>YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER WITH SOME STUPID SONG
>*punches Steven into the Earth*
>*Steven's song then makes everything better*
she made herself better by looking at her current actions, that was the point.
She is literally Charmander.
The song was Damage over Time, she just didn't realize it at first
She was dealt some initial damage during Garnet's song, only partially mitigated because Garnet couldn't help rub in how loved she was which made Spinel angrier.
>Today, right here, right now
>I'll love again
>I've already found someone~
anyone got a link to watch?
And then the movie goes and does the exact thing it was making fun of.
Steg: just listen to me
Just look up "steven universe movie mega link" The youtube vids have the links in the description. mega.nz
Technically no
Talk-no-jutsu didn't actually work
What happened was Spinel let out her rage to the point where she realized how stupid she was to misunderstand Steven in the first place.
>it's a "WE'RE TOOOOOOOOOOTALLY SELF-AWARE YOU GUYS but let's keep on making the same mistakes we call out WE ARE THE SMARTEST AND WITTIEST WRITERS ALIVE" episode
>mistakes
I’m sorry do you want Steven to just cap a bullet into the villain? Singing and talking though the problems is the point and it’d be stupid if they didn’t
Except it did.
Spinell gets redeemed and goes live with the diamonds.
It would have been better if she was shattered and couldn't be reasoned with.
>It would have been better if she was shattered and couldn't be reasoned with.
How? That’s not any more interesting
A pedophile woman wrote it, what did you expect? Something good?
It would have had a lot more impact considering that she was seemingly "redeemed" after getting her memories wiped, but then goes straight back to wanting to kill steven and everyone right after she thinks he was only using her.
It would’ve had a nice shock factor sure but it also wouldn’t make any sense, spinnel isn’t any less of a redeemable character that any of the gems that got turned, and it really doesn’t adhere to the narrative’s themes and message at all, it would’ve been neat but in the grand scheme it would’ve been really sloppy story telling
Considering there were Gems who did worse things for lesser reasons, Spinel should have been redeemed. Would have been better to have her as part of the group, but 'reasons' I guess.

/OURGEM/ theme song
Fucking finally, a Steven Universe character that calls out Stevens bullshit
Here in the garden
We know not what we do
Made to lie in pastures of filth
Left to die, guilty of nothing
If we were promised heaven
Then why are we in hell?
>Would have been better to have her as part of the group, but 'reasons' I guess.
The show doesn't have the budget to keep her on as a regular cast member.
Some of the VA they've kept on is slightly surprising, so there might be more coming.
I would totally fuck her up the ass
I'm hoping for at least one more episode with her playing a semi-significant part. The character is too good to disappear forever.
Let's go in the Garden
You'll find something waiting!
Right there where you left it
Lying Up-side down...
That is the twelve forever creator, user, keep up.
They still fucked it by her turning almost immediately after she said it. Would've worked a lot better if she said this earlier in the movie or during Garnet's song.
But didn't she literally sing when killing the CGs like that
It's pretty hypocritical to be bitching about someone trying to make everything better when it doesn't benefit you.
She wasn't trying to accomplish anything with her song though, she was just having fun while getting her revenge.
>YOU CAN'T SING! I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SING!
Kinda the joking vibe i'm getting here.
append ":orig" when saving twitter pictures

Ok but why though
>Everything is made better with a song
Honestly felt annoyed by that. They make fun of it, but they fucking do it immediately after.
I know it's a big point of the show talk it out/about your feelings, violence won¨t solve conflicts etc. but why have the character point this "criticism" out, if they're not going to do anything remotely different?
b
Autism. Not them, you. The idea that JUST singing was the criticism. Spinel learns to love again from Steven showing her there's more to life and allowing her to love again. Effort is needed to make a change, not just singing a song. It doesn't mean literally just singing is bad.
Doesn't Garnet have a space gem prison in her room where she locks up the bad guys that are too dangerous to be free?

thank you
Bismuth sang surprisingly well.
I'm not going to even hold out hope for a Zone flash. It fits perfectly, but if created it won't be finished for another 5 years.
I rolled my eyes and braced myself when she started singing, but you're right. Her singing was actually decent
>Tonight Gehrman joins the hunt.
I feel like this shouldn't awaken things within me, but it does.
Goddamnit

She was definitely a bit turned on by that.
Maybe a little bit
Steven needed to be a bit more smooth if he wanted a hate fuck thought

tfty
Anyone got a 1080p rip yet?
Yeah basically, kinda wish Spinel had a more tragic ending since it'd be a monster of a power move but whatever, she deserves to be happy despite the shitty writing.
You mean the mindless monsters that they cured and set free in the finale of season 5? Watch the show first.
>the innocent, cheery her...
Give me a sec, user. I need to work out something in my room. Something about "W-what are we going to do in the Palanquin?"
YES
>It's a "Literally every single episode of Phineas & Ferb"
The ending was so poorly written, which is a shame with how fun the movie was up until that point. They just dump Spinel on the Diamonds and have them all feed into each other's Pink Diamond obsession. For a show that likes to go on about healthy relationships and toxic relationships, it sure treats what would be an incredibly toxic relationship as a happy ending.
Unironically thanks, didn't catched that in the 2 times i watched the movie
>Effort is needed to make a change, not just singing a song
Then she makes instant "friends" with the Diamonds by them all singing a song together.
>Squeaky Noises Intensify
It's 1930s slang to go with her animation asthetic, mid-atlantic accent and electro-swing introduction.
Pink Diamond: (Walking out of the Palanqin, Light and easy laughter) We played such a great game, today. Wasn't that fun?
Spinelle: (Less innocent, more uncertain and down, rubbing arm awkwardly) Y-yeah... I think.
>the beginning of the movie is literally 10 minutes of singing "THERE WAS A TIME-SKIP AND THERE'S NO CONFLICT GOING ON, I SURE HOPE NOTHING BAD HAPPENS."
It's so on the nose it's practically self-parody.
Did anyone else think "gum gum elephant gun!" when she hit steven?
I think when you keep doing the same stupid thing over and over and openly use it the way it would be used if you weren't doing "satire", it stops being self-aware.
>"I think I'm going to have to work on friendship"
>Literally get adopted on the spot by three space moms
What the fuck
And she can funk it up a bit. Wish Steg did the same, and maybe they make the guitar solo a bit louder and distorted.
Both Steven yelling at Spinel and Spinel punching Steven were quite satisfying. How odd.
Is it just me or it's the fact steven really didn't want the diamonds and spinel to be there because of the fact he finds them annoying, making steven kinda look at like douche.
What, you expected Sugar to actually put effort into a characters redemption?
Spinel being adopted by the Diamonds is just bad writing. Oh sure, for Sugar it is a "happy end" but this is such surface level happy end shit, even the writing of the movie subconsciously seems to recognize it.
Spinel went through emotional shit. The entire movie was essentially her going on a suicidal killing spree, trying to get everyone Rose cared for destroyed or reseted before accepting the possibility of "dying" herself (the reseted part) and when she starts to see perhaps someone who really cares for her (steven) giving her hope again, she loses it when Steven -thanks to bad communication- makes it look like he was only using her to shut down the giant space phage.
The entire final battle was just her having a mental breakdown and wanting to see the world burn and when she finally snaps out of it, she is at a moment where she realizes she needs to change and goes through "my god, what have I done."
At this point, a good writer would write an ending open enough to indicate she needs to go through her own journey, trying to come to terms with her past and feelings of abandonment while finding out who she is without Pink.
But no. instead she gets adopted by the other Diamonds and "reverts" essentially back to her infant personality that was so easily abused before. Indicating that if anything goes wrong in the relationship with the diamonds, she may snap again.
And the diamonds? Aside of the fact they have not changed at all morally and ethically(they are still space fascists, they just dismantle the empire and "changed" because they think that will somehow make Steven like her, on whom they have projected their unhealthy feelings for Pink) they seem to see Spinel just as a "lost rreasure". An object, not a being with actual feelings. For them Spinel is now just an adorable pet they use as replacement for Steven, that is all.
youtube.com
Why did her entire body position change at the end of the song? And why were the Crystal Gems suddenly facing the wrong way?
in short:
Any growth Spinel may have gone through in the movie emotionally is back to sqaure one because she will be the toy monkey again in the long run, the Diamonds are just evil but now have something to project the few positive emotions they have on (a replacement drug so to speak) and Sugar has no idea how griving works, making me want to just give her a puppy the moment her mother dies and tell her "there, now you have a replacement for your mom to prject your love on, get over it and go back to work. We want season 6 out before 2022"
I was almost expecting them to go for a tragic end for Spinel but I realized that'd be kind of fucked up when they forgave and made friends with the space dictators that killed millions on other planets.
