steven punking spinel was great though, it validated the timeskip by actually showing some improvement
Jaxson Hall
>But a bit more two sided action
Holy fuck, this.
It's almost like 5% of fights that actually feel like this but usually it's something like Stronger Than You where it's a gradual overtake to the antagonist of the episode, they really just need to start utilizing the gems like they're ACTUALLY 6000+ years of experience fighters.
Christian Sanders
It could unironically be the best action show of all time if they were willing to show some action

Sebastian Torres
are we gonna have steven universe Z now?
Noah Bennett
The reasons Steven does not fight back is because his powers do not lend to direct 1v1 combat. He is a tank/cleric. His powers include a shield, barriers, and healing. This is practically no offensive power. Unlike Goku or Naruto or whoever, he CANT fight back unless he fuses with someone else. That’s why whenever he fights, he has to win through “empathy.” It has been proven that Steven has empathy powers: he can feel empathy for anyone and make anyone feel empty for him or the earth (similar to how Blue can alter one’s emotional state.) Think of his empathy powers as a DOT spell from a video game. He has to stall with his defensive abilities long enough for his DOT (in this case people call it Talk no Jutsu) to finish off his opponent. People see this as lame, but in reality it’s just another way of defeating an enemy. (Also Note, the amount of enemies one SU that lose to Talk no Jutsu is overhyped. He could not defeat any Monster Gems, Jasper, the Ruby Squad, Holly Blue, Aquamarine, nor Emerald with Talk no Jutsu. Even Peridot was poofed before being redeemed. The only ones beat this way were the cluster and the Diamonds).

All these redemptions would work if Steven beat their ass first and talked later. Lapis, the Diamonds and Spinel should have been pummeled to the ground first, and once they aren’t a threat, THEN they should be talked down.

The problem is he didn't stand a chance against any of them. Spinel maybe they could have pulled something back, but Lapis never entered the fight, she was kicking the shit out of them with water clones.

Tried to drown children, stole water from Earth, broke Greg´s leg, was part of the fusion monstrosity that was Malechite and left Peridot homeless. She´s a fucking bitch and the fact you think she didn´t do anything wrong proves you´re a delusional Lapisfag.
>Peridot
She´s the only character who had a good redemption arc, which is why I didn´t include her.
>the Diamonds were an evil spacefaring empire and he made them completely disband their army and start treating other lifeforms with respect.
Only because he made them have peace about their dead sister. That was the only conflict Steven solved, and apparently it was enough to convince those dumb fucks to change their perspective on lives. And even so, the Diamonds got away with all the planetary destruction and Cluster experiments they made. They suffered no punishment whatsoever, and that´s fucked up.
>He had Spinel turn off of her injector and go become a better person.
The first time was fine. The second time Spinel broke the injector by accident after Steven made her cry. Apparently the mental health of someone planning to murder the earth is more important than the earth itself. Steven was a fucking dumbass who said "I´m going alone" instead of going to defeat her with all his healed friends.
I don´t want this to be a shonen, but it sucks that the show glorifies horrible people for the sake of making the audience feel good. The heroes are weak fucks who´s only defense mechanism is their leader being a kind boy who loves everyone. The Crystal Gems are terrible fighters, the B team barely does anything and Earth isn´t prepared to protect itself from any alien invasion. I want characters to at least TRY to become better defenders of Earth beyond "I wanna help my enemies".
Point is, the heroes are terrible at their jobs, and making them ONLY win by talking makes them pathetic.

Joseph Gomez
>I agree it's an absurd message from the writers, but in universe Steven himself doesn't have much choice.
But then the writers should at least TRY and make the characters better fighters. They can get to the same endings if they want to, but we are now at a point where the heroes ONLY win by talking because they have no other recurses. It´s pathetic, especially after the first 2 seasons where they at least tried to set defenses and used every resource they had to fight. But after S2, everyone is a dumbass. Garnet saw a Ruby leave to HW to inform about what they saw, and instead of panicking about an oncoming invasion, the CGS did nothing. So when Aquamarine and Topaz showed up, they deserved to win.
And right after that, they learned nothing. They made some plans to protect Beach City from invasions, but that didn´t go anywhere and those plans didn´t include TRAINING THE DEFENDERS OF THE TOWN.
The show is accidentally telling you that pacifism makes people weak to the point of depending on the kindness of strangers.

