    This thread always seems more active when story episodes go down

    There's just not a whole ton to talk about during the dead zone between when the episode's worn out its discussion, and the next episode's previews go up.

    lion 3: straight to Video has 2 important truths.

    1 Dog Copter is the wisest being ever.
    2 Rose Quartz left a vhs for Steven and She is also amazing

    my advice is if you are on good terms with your parents, give them a call. this episode hand more feels than the episode with Greg Universe with his broken leg.

    Well now Im crying . Thanks cartoons.
    Some stuff

    Pearl you uh. You need some help.

    Its odd he couldnt breath there what with the wind but I guess that could be lion exhaling.

    I am now convinced Lion can talk but just doesnt want to

    What secrets does that treasure chest hold?!?

    This is pretty much the perfect first appearance for Rose. We got to see who she really was not how shes been described by others.

    Dogcopter was Rose talking to Steven right? It seemed a bit deep for his subconcious

    I love how Lion acts exactly like a big dog or cat (depending on the scene), especially how he communicates through focused staring and head-nuzzles. Reminds me of my little pup. I'm just glad he's not the size of a Mini Cooper like Lion.

  • GoldenSeducerGoldenSeducer AAAAAUGH!! Registered User regular
    I almost never say this about anything, but this episode really hits a person right in the feels.

    This doubly goes for anyone who happens to be pregnant. I'm a little misty now.

    He has an N64 as well.

    Not as well drawn though

  • TankHammerTankHammer Atlanta Ghostbuster Atlanta, GARegistered User regular
    Yeah, usually a console will have some artistic license taken in terms of its design when it's portrayed in a show like this but that Gamecube was very precisely drawn. The artist must have some fond memories of that system.

  • NotoriusBENNotoriusBEN Registered User regular
    game cube had the best water physics hands down for that era of consoles.
    xbox just looked like transparent glass and ps2 looked like viscous mercury, both with no splash or globs

    and there were some good games on it, though my memory escapes me for anything other than mario sunshine

    "Steven,we can't both exist. I'm going to become half of you."

    Hmmmm

    You're a cruel and beautiful person. Yes, to both references you made, and yes, this episode was a very special one.

    Also I'm such a fan of when the gems show how truly alien they are, so Pearl's bit absolutely clicked for me at least.

    I wasn't that weirded out by Pearl doing that

    I mean

    Steven is "born" or whatever, and Greg, who at the best of times is not a very responsible dude, is trying to deal with the loss of his wife on top of this new kid

    the gems offer to raise the child instead but they're basically magical space golems, they have no idea how tiny humans work

    so Pearl, always the worrywart, decides to watch over him while he sleeps to make sure he doesn't need anything at night or doesn't choke on a blanket or something

    and

    it's been like ten years

    and no one told her to stop

    so

    I always assumed the Gems forced their way into possessing Steven. Basically his dad who likely didn't know his wife was going to die to give birth to Steven and was consumed by grief and so when the Gems demanded they hand over Steven around that time he agreed to it without thinking about what it really meant. Now he fully understands what he did but he knows the Gems are too powerful to fuck with so he plays their game so he can continue to see his son.

    I think that's a much darker interpretation

    Too dark

    I think after Rose died greg kinda gave up on life but the gems dont like prohibit him from seeing Steven or anything. Theres no game he just realizes the temple is a better home for Steven right now

  • SnowbearSnowbear Registered User regular
    Yeah it's like Steven could live in a temple with 3 magical space ladies to watch him or live in a van.
    Like ideally Greg could get his shit together and provide a home for his son himself. But he doesn't seem interested in that.

    I like to imagine there was a mutual understanding that, being part gem, Steven would have magical abilities that Greg would have no idea how to help him with, and it'd just be for the best that they be his caretakers so that they can make sure he grows into his powers and doesn't accidentally cause problems for Greg.

    Also, Greg lives out of his van, which is really not a great living situation for a child.

    Pearl clearly is pretty bored and not really challenged most days.

    Like, every time there's something big that needs doing, especially mechanical stuff, she's all I'VE GOT IT.

    Fixing up Greg's van after Ocean Gem, or putting together a rocket ship, etc. were both opportunities to actually have a project.

    So, I was watching this cover of Giant Woman a friend of mine did on YouTube, and I noticed something.

    Does anyone else think that there's a Nimona reference here, at 26 seconds?

    So I have been playing Wind Waker HD and noticed something pretty neat! We know the creator of Steven Universe is a fan of video games and, in particular, Nintendo. In a couple of episodes we have seen old Nintendo consoles including a Gamecube so it is not too farfetched to think that Rebecca Sugar is also a fan of the aforementioned Zelda game.

    Magtail.png

    Look familiar? No that isn't a fan art of the centipede from Steven Universe, it's actually a monster found on Dragon Roost Island in Wind Waker. It's pretty neat how similar in design they are which leads me to believe it was little things like this that helped influence Rebecca's designs in the show.

    ....or I am overthinking this.

    I assume Peridot the stone is pronounced that way hence why the character in CQ is always correcting people.