First thing a lot of people were reminded of when they saw Spinel fight, twintails girl fighting with a scythe in a crazy cartoony fashion.
You know what I find hilarious?
>Pink kills millions in a staged war so she can fuck off and do it with some humans
>The fandom: Tries to say she did what she had to do and that there is tragedy
>Pink leaves essentially her sentient Build a Bear behind
>Everyone wants to rape that bitch with a rejuvinator
million is just a statistic, right?
With English like that it's hardly surprising
People usually feels less invested when a fictionial villain does grandscale terrorism or mass murder because it feels less personal than something awful happening to the main characters specifically. A good exemple of this is Voldemort and Dolores Umbridge, no one really hates Voldemort particularly, he's just the endgame boss to defeat, while people hate Dolores with a passion because she acts like a complete cunt to Harry, even though she does things that are less horrible than Voldemort.
mods not allowing /sug/ means this is an inevitability
It's perfect for a musical. Remember Morning in Ponyville?
>Millions of lesbo rocks die so Humanity may rise up
Totally justified and we honor their sacrifice by continuing to be awesome.
>Is mean to a cute cartoon girl who would easily and happily have gone to earth and had fun
We appreciate you bringing your lesbo rocks to the slaughter so we humans could eventually rise up but now we need you to leave.
we do not talk about this shitstain.
Eh it's just because the movie is fresh, in a week max no one will talk about SU anymore
>I SEE HOW IT IS, FORGET ABOUT YOUR GOOD BUDDY SPINEL BECAUSE SHE'S NOT AS POPULAR AS YOUR ***COOL*** NEW FRIENDS!
Humanity rise up?
I assume that the freaking gem race has stagnated humanity in its development.
Or has anyone ever seen a military in this world?
Rockets?
Space travel?
And lets not forget that Rose seemingly saw in humans nothing more than just a curiosity and pets (she had a human zoo and the way Rose treated Greg till he told her to treat him like a person) while Pearl has the infamous "Humans live short, boring insignificant lives" line.
A line that is so fucking bad once you realize that as "boring and short" as a human life is, it is more menaingful than the life of Pearl probably ever was.
Because at the end of the day, Pearl is a house nigga on default mode who only started to change by the time her mistress was dead.
What are you afraid of?
It was bad. the season 3 finale of MLP was just a bad episode. Bad pacing, bad songs, out of nowhere alicorn transformation.
If the show had not been as popular as it turned out to be in early 2011, this episode would ahve been not just the seaosn, but the series finale.
Both
Oh god yeah, her stretching there goes beyond toon logic, it's nonsense.
HOLY SHIT, DEEPEST LORE
It was just muh comfy people being mad about wings
I am glad that someone else thought of/remembered this.
>You know, I came here looking to take my anger out on a bunch of strangers; but now that I know you I just want to kill you even more.
Fucking savage. The VA for Spinel nailed the dialogue.
>YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE EVRYTHING BETTER WITH SOME STUPID SONG
No but you can make it better by fucking.
F
that fucking growl embedded in " I just wanna kill you even more" was fucking gnarly.
would you give her the attention she needs Yea Forums?
So the world's dead, right? Like Earth is actually going to die now, because they made it very painfully clear that when that thing pumped all of its poison into the earth it would kill all organic life on the planet, their words not mine. It did that, it pumped every drop with drillfuckery. Its literally all in the planet in oozing rivers that split the ground in half, meaning its now seeped into the very core of the planet and soon will kill everything. Steven can kiss some stuff better but it would literally be impossible to kiss a surface area the size of one continent, lets say North America just for scales sake, in the span of 1000 years, by that time everything will have died and rotted, and this isn't even Asia. And even if he did, it wouldn't help with the chasms that are seeping it hundreds of feet into the ground on any given street.
She won and killed everybody, right? They wouldn't literally spell out the lose scenario, have it happen, and then pretend it just plain didn't happen at all, right? The writers wouldn't introduce a world ending threat and just pretend it didn't matter... right?
yes, he's just like his mom. he used Spinel to stop the injector and then ignored her. he used the Diamonds to cure the corrupted gems and then never bothered to spend time with them despite knowing how much they loved and miss Pink. unless you're a Crystal Gem or Connie, Steven is a real piece of shit
probably not since she's gonna outlive all of us
>strawmanning critics as psycho child-killers
You stay classy, SU.
Not if you die and Steven resurrects you. Lion is apparently several hundred years old so if you get Steven'd you could live as long as a gem probably.
Side note: Is Lars immortal now? That's gonna suck when he outlives all his human friends and the rest of humanity.
sure she her fun times wont be for very long with a human, but she could appreciate that someone loved her throughout their whole lifespan.
It's lovely to see some request I drew from a different thread pop up in another one
It just had a big movie come out which served as a timeskip finale, of course people are going to want to discuss it for a while.
He's immortal and has weird space lasers. It's a shame he can't grow his hair out; it's probably super annoying to have Steven crawling in and out of that little tuft he kept.
I didn't really see it as reverting, it's more of a take 2. I really felt he emphasis on both of them saying "You're not Pink, but you remind me of her so much.".
Se understands the suffering she felt by being abandoned, and now has some kindred spirits who likewise feel the same about Pink so she can get her redo at the similar relationship but much wiser.
>what is The Cluster
But seriously, best two excuses I can come up with:
1. Spinel's rushed injection (after initially halting it) sacrifices effective spread/range for localized intensity
2. Peridot worded it poorly; all life doesn't immediately drop dead in 41 hours, it just reaches a point where the chain-reaction of ecological collapse becomes impossible to prevent.
I'm not going to lie, I absolutely loved the moment Steven yelled "It's not a game!" and immediately got clocked in the face.
There's very few Steven x Spinel art pics so I have to use what I got. Which is like two or three pics. Of OC that is, there's plenty of screenshots I can use but not a lot of OC.
It was pretty based
>that audible crack
>And then she smiled, that's what I'm after
>The smile in her eyes, the sound of her laughter
The raw need expressed in a few lines just cuts to the bone. Spinel didn't deserve this.
Feels good to know there are still sanity not included bros out there
mega link on sugrox died - anyone got a replacement?
you got this?
Movie just came out, suck it up
right as the movie comes out, what a coincidence haha
The cluster wouldn't help anything, it doesn't have that sort of power thats ever been shown. It could maybe have ripped the thing out while it was mid injection, but it can't lift all the bad shit out.
Actually why didn't it just rip the thing out and chuck it into space that seems like it would be super easy.
>
1. Spinel's rushed injection (after initially halting it) sacrifices effective spread/range for localized intensity
Okay you know what else got sacrificed? The ocean. Doing this next to the water was not a smart idea.
>t just reaches a point where the chain-reaction of ecological collapse becomes impossible to prevent.
And they're still in that situation because they have no way to get rid of those giant chunks next to the road, or the ocean.
Damn, I can't believe Sugar ended it with Spinel killing everyone on the planet. Hardcore madam.
>Actually why didn't it just rip the thing out and chuck it into space that seems like it would be super easy.
You know who else could have ripped it out? One of the diamonds. Any one of them. Blue could handle this so long as she didn't stub her toe or something. Maybe they could even have told Steven why Spinel was 200000% angry. Oh! And given a solution on how to reverse the decaying, maybe some way to neutralize the entirety of it with a tri-beam of friendship instead of hate? Or even just undo the factory reset, I mean one of them had to have made it right, so they would know everything about it. Yep, could have solved pretty much everything in the span of, I dunno, however long it takes to set up a concert? Just spitballing. But nahhhh, Steven doesn't want to hang out with them, they're clingy!
Guys I don't think the writing for the movie was very good.
My theory is that the writing is bad because it wasn't actually planned out as one story, it's just Mommy Sugar throwing a bunch of ideas she couldn't fit into the show in a pot and trying to make the best narrative out of it that she could, which is why it has so many holes and alot of the plot beats are kind of janky
It may also be a Quality over thought kind of thing because everything about the movie is well done aside from the story
Everyone is calling Spinel's Giant Fist Attack King Kong Gun when it's obviously Giant Pistol.
Funny enough Stevens Bubbled fists are essentially armament Haki
I'd like to see what old cartoons each of her dances are referencing.
Where the hell did she even get an Injector?
Clearly Pink had one lying around on her garden just in case she wanted to destroy all organic life on it, and she had the scythe in case she wanted to reset Spinel for no reason. Thank god she had both of those and explained to the court jester stuck on a floating rock nobody remembers how to use them exactly, if Spinel didn't know blowing a horn controlled this planet destroying superweapon that Yellow forgot about when she was ordering the planet destroyed, and god help her if Pink hadn't explained that nifty reset scythe that even White forgot all about! I mean for all intents and purposes should have restored Pink, or at least her form if its light-cycle at the very least, back when an autistic pink thing was screaming at her, that was a pretty big misstep on white's part. We're lucky because else then Spinel would have spent more than a day past Steven's message before she arrived on earth! Then we would be past the song about happy endings and that's just not thematically sound!
