Was Steven given too many powers? And he's kind of OP now, as soon as he got his powers back in the movie he basically jobbed Spinel in 2 minutes with negative difficulty. He didn't even try to attack seriously.
Shields not indestructible though, que gif of angery yellow running up and stomping it that I don’t have.
Christian Cooper
Sugar based SU of Shonen and Magical Girl, what’d you expect? I would genuinely not be surprised if he became a planet buster or something.
Thomas Foster
His gem can be shattered by a pointy rock. He’s pretty weak, all things considered.
Joseph Lewis
That was then and this is now though. Two years have passed and we can see that his bubble construct is durable enough to tank a blast that wrecked Beach City. We’d have to wait for more to see if how much he’s grown, but we did see him access his Pink self’s geometric shields.
Robert Perry
The show has ended and he's completed his arc. He's supposed to be super powerful.
>inb4 but Season 6!
Maybe like one more season, but the show is clearly almost at the end.
Gavin Russell
Wouldn't that be the case for all gems then?
Jordan James
No, he's not OP, the problem is it's NOT GOING ANYWHERE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS IN THIS DAMN SERIES ITS DROPPED PLOTLINES AND LOREBAIT ALL DAY EVERY DAY. All his developing superpowers are clearly HINTING that something's happening to him physiologically and psychologically where he's awakening to his mom's powers but THEY NEVER GET TO IT THEY JUST CRY ALL THE TIME AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Parker Williams
you don't need to go that far, he's still mostly human there's a lot of ways you could kill him
Nolan Walker
He's completely surpassed Pearl and Amethyst at this point
I'd say he's about equal to Garnet
Zachary Ramirez
>super strength far from jasper, garnet, or any other diamond >super speed i must have missed that episode >insane durability his opponents use distabilisers, rejuvinators, and other energy tech weapons specially designed to poof gems. He's half human so he can't poof >indestructible shield often breaks after 1 hit >gravity manipulation sidegrade to the average gem's super-jump >telepathic/possession powers only when sleeping
along with all of the powers being emotion/endurance based, the only reason to call him diamond-tier would be cracked gem healing and resurrection he probably couldn't even poof a quarts
Kevin Watson
You don’t remember the huge punch Spinel threw at him that could destroy that Injector?
Brody Brown
1) Amethyst's gem cracked after she fell from several dozens of feat onto a sharp rock. Someone did the calc and thats like a point blank shotgun to the gem. Didn't break.
2) Steven's gem is a Diamond. Bismuth invented the Breaking Point and according to her its the only weapon capable of shattering a Diamond.
3) I've been rewatching the show and post Steven's training, we've seen him seriously injured twice. Once when fighting Topaz and the other when Yellow Diamond stomped him to unconsciousness. Every other time he literally just tanks it.
That includes Amethyst slamming him into solid stone from several feat into the air as hard as she could, creating a huge blast of debris. He punched his way out of the rock with one scratch. In the movie, Spinel can't do anything to him. The one punch she lands that hurts him is when he's depowered, and it gives him a nosebleed.
David Morris
Nah Brah Steven is the new Ben. He has that new 16 year old body tthat they have to make products for and milk for another 5 years. Steven will get 2 spin offs and a reboot.
Gavin Powell
He's a lot more durable than a human, but he still usually faints when he gets hit with anything that would poof. certainly not over-powered or "insane" his durability just feels natural in the show. it would be weird if he needed to go to the hospital after every fight.
Xavier Roberts
>Steven's gem is a Diamond. Bismuth invented the Breaking Point and according to her its the only weapon capable of shattering a Diamond. Ah yes, the breaking point which is a sharp metal stick.
That was back then, this is now. His bubble took on an explosion that destroyed Beach City and he took on that huge punch. Hell, even when his powers were down, all she could do was make his nose bleed a little.
Juan Moore
just shoot him in the face
Colton Hughes
does SU's TV rating allow nosebleeds from violence? I thought blood was only possible because it was "the movie"
John Stewart
>super speed Does he have that? >energy constructs Aren't they kinda limited?
Jaxson Thomas
Possibly but if we exclude feats because of rating, many durability feats would be ignored. Superman? Only took on a planet crushing explosion because he can’t show blood.
Sebastian Ramirez
>>indestructible shield that shits the most breakable "indestructible" shield ever. I bet one good punch from a regular trained human being would at least crack it
Sounds right. Swear to god if he gets his own Kuro.
Hudson Perry
he's pretty much broken, yes
Asher Thompson
Pretty sure she CCed him by smashing it into his face.
Jeremiah Morgan
No, it's concentrated hydraulic press memes with a revolutionary flair.
Nathan Carter
>Does he have that? He can run like, sorta fast. He has Captain America speed, if Cap was a kid.
Lincoln Smith
I mean obviously he is not a speedster but he moves pretty quick.
Alexander Green
You're confusing his bubble for his shield.
His bubble is as durable as the plot needs it to be. Some episodes it can tank a harpoon gun, others it breaks from a few punches.
Oliver Brooks
Considering hes actually a gem goddess i see no problem.
Kayden Wright
Super speed starts at "Faster than a Speeding Bullet" and ends at, "Time is my Bitch."
Elijah Ramirez
Well we admittedly just don’t see much, his reaction time is pretty good in a fight and he does kinda have flying.
Matthew Ward
Okay, but I'm arguing semantics here.
Jace Cruz
Lapis could control the world's oceans so Steven busting planets wouldn't be that big of a jump
Oliver Green
Maybe “fast as a speeding bullet”? Is that a thing?
Christian Phillips
Getting a nose bleed is the most this cartoon can get away in terms of violence towards children
Steven is just a normal human at that point, and considering how easily Spinel can lift a human and the CGs, she could have harmed him much more
Ayden Johnson
Do I have to write a greentext putting him in his place? How many have we had so far?
Charles Anderson
You honestly think that Steven can squeeze through the sound barrier?
Jason Moore
You think she was holding back? Do you even know her?
Jose Lee
The problem with the ones we have is that they're too generic. Steven doesn't care about getting hurt or feeling uncomfortable, but he cares about his friends.
Honestly, they don't go far enough. I want Steven to have his facets filed down slowly while he watches his friends get dissolved in weak acid in stages. Immortals are basically built for bad end garbage.
Camden Adams
Eh, could go for a break. They’re starting to feel less special. Once you see one, you see them all.
Ryan Perez
He appeared as a blur once. Maybe?
Jose Gutierrez
You're right, I'll do one experimental one as a 'goodbye' present.
>SU is technically Althist >Even if the 'lore' is a deep as a puddle >Apparently WWII never happened... Meaning that WWI did, ended with the rise of Fascism, yet the Eurasian and Pacific wars never became one war effort, meaning... Oh no... The Gems are fucking dead.
