If my new best friend had ptsd about being left alone for thousands of years and being replaced I think I wouldn't tell her that I'd be right back, huh, Steven?
@@NeptuneRblx9 Steven literally befriended a crazy water rock that tried to drown him, a green triangular weeb that almost expose him and his friends to some crazy giant leaders that can blow up a planet under 0.1 seconds, and trained with a suicidal Cheeto.
Spinel: *Reseted his friends, take away his powers and brought a drill that destroys all organic life.* Steven: *Only ignores her* Ppl; *"WhY iS hE iGnOrInG HeR?"* Me: *OH, YEAH I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHY HE IS TREATING HER LIKE THIS?????*
@Ty The Great You mean Peridot? Or Lapis, Nephrite, Bismuth, the Ruby's, Jasper? Everyone tried to kill Steven/the Crystal Gems but only Spinel gets treated like this
@@sebastianm8051 to be fair, most of them were following the diamonds orders. Spinel decided, on her own accord, to destroy Earth and leave Steven there alone to get back at someone who was no longer alive.
@Frost Flurry That moment when you forget that Spinel is still responsible for her actions and pointing that out as well as defending Steven is completely valid. He is not in the wrong for how he behaved, he's human (that is to say is not perfect), not to mention super tired at this point. Nor is he a psychologist so it's not his fault that he didn't know Spinel would react the way she did. Not to mention the original comment is about Steven and Spinel so why would they bring up Pink Diamond?
@@fruitiecutie3857 Yeah but I meant in a metaphor kind of way. Spinel's memory loss, not knowing why she's afraid of being left, could be a metaphor for the effect trauma has on you. Sorry for the late reply btw.
@@iclynnx that is kind of true. i remember that one scene in Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure where Zhan Tiri shows Cassandra her past and said something along the lines of “Sometimes your most traumatic events are harder to remember”
spinel totally captures what it’s like being the comic relief friend whose purpose is only to make other people feel better and then ending up alone and ignored when you’re suffering the most because nobody wants you around unless you’re serving your purpose edit: jesus christ are y’all okay
Dude, this is completely like struck me I don't even know that this things have the definition I'm always asking myself like maybe I'm not try enough or I'm not funny enough like Idk anymore or maybe I'm just clowning to much to the point people think I'm always positive and never had bad day or something but the things that hurt me the most is they forgot about my birthday and then celebrated the others friends in my group of circles and just you know asking me to be there to celebrate this birthday party I don't expect much like just a saying happy birthday will be enough but no, nothing I'm like am I even worth it anymore to y'all, I'm crying right now just write this down and I know I'm not important at all especially in the RU-vid comments lmao but I just want to vent I guess Idk to whom I have to say it just want to gone and I say this to them but then they say they care about me and don't want me to go like come on so selfish I thought but even after that Idk why I still love them it's just hurt me but I don't know I still care about them
Yeah totally get it its so hard to find good people that truly accept you and it sucks coz when people dont which almost all the time they end up settling with people that make them want to try to get their attention. I'm tryna find a way to not need attention anymore but sometimes I still question if I'm doing it for myself or so people would realize now that I dont need them how much better I've gotten. I dont want to have bad intentions I don't even truly know what mines are
I think a lot of us can relate to Spinel more than any other character in way. A good portion of us has kinda lived through this.. It’s nice to see it represented in a show and addressed for once. We all hate being that one person that gets trampled over and forgotten, used and abandoned. It’s even worse when you still can’t stop caring for those people despite all of this..
I was that as a kid and it still affects me as an adult where I have mixed trust issues with people that even the people I do trust I worry if I’m being too much or they just may up and ghost me
I think he was more worried about the implications of his jacket being damaged than the jacket itself. It meant that the sludge kills organic things, so Steven was realizing how bad of a situation Earth was in.
And then Stephen "fixed" it by just giving Spinel to the Diamonds so she and the Diamonds couldn't bother him anymore. Stephen really became just like his mom in this movie and I'm glad the SU:F show addressed it.
Yeah i think that was one of the concepts because this was just to get the spinoff started ,which kinda consist’s of Steven working on that .He even has his moms pink tantrums and outburst when he couldn’t get his way .