Yeah the whole plot is slapped together nonsense to facilitate a couple neat songs and have a new quirky villain, just enjoy the ride and forget about it when you get off.
That's a good question
Yes, having plant poison around your garden is absolutely unheard of, it's not like there's armories upon armories of weapons left over as well.
I think the idea is that because she's in a different part of space than earth that means time was different for her, she probably spent a while getting everything and replaying the message over and over
>Yes, having plant poison around your garden is absolutely unheard of,
Seriously, who doesn't keep enough poison to wipe out an entire planet via giant fuckoff drill next to their tomatoes? I mean they don't call it overkill because we're done.
>it's not like there's armories upon armories of weapons left over as well.
I hadn't thought of that, what a wonderful caretaker Pink was, telling her where the planetkillers were stored and what helpful gems they were telling her how to operate them, that scythe sure does come in handy. I mean they explained everything about it in a flash too! Talk about A+ worldkillers who never got the memo not to destroy worlds that literally just got broadcast to every single installation, even ones they forgot they had!
Seriously this entire plot is just to facilitate the songs, you are not supposed to think anything when you watch it. Turn your brain off and enjoy your colorful junkfood.
>Lets see you grit those teeth
Honestly there was probably an offscreen montage of Spinel looking for murder weapons to use on Steven and The Earth
>Pink Diamonds secret stash of homeworld "toys" and other contraband so destructive they'd glass the entire Galaxy if used
>Nah, too easy
>A bunch of Blue Diamond Magical Artifacts that will obviously monkey's paw the user
>Too Mystical
>Cache of Experimental Yellow Diamond Weapons
>Too Impersonal
>Gem Army Surplus, introduced by Steven to reuse or retrofit weapons and colonization tech for more humanitarian efforts
>Scrap Pile with a FUCKHUEG injector
>Rack of Discontinued Rejuvinators
>Free Bio Poison that's used for extra strength weed killer for hyper carnivorous alien plants
>Gems have no concept of money so everything is free
>Perfect
Also her asking for directions to earth and possibly needing to ask several people on the east coast if they're Steven Universe.
But Spinel was still waiting in the garden until Steven sent out his message, which was less than a day before she touched down on Earth.
Her transformation was really quick too.
No it's not. It's part of the setup. It's like asking where Steven got his jacket. It's irrelevant.
I kinda favor her being like a boogeyman to other gems.
>Spinel raids an old Colony Depot, found through the ancient records in the interface console on Rose's Garden planetoid.
>Option A: World is a husk and has been abandoned (like the site on Earth), but since the Gems don't really care about environmental cleanup they just pack up their personnel and move on, leaving the gear behind.
>Option B: Spinel invades an active Colony Depot, basically goes full guerilla clown in order to steal the tools for her revenge
I feel like there was probably supposed to be some time passed between his message and her attack, like a few days or a week, considering how she mentions she’s been hearing his message on repeat.
That might work if we hadn't followed his perspective from the moment they cut the feed to the moment she arrived, we saw it literally wasn't even a day.
Exactly, don't think about the plot. Just roll with it and listen to the songs, then don't think about the plot after.
Getting the drill is before and outside the plot.
If she's a pedophile, then why did Pink made the right decision to never want to molest a retarded incel little girl and leave her behind to never be tempted to defile her from homolust?
During and a direct impact, actually. Even better, we got a nifty little song flashback to her discovery and leaving for Earth, so it easily could have been resolved without ever leaving Steven's POV. But that's okay, don't think about those kinds of questions, its not important because the plot isn't important, things just happen because they happen and roll with it, and then it's over and you don't have to ask about that world anymore. No need to think about the plot, no need to wonder about the events, the songs were there, the characters were there, and now its over.
Have fun.
I wonder if Spinel was programmed to have that weapon as a last ditch defense for Pink. Iirc Pearls are the only thing that can keep things in storage.
>alcohol ananonyous groups are toxic
Okay
That seems like an odd choice considering they have disruption rods that would be more effective against Gems than resetting them, and I don't think they need the whole drill if they're defending from organics. Maybe a super soaker would do the trick. Like why you gotta have a giant worldkilling drill to defend the diamond. What's it up against, rogue planets?
Scythe for close range, injector for fuck-off range.
Seems a good selection in a 'gem' sort of way.
I meant the scythe. Pretty sure she just robbed that drill from an old colony that wasn’t using it anymore.
Okay but why the scythe instead of disruption zappies? There's already an anti-gem weapon and it works on pretty much anything up to Fusions, it has better range and its way easier to use because you don't have to cut things with it, just touching works.
So Amethyst learned everything from Rose when she was found by her the first time. That would explain why she took to human habits so quickly.
Will we ever see her again?
Pink wanted her to have an edgy weapon for cool points.
So Gran Turismo 2.
Anyone else like how the Diamonds were leaning on each other like siblings when singing to Steven? Nice change of relationship from what we saw in their last episode.
Probably not, unless you count cameos. At most probably a background role with no lines. I would be very surprised and impressed if they brought her voice actor onto the show for even one or two episodes. I'd rather not get my hopes up though.
Her VA isn’t that big of a name. If they can consistently get Patti LuPone they can get her.
reminds me of Joker staring at the gorilla
This though I would very much love more Spinel. She just has so much potential for shenanigans around town
That's not what that relationship is though, it's more like crackheads getting together about how much they love crack, with one of those crackheads just trying to escape the addiction but getting sucked back in by the group.
I'm honestly surprised anybody got that reference.
Not surprising after hearing her voice actor sing in the last season of Orange is the New Black.
> Stevens Bubbled fists are essentially armament Haki
Boy, Bartolomeo exists.
Yet another thing Rebecca stole from anime.
I'm hoping she actually learned everything from animals and humans. So she has a developed but almost feral personality by the time Rose and the others find her.
It's also still a show aimed at 8-14 year olds. The writing's great, with that consideration.
Yeah that doesn't work, dumb is dumb even if its for 8 year olds. Really you should try not to be dumb for those guys, they're still developing.
Fun but Inconsequential is what they called it.
cute
Holy shit.
uh, why do the words "Vulgar Display Of Power" come to mind when I see that still?
Because
we will see her again in the same way Lars was in this movie.
We just have to endure brother. Sooner or later SUfags will stop making threads about their one idea that could've fit in any of the other threads.
Can't really blame sugar though, the VA was amazing but really expensive and CN will probably give season 6 a ten dollar budget
I feel bad for her, she never really gets to bounce back to her happily ever after like Steven does. I wish we could have seen what her life is like with the 3 Diamonds after the credits or something.
As it stands the ending is so bleak and depressing it's hard to stand on it's own.
There's always next season.
Still, even if she has a place she belongs now, I'm not sure the relationship she and the Diamonds just developed is a particularly healthy one.
I relate to Garnet's "yall are fucked up" face she had going on during that whole scene.
>almost fucking killed him by dropping him off the injector
>not even 3 minutes later he's helping her get her life back on track
Steven is way too forgiving sometimes.
Steven is the best boy and should remain single for the rest of his life because no one deserves him
Sucrose's favorite anime is One Piss.
at least we're not as bad as the faggots that keep making the invader zim threads though. those retards are pretty obnoxious.
steven is supposed to be gem jesus, no joke i remember sugar saying he's a jesus figure once.
> happily wondering

> is this how it works?

If you don't feel these lines you're not a human. You would have to be a corpse.
But even a corpse would probably feel these lines

>tfw she would have thought it was all a game and as long as Pink was laughing it'd be alright
>tfw she could have matured into a foil for Pearl's overprotective mothering and Amethyst's childishness by being the "fun mom"
We were fucking robbed by Pink, I'm calling the police.
>you gonna leave me somewhere? YOU GONNA LEAVE ME ALONE?
i felt that
Connie is gonie.
>Rose told Spinel she was playing a new game called "having Steven."
>Told Spinel she had to help Greg and the gems take care of Rose while she played "Steven"
>Eventually breaks down realizing that Rose actually died.
>Still tries to make Steven laugh, hoping that Rose is in there laughing too
>"You even laugh like her."
It looks cool shut up
No but really, it's probably one of those animation "cheats" that isn't realistically correct but keeps the flow of the animation.
At worst, it's an actual mistake but hey, could be worse
holy fuck
pink diamond is such an asshole of a person
i never seen someone such self rigtheous and with total disregard for emotional collateral damage since the emperor on mankind in 40k,and at least him had the ecuse of having a survival war and figthing chaos
Not only that
>What am I doing?
