Isn’t it that Steven didn’t know that the Gems were rebels of an Alien Empire and just thought they were magical heroes.
Isaac Kelly
It’s marketing department.

dropped and buried plotline that was just used for the trailer

>they're actually aliens
>they're actually invaders who rebelled against the idea of destroying the world
>they're actually a diamond and a slave turned rebel that inadvertently led their army into genocidal chaos based on a series of lies
Brody Williams
This, it's just a fancy line.
Or if you want to look into it further, the fact that Pearl speaks it and in the same extended intro winks at the camera and does the Diamond salute is alluding to the PD twist
Kevin Green
As the very next line is
"when we arrived on earth, from out beyond your star"
followed by
"We will protect your kind
We will protect your Earth"
Being alien rebels is not the mystery.

For the stuff about pearl winking and saluting, "we" throughout each line is refering to the three gems, not steven. Garnet and amethyst aren't artistocratic gems, only pearl. Amethyst didn't even come from space.
The mystery has to be something shared by all three of them.

they wuz kings
Connor Martin
It kinda is. That description could fit like Superman or someone.

Yes.
OP is just stupid.
Ayden Torres
He sorta knew they were aliens or extradimensional heroes or SOMETHING, but he didn't know the full messy death-filled story. He had a romantic view of Rose and the gems as some heroes. But it was a shitty shitty war.
Eli Barnes
Gems are an artificial race that would later become parasites on the universe.
Nolan Edwards
Agreed. Most of his conflict was coming to find out that the original purpose of the Gems was to wipe out life on the planet.
Adam Cook
It was already established in Rose's Scabbard (Mar 2015) that they were rebels.
The song was debuted in July.
And it was remixed into the unsettling version for the Gem Drill bomb in May 2016.

I'm really not seeing the problem here.
Connor Watson
So all gems are products of Steven
Asher Long
This. The commercial was probably cobbled together by some intern that doesn’t even watch the show, and the line was used as lorebait to increase viewership despite its implication never being any part of the creators’ intentions. And it worked.
Andrew Gomez
I'm pretty sure that's one of the first plotlines that was tied up, back in Ocean Gem. Steven thought he was living in a magical girl anime, and had never thought of the gems as alien invaders.

>they're actually sheev palapatine,darth vader, jar jar and few other hangers on.
jasper is maul

Steven didn't understand they were lesbians. He just thought they were "really close" like he and connie.
Wyatt Collins
>he and connie
but
Robert Perez
is that pic a NaNa reference?
Grayson Carter
I still think this may come back when the show goes on. There's more shit to explore still.
Hudson Butler
literally no one ever said that pebbles were gems. There are other types of aliens in their universe.
Kayden Peterson
the audience knows, but shes not singing to the audience, she's singing to steven, who does not know at this point
Josiah Adams
All life is a product of stevengod
Austin Peterson
Sapient rocks

>other types of aliens made with Diamond tears