He doesn´t have to break them. But he has to put his foot down to show he means business.
Spinel came to Earth to kill everything for petty revenge. And instead of beating her down and THEN talking to her about her feelings, Steven doesn´t do anything to stop her on their final showdown and literally hands her a happy ending after spending the last 24 hours planning to kill him. No consequences whatsoever. Y
Honestly, I wouldn´t be surprised if this leads to more gems trying to kill Steven so he can solve their emotional problems. The fucker is basically asking for it.

Mason Nelson
Not that user, but to be fair, the plot was set up so Steven couldn't fight Spinel. She had to be convinced to turn the injector off, he couldn't stop it by beating her up. This works as a self contained story, but when it's the way everything is solved even in the series it kind of sucks. The fact that Steven doesn't fight despite the fact that gems can't even be hurt unless their gem is hit is fucking retarded. Any other character with a no-kill rule has to actually juggle life and death if they're fighting, but Steven doesn't have to worry about that and he still doesn't fight.

Are you fucking stupid? Her redemption arc was being trapped on earth and just deciding "oh I like this now"
>They suffered no punishment whatsoever, and that´s fucked up.
Not everything is about punishment, it's about change. The world would be objectively worse off if he just tried to fucking stab them or shattered them or some shit. He stopped a space empire and you're upset that he didn't also attack them just for the sake of it.
>instead of going to defeat her with all his healed friends.
Because it worked, and he was right, and she was just someone who'd been hurt and abandoned and felt worthless and as it turns out talking to someone like that is better than getting your friends and going to beat them up?
And the CGs had to go save the people of Beach City. Because Steven isn't retarded like you and isn't going to put pummeling someone over the safety of everyone in town.
>glorifies horrible people for the sake of making the audience feel good
You're fucking stupid. If the show was glorifying them Steven wouldn't need to be making them change into better people you mongoloid.
>The Crystal Gems are terrible fighters
This is wrong
>Earth isn´t prepared to protect itself from any alien invasion
That's what the CGs have done. The Earth is safe and they stopped an empire of incredibly advanced aliens from invading.
>Point is, the heroes are terrible at their jobs
Yet, they won, this time, last time. and every time
>making them ONLY win by talking makes them pathetic.
The fact you feel as though talking is anything but the most desirable method of conflict resolution is only really evident of your sub 70 IQ. Go get in a spear fight with some equally braindead african. The normal people will be coming up with reasonable solutions to build a productive society and create lasting peace
Chase Garcia
>She had to be convinced to turn the injector off, he couldn't stop it by beating her up.
And yet the injector was stopped not because Spinel called it off (in the final fight), but because she just happened to land a hit with an impact that broke the injector without actually destroying the earth. Spinel didn´t call it off, so Steven didn´t need her.
Nolan Green
>On Earth, once entertainers have served their purpose, they are then forced into an iso-cube, and shot into space.

Not being the best of friends with the main characters doesn't make her a bitch.

Elijah Flores

Elijah Campbell

The problem is less that Steven resolves conflicts without fighting, and more so that it feels completely cheap. It's not believable for Steven, a 14 year old child, to completely convince three matriarchs to dissolve their empire and change their entire ideology they've had for thousands of years in just a few minutes. Real people are not this easy.
Dylan Torres
SU’s entire concept is about escapism, that’s Rebecca’s thing
Anthony Collins
>because she just happened to land a hit with an impact that broke the injector without actually destroying the earth
That part of the movie honestly made no sense. All of the poison left the injector, but it wasn't even enough to destroy a small town let alone the whole planet. Steven was still consistent though because he was told he couldn't remove it by force and that was the logic he was operating on.
Cooper Cruz
>connie develops an inadequacy fetish towards gems

