Hi, I was rewatching Future and I still appreciate how good of an episode Growing Pains was. I mean I'm still not a fan of the Diamond arc of Future but otherwise the season still dealt with some really good issues about mental health and dealing with your support network changing (which is kind of topical at the moment).

I don't care for "Growing Pains" only because "Cat Fingers" is one of my favorite episodes and I think it's mean-spirited how "Growing Pains" argues that Steven suffers PTSD from the incident.

"Catfingers wasn't traumatic" is a hell of a take i love it too but that's because I like horror stuff and the way it made my brain pingpong between and was delicious

Catfingers is the episode that made me fall in love with the show, it may still be my favourite ep. It's pretty unambiguously traumatic for Steven in the course of the episode. Just because he was able to compartmentalize it and bounce back pretty quickly, doesn't mean it didn't imprint on his psyche.

He turned into a cat monster, mate. A horrible eldritch beast of chaos. If Steven wasn't traumatized from that, then that wouldn't make sense.

Man, there was once a day when "Cat Fingers" was a minor weird thing.

A void opens on my chest and a wet, deformed cat puppet emerges from it, yowling in agony. My head rips free from my body on dozens of adorable little paws and playfully scampers away to infect a new host.

Amethyst shrunk down to travel-size and Garnet hid her in her robes. Together they conned some magi out of some myrrh and frankincense. And that's why every statue and painting of Mary has shades.

So who's ready for an ice-cold take? Steven is a fusion, and having fusion problems. Not just in Steven Universe Future but a lot of the weirdness that happens to him in the main show. And while there are probably like six characters in the show who might possibly understand this and nobody who actually does, is fortunately going to help him get through it. We saw it in the main series, right? Steven is a fusion of Gem Steven and Meat Steven, though unlike a conventional fusion he can't really come apart of his own volition and he can't really survive apart, either. The intrusive thoughts that can ruin a fusion just kind of mess Steven up, especially if they start spiraling and then he is his monster. One problem is that Gems have it pretty drat easy, all things considered. The essential characteristic of a small-g gem is that it's a repeating pattern, and what we've seen of big-G Gem society definitely plays this out. Gems can just do one thing forever and they're not necessarily going to get bored or tired with it. And a lot of times what Steven has been able to do to Gems is give them new patterns to follow, with a surprisingly small amount of friction. I mean, Future White Diamond has let go of Past White Diamond way the hell more than Meat Steven has let go of Past White Diamond. But who is there who actually knows that this is the nature of Steven? The Diamonds saw, but they don't really understand fusion, and really only White Diamond actually had it all together of anybody who was looking. Garnet might be able to work it out, but the thing with Garnet is that not only is she getting pulled in a ton of directions trying to understand what all this Steven contact, and to a lesser extent human contact, is doing to the repeating patterns that let her predict the future? But the main thing she learned about fusion during the series is that it's okay for any fusion to be apart, which literally can't be applied to Steven at all. So there Meat Steven is, with the intrusive thoughts that are turning him into a monster, having literally no reference for anybody in his life who is having that problem, and there really isn't anyone who can understand him either. Good thing you don't need to understand someone to care for them, isn't it?

Just watched the whole thing in about a week in a half. It was great and i really shouldn't have put watching this off as long as i did just because the fandom was insane. but i don't know what to watch now

That's cool, in that case I suggest the new DuckTales.

Len please watch Fourze. Let me pitch you on it. It's a superhero show with incredible stunt/wirework and an all-time protagonist, Gentaro. When Gentaro transfers to his new high school, he runs into a pretty-boy who rejects a love letter from an admirer and throws the letter into the river. Gentaro jumps into the river, recovers it, and delivers it to the rear end in a top hat's desk in homeroom... and vows to make friends with everyone at AGHS - including Kengo, the smug dick, even if he has to do it out of spite.

I'm sure those are all good suggestions but what you should be watching is Revolutionary Girl Utena, which is free on YouTube legally, and is great, and has massive visual and thematic influence on Steven Universe.

How's Infinity Train? Heard a couple positive things, and the trailer I saw felt like it had a good vibe. As for recco's we gotta mention She-Ra. Presumably you've watched that already, but if you haven't, it's extremely good. It is... made of love, you might say.

But it comes in completed instalments, so there's some kind of closure, even if there's still a lot left open.

Each season reasonably concludes the story that was introduced that season while keeping enough open for another season to tell a new story. I wouldn't call them self-contained, because they build on concepts from previous seasons, but each season has its own overarching theme.

Eh, Korra did something similar but each season felt like a new Scooby Doo villain of the week. I mean not to knock on the endorsement but self-contained seasons have that danger.

ApplesandOranges posted:Eh, Korra did something similar but each season felt like a new Scooby Doo villain of the week. Yeah but none of Infinity Train's seasons are self contained, they just maintain closure. I don't think anyone's argued otherwise tbh. Also Korra? Rocked. The villains were just foils used to illuminate Korra's arc and provide fun fights. Though that's still one up from Scooby Doo villains.