>Why do I wanna hurt you so bad?
>I'm supposed to be your friend... I just want to be your friend...
Spinel is a gem at war with herself. She's actively denying her jester programming of being always happy/loyal to her owner because of how badly she was hurt by Pink leaving her to rot in the Garden. And to compound it, the fresh perceived betrayal of Steven with the Rejuvinator and how he only seems to really care about his other friends and himself instead of trying to save her as hard as he tried to save them.
And yet, despite all that, she still feels the pull of her programming to laugh unquestioningly and love unconditionally. We're reaching ShindoL levels of mindbreak.
She's not see righteous though. She's flawed in a lot of ways, but she doesn't put herself on a pedestal.
It's supposed to be an allegory for how suicidal people never really know the impact their deaths will have on their loved ones and those around them, as well as the fallout of how those left behind deal with that death.
I don’t think that’s true but it’s a really neat idea
But none of those things were supposed to be his deal, he had to use talkfu to save his life and minorities(defective gems) and he did, and yeah he probably emotionally manipulated everyone, but its just what he had to do
Unlike rose, he saved everyone, and almost no one died on his wake. he has earned a rest. He shouldnt have to deal with his mother shit anymore.
I don’t think he stopped caring about spinel but the end of the world and life and his friend seem urgent enough that he would switch focus really fast, he’d a dick if he didn’t do that
And the diamonds are genocidal narcissists, Stevens allowed to not like them
at least untill she mets greg pink diamons was literally dragging everyone down with her,abandoning them and then running away from the disasters she made while keeping
>''im such a lovely person''
facade
holy fuck,between her and GEOM i want to bang my head against a wall
i dont think thaat was the intention,but its great interpretation
good work user
i mean there is so much shit you can deal with,isnt your responsability to be the emotional sponge of everyone,steven went and saved everyone he could
now he deserves a chance to have its own life independent of the fucks ups of rose
Reminder that dante ranked betrayal as the worst sin of them all for a reason. It can be completely shattering to have earnest faith broken for daring to believe in something, to a point where the person might not ever fully recover. He viewed it as more toxic and poisonous to society than the crime of impersonal murders because of betrayal's corrupting nature
it's pretty evident the crewniverse tried their absolute hardest at making rose/PD look sympathetic but failed in every way. judging from the movie seems like they realized, stopped trying to fight it and are now like "yeah she was a massive cunt". i for one welcome this. now only retarded teenage girls try to defend her because they see themselves in this inconsiderate self-centered brat that fucked with everyone's lives and got away with it.
i loved when steven said
''i cant believe my mom did this to you....actually...i can totally believe it''
i imagine it's the same face you would make if you told someone you couldn't read/write, despite being in a 99.999% literate country.
her recoiling from a redemption is probably worse on an psychological level. if the injector didn't explode immediately, it would've absolutely been a point to have a moment like:
> Injector's gem is pulsing faster and flashing/cracking
> Steven: "oh no, the injector is exploding! Spinel, take my hand!"
> Spinel: "No i don't deserve it"
Having Spinel make the sacrifice play and end up shattering herself to contain the explosion (possibly using stretchy powers to cover up the injector before detonation) would have both broken Steven and been an equally good if not better end for her than becoming a plaything of the Diamonds. Then again the ending would have been a lot more bleak if that had occurred.
Would Spinel be an even more tragic villain if they went the "heroic sacrifice" route?
Unironically my favourite song in the movie. Just above every rendition of Here We Are In The Future and subsequently, Beta Squad's "We Are The Crystal Gems."
Yes and she will still be happy
She didn't even have a grudge specifically against Steven and co. since she mentioned she was only taking her anger out on a couple of strangers.
Up until the concert, she was having a good time hanging out with Steven and the other gems, but once she got her memories back and the abandonment issues returned, she tried to atleast make things right by turning off the Injector.
Seeing Steven spill his spaghetti during the Rejuvenator scene was painful because she thought she was gonna be left all alone again and snapped.
>Spinel took Garnet hostage and was egging Steven on because she was actually hoping to be scythed into oblivion
>anything to not go through that pain of betrayal and the internal war between her desire to be happy and loyal and her abandonment issues.
Fuck, this movie was better than the Lion King and I watched both side by side while crying my eyes out.
Yes, he just had to say 'No, you're our friend' or something similar rather than 'well, yes, I only wanted my own poison machine'. Steven effectively dropped the ball so there could be a final fight/etc.
She was a tickling time bomb which makes her previous "redemption" more believable. People do not overcome anxiety and betrayal they just learn to manage it. I expect the Diamonds to still make horrible totalitarian decisions every now and then.
>I expect the Diamonds to still make horrible totalitarian decisions every now and then.
They already did so in order to try to bait Steven into loving them.
>Yellow dissolved her armies and abandoned her colonies, meaning thousands (if not millions) of Homeworld Gems have lost their purpose in life
>Blue stopped poofing gems and handling her very real job of controlling the emotions of Gems so they won't go batshit
>White stopped controlling other gems altogether, meaning there's no safety net of control to fall back on when the system starts to collapse
>Rose told Spinel she was playing a new game called "having Steven."
This would actually, arguably, be more evil than abandonment in a garden for 6000 years.
"I'm going to intentionally kill myself and i'm going to tell you this lie that everything will be fine, to your face, day after day. Then watch you remain ignorant all those days, with no intent to tell you of my own intention until it finally happens and there's no going back."
But with abandonment, Pink could've taken the Diamond Legs ship to the garden and recovered Spinel at any point in those 6000 years, in spite of the risk of being discovered post-rebellion.
>would have been a lot more bleak if that had occurred.
The diamonds arrive not even 5 minutes later. Imagine their reaction on seeing fragments of Spinel's gem and Steven weeping his fucking eyes out over the last 48 hours.
> Your passive aggressive kinda-racist Grandma and your two wine Aunts find out your dead rebel leader Mother's lost treasure playmate is now truely lost
> Because you fucked up a judgement call and didn't get their help immediately
Yes, more tragic... But it's a bit of a "Wait, what, Why?" There's not really any rational way for Spinel to save steven in a heroic sacrifice once he has his powers back.
Libertarian societies don't work, I agree. But I feel they are still in charge just have given more freedom to their gems which of course will translate to more crime and messiness.
>steven created space somalia by trying to do the rigth thing
Even he's done with her bullshit
I like that she still has the crazy Spinel design at the end, because she's still basically gone crazy and could be set off again.
I honestly think that Steven in this movie shows a more selfish side to him, not only did he admits it to her and fucking up but he does it again by not returning after he told her he'll be right back.
I'm thinking that all of this is actually a hidden sign - a sign that he might slowly become the one whom he was fighting all his time, pink diamond herself.
>it's pretty evident the crewniverse tried their absolute hardest at making rose/PD look sympathetic but failed in every way.
Have you paid attention at all? Rose/PD has always been displayed as a flawed character in every way.
But he did come back to her? When the Diamonds arrived.
He is just older so his flaws come out less as a child messing up but more as a selfish teenager. He was always a bit selfish. You can see it when he is protesting everything going wrong with HIM, HIS perfect day and how a stranger is trying to kill HIM. He only mentions the world after that.
>kinda wish Spinel had a more tragic ending since it'd be a monster of a power move
That would require Sugar to have a backbone.
you realize they weren't saying that that was wrong, right? Spinel was the bad guy, she had issues and she was taking them out on other people for reasons she herself didn't fully understand.
I did not like the movie, it was lame.
Wow, big news. Stop the presses...
he took long enough to the point that spinel was leaving
She finally learned pink is full of bullshit, good.
Spinel should've gotten a hug.
OHH THAT'S RIGHT I'VE HEARD THE STORY
OVER AND OVER AGAIN
>A person who was hurt by loss joins a support group of people that went through the same thing
>"Wow that's stupid, what bad writing"
I wish you shut-ins would stop talking.
So some facts I've compiled from the threads that all patricians with good taste unanimously agree on:
>Spinel is best qt
>Spinel is best gem
>Spinel is best character in Steven Universe
>Spinel is best friend of Steven
>Spinel is best romantic partner for Steven
>Spinel is best lewd partner for Steven
I wonder what evil deed of Pink Diamond Steven is going to have to deal with the consequences of next season.
I'd just get fed up with all the bullshit and leave town.
lets take a shot everytime the emperor of mankind and rose quartz have been horrible parents and beings against other people
>dies from alcohol intoxication
she left Steven
You'd have to be a fool to deny any of this.
SU should have been a harem show, Connie was a mistake
steven didn't even hug spinel in the end
Guys, we are missing the most important question.