Adam Gutierrez
>Are you fucking stupid? Her redemption arc was being trapped on earth and just deciding "oh I like this now"
So this straight up shows you´re a moron with terrible taste that didn´t even get the point of a basic redemption arc. All your points are instantly worthless, but let´s take a look.
>He stopped a space empire and you're upset that he didn't also attack them just for the sake of it.
So I guess it´s ok to leave the genocidal dictators still being leaders because they´re really sorry? I guess if Hitler had given up and apologized, everyone should have just let him be. Why put him in jail? He apologized and stopped his evil reign. No need for punishment.
Every criminal should be punished somewhat. Because it´s a kids show, people don´t need to die. But at the very least they should be given SOME punishment. The Diamonds could have been banished and new, more competent gems could have taken charge, but nope. They´re still the leaders and suffer no consequence for intergalactic genocide.
>Because it worked, and he was right
Only because he remembered a stupid thing at the last minute. He was about to die.
>Because Steven isn't retarded like you and isn't going to put pummeling someone over the safety of everyone in town
Yes, how dare I suggest putting a stop to someone who´s trying to commit genocide. She´s a sad individual, and that makes it ok. Just because she´s sympathetic doesn´t mean she isn´t a criminal who should make up for what she did.
>This is wrong
The crystal gems lost to a psychotic bitch who didn´t move for 6000 YEARS and had 10 minutes to prepare herself for her attack. They suck, deal with it.
>That's what the CGs have done. The Earth is safe and they stopped an empire of incredibly advanced aliens from invading.
No, they didn´t. STEVEN did. The rest only stalled for time.
>Yet, they won, this time, last time. and every time
Because of Steven´s bullshit talk powers. Not because they are good warriors.
Benjamin Ward

William Howard
What is a realistic way to stop a matriarchal space alien rock empire? What are your qualifications on the subject?
All the stuff in the injector spilled out onto Beach City instead of spreading through the entire earth, and the liquid only destroyed organic matter, plants, animals, insects, humans, and, all those things in beach city were moved safely out of the affected area, which is why Steven sent the gems to get everyone out. And, it did destroy beach city, they had a montage of the rebuilding at the end over the next few months

Bitch, this is a fantasy show about alien warriors with magical weapons and powers who DID fight to defend their planet in the first 2 seasons and stopped after the third one. It´s not the real world, nobody real is going to get hurt.
Also, there´s nothing wrong with fighting to defend yourself, winning against anyone who hurts you and THEN talk about it. You seem to think fighting equals killing. Nobody has to die, but people who threaten you shouldn´t be rewarded with free therapy.

Lucas Campbell

You realize that was exactly what they were going to do? Like, at several times during WW2 was there legitimate talk of letting him keep some of the territories he claimed for the sake of ending the war? The reason this didn't happen is because Hitler thought he could get more before stopping.
War is the result of diplomats failing. The consequence of when "talk no jutsu" fails.
>They´re still the leaders and suffer no consequence for intergalactic genocide.
Because Steven isn't the fucking leader of Homeworld, what Steven did is an actual solution that would just result in another Gem War like before you fucking retard.
>Yes, how dare I suggest putting a stop to someone who´s trying to commit genocide.
He did. yes. He literally stopped her from committing genocide.
>No, they didn´t. STEVEN did. The rest only stalled for time.
Steven didn't exist when they stopped homeworld the first time, and steven didnt do anything when they came back in season 1
>Because of Steven´s bullshit talk powers.
You're upset you can't communicate in a reasonable manner. You're sad, you're angry, and you want to hit something, and because you know you can't you want the cartoon to do it. And that's real fucking pathetic my dude.
Lucas Turner
I know right. You’re such a goofball.
Landon Fisher
Why is spinel such a gemcel?
Ian Morales
> It´s not the real world, nobody real is going to get hurt.
Good writing is writing your character like their world is real to them.
>Also, there´s nothing wrong with fighting to defend yourself
Except you're not talking about that, because there's nothing to defend himself from anymore, because he solved his problems by talking already. Instead of instantly resorting to violence. But the problem is solved and you still want violence. So what you want isn't for Steven to defend himself, you want him to attack someone, and if that's what you want you can just go... literally anywhere else.

>You realize that was exactly what they were going to do? Like, at several times during WW2 was there legitimate talk of letting him keep some of the territories he claimed for the sake of ending the war? The reason this didn't happen is because Hitler thought he could get more before stopping.
But they wheren´t doing that happily, they wanted to do that for the sake of saving others. If SU was telling us "sometimes, the bad guy has to be let go because it´s the only way to protect others, even if it sucks" I would have no problem. But the show expects me to like the Diamonds, and to find their goofy nature funny.
>Because Steven isn't the fucking leader of Homeworld
He´s a Diamond. He has that responsibility. And he spent 2 years going around space liberating colonies. He´s a leader.
>Steven didn't exist when they stopped homeworld the first time
Yeah, but they had an army dumbass. I´m saying the current CGS is an awful team. God, you´re dumb.
>steven didn't do anything when they came back in season 1
He fucking freed the crystal gems after he was captured and didn´t try to "talk down" Jasper or Peridot, because he knew they were a threat. Steven used to act smart, but he doesn´t anymore.
>You're upset you can't communicate in a reasonable manner. You're sad, you're angry, and you want to hit something, and because you know you can't you want the cartoon to do it. And that's real fucking pathetic my dude.
Projecting much? It just seems to me you get really mad when people criticize your favorite cartoon. I´m just criticizing what I think is bad. You seem to be especially pissed about someone complaining about a cartoon.

