Faustus the scum canoe

We talked a lot about the moment when Faustus could no longer redeem himself in the play, and I could be the jerk that says, "Well of course it was as soon as he signed the contract," but I do agree that if that wasn't the point, then I feel like it had to be when he turned from playing silly Pope pranks to just being a bully with no sense of reward.

In the very beginning, when Faustus makes the plan to sell his soul for some lame prize that he doesn't think through, he's visited by his shoulder angels. And every time these characters show up, I can only think of one thing--Kronk from Emperor's New Groove.

While Kronk's situation is a much more light-hearted one, (oh no, I don't want to kill the now-llama Emperor anymore!) I feel like the exchange is fairly similar. I don't believe the angels in either case really help make a decision. Kronk, while he works for the evil, ancient Ezma, he's generally a good guy at heart and I'm sure he would have saved Kusco regardless of whether or not his shoulder angels showed up.
And in the case of Faustus, I'm pretty sure, regardless of the arguments his shoulder angels make, he would have chosen the "path that rocks" (or you know, the path of eternal damnation). And that's not to say that Faustus started off as a bad person so clearly he'd make the bad choice, but I feel like he is also too prideful to turn back on his decision. Especially once he goes so far as signing the contract even though his own blood was trying to stop that from happening.
And so he takes a silly deal where he gets 24-years of cool magic for cool pranks, but he really just becomes a huge jerk at the end. In the beginning his pranks could be seen as fairly good, especially since they were against such nasty people. But then he moves on to pranking these innocent people that have done no wrong towards Faustus nor anyone else. And at the point I feel like he shouldn't have the opportunity to redeem himself. He's had four acts or so to do that, and instead he falls more and more prey to the "evilness" of the Devil.
So sure, Faustus could really redeem himself up until fairly close to the end of the play, but I'm not so sure if he would have taken God up on the offer. He was given the chance so many times and never took it, so his call for redemption when he was literally being dragged into hell seemed like such a pointless cry for help.
It's like the boy who cried wolf, except in this case he put off redemption and put off redemption until the time came where he realised the weight of his decision, but God was so totally over it at the point that he wasn't going to help Faustus.