>what did they mean by this?
>Didn't even hug Spinel
I'M STILL FUCKING MAD, YOU INCONSIDERATE PRICK! HUG THE CUTE JESTER! COMFORT HER MORE THAN HOLDING HER HAND ONE FUCKING TIME! THIS IS WHY SHE THOUGHT YOU BETRAYED HER! BECAUSE YOU DID! FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!
That there's a dark hollow center in Rose's heart?
>Why yes, I do think Spinel was absolutely kino and objectively the best part of the movie, how did you know?
And he should make up for it by loving he unconditionally
Kek. Fucking love this meme and a Steg version is even better.
*her
phooey
he literally half-way admitted into manipulating her, steven was quite cold towards her at times
based
Spinel was made just to hurt me, how did they know about all my childhood trauma?
>re-watching Found
>Steven barely able to give her a concrete solution, saying "you just need to find someone" and gesturing to the outside world
>letting go of Spinel's hand in the process
>Spinel only able to see Steven and still chasing after someone
I don't know if I have a point, shit's just sad.
I know this feel, I had problems making friends as a kid it wasn't bad enough that other kids would outright tell me to fuck off but rather silently excluded me from everything
>"I'm supposed to be a friend. I just want to be a friend"
FUCK
So this means Steven fucked his dad right?
>Best Friend just dropped me out of nowhere after he slowly stopped talking to me
>Can't stop thinking about what I might've done wrong to push him away
>Spinel suddenly shows up mirroring how I felt to a T
Why must Sugar hurt us like this, bros?
I fucking love the animation when they're singing Found. I feel like the animators did a very good job depicting the failure in communication between the shared lyrics and the difference in body language.
>Spinel thinks that steven is opening his arms up to present himself as the special person who will save her
>Steven thinks that by opening up his arms he's gesturing at the universe and giving her hope by telling her to look for someone
>Her skittish movements and hesitant but hopeful gestures throughout the song.
Fuck it feels too good and it hurts to see her get crushed.
Where did you get that picture of Billie Eilish?
cute
Her gingerly stepping down the stairs in Steven's house, self-conscious about her appearance and hiding behind him when the CGs draw their weapons, shit was adorable.
>mfw Steven fucked it all up by instantly turning his back on her
AHN~
>alone and left behind
>living the illusion of a life
user what the fug, i didn't pick up on this but you're absolutely right, the way shes focused on him during this whole sequence, she even runs after him when she lags behind. oh this hurts
>TFW too focused on Spinel to focus on how uncaring Steven is being in this scene
>that look of utter betrayal when she sees the scythe fall out of his pocket
>"Why do you have that"
Those who haven't felt that pain can never understand.
>still no gif of that opening part of the song where she acts like a slinkine, bouncing off her head and feet towards Steven
why
steven is going to turn into the same one he was fighting - pink diamond
The prophecy
I know that feel man
>Had best friend in secondary school (t. britbong)
>Talking, laughing, the good stuff
>Literally THE DAY AFTER we were acting like usual he just stone cold ignores me
>Purposefully turns his head away, doesn't fucking acknowledge me
You know what the worst part is, no one even knew why, not my other best friend who was friends with him, not even the guy's own brother knew why he stopped talking to me
it hurt but I thought, if no one knew why then he wasn't worth being sad over losing, hung out with my other best friend until we separated for different Sixth-Form
Other thing that make appreciate the song
>Steven's eyes throughout the song keep darting from side to side, basically doing his best to avert his gaze from meeting Spinel to avoid
>Spinel's gaze is pretty much laser focused on him/his back throughout the entire sequence while he only occasionally gazes back to make sure she's keeping up
>Spinel can I ask you a favor?
>Are you kidding? Anything
her voice right there. STOP
It's a tumblr gif, but this part, right?
And her smile at that point and at the end of Found, it's like it's strained or force, like she's really trying to give it her all and not fuck it up like she thinks she already did.
I did not expect such a heartbreaking performance from her VA, so many perfectly-delivered punches to the gut.
Because Steven was reverted back to s1 Steven bc of the scythe. Did you not watch the movie?
Gee its swell to finally meet
her oootherr friends!
Anyone else notice how similiar Crystal Gems are to Blades from Xenoblade saga?
I want a gif of spinel bonking herself on the head, it's so silly and cute but also hurts
because I made a webm instead
Gonna do it like 10 minutes or so, got something to do. Unless someone else makes it beforehand
Man, Steven was such a sperg in that last cutscene.
He could have atleast asked her if she wanted to help them out, or offer her a place in Little Homeworld if she wanted to rest after the emotional fuckery she went through.
This movie has fucked me up, every time I try to study I keep thinking about it. I have an exam in a little over a month ffs.
That is your brain telling you someone in your life is a cunt mate.
Can my brain tell me how to solve the problem?
If our brains solved problems do you think the world would be how it is?
Rose is such a bitch what the fuck. Why can't she bring Spinel along
Its funnier this way.
>"Hey rebel leader Rose Quartz, why is Pink Diamond's bff hanging around you all the time?"
I'M NOT FUCKING LAUGHING!
yea but the timeline doesn't work out
she thought she was annoying, straight up, looking at her expressions that's what it is. fuck even if that was the case she should have just sent her back to homeworld or something intead of making her stand on an asteroid for thousands of years. what a bitch.
Hay go watch some paint dry lol.
>"I stole her LMAO."
It's not that hard. Pink lied so much before, what's one more?
anybody have a link to the original thread for the movie?
I am sure she would change if Rose just asked.
Admit it, you are all just seething that you are not CHAD PINK DEE. Bitch does what she wants and doesn't care about anyone!
Pink wanted to leave her toy at home when she went to go administrate her big-girl colony, since her whole deal was wanting the other Diamonds to take her seriously and treat her like an equal adult.
None of that excuses Pink's abhorrent choice in just ditching Spinel though, not by any stretch.
Spinel was left there before Pink was given Earth and knew about the humans and everything
>tmw when she was inching closer towards a full on breakdown when she began coming up with reasons for Steven having the rejuvenator
>I can just forget this ever happened?!
>You're gonna leave me somewhere?! YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE ME ALONE?!
That fucking pained delivery in that scene was A1 gourmet shit.
>Combat gems are shit at fighting
>Utility gems are okay at fighting
>Entertainment and servitor gems are deadly as fuck
I doubt its intentonal but it is a cool idea.
based and pinkpilled
This.
>You gonna leave me....somewhere?
The tacked-on 'somewhere' is extra heart-wrenching.
I swear SU might as well be Steven cleans up every Rose's mistakes
When Steven and Greg unite, it is the whole universe that gets fucked.
>tfw S6 is just a boss rush of everyone in the galaxy that Rose has pissed off
Would have been better if they just both went full MGS4 and punched each other up on top of metal gear until they both fell down and *had* to start talking because they were exhausted.
thanks user
S6 has to step out of this 'Rose fucks up again' trope or I will be unironically mad.
>that file name
fucking jej
It would be interesting if the show used its first premise of magical girl-esque villain of the week type deal. maybe several episodes for each enemy for character arcs to fully explore traumas and where pink bad-touched them
>Steven didn't even hug her
>Well think again, you're not getting rid of me that easy!
That fact she'd rather crash the entire planet with no survivors WITH her on it, than even toy with the prospect of being left alone again is nuts.
Steg being an absolute unit was funny as hell. Maybe S6 will give him an episode where he used this experience to find a way to do a human gem fusion without needing steven.
Then we could see that *any* gem Greg Fuses with turns into an absolute unit and heavy animu tribute.
>Pearl/Greg turns into a combination of anime tropes Vaguely resembling Spike Speigal, complete with bang pose.
>I used to be not good enough for Pink Dimond!
>Now I'm not good at all!
I think we can all agree Spinel deserved to win, fuck Steven, he was an asshole in this.
>A handshake?
>A friendly handshake
>mfw I feel her pain
Steven is rightly becoming fed up with having to deal with his mothers shit.
This just presents more evidence of just what a fucking sex behemoth greg must have been to keep that bitch in line.
I was surprised they didn't see that kind of stuff as "toxic masculinity". Guess the crew isn't completely sunk in "progressiveness"
I dunno. Why is her loyal Pearl with Rose?
THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH YOU SHIT! SHE HASN'T FELT REAL AFFECTION IN CENTURIES, MILLENNIA! JUST SHOW A BIT OF KINDNESS TO THE GEM WHO DESERVES IT THE MOST! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SHITS SAY! FUCK ALL OTHER GEMS! FUCK AMETHYST, FUCK PEARL, FUCK GARNET, FUCK BISMITH, FUCK LAPIS, FUCK PERIDOT, FUCK STEVEN, FUCK THE DIAMONDS! SPINEL WAS THE LOYALEST, MOST CARING GEM AND PINK THREW HER TO THE WAYSIDE LIKE SHE WAS TRASH WHEN SHE DESERVED TO BE LOVED AND CARED FOR!
