I don't believe for a goddamn second that Amethyst went two years without poofing. 1/10, awful movie Ok really, loved it. "No Matter What" and "Independent Together" are ridiculously catchy. Definitely related to Steven acknowledging that his dead mother wasn't exactly the best person, and neither version of Spinel wore out their welcome. Reminded me of an older Disney film a little, too.

It's probably just my personal experience, but I've always found the slow reveal that maybe Rose wasn't such a great person to be the most fascinating arc in the series. Minimal backstory on me: I was shipped off to boarding school when I was 14. My mom died Labor Day weekend my senior year. I didn't really get a lot of time with her during those formative years when I started becoming who I am, and I was also competing against 4 other siblings. So I never really hit that point where you realize that your parent is a person, not some perfect being. And man, when you hit that realization and you can't talk to them about it, it's absolutely crushing. It changes everything. It makes you question everything. I had been told that my personality was a lot like her's, and when the realization hit, I tried to change who I was because I didn't want to be her. It's so much harder to justify someone's actions when they can't give you their side. And it's difficult to not see their actions as objectively "good" or "bad". The shades of gray just vanish. And I really like how they handled it in the series. Pearl feels immense guilt for hiding those secrets, Sapphire and Amethyst feel betrayed but eventually come to terms with it, and Ruby tries to justify it. Steven gets depressed. All very realistic ways to cope. Yes, what she did to Spinel was hosed up. And the fact that not even Pearl knew what Pink did speaks volumes about Pink's character. There's no way she just forgot about Spinel. Either she was so ashamed she couldn't even tell the person who knew her biggest secret, or she was just THAT awful. But the fact that Steven just kinda took that revelation more or less in stride was a subtle, but incredibly strong showing of his development. He's visibly affected and appropriately horrified, but he's not letting it get to him because the big shock hit him long ago.

She would be if she could just turn it off (without flying into a murderous rage). She's genuinely sweet and just wants people to be happy, but that happy-perky and clinginess dialed up to 11 is a hard thing to keep around long term. ...Or I could just be a terrible person. Either/or

I found myself re-watching the expanded intro song video (insomnia sucks rear end), and I remember thinking that Yellow Diamond was gonna be a lot worse than she ended up. I thought for sure she was gonna be the one who shattered Pink Diamond and the final arc was gonna be about saving the other Diamonds from her. I had thrown out my Rose Quartz = Pink Diamond theory earlier.

You know, I think original Spinel would have fit in with the Crystal Gems eventually, had Pink Diamond taken her along. She's clearly capable of moving past that co-dependency and definitely would be a force to be reckoned with. She goes toe-to-toe with Garnet and has a strategic mind. She's definitely open to meeting and knowing people beyond Pink as well. Maybe the mistake was her and Pink being alone.

I just realized what everyone sings about in Happily Ever After is what brings them back to normal. Steven talks about growing and changing, Pearl talks about becoming her own Gem, Garnet even has the word "question" in her verse and the word "answer" prompts her recovery, and Amethyst sings about not knowing anything or anyone at all.

I am a little upset to see this end. I've loved this show since it started. But I'm also glad for the crew. It's rare for something of this magnitude to end on the creator's terms, and the last thing I'd want is for this to turn into the cartoon Supernatural. That said, this is Cartoon Network so make like Spinel and wait for 6000 years to see what happens next

I'd imagine the epilogue would have something to do with how they end up making more gems. Peridot says that Homeworld is running out of resources, and if the Diamonds gave up their colonies that'd definitely stop production.

Bongo Bill posted:They had the ending written early during the production of season 1, and developed a plan to have as many side plots as they could fit in as many seasons as they could get. Those side plots also needed resolution, and that's what Future is for. Apparently Sugar confirmed that Bismuth was the one who poofed Lapis way back when. That's gonna be an awkward conversation.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Sunstone may not have been strictly necessary Excuse me, until I saw Change Your Mind I didn't know I was not supposed to try this at home EDIT: I got the point about Rainbow Quartz 2.0 immediately, the capstone on Pearl and Steven's shared journey. Sunstone I felt was thrown in so Sugar wouldn't be answering the question about what a Steven/Garnet fusion would be for the rest of her life, but I still liked it and thought it was just funny enough to not take away from the seriousness of the episode. I'm always a sucker for a fourth wall joke. That said, I would have vastly preferred episodes focused on those fusions rather than a solid 2 minutes altogether.