If you pay attention at the very end of the movie. When Spinel about to go to the diamonds. White diamond said"Steven since this planet is so disgusting. We just Spinel and we can leave you here on Earth." Steven: Really 😃🤗 Spinel:uh Steven really wants to get rid of her The moment that white diamond said
I wish she would've seen more of her. Honestly, with Steven feeling like everybody was leaving him behind, she's the one he should've gone to. She understands that.
@@jermikefavors8344 I don't think he intended to get rid of her. I think he was happy for a chance at her finding three new companions. He even asked afterwards if she was comfortable with it.
She definitely reminds me of the "that kid" cliche. Overly hyper and annoying, knowing no boundaries, but is actually a wonderful person that might not know how to socialize like others. Anyway, 15/10 would adopt and be best friends, just need proper communication and boundaries.
The argument that she tried to kill them is okay, but he forgave dozens of gems for that before. Also, I mean, she was abandoned for 6,000 years when she was designed as a playmate for pink.
If I'm being honest here, spinel has one of the saddest backstory's of a cartoon character. It genuinely made me feel bad for spinel when I watched the movie.
Pink diamond was worse, she was abused by the diamonds, they made her look not worth it, they would trap her in a tower for god know how many years, sh did hurt lots of gems, but if you look at her at the end, she is the best with character development, she was that childish kid (from the abuse) to this majestic being.
@@bedebe1 “A chronic condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. ADHD often begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood. It may contribute to low self-esteem, troubled relationships, and difficulty at school or work.”
... this mirror is scaring me. Turn it off. In all honesty, this was the exact same for me. Except I had two friends! But one wanted to play with a different friend all the time. And the other strung me along as if I was still her friend when really she wanted to be with the *popular kids.* So basically, I had my own pink diamond! YAY! trauma is just *so exciting* NEVER know where it's gonna pop up next! Anyway, Spinel's new look after finding out what happened is such a fucking mood.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder. It effects the frontal lobe of the brain by not allowing dopamine and other chemicals to enter that part of the brain. The frontal lobe is where all your executive functioning is processed. Executive functioning meaning prioritization, motivation, organization, impulsivity, certain aspects of memory…basically all the skills normal people identify as signs of a responsible adult or a well adjusted/behaved child. It’s genetic and often gets misdiagnosed with Asperger’s/high functioning autism and/or bipolar disorder. They share some similarities, but you can have combinations of all those conditions. I have ADHD, generalized anxiety, and severe depression. I definitely identify with Spinel. ADHD is one of those conditions that can affect your life in a lot of ways people don’t expect. It’s very easy for authority figures and peers to assume certain behaviors are intentional out of spite or laziness. We often get labeled as having poor work ethic and questionable morals. Usually those behaviors can actually be attributed to symptoms and aren’t reflections of who we are as people. We tend to be absentminded. We may be late for work often, forget birthdays, have trouble with social cues, impulse buy and forget to pay the bills, have trouble with deadlines…We feel emotions more intensely so sometimes we can be overly expressive or have trouble regulating ourselves emotionally. My brain has trouble differentiating between foreground and background so in a crowd I may as well be deaf because everything is the same volume. I’ve learned to read lips to help me focus on what people are saying. Because of all these various factors, people with ADHD tend to be both loners and comic relief. We’re impulsive, entertaining and enthusiastic, but we also easily piss people off and often times we have no clue why they’re angry and avoiding us. It’s likely a symptom that has been mistaken for an intentional offense. Spinel’s mid-fight rants and anxiety driven paranoia are what get me crying. In grade school getting me to trust you just enough to get a favor out of me and then publicly dropping me became a sport for the other girls. My parents were old fashioned and assumed it was because I hit puberty too early. A big chest meant I was fat and ugly girls aren’t going to have friends so it was my fault I couldn’t lose weight at 9 and I deserved everything that I got. That was my family trying to help. I can recall times when I’ve actually said some of Spinel’s lines almost word for word over the course of 30 plus years lol. I’m 43 and I start sobbing during Spinel’s breakdowns lol.
@@blumeeii That's why Spinel deserved such a better ending. I keep wanting to make a video about it, like a true ADHD f*ck, I keep putting it off despite writing a script lol.
@@mariodimitriadis but how would he be surprised even tho peridot told him that the posin kills life and the ground is like craking up because of the posin
0:55 I love how she gets genuinely mad and upset when Steven tries to leave her. She's experienced someone important to her, leaving her side forever, and she's afraid that will happen again. Amazing.
