    J neuralyzing T is I woud argue LN/TN. T possessed the wrong temperment to be able to operate in the MIB, as shown in how he handled Jeffrey in the subway. He also showed while at the diner that he had too much baggage to be abe to live the secluded lifestyle needed for the agent. While it was against T's wishes, he was also doing in the best interests of both T and the MIB, as shown with how he tried to make sure to include a suggestion in the mind wipe that T work towards starting his own family, as J knew that that's where he would be happiest.

      T is the sort of recruit who shot every single alien during the initial exam J went through, and for some reason nobody saw a problem with it that time.

    In all three movies j's MIB interview is my favorite since you can look back and see it was all a sham
    *J is the only police officer and a room of military guys when MIB is expressly not military
    * J questions assumed rules and turn his environment to his advantage
    * J's a great shot but doesn't shoot just because something looks scary
    * J can make up a lie on the spot and make it sound convincing

    Also, while it's not explicitly stated, the waitress that J set up Kronk with has kids in a scene in MIB 3 and it seems to imply that Kronk and her had a family. I think that it helps show that J has a good read on people and wants what's best for them. The action was LE. It was within J's moral code but J took away part of Kronk's agency without going through the proper channels

    With Agent T, I would say LN edging on LG. My reasoning being T did not show the temperament for the job as he was the cause of Jeffrey's attack. Plus when neurolized, he did try to lead him to a path were he would be happiest.
    Last thing, I would argue just cause you do something to someone they disagree with, doesnt make it evil. If a child doesnt want to eat their veggies but a parent makes them do so, it isnt evil because it is something they need. Agent T may want to be with MIB but his display shows that him being with the MIB would cause more harm than good, including harm to T eventually.

      @@alecLogan Sure, he made a mistake (and it is even implied that he was not very competent / had a very bad luck streak) but there are certainly different ways of dealing with this issue. (Delegating it to the higher-ups, for example).
      T was accepted as an agent, which means that he has qualities as an agent - maybe he was better suited for a different position.
      I personally think that it was very taxing for T to work with J, because, as he expressed, he thaught that any minor slip up would get him neuralized by J. (Which was because of J's reputation)

    A little bit more due process was needed for Agent Krunk’s neuralizing, but it was sacrificing the autonomy of a violent cop to protect the public he should protect from that cops own violent action. I see this as a chaotic good but I’d honestly accept it as a neutral action with all of its ambiguities, harming the autonomy of a person from damaging a society he’s supposed to protect. The genuine risk Agent Krunk was to society in the job does not let me see J’s action as evil in that case.

    I would give a lawful neutral or even good over the T thing. Neuralyzing someone is always arguably evil, but standard procedure for MIB. T was obviously unfit for MIB service, and he couldn't go "home" knowing what he did, so that was going to happen. J made it the least unpleasant that he could and even got him started at building a new and happy life.