FUCK STEVEN FOR HOW HE TREATED HER! FUCK THE DIAMONDS FOR TREATING HER LIKE A TOY! FUCK ALL GEMS! FUCK THE HUMANS TOO! FUCK THEM ALL, NO ONE GAVE HER WHAT SHE DESERVED! SHE DESERVES A BEST FRIEND!
its ok when its the creators self insert transsexual thats fusing with the older man.
You're right, user, but chill
user have you ever considered that her basically being a hybrid of a clown and cartoon character more or less smothered anyone she was with and she was incapable of reading the mood for an extended period, to the point that diamond had to literally make it a game to get her to fucking give her space?
>"Did your planet always look so... dark?"
>"Not that we are judging"
>"Goodness no, because judging ethnics based upon appearance is wrong!"
How did she get away with it Yea Forums?
Why aren't there more lewds of her?
I would spend every second of every day with her and not feel smothered
Holy fuck, get over it.
I've never watched a single episode of this show in my life and even I'm not as much of a crying bitch about the fact that Yea Forums is covered with SU threads. The movie just fucking came out, you'll live.
>SPINEL WAS THE LOYALEST, MOST CARING GEM AND PINK THREW HER TO THE WAYSIDE LIKE SHE WAS TRASH WHEN SHE DESERVED TO BE LOVED AND CARED FOR!
I mean she was quite greedy for affection, but being isolated will do that to you I guess.
The look steven gave her afterward was priceless.
"I know you're playing me right now, but I'll take it. "
She just wanted a friend that wouldn't leave her, user. She just wanted to see her best friend smile. Is that so wrong?
You can tell that Steven was fed up with White’s cheekiness, but was just way too tired to deal with her atm.
chill out user, here look at this and be calm
look at this warm show of affection between best friends. isnt it nice
They'll come
>being isolated will do that to you I guess
For 6,000 years I would imagine it would, yes.
>I'd just get fed up with all the bullshit and leave town.
The movie proved you can't even leave earth without some bullshit she did in space. Steven's life is just fucked.
desu she should fixated too much on only one person and be a one trick pony. I hope S6 shows her branching out than just regular goofball.
FUCK NO! THAT SHOULD BE A GROUP HUG AROUND SPINEL! THEY SHOULD BE REMINDING HER THAT NO ONE WILL ABANDON HER LIKE PINK! NOT TREATING HER LIKE A FUCKING MISTAKE! IT'S LIKE LAPIS AND AMETHYST ROLLED INTO ONE! THAT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO YOU SHITS HOW TO DEAL WITH HER! COMFORT THE POOR GIRL! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love how much of a cheeky shit White Diamond is.
Well she has yellow who loves the goofball thing, blue who wants a more subdued friend and white who is an eldritch horror with motivations a mortal cannot comprehend.
She's just playing nice and Steven knows it, it's great.
>Steven we've come to hear to live with yoOooOoOooOoouuu
not gonna front white was really cute in this
you can tell they had a conversation about what they were going to say and how they were going to present the idea to steven and white is nodding the entire time then she just pulls this shit out when they land.
Well I'm sure that, like literally every other gem in existence, she can branch out. She obviously branched out from being a goof ball to being a broken gem with no one to love. I'm sure if Pink didn't ditch her she'd eventually figure out now ways to make her friends smile than just "EBIN HONK HONK!" And even get more than one friend, helping her deal with her abandonment issues as a result. But we'll never get that, because no one actually treats her well. They just treat her like a toy or another fucking problem left by Pink Diamond.
Spinel is definitely abandoned kid allegory. It's sad as fuck, especially when she gets "older" and becomes very self-destructive when people try to include her in stuff. Accusing them of trying to fuck her over. She blames herself for the damage (which is true, she did cause it) but she feels that she will never be good enough and tries to preempt being hurt by hurting them first.
It hid me pretty hard, watching her be all nervous and then she flips because Steven is a little distracted by getting Garnet back.
Crazy Spinel's design >>> innocent Spinel's design change my mind
>They just treat her like a toy or another fucking problem left by Pink Diamond.
I guess it is something to look forward to in s6 then :/
I just noticed the ship is face-fucking Steven's house.
I wonder if she knows she's sexy.
Why did you ruin that scene for me user?
that's nice
Before Learning her backstory: Innocent>Crazy
After Learning her backstory: Crazy>Innocent
The pain makes it better, especially when she doesn't look like a noodle falling apart anymore and it's almost like a fusion between the two designs.
Nobody disagrees, we have a consensus.
>no hug
>no love
Why even live, Spinel?
The part where she was told to wait for 6k years and started to doubt herself hit me way too hard.
she is a gem,doesnt have the cultural background for concepts like ''sexy''
I hope we see more spinel in s6, she is such a fun character with a great voice. Pic unrelated.
>No Spinel
Why even live, user?
The saddest things was that Pearl was probably right that he was just a passing fling. The only thing setting him apart from the dozens of others men over the centuries is that she used his biology as a base to re-invent herself. Or maybe the more accurate term is suicide. I mean a gem could shatter themselves, but they don’t really die, they just split in to pieces living an eternal hell knowing they are incomplete and desperately trying to form but only coming back as a hand or a foot or something. Pink figured out how to wipe her personality and effectively end her own existence.
I like Spinel for the same reason I like Phos. Emotionally destroyed Gems that used to be pure and good but have been ground into despair by reality are the BEST
>Steven is rightly becoming fed up with having to deal with his mothers shit.
I wonder if it'll start to become apparent that Steven didn't bring universal peace for its own sake, but because he wants to be left alone. He's been raised into a messianic figure and his final message was "yeah can you just all fuck off now, thanks!".
How tenuous is that peace going to be when the diamonds figure out Steven doesn't really give a shit about them, he just wants to chill.
>tfw didn't want to lewd her but one specific image broke me
Part of the reason why rose killed herself and created Steven is because she knew she and the other diamonds were all shitty people.
>why didn't she just stop being an asshole
She literally couldn't, it is her nature.
Oh there will be a universe on the throne of the empire.
It just turns out it'll be Greg.
I love Spinel and want more of her, but I don't want her to end up like Peridot or Lapis. I'm so conflicted.
It would be Keno for the last enemy steven has to face is his mother.
It was just another selfish step in her pattern of avoiding all responsibility.
She's been sent to the big barn in the sky, user.
Maybe she'll show up in the ending song of S6, as a non-speaking cameo in a background shot.
>tfw she's been left behind, again
On the one hand it would be nice to see Steven call her out on all the horrible shit she caused, but the other side is they would totally end up forgiving her and accepting her.
>Your majesty!
>Uh... yes?
>We have a planetary rebellion! What are your orders?

>solves every morale problem with a rock concert, no cover charge
Hail to the king, baby.
pearl,peridot,spinel himself and pretty much any gem in the shows,have demonstrated that while they cannot entirely change their base personality,they can improve
even pink diamond,between she leaving spinel to meeting greg she went throug a huge character development
she simply choose to be shity with those around her,wich make her even worse
Zuke's gone so maybe she wouldn't
>Look can I just play some rock music? I'm not into this whole... ruler thing.

>No show where Greg bumbles though every problem with luck and charisma.
It sounded like everyone's grandma
Nah my grandmother is more agressive and overtly racist bless her.
Honestly from her perspective, this 'Steven' shit is pretty easy to just let blow over. She can just bide time until Steven dies, likely in less than a thousand years, and resume her colonization of the universe.
>Everyone's names are in all caps except Patti's
why?
Is it because she's got one of those names with a capitalized letter in the middle of it? I dunno user.
Diamonds are hard, man.
God damn I really want her to make this face as she tries to seduce me
I just realised how fucked up it would be for Spinel to meet another Spinel.
What's she looking at Yea Forums?
>I hope we see more spinel in s6
user.....
I dunno, it seems to me like the best friend a spinel could have is another spinel.
Yea Forums
I'm talking about our Spinel meeting another.
>THEY WANNA DO WHAT?
>c'mere
this is it lads, spinel is NEVER getting loved again
I feel like it would be an autistic kind of thing where autistic people abnormally hate other autistics.
this
I would give her the biggest bear hug - Not to the point of squeezing her roughly where it would hurt, but in the most tenderly, lovingly, softest way imaginabl--Possible! I
vagina
Everyone saying
>on s6 i hope....
is a meme right? SU Movie was the end of the series Rebecca Sugar said it herself
For me it was this.
No she didn't. She said after Change Your Mind the show would be different.