WHY ISN'T SPINEL FUCKING REAL

You are calling something that was objectively less effective smart, because you're stupid.

Isaiah Gray
Yes but you fail to realize that with Steven's Bubble, the same one he was launched at Blue Diamond during the Battle for the Temple, Steven was able to influence its shape to turn it into a Spike-Ball. That's pretty offensive to me. In fact, lets look at the things Steven has done with his powers?
>Spike-Ball
>Bubble- Boxing Gloves
>Shield -- he used it to cut, he could use it again
Combine this with the boxing glove changed into a Spiked-Glove or even just a single pokey bit, and Steven could smash or bash with the shield and gut-punch anyone with a protected hand.
Your argument isn't just invalid, its fucking stupid because it ignores the times Steven has used his powers OFFENSIVELY.
Ian Hughes
>get half gem kid without killing your wife
at least be realistic

Yes please
Imagine pearl looking like slenderman with a plague doctor mask

There is a scene she does like:

Yes, she's a true and blue hero.

Lincoln Roberts
No more pain, no more trauma, live your days carefree as you’re exempt from the genocide.
Brody Perez
Thing is, Earth entertainers can retire and live the rest of their lives without being an entertainer. Spinel's whole existence revolved around entertaining and being denied of that turns her into a fucking crazy yandere
Cooper Adams
>exempt from genocide
No. Glass the Gems Space War Now.
Spinel gets the bullet too
Jordan Kelly
I was thinking she be more of a giant bird monster or something
Jackson Rogers
I liked that even at her angstiest she was still consistently nice to Steven.
I just wish that they had an episode that addressed the elephant in the room regarding the other gems leaving her in a mirror.
Eli Fisher
Henry Gray
You're gonna give me nightmares with shit like this. I'd never abandon Spinel
Aiden Garcia
>Lapis had to hold Jasper at the bottom of the ocean for months because he couldn't do anything
Don’t be retarded. She did that because she was angry at Jasper and wanted to make her suffer. The CGS could have taken Jasper then.
Also: smarter doesn’t equal stronger. I’m not saying he was stronger back then, but his actions where less stupid
Liam Perry
No wonder it looked familiar
Christian Murphy

Alexander Martinez
My favorite thing about OP's pic is that Steven is clearly giving it everything he's got while Spinel looks like she got struck by a mild inconvenience.
Brayden Ward
I think it’s a DBZ thing

Jonathan Brown
The show really needs that big baddy that is evil to the core and not just misunderstood. Where is all the universe ending/conquering villains at?
Connor Harris
Why does it need that?
Josiah Martin
Because everyone being friends doesn't make sense. Avatar was a pacifist show but it knew that Ozai deserved to rot in a cell for his crimes. White and the other diamonds deserved the same.
I get it's a cartoon but Homeworld is worse than the fire nation, at least they didn't make rape monsters like the shards/cluster. Forgiving them is too much when they are probably the worst dictatorship in Yea Forums history
Logan Cooper
>redrawing an iconic dragon ball panel with this shit
i feel disgusted.

SU is all about escapisn and a villain like that would destroy the theme to solve a superficial issue.

Ayden Green
Angel Gomez
What a baby
Nicholas Anderson
they literally show up at steven's house begging for him to come back because they're bored in under 24 hours
that's...clever actually
spinel does what pink wants because she knows the codes of being a friend and pink largely followed them. unlike a pearl, if she wanted to 'correct' your behavior, there is no restraining bolt preventing her from murder
Christopher Perez
I think it’s less “Homeworld is forgiven.” and more Steven is emotionally manipulating the Diamonds into not being monsters by using their affection for their dead sister against them.
Jaxson Cooper
>emotionally manipulating
Matthew Williams
ian jones quartey liked a tweet stating something similar, so yeah probably.
Zachary Hernandez
I just saw the movie and spinel deserves all the love