I think they mean that 'she deserves to get genuinely mad and upset when Steven tries to leave her'. Like she deserves to be mad. Probably? Or so I hope? ...
Spinel having nostalgia in a nutshell : Steven : “brb y’all” Spinel : “I’m coming” Steven : “No” Spinel : *_”Then die in a hole”_* Steven : “fine come on”
@@spinelstevenuniverse805 OKAY FIRST OF ALL HEAR THIS If pink took Spinel with her in the first place she would have been traumatized by the war and could have died. Second of all if Pink returned Spinel she would have been shattered because if gems serve no purpose they can and will get shattered. So if pink returns Spinel, that would be a red flag and they would definitely kill her. WHERE THE HELL IS SPINEL SUPPOSED TO BE?!!! In the garden, where it is safe.
he has every right to be mad, centipeetle was just a corrupted gem who didnt know better. But that is irrelevant, steven has had to deal with this for so long and genuinely didnt think he would get his friends back. He has every right to be mad at her honestly.
*unknowingly sabotages that despite being the person who suggested the solution to have them relive crucial moments in their lives to bring them back which work
I had to watch the movie in separate blocks because of how uncomfortable it made me, the whole thing was just as you said, an emotional trainwreck quite literally. Actually the whole series made me remember a lot suppressed memories. My psychologist really wanted to see it after that.
I love Spinel, but Steven hasn’t learned about her past yet. All he knows her by is the gem that destroyed all of his friends memories. I feel like he’s sees her as just,, that, for most of the movie. He’s focusing on the main problem at hand. Steven learned her past and then once they fixed the whole injector problem. He really was gonna forget and be friends with her . I mean it took like three eps and a few song to do it with the diamonds.
why you say "It took 3 episodes" like it was a lot? It took an entire season to do the same with peridot, and i felt great! but with the diamonds... it felt forced and super easy.
@@tale7955 I think he meant it like it was quick? Because 'three episodes and a song' isn't a lot. They probably just mean that Steven forgives others quickly, so once he found out why Spinel did what she did and who she really was, he was quick to forgive her.
Yeah, I feel Like everyone keeps forgetting that. Sure, leaving spinel like he did wasn't nice, but he's also not perfect. Shocker, huh. He also has alot of things on his s mind and is trying to deal with this unprecedented situation. So, you can't completely blame him...
It’s so sad how the only time Spinel acts “obnoxious” or overly hyper is when Steven looks really sad or worried bc she wants him to feel better. I know they were trying to make her seem annoying and clingy but I love her. She’s literally baby
I don't think it's only that but also cause prior to Steven's knowledge of her past properly she attacked him n his friends so he didn't really trust her
Honestly though spinel deserves better than even Steven she saved his life and she doesn’t even get a thanks or a nod or anything Steven exposes: he cares more about his jacket than all his friends
this part is really crucial for the series, we can see here that as Steven grows up he gets more and more traits of his mom up to the point we get into Steven Universe: Future we can see Pinks actions from Steven
Spinel is litteraly the funny kid at school who's actually depressed EDIT: To the people replying "Oh, that's me", there's a good chance that you're absolutely not funny at all. Especially the people with Gacha pfp's. Holy shit, I wanted to say that for almost a year. EDIT 2: There's also a good chance you're not depressed, either. Usually, actual depressed people don't go on Steven Universe videos looking for attention.
Has anyone realized that after the garden, Steven started being nice to Spinel and ignored her the whole time before he ever knew about the garden incident?
Has anyone else noticed that Spinel caused this entire incident and Steven had more pressing matters to deal with like saving the entire planet and his friends?
@@lylehmm3983 , Did anyone notice that Spinel was literally singing about Pink Diamond and how she feels to Steven ? Thats right I heard this story over and over again gee its finally nice to meet her other friends ( Pink Diamond made no other friends besides on the island and its been centuries since other gem contact before she died .) , What did she say about me ? What did you do without me ? ( Spinel was untalked about and never mentioned about by any of them .. Even pearl was shocked that Spinel was alive ) and Steven is already aware how messed up his mother is . It wouldn't kill him to be kind and give attention to someone hurt by his mother .
