Not shown in the SU movie: All the other times Spinel did this shit to other worlds 6000 years ago...

I'll admit that I should've asked for two events instead.

The injector is the bigger question. They said that Rejuvinators are used to keep gems in line, it could have been in the garden in case Spinel snaps so that PD can reset her.

I'm just guessing she made her way to the next, bigger Gem homebase and picked up the Injector.

Maybe it was just a comically large bottle of weed killer.

She was a playtoy, Pink never had a planet to do this to until right before she abandoned Spinel

I mean, sure, for the gem empire, that's basically what it is. However, I find it hard to believe they'd need that on an asteroid floating in space where the only green existing is in Pink's personal garden.

>Why have something for killing plants in a garden
Izza rite mystery innit?

>yea, my diamond needs a rejuvinator and a big fucking injector

It's implied (in a horribly shit fashion) that the galaxy warp takes quite some time to beam steven from homeworld back to earth. Mainly because Spinel said she had steven's recording on loop, and it's shown that she wasn't fully batshit angry when it aired. It just slowly broke her more and more as she went around learning about the crystal gems, getting rose's stash of weapons she never used, and then travelling to earth using the drill as a ship. And it's already established from Lars's space adventures (which we only get a glimpse at) that space travel on a standard gem ship takes fucking ages, but is apparently quicker than using a warp pad.

my theory is spinel's are assassin class gems, when she pulled out that scythe it came out like a gem specific weapon. Spienl's probably were sent out to planets to clear the hostiles out like saiyans before they started hollowing them out for gem colonies

I'm not really positing anything serious, but maybe Spinel just really hated weeds. Someone had to take care of the garden, and it went to shit while Spinel was standing still.
On a side note, I could picture a short of her trying to weed a dandelion before Pink shows up. She'd try everything to get rid of it, including ineffectually slashing at it with the rejuvenator. At the end, she'd blow her horn finger and have the injector orbit in from the other side of the asteroid to nuke the thing. It'd still be fine

Nanefua becoming mayor

How did she get one that looked like it was basically made for her? It has a heart to match hers and everything. Did she make it?

A basic scythe will do that. Giving it brainwashing powers seems a bit over the top.

Are all baseline pearls so spinny and cute? She made tons of great faces right after she reformed.

That...makes sense and works with/corrects what I said.

The musical number prior to her arrival wasn't in real time or something, I suppose.

>Which was pretty fast after Steven's message. The timing is a ...little wonky, but Spinel certainly had the element of surprise going in so I don't think it's TOO much of a stretch especially if nobody was really guarding any of this shit (because of the dismantling efforts/lack of any known enemies.)
But even if you take all of that into consideration, you have to realize that besides getting all of those instruments, she also learned how to use her stretchy powers for fighting after not moving for 6000 years. And all in the course of one morning.
The fact that they made it so all the events of the movie happen in less than 24 hours makes the plot extremely stupid. The fact that Spinel beat the crystal gems, who have fought to protect the earth for 5000 years, after not doing anything for 6000 years, is really, really stupid.
They should have made it so that she received the message of Pink´s death 2 years before the events of the movie. That would have made sense, 2 years is enough for her to get everything. But no, they couldn´t do that.

Is it implied? I never saw that. Specially since right after Steven says goodbye to the diamonds it cuts directly to him on earth.
And even if it takes time, it´s not like it takes an hour. A minute at most.
>And it's already established from Lars's space adventures (which we only get a glimpse at) that space travel on a standard gem ship takes fucking ages, but is apparently quicker than using a warp pad.
Refresh my memory, when was this said? I don´t remember that at all.

It's just bad writing OP, Steven universe is literally the poster child for it.

that makes no sense. Pearl said Spinels are made to be "best friends" to their owner on her reset form.

Spinel got jobbed in round two.

She was running on unbridled rage and frustration and just let loose on the people she hated; the only reason she managed to get as far as she did before Steven put her down was because of her insanity and the sheer element of surprise.

The CGs hadn't fought anybody in over two years--Amethyst herself said she was rusty and they had NEVER seen anybody using rubbery noodle cartoon physics against them, let alone fought that crazy shit. Onion with a duplicator gave them a work out because of how crazy that situation was; same logic applies here.

They got hit hard and fast but with their combined shit gotten together they kicked her ass in less time than she did to them, and even during the second fight the CGs were ...sort of holding back and not going in for a shattering.

No quintuple Obsidian fusion, not even a single fusion, they just tag teamed her in a few minutes to try to get her to stop. And then Steven just outlasted her final piteous tantrum to get her to calm down.

As much as I enjoyed the movie, pretty much this. All the flaws with Steven Universe proper are present and accounted for in the movie. The SU crew treat the overarching details of their work as an afterthought. Then when don’t get it they pull that “its ambiguous” bullshit.

Did she buy the mega-injector on gem Ebay before coming to Earth?

Where the fuck did she get a cluster-tier weapon like that?

It's pink, so we can assume it's rose's. And we know Rose never used her gem tools against earth because she fell in love with it.