Did she kill herself after losing the only thing that made her feel valid and strong?
Parker Hall
Dont know if you know but it's what Ricky says in trailer park boys
Ryan Perry
GUYS SPINELS SONG IS MAKING ME SAD AGAIN
Parker Hughes
>>spinel is mad because she was lonely for a very long time
Spinel is suffering because she was abandoned and forgotten and she's lashing out in pain and shame. It's not that hard to understand.
Gavin Walker
Would you let Steven emotionally manipulate you?
Angel Murphy
just to reiterate, she did have a cameo.... as a memorable villain. I bet she just wasn't in beach city at the time
Austin Miller
yeah the exposition was about as on the nose as it could ever be, but Spinel makes the movie, she makes it all come together
I was annoyed that Steven didnt just teleport to the daimonds immediately and the end shows why they postponed that
Blake Kelly
Don’t see why not
Jason Davis
It's very easy to understand and also very underwhelming
Christian Butler
>sad neet loser
Steven: "You can do eet!"
>self-actualized outgoing person
Carson Robinson
You really didnt like the movie?
Id be right up with you 3 years ago when I had every complaint about the show
But the movie had alot of heart
Zachary Taylor
It's perfectly sympathetic and sold very well by her voice actress. If you're underwhelmed it is only because you raised your expectations too high.
Adrian Baker

Cooper Allen
Doesn’t he need his power to transport to the diamonds or something, though? Then again, I guess he could just easily get the other Crystal Gems to help him get there and asked for diamonds’ help so you have the point.

Joseph Mitchell
Sarah Stiles is a voice acting goddess
Evan Fisher
Aang doesn't even deal with Ozai post-defeat unlike Steven who's completely hands on with the Diamonds. If anything, Zuko is more of a protagonist than Aang is.
Ryan Wilson
Legitimately wonder what the childhood of people who do shit like this was like.
Dylan Kelly
Liam Perry
>If anything, Zuko is more of a protagonist than Aang is.
that is not how narrative works user.
Connor Richardson
I was wondering the same thing.
Steven really is just like his mother.
John Cruz
I'm just saying, it makes Ozai into just some guy Aang had to defeat. There's nothing personal there otherwise.
Jonathan Kelly
Jasper left to find the Ruby Squad. Then they all moved into Beach City and plastered the boardwalk with posters for their 'NO STEVENZ ALOUD' group therapy sessions.
John Collins
it actually does
active character > passive character
William Ortiz
literally everything zuko does in s1-2 is reacting to aang you brainlet
Adrian Evans

That's not how it works.

The way her voice gets noticeably more heartbroken is painful.
Blake Wood
A lot of things about Spinel are just so damn great that I sometimes forget she’s a SU character. I’m worried about her comeback if she were to make an appearance in season 6
Kayden Campbell
Spinel gets over an hour to shine whereas most SU content is 11 minutes a pop. It really shows what they can do with more time.
Anthony Brown
>"Why do you have that?"
>"What, I'm just supposed to leave it on the ground?"
That entire exchange was retarded
Luke Garcia
How would that solve the problem? He said why he had it on him, it's Spinel who overreacted.
Charles James
I wish here was a little more time between her hearing the message and the whole movie happening, don't know how. But going crazy and getting the equipment to realize the plan was a bit too quick
Aiden Barnes
I think Yellow disbanding her armies is what let Spinel get the stuff. It's on-brand for a cartoony character to just pull items out of their pants like a Loony Tunes character at least.
Michael Sanders
Isaac Young
It does. Maybe if the show was 22-minutes per episode it would’ve been better?
Juan Gray
Spinel is shit and so is SU and this movie
It's just continuing the same mistakes the show made
John James
But then Steven would just be a fat, ugly Nanoha.
Nathan Foster
Ur invited discord.gg
Juan Hill
Oh absolutely. Even the crew says 15 minutes would've been the sweet spot.
Yeah that must be why even Yea Forums liked it. Face it user, you're alone here. Or at the very least in the same company as those losers on youtube who make thirty minute + rant videos about stuff they don't like. That's your people, so enjoy. You chose them.

What kind of games would you introduce Spinel to?
Ayden Cooper

Is this how the Diamonds sold Pink on Spinel?
Jonathan Gray
I liked the movie
Elijah Ramirez
Cut him some slack, the kid looked like death warmed over and was trying to pick his words carefully.
Though, I do wish they had him say something better, sooner. Didn't even have to change spinel's reaction, her being irrational is more believable than Steven forgetting how to talk when it is his main tool of the trade.