She said it was the end of the conflict set up in season 1
Seasons 1-5 are all part of the initial 3 season (52 episodes each) order
1 aired normally (all 52 episodes) but seasons 2 and 3 were split in half to make 4 seasons.
Contextually it is because it's not expected for this show.
user, we have a confirmed S6.
yeahhhhh that's the stuff
>didn't even bother to giver her a hug throughout her entire redemption process
>ignores her whenever he gets the chance
Fucking Steven's becoming more like Pink everyday.
Surely one could talk normally to her for a moment and make her reflect on her behavior.
Wihtout outside imput gems literally made for a thought pattern and behavior wont change, which is why she still stood there after all this time until the message.
All it owuld have needed was to talk to her for an hour and it would have been resolved. No abandonment of a sentient being for 6000 years needed
When was this said?
go away spinel, I-I don't want you..
It's a song from Adventure Time that Marceline sings. People are looking at as a kind of call-forward(?).
Can someone please make webms of bits like this? She's so good in some scenes that i just want to keep them
no more hugs spinel
What if the reason Steven wasn’t able to talk/sing his way out of Spinel’s trauma was because his gem was broken and that’s the only reason the other gems initially found him compelling.
nah, you have to earn your hug
Comr on user, i need it. Please
I said, no more hugs. Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't hug people anymore.
>steven's singing is one of his powers
>when he gets his powers back suddenly his words start invoking huge reactions out of spinel where she just mocked him before
I can dig it.
I've never seen the full image if there is one.
She earns like 5 hugs per every degree of cuteness. And it's a lot of degrees, user.
>one of his gempowers is just soft mind control
oh fug
it was stored inside of her body using cartoon physics. normally she would fill it with love and infect entire worlds with good feelings but this time she just filled it with all her irrefutable hatred and despair
depends, I feel she won't give me personal space at all without lashing out to me that I'll be 'disloyal' to her
gimme the rest plox
remember, if you decide to rewatch steven universe at all, spinel is still waiting alone in the garden
YOU OWE ME
Relax will ya for crying out- what's got into you? I'm only breaking your balls a little bit that's all I'm only kidding with ya.
We didn’t see her leave for earth. We saw her flashback version break down when Steven’s message appears and vanishes and then the original Spinel transforms back into her trauma form. It looks like there’s barely a timeskip between Stephen redeeming the diamonds and then he sends out his message and goes home. Then the Future song begins, suggesting a timeskip.
You also have Spinel talking about his message being on loop and the first line of the New Friends song is “Yes I’ve heard the story over and over again” suggesting she heard it a lot.
I think it’s a perfect choice.
Spinel wants everyone to forget about Stephen the way she feels forgotten by Pink Diamond. And when he dies, along with the planet, nobody who really cares will remember him.
>TFW no reprise of Other Friends where Spinel is properly introduced to Steven's friends
OH OK
Can you make me a sandwich?
Maybe in S6, you disgusting vagabond.
spinal would have died trying to lay a minefield of whoopee cushions
nobody likes you
>Spinel
>In season 6
Don't make me get my hopes up user. Don't make me hope and wish for her every episode, only for her to be ignored. Don't make me wait six thousand episodes for her.
>That’s right I’ve heard the story, over and over again
>Gee it’s swell to finally have some other friends
>That’s right I’ve heard the story, I really like how it ends
>Gee it’s swell to actually be a Crystal Gem
>Fin
;_; why couldn’t we have this
Yeah, you're right. Might be best she stays on the back burner instead of ending up like the barn dwellers. It's better to burn out than fade away, as they day.
This is the last thing you see before plummeting to your death some 200ft below
>spinel
>season 6
Not happening, besides, the diamonds won't really be good friends to her so have fun knowing her to be possibly used as a tool again!
>Gee it’s swell to actually be a Crystal Gem
If it ended on Spinel's smile as she hugs all her new friends, fuck it I wouldn't care. This movie would've been 10/10. Shoots way past anything bad about it, it's all meaningless because of that one perfect shot. But it wasn't put in! You had to send her off to homeworld! We couldn't even have Steven partying with her in the palace! Or her and the Diamonds hanging around briefly before going! Just HAD to ship her off! Dammit Sugar!
>Why did she have to rip my pants off first
worthy
that's just a trick from Sugar to get us attached to the movie, forcing us to like it only because of Spinel's story
well, this just shows how little actual emotion and heartbreak rebecca Sugar understands.
I bet 15 bucks that the parts of Spinel's past revealed up until the injector explodes were writen by someone more talented than Sugar as a ghostwriter. Cause Sugar is too dumb to understand drama.
considering the track record of Sugar?
Sugar is an idiot. She is actually pretty much Pink Diamond.
Treats her own creation as toys and abuses /abandons them when she is done playing with them.
Best example: Lars.
>how are you going to forget with me around
>I'm the source of all your problems!
I feel like Steven could have avoided a fight if he just mentioned how Peridot, Lapis and Bismuth tried to kill him.
now go home and get your fuckin shine box
He wasn’t able to talk her round because his gem was broken
this. They rushed so much over the whole "only you can make yourself better" that it genuinely felt like they did the exact thing they claimed they weren't gonna do.
>Effort is needed to make a change
What effort? The diamonds came immediately after and took her to the palace. She wal literally handed her happiness back.
>"But, how could you forgive me? I poisoned your world."
>"You think that's bad?! I stole the earth's water and tried to drown Steven and now we're bestfriends!"
>"B-best... friends?"
>fingers stretch into tentacles
oh god no
Aside from how shitty he kinda was to Spinel, I really do like how Steven's just done with his mom's and the Diamond's bullshit.
I need more Steven and Spinel fanart or I'm going to have to draw my own.
I'd accept that headcanon if he didn't already do it in the garden in the first place.
She's still all-fucking powerful, she doesn't actually HAVE to go along with any of Steven's shit she's just choosing to and everybody knows it
You can honestly do so much with her. She's /d/ incarnate.
Draw your own anyway user, it's great.
I need fan-art of other Jesters to satisfy my headcanon.
>King (Queen) Dice character as White Diamond's Jester
>mute Mime as Blue Diamond's Jester
>femGallagher as Yellow Diamond's Jester
He didn’t completely win her over, though. And besides, as Stephen said himself he has to “use what’s left” to win her round, regarding his gem powers.
Hold up
>Gems say that if the injector is completely emptied it'll kill all life on Earth
>Injector gets completely emptied
>Pretty much just beach city that gets a little cracked up, but otherwise the world is fine
Toxic masculinity is about self-repression in pursuit of an (arguably fake) manly ideal. Just being buff doesn't qualify.
>No art of Spinel as Luffy or Bellamy despite her rubbery and springy abilities
>No art of Steven as Bartolomeo as they have extremely similar shield and barrier powers
>Especially since Spinel used Elephant Gun and Steven Used Bari Bari Pistol
>if we move it it'll explode!
>oh nevermind, an explosion was the answer
SU writers are hacks, more at 11.
The Pink Diamond Apology Tour never ends
"Is the true" song a parody of Komm Susser Tod????
So what happens to the fusion memories if only one part gets factory reset?
Steven's build is entirely based around taking hits until either the opponent gets tired and gives up or he can worm his own feelings into them.
*Laughs in rock aids*
It never even began.
...there's gonna be an s6. Aight, i'll give it a chance.
I imagine they wouldn't mesh well kind of like jamming a puzzle piece into a different set. So the resulting form if they could even fuse would look like a mix of their original first fusion and their current form.
>tfw no dark reprise of No Matter What with Spinel
I think it was because Spinel made it all come out at once. Instead of going deep into the Earth it all just came back up so only the area immediately surrounding it was harmed.
"I know what is like to lose, Connie. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless".
Remember Steven's hax shield wasn't working so destroying it would be more dangerous for whoever was doing it. That and this was at a point where they were trying to minimize damage
Stevens next line should've been
>Bitch I haven't had time to put it down since I was trying to get all of you fixed.
Then snapping it.
Literally 4 seconds, no mumbling about 'Yeah I only wanted you for your body' or shit like that.
Toxic masculinity isn't a thing, you faggot.
First of all, anything that would be considered "toxic" in a guy is the same thing that would be in any other person, guy or girl. Any person can self-repress for a million reasons, just because one of them would be a "manly ideal" that doesn't warrant giving it its own special term because it's completely pointless; a woman could also self-repress for a "feminine ideal".
Second of all, that's not even the meaning people are spreading that term with. Anything that's considered masculine was considered toxic. There was, or probably still even is, the idea that boys are inherently malicious and/or destructive and must be groomed out of it. Things like wanting to have a fit build, play-fighting with others as a kid, frying your own steak in your own backyard etc, those are viewed as toxic masculinity. Heck, if you just google the term you'll see what I mean in any of the results.