I feel really bad when people call her a horrible character, because I sort of see myself in her. I often fear I’m becoming annoying to people, that they don’t like me anymore and when the opportunity comes, they’ll ditch me for another better friend, someone who isn’t so irritating. She’s always seen following Steven around like a dog, because she’s attached to him, so much to the fact that Steven gets tired of her. That’s exactly how I feel, I depend so much on one friend and hang around with just them, because I don’t have any other friends, and without them I’d be completely lonely, so much to the point that I feel they’re tired of me. I just wish people could cut spinel some slack :/ she’s a pretty grey character, just like pink.
Oh hun,u shouldn't feel like that,i'm sure your friends love you,everybody needs that 'spinel' friend,even if some people don't want to admit it. You're probably a really good friend,who wants your friends to be happy. But you must be happy too,you don't have to feel like that. I hope you can get over this problem because I'm sure you don't deserve to think what you said.
@@lovelyg7571 Thank you so much 💓 it's nice seeing people be so nice to me on RU-vid. I'm trying to meet new people, but I feel like I'm better off on the internet where people actually understand what I'm feeling ._.

@@brown-axolotl7244 Member back when Rose Quartz was a mostly good person like Steven, Garmet didn't always talk about fushion, and there was a "monter of the week" type formula with the corrupted gems?
Spinel: well look what I reeled in! Steven: My OrGaNiC jAcKeT! Spinel: wow ok no "thank you"? I literally just saved your life ungrateful f** your jacket I should've stayed in the garden
To be honest... if she would have stayed in the garden then the jacket wouldn't have been harmed. So it's her fault that Steven's precious organic jacket got hurt. That thing was more important than his whole family 😆
I understand Spinel was abandoned for *6000 years* ,but imagine a gem suddenly comes to your planet, destroys your happily ever after, erases the memories of 3 people who are REALLY important to you, almost destroys your entire planet, and all because of a mistake that wasn't yours. At the final moment he was indeed being a jerk, but at the beginning he was trying to get the memory of the gems back, and he didn't even know what happened to Spinel. He's definitively getting tired of fixing his mom's mistakes. At the end you can see this clearly, where he just wants his life to go back to normal as soon as possible so he can focus on, yet again, fixing the mistake Pink did. *But the organic jacket moment was just trashy, no excuse for that.*
I think the "organic jacket" symbolizes how much of a threat the injector was. How it easily burned his earth made jacket I think he was thinking what the injector would do too the earth
Her story is so sad...imagine thinking you have a friend that you're making happy but in reality they just want you gone so they just leave you still for thousands of years only to find out that they have new friends and gone...
@@notusingthisacc.9329 (I dont ship them together...really I dont ship anyone is Su like Lapidot or whatever,unless its official, then maybe I will just have to live with that) but there is a video saying on how Spinel could be shipped with Steven on how they act, not by ages. For example:Spinel before becoming evil, or rejuvenated acts like a six year old, wich would be weird if people ship them like that..but evil Spinel acts more like...Steven's age perhaps? But of course it's your opinion, just dont go hate on people who ship them...(not that you would,just saying)
@@uttamkarmaker9102 Peridot came in around season 2 and once she was a crystal gem she got her share of good episodes and once lapis came back and guh it around to appreciating Peridot they got really good screen time even if it wasnt a lot, and when Lapis left for like 5 episodes Peridot still got good screentime then in the Diamond Days, *_all_* the gems got screen time, even Bismuth.
This is such and interesting concept, because on one hand she's cleverly innocent and you can't help but feel bad for her because of what happened; but at the same time she's so clingy and forces herself to be the center of attention so much that it's hard to actually /like/ her.
Pink: Can you imagine running a colony this dull!? Spinel: * Cough * hey Pink I was wondering if you forgot your friend who was made to give you entertainment?
I believe in the theory that Pink Diamond didn't want to leave Spinel behind, but felt like she had to in order to focus on running a colony in order to impress the other Diamonds. It's obvious the other Diamonds had made Pink feel miserable and unimportant to the point why overtime she looks so miserable around Spinel, no matter how hard Spinel tried to make her happy. I wish I could've heard the conversation between Blue, Yellow and Pink in Spinel's flashback, but to me it looks like they're telling her something along the lines of "You need to FOCUS on getting this colony finished, don't let anything distract you, understand?", Kinda like the weird gem version of confiscating a comfort item from someone in school to work on a test or something. It's also the reason why Pink was afraid of the Diamonds catching her goofing around with the Amethysts on Earth with Pearl. Pink still wants to have fun and good off and I really wish Pink didn't leave Spinel behind, and maybe she considered getting her back before or during the war, but at least in my eyes I understand why it happened.
