Strongly agree bro, I was like 13 and flipping by the dark feeling that the gems could be the bad guys sorta. We know now that is complex but the first feelings of being something hidden of Steven an us was amazing
Last year I watched Steven Universe for the first time and it became one of my favourite series ever. The deepness of the characters and their relatable struggles, the consept of gems and gem-powers, the music, the art style, the color palette, the action... pure love. As a new fan it's nice to see people are still making content about this series. :) Thank you for the video!
I’m lovin how I still see people creating videos abt SU! It’s great TV and ur analysis of the episodes that charted the show on a bigger path of possibilities in the eyes of younger us is so well done and relatable. ESPECIALLY Steven slapping the shades off of Garnet💀That stare struck fear into my 8 y/o self😭
yeah, these episodes were really where the show found its footing and started establishing the lore, theres alot of stuff back in season 1a that are contradicted by later stuff, but it's really just cuz the show hadn't fully hit its stride, plus it aired on cartoon network around the time where episodic shows were the norm and overarching stories were only barely starting out on cn (yes, shows like that have existed before AT but the norm on CN was episodic for the most part) so it was super cool for su to slowly get more deep and explore more lore and complex plot lines. id say mirror/ocean gem was where it really started, but then rose's scabbard was where it truly hit its stride in s1
If you ever make a video on Rose, I honestly think the worst thing she did was be a terrible leader, she lied to her followers and led them to a fate worse then death. If she had been open with them and revealed who she was, she could have gotten them way more support, provided her ship, and the Diamonds would have been a lot less likely to commit the mother of all war crimes against the rebellion. Plus she wouldn't have to bubble Bismuth. And could have feasibly gotten her court to follow her, including the rose quartzs and amethysts. She did not know how to wage war.
YEEEAAAHHH NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!!! really awesome sauce you hit 600 subs !!!! i remember subscribing when the pearl video came out and i was your 600th sub!! youre definitely on my top 3 fav content creators now ^_^
oh dude this is so good! I love the way you speak about the show, your analysis, the emphasis, your voice!!! YOUR ENERGY!!! You genuinely reminded me about when I watched these episodes for the first time and GAWDDD the HYPE was real! This is amazing, definitely subscribing! I have a feeling that you'll get way bigger dude! You're awesome
Glad to see content in praise of SU, i grew up with the show as well and always feel outcasted when my friends talk down on the show (also, congrats on 5K! You earned it)
Lapis lazuli was my fave as a kid and even now tbh, her introduction was so cool and the show really had me stressing out over her well-being when malachite happened I feel like they kind of shelved her in later seasons due to the plot growing thicker which is a shame but maybe I'm biased bc I liked her so much Anyways, loved the video, it really reminded me how hyped I was when this special aired, a lot of stuff happened in the story afterwards too, like Steven losing his powers. I'm just rambling now, I think I might give the series a rewatch now that I'm an adult
when i say this i could really be going in over my head but i rlly js thought about the international inpact Lapis made when she stole the ocean. like if you think about it, there are VERY dry places like the sahara, drc, brazil, etc and water is needed there. i cant imagine the pain the people and animals went through trying to make it through the day in those conditions. and imagine the ones that didnt make the day. or the ones that did but maybe their friends or family didnt. not only that, but even if there are ppl who live in not so hot or humid climates. all the water is gone, how are we gonna take a bath? cooking? flushing the toilet? we literally can't! imagine the alternatives too. using water bottles to fill up a pot and warm up the water to shower, pooping in buckets and throwing it out somewhere, or having to use a hose to wash out stains. and it also really shocks me how the biggest concern for the people of beach city was that there was no ocean to play in. like imagine that being your biggest concern. also so many businesses - majority food and plumbing - would close. if you cant wash your hands before you prepare the meal, you don't meet food safety requirements! cant serve meals! and the discourse in the news?? everyone would be freaking out and thinking its the end of the world. scientists don't understand whats happening, thousands - or even MILLIONS of people and animals are dead or close to death, and its probably summer too so that must have been really bad. and then everything being turned back to normal the next day or two. like it'd be talked about for centuries going on. and then greg and connie being the only people who saw it go down. nobody would believe them if they said anything about what really happened. they'd be humiliated and ostracized about it for so long! im not sure, but i just think its baffling how much of an impact she had on the world (and many characters) in that one episode. so like in that sense, could she technically be counted as an extremely powerful gem?
your editing and commentary is amazing!! you make all of this so entertaining and . for lack of a better word Palatable? idk what word to use LOL but your content is seriously underrated LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS
I'm shocked how few subs/views you have right now this video was really well edited and you're really entertaining to listen to- definitely subscribing
Dear lord I feel old hearing someone say they were 9 when Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem came out when I was in my 20s and suffering in retail hell at the same time. (Also, so true abt how Lily and other jerks really ruined the discourse. Not to say it was perfect before, but they destroyed any normalcy we could have had.)
I love all of your content I think it’s so cool! Genuinely! I feel like I sound corny but idk what else to say other than that I think these videos are really awesome. I’m gonna watch them over and over again while drawing now!
agreed, ive watched it all and while its not "perfect" but what did they expect them to do to the big bad of a kids show? kill them french revolution style???? like it was a fine show that had may more things going for it than against
Broooo bro bro if you like fem presenting gemstone people PLEASE watch Land of the Lustrous/ Houseki no Kuni the anime and read the manga PLEASSSSEEEEEEE ITS MY ROMAN EMPIREEEEE 😭