>you can't spell slaughter without laughter
I was going to argue against your post but this made me kek

Pink was probably bad at keeping tidy

This guy:
is right. She had the element of surprise, and the fact that nobody was taking her seriously first time around. Pearl certainly wasn't (she remembered her as PD's "little playmate"). Garnet possibly threw the fight because she knew how it would turn out. And Amethyst has probably never fought anyone who could shapeshift better than her.

"But-but her scythe skills" - she was TWIRLING it like a baton (or the staff used by drum majors in marching bands). Which is cool looking, but not really how you would use a weapon like that. She was giving them the ol' razzle dazzle.

I feel a Rejuvinator would be pointless since it was said she was a perfectly cut gem and to make her snap it took 6000 years of abandonment then a message saying how great life is to make her snap

People forgetting that Pink was still a diamond, and that the others expected her to act as such
>"Here Pink, make sure to keep this rejuvinator around just incase Spinel doesn't live up to the cut of her Gem! See you in a few decades"
>"Oh, you want a garden Pink? With organic life? How silly you are! Well, you can play there with Spinel, just keep this bio-poison around in case you get bored with it"
>"What's that Pink? Save the humans? Well, we can put them in a zoo for you if you like, we'll stop by next year to abduct a few for you"

Really the question isn't why those things were around for Spinel to grab. The diamonds probably would hand bioweapons out to a Ruby for all they cared about life before Steven.

If you were Pink, where would you hide shit you stole?

She probably wouldn't have been made a diamond playmate if she had a history of this shit. It's safe to assume she was created right before she met PD.

I assume that the garden was on the astroid belt new earth

>she also learned how to use her stretchy powers for fighting after not moving for 6000 years.
She's born with inherent knowledge of how to play tag, which is basically the same as fighting if your strategy is just to keep dodging until your opponent's guard is down.

I want to dick her, so it's ok.

maybe pink had to use it on spinel when she was done with her but couldn't?

lapis beat the crystal gems without ever(presumably) using her powers fighting before and having been in a mirror for 4000 years.

Attached: 1548179496453.jpg (487x322, 58K)

Lapis was self aware during all of that time in the mirror. She could still see the world going on without her, until Pearl stuck her in her gem at least

She probably had time to plan what she would do if she was ever freed, and all of her hatred and anger powered up her powers, and her desperation to get home let her push herself to her limits

How? It was only a few minutes between Steven leaving HW and hanging out with his friends.

But this was pre-Earth, why would she steak those things?

>that the galaxy warp takes quite some time to beam steven from homeworld back to earth.
And yet is somehow slower than... flying a giant fucking injector?

That's an amazingly huge stretch that doesn't gel with what we saw. Mind, Steven kissing the poison away doesn't gel with what Peridot said, so maybe this plot is just kinda stupid and you're not supposed to think about kids shows.

so was spinel. she could have mentally rehearsed playtimes and murder fantasies in her darker moments

Like you said, Gem Ebay, it's got shitloads of milsurp superweapons clogging up the catalog now that demilitarization efforts are in full force.

If showing up on ship were slower than galaxy warp, the diamonds would have just warped there and had their pearls and other gems bring a convoy of supplies from homeworld via ship.

Also, they didn't even establish a galay warp pad until after steven came back. He shows up on the regular short ranged warp. That could explain the time difference easily because "oh hurr durr did something it wasn't meant to do so it took longer for him to get home. So what was seconds for steven was a few months for everyone else!" but apparently that's asking too much from the crew. just like how asking for spinel to be hugged was too much.

the diamonds probably prefer to travel in comfort. a limousine is not the most efficient way to travel

>"I can't believe the Diamonds just sold all this cool stuff on clearance! Destabilizers, Corruptors, Rejuvenators!"
>"Wait a minute, most of this stuff only works on Rocks! And when are we gonna use an 'Injector' anyway?"
>"Uh, well, let's just take the lasers and dump everything else!"

Well warping isn't uncomfortable at all unless someone shoves you out of the stream.

There's a galaxy warp in the garden, she got it on homeworld

it is when you're bigger than the warp pad

>everything covered in biopoison
Okay, so riddle me this: Quite literally how in the fuck are the writers going to handwave the fact that all of the biopoison got out of the injector? The whole ocean surrounding beach city got contaminated, everything on the planet should start to die shortly afterward. Are they seriously planning to have us believe that steven is somehow capable of fixing the entire planet with his saliva?

if its not an error, maybe thats a s6 plotline?

Steven did say "There are no happy endings, I'll always have more work to do." Cleaning up the poison is part of what he meant.

The drill responds to specific combinations of acoustics.

How would that be different then what they've already done? This show has no consistency or long term stakes, hasn't from the beginning.

The drill didnt dig deep enough to explain that shit seeping through the rock and spreading across the planet. Also Sugar is really fucking stupid the amount of biopoison that could cover the earth's surface would require an injector as tall as the Burg Khalifa, and it would take days for it to drain out successfully.