Spinel is a great character, Spinel STANS on the other hand are the worst. Edit: I absolutely love that this four-month-old comment still gets regular replies. Every notification feels like a text from a friend you only have one thing in common with, but it's a thing you can discuss endlessly, so it's cool.
@@squidgy2247 Oh, no, nothing like that! When you "stan" someone, you're saying that you defend, support, and agree with their every action. It basically means that you believe that they don't ever do wrong. Spinel is a great character BECAUSE everything she did when she was a villain was _awful_ and _despicable_ and she *still* changed because she herself was disgusted by what she had become and made the decision to work to be better in the end. To *_stan_* her is a _huge_ disservice to such a character, and such a fanatically written one at that! I don't want anyone to ever literally stan her!! (People jokingly saying that they do as a way to express that she's their favorite, though, is totally different, but depending on the context it can still come off a bit inappropriately.) That's all!
The reason of why I love her it's because she reminds me of myself lol. That one friend who doesn't know how to interact with other people without looking creepy and scare the rest at first, but is actually a cinnamon roll who is just afraid of being abandoned. *Aight, imma head out*
@{Pink * Diamond} well that's you're own opinion, she is kinda childish and by implications isn't a person who understands how to be a friend besides being there, being funny and playing games
All these comments dissing Steven xD he has every right to focus on getting his friends back to get Spinels memories, they're on a time crunch to save the Earth.
I love how this movie depicts people that just want to be friends with others, but everyone else treats them like crap just because they think their enthusiasm and friendliness is "annoying".
I mean, Spinel is a bit annoying, she's clingy, loud, obnoxious and always out of tone, not to mention she is responsible for the planets endangerment.
As you can see. Spinel took nothing seriously. I mean when Steven literally almost *died* from her injector she had the audacity to make it a joke with a fishing rod. Someone who did take things seriously would freak out and quickly run to save him
Steven kinda shows that he's acting like his mother, if someone or something is of no use to him or he doesn't care about them as much,he doesn't want them around for a long period of time.
I feel like he's just too focused on getting his friends back. He puts this new friend aside to get his old ones back. Since Spinel did this, that would probably make him want to avoid her, too.
@memelord I understand that; I feel like people treat Spinel as baby way too much. What Spinel went through was terrible but that doesn't give her an excuse to act the way she did, and I agree that Steven isn't everyone's therapist.
Purple Violin I agree with you 100% fam. I love Spinel but it doesn’t excuse the fact she almost killed Steven and the Earth. She honestly needs help and Steven isn’t really a therapist
I like how everyone's blaming Steven for being selfish when he had bigger problems to deal with. Like 1 she tried to kill him and he didn't know about her past yet so off course he would ignore her
"bigger problem" you say well then having earth as the first colony and to act as a real diamond was "bigger" issue for pink diamond too in that case I don't blame pd either
@@jhsemoxitha3821 Thats not right. the difference is that Pink Diamond intentionally left spinel behind because she was exhausted of her and didn't want to "deal" with her anymore. Steven plans on helping her develop a life on earth but there kinda needs to be an earth to develop to first. Spinel is literally trying to play with him the whole time, never catching the hint that he needs to be focused on the task at hand.
@Useless channel because she was emotionally damaged after finding out she was standing in a garden for 6000 years waiting for Pink to come back, only to find out she was pretty much dead
Honestly tho steven was a kind of bad friend to spinel and only started to care when it involved her the injector and the world dying Afterwards steven is better
Milan Martinez true but she did kinda like... legit point a way that worked to bring his friends back and saved his life It’s more so that Steven always seemed to try and be a good guy and it’s weird to see him see people being actually bad and almost life taking
@@zerocrashmurilo She pretty much just watched him try to fix it and then when she gets an opportunity to be the center of attention she leaves off with the diamonds and leaves Steven to fix her mess.
Well this is just heartbreaking.. 😢 i sincerely hope that before Steven Universe officially ends we'll at least get to see her one last time legitimately happy.
Well don't forget that Steven is busy plus she did end the earth and take his friends away while Steven had no freaking clue why she was doing this in the first place
@@aymathest9816 Yes im aware of this. I didn't say she deserved Stevens unconditional attention and love, it was never his fault for what happened to her nor his place to fix that. I'm saying now that she redeemed herself and they resolved their conflict, she deserves to be happy.
