one timeline.

Eh, I don't think one moment of him being a big bad ass for 15 minutes in a 3-part finale was worth him being a giant non-threatening joke for about 20 episodes.

Never. The best thing you can do with an affable first-season villain is have them on your side against a bigger bad, but still dislike you. There's a thousand more things you can do with that than "we're all friends, yay!"