Did you not watch the montage after the Diamonds left? The Earth got healed and they fixed Beach City.

Injector felt like such an aftertought. Spinel's plan should have just been to make the C.G.s forget about Steven using the Rejuvenator the same way Pink forgot about her.

steven probably spit into the ocean, i guess

Attached: stevenUniverseTheMovieSnapshot32091.png (1280x738, 616K)

Spinel should have just foudn an asteroid around 5kms across and send it to Earth to mass murder surface life faster then drop the biopoison in the ocean to finish off the survivors. Oh wait Im sorry intelligent writing isnt allowed on this show.

>so maybe this plot is just kinda stupid and you're not supposed to think about kids shows.

Its that one. SU is, at heart, dumbed down for 8 year olds and Sugar comes from the school of 'its about feelings, not thinking' in writing. She's making it like Fantasia without the god-tier art or music.

No kids I know care about SU but they find TTG very entertaining for some reason.

Steven getting grounded from television

we already know the garden was where rose put her unwanted trash, so of course her weapons would be there.

Then its written for people on the thinking level of 8 year olds, whichever. If they catch more in the net, that's just the world sometimes.

what would final battle of injector-free movie look like, then?

Trying to get a hold of the Scythe or just plain trying to kill Steven.

That's what's dumb about it. The fact that Steven had MORE than enough time to heal the Earth one kiss at a time is nonsense, there may as well not have been any poison at all.

>They said that Rejuvinators are used to keep gems in line, it could have been in the garden in case Spinel snaps so that PD can reset her.
But why would she LEAVE IT THERE? Why didn't she take it with her in case someone figures out her secret or something?

memories can be recovered. not a good chance to take when you can just poof and bubble someone then hide them in a lion.

>not a good chance to take when you can just poof and bubble someone then hide them in a lion.
So not one person asked "Hey, where the hell did Bismuth go? Now that I think about it, Jade from accounting been gone for a while. And Opal hasn't been seen in the last few decades..."?

bismuth liked fighting. rose wasn't the dumbass in that scenario for once.

yeah, we literally see her punching the shit outta Lapis

Basically the entirety of season 1 having Pearl and Amethyst gradually stop being dicks to each other.

Because Link's the biggest retard in a society of bumbling incompetent retards. Nigh unkillable, immortal life forms and their galactic empire top out at, what, 20 planets tops? Rookie numbers. It wouldn't surprise me that they'd keep their WMDs right next to their gardening shed.

>She was giving them the ol' razzle dazzle
I like it when the crew hires a more competent artist to remembers their established lore and draws their characters behaving consistently. Spinel and Pearl both have very flashy attacks because they're both from a caste of entertainer-servants and they can't totally deprogram themselves out of their innate desire to put on a show no matter what the situation is. Makes me wonder how Blupearl and Yearl would fight if they ever had to.

technically a scythe isn't a weapon at all. it's a farming tool.

Legitimate question, how did Steven actually grow?

he grows when he feels more mature

But it doesn't work on organic matter like most Gem tech. It being for farming was clearly not what was intended for HW

farming people. it's probably a weapon intended for a gem held still, like an executioner's axe

also i'm pretty sure the way she spins it is a reference to some anime. soul eater?

How did Bismuth get the best song in the whole movie?

I was honestly getting some Maka vibes from Spinel.

Getting a little overpowered.

Y'know, I really didn't care for that song, but I do see it's got a really dedicated fanbase. Love/hate, I guess.

I'll riot if it's not the season 6 opening.

I like her voice, but I didn't really care for the song. Reminded me of 'go the distance' in hercules. As fucked up as it sounds, I like when her character is distressed, she sounds very good at expressing fear, doubt, and pain more than joy and excitement.

>Be space dictator

>NOT Have your best friend also be your personal assassin

It's kinda weird how Lapis has almost no hard feelings towards her over that, now that I think about it.

Pink really dropped the ball on that one.
Spinel was a jester because that's all Pink wanted.

Pink constantly drops the ball

massive balls

Pink could have had a renegade Pearl and a demented Spinel terrorizing Homeworld on the battlefield.

Or maybe the broadcast just wasn't the first one that was sent out. There had to be more messages given how the colonies and armies were disbanded. She could have been out there stealing.

There's also the fact that bismuth said they started using the rejuvenater to stop gems who were stepping out of line. That implies it was a newer weapon likely built in response to the revolution rising, it wouldn't be sitting around a pre-earth colony facility.

lars is gay now

Actually fuck that, he is pink zombie space captain Harlock.

>Spinel stretching her way across the entire battlefield with her scythe swinging everywhere

Lars becoming a space pirate revealed something about the show.

The three main romantic pairings are human x human and gem x gem in a show where the best POSSIBLE pairings are human x gem. Lars and Emerald like those comics people made, and now Steven x Spinel.

Which is why Greg is so alpha, it actually happened for him.

This is devilish

Greg is the ultimate chad, pulled not one but two diamonds, became a rockstar, rolling in dough, and most importantly is genuinely the best role model for his son.