A prime example is the Gilette ad fiasco.
I'd prefer White's Jester to be more like a classic magician/Zatanna but I can dig the other Diamonds having Jesters.
>lapis makes an ocean tower
>take injector into low orbit
>crush
>Yellow and White
Am I a joke to you?
Yes, actually.
Speaking of Sardonyx, Spinel probably would have fucking lost it if she'd seen that fusion.
>So, you REPLACED ME? Her jokes aren't even FUNNY!
To be fair if you had literally one person you'd ever met in your entire existence you'd probably want them to spend time with you as well.
Spinel had literally no one except Pink Diamond. Shit, even Pearls have other Pearls they can hang out with.
>Spinel Vs Sardonyx is just a goof off to see who can make Steven laugh more
>Steven doesn't laugh at Spinel's stuff because he feels bad for her and is also a little afraid of her.
Humanity might be complacent pets that lack the strength from fighting each other to survive, but it would definitely be worse with a stronger Gem presence.
>toxic masculinity isn't a thing
>you faggot
Welp, no need to read the rest.
>Sardonyx rubbing in the fact Spinel can't make Steven laugh with OHOHOHO
Arsenic is a good weed killer
>just because one of them would be a "manly ideal" that doesn't warrant giving it its own special term because it's completely pointless
But why? It might be one phenomenon in a million, but if I want to talk about it it's useful to have a name for it.
>a woman could also self-repress for a "feminine ideal"
Sure.
>that's not even the meaning people are spreading that term with
Since there is no language police, people can use words however they want with impunity. If you think the term "toxic masculinity" is a motte-and-bailey then fair enough, I can try coming up with another term.
At the end of the day, there are a lot of people who would call you a "fag" and "not a real man" for liking Steven Universe - not as some weird isolated social glitch, but as part of a greater folk ideology. That is a real thing and (I hope you agree) it's bad.
White would have a Stage Magician
Blue would have a Mime
Yellow seems like the type to have a band or orchestra play music while she works, the only thing I could think of her stopping her work to do is to play chess or solitaire.
Bloody hell when will this ever happen?
I'm a sucker for those kinds of happy endings, so the reprise gives me goosebumps.
mother like son, steven is going to become just like his mother in terms of behavior and mentality in future seasons
General "object personification" stuff

Peace be upon you
REMEMBER ME, PINK?
WHEN YOU LEFT ME ON THAT GARDEN WORLD
I LOOKED JUST

THIS
>But why?
I explained why in the same post. Don't just read one phrase and adress it while ignoring the rest of the post. It's pointless to do at best or it's counter-productive. Calling it "toxic masculinity" means it's implying that it's something only men can have. Women are not exempt from negative traits, no man has negative "toxic" traits that women can't have. It's more likely that you'll find certain traits, positive or negative, in men as opposed to women but that's not the case for 100% of the representative populace.
If you get called a fag by some guy for liking Steven Universe that's not a fault of masculinity itself, it's a fault of how the person was raised, their entourage throughout their life and culture, all of which masculinity play little part of. It does play a part, yes, but it's not the inherent core issue. Women have their own shit that do to each other and other people that are equally as shit.
Also that's even considering that the traits in question ARE negative, which takes me to why I was talking about the meaning the term was spread with, instead of the definition you had for it. Like I said, there are people that want to spread the notion that anything that's traditionally masculine is negative, ANYTHING.
I don't care what's your own definition of the term, because your definition is pointless for the reasons I explained in my first paragraph. I care about the fact that people that want to use that term to say being a guy is inherently evil. The reason I mentioned that about Steg is because that notion is spread alongside progressiveness, blaming inherent masculinity as the root of racism, mysogyny and such
>toxic masculinity doesnt exist
sorry user,but masculinity is partially biological and partially social construct as result of this the way it can happen can be negative or postive
coming from a enviroment with ''macho'' culture,i can tel there are some widespread stereotypes of how a man must be that are in fact negative
how do you feel about this?
>cont
...Forgot to mention that and, as anybody well knows, SU is praised as a progressive cartoon. Hence my surprise, that they're not the kind of people that share the same belief as the people that spread the idea of "toxic masculinity" because they'd easily see Steg as a representative of such
Then toxic femininity also exists because women exact peer pressure on other women to act a certain way, look a certain way, etc.
These “toxic” behaviors are exhibited by everyone. Giving a gendered name doesn’t make it exclusive to a gender. If anything it just undermines your point.
A good compromise.
>no mascara streaks and slight panda eyes
No thanks.
What is the fastest her dance can go
I can actually accept this, wish there was art for that
>that are in fact negative
Herein lies the problem. You and the people I was talking about think of masculine traits as negative, the rest don't believe it is, and we'll never come to an agreement about that. Not to mention that you people believe things such as using slurs against other people and other similar actions are part of masculinity only, part of that "macho" culture you're talking about, but like I said women are not exempt from having such negative traits.
It's not "toxic masculinity", it's just being a toxic person if you're so keen on using the word "toxic". Before the term came by people just called it being a shit person and used it fairly for both men and women
You didn't explain anything just sperged out because term describing social phenomenon uses gendered name (it does so for a reason, but you're too busy screeching to notice it).
So the OVA is about Steven managing the safety of the townies while a gem hurry by his mother takes her anger out in the Earth, and then using his super powers to fix everything despite the malice and planning of the villain and Steven pretty much letting it happen to about hurting the violations feelings...
Steven is increasingly turning into Messiah figure.
>I'M GOING TO DESTROY THE EARTH
>okay, but I'll just fix it afterwards because I'm all powerful... also I'll forgive you for it and find you a job
You have to understand that pre-rebellion gem society was extremely dehumanizing. The Diamonds saw most of the other gems as tools or toys whose lives had no meaning beyond their manufactured purpose. This is how they lived and it's what PD was like before coming to Earth.
She was the one who broke tradition and started the project which ended up freeing all gems, but even at her worst she was only acting the way they were all raised.
Cf. how even though the 18th century abolitionists were on the "right side of history" during their time, they would still be considered pretty racist by today's (uncontroversial) standards.
>Implying a show for children/weirdos would ever break its hyper-idealistic message to have something interesting or different happen
>It would have been better if she was shattered and couldn't be reasoned with.
Nope. Kino would have been if she was reasoned with and then self-shattered in a sacrifice play because she didn't want to live in a world without Pink but also wanted to protect her legacy (Steven). Then Steven would have to carry that weight.
>I ignored everything you said so that means you didn't explain anything
That's some toxic femininity right there
first:im not the user you begun to discuss with,just to not get confussed
there is a difference,being a shitty person happens when is a isolated event related to your personal experiences and decisions with little to no influence of mainstream culture
but coming from latinoamerica i can tell you that there is a widespread culture that forces certain ''roles'' on both man and women
macho ''mens'':
-men dont cry or feel
-men must always be straigth and act of determined ways
-men must be economic providers
-women are a ''object'' to be gained
-men cant be victim of women
women:
-you must be a doll wife
-your sexuality is inmoral
-you must submit to your man
-you must act like a shallow bitch to others treating mens like toys and women as adversaries
when religion,TV,your family and pretty much the average dude/dudette share this view of things,you can clearly see why is no longer considered ''shitty persons'' and more ''a flaw in the way our culture is composed''
now dont misunderstand me,i dont nothing with men being masculine or women being femenine,but i dislike the idea of culture trying to enforce said ideals like they are law and judging those that might not have to follow them
i been witness of it as well victim and agressor to certain degree,this doesnt mean im go to scream you
''evul mAn'',but there is nothing wrong to taking a look at your culture and saying ''maybe this isnt rigth''
thanks for confirming so obviously that you're an incel
And everything you said is either debatable or proof against the idea of toxic masculinity. Why invent a term that refers to men when women also exhibit traits that are arguably negative birthed from culture. Saying there's toxic masculinity can imply that only men have that toxicity, but as you yourself gave examples in your post, women have that too.
Then what do you do, do you invent toxic femininity? At that point why do that, why not just say toxic person?
When a culture has some things that are arguably negative, you take them and you discuss them. You try to convince the rest why they're bad for the community. Looking at one thing, seeing that it's about men, and then suddenly coming up with the idea that men are toxic is ridiculous and counter-productive.
Lastly, you're trailing off here. If you cared enough to post then you'd look at the other posts I just made and see that the reason I'm adressing this is because of the idea that being a man is inherently bad, no matter what traits you have and what culture you have. That's the definition that was popularized with "toxic masculinity" and spread around with the rise of progressiveness in the western world.
What are you even talking about nobody called out anyone, Steven Universe is literally a completely normal show with a slightly unique pitch
