I've kind of lost sympathy for her recently, mainly because of her idiotic sacrifice and the fact that she was gonna end the lives of billions just to get home, peridot in my opinion has been a far superior character, but I'm sure you'll grow to like lapis through time in her next appearances. Okay, "thorwing a tantrum and trying to drown kids"? Isn't that strecting it a bit? We don't know the full story with her and the Crystal Gems. She was trapped in that mirror for thousands of years, not to mention her gem was cracked. Did you really expect her to be entirely reasonable upon being released? Whether or not Lapis intended to drown them is debatable. Personally, I don't think she intended to drown them, I think she was just stopping them from getting in her way. I think it could be argued that she didn't know that knew that humans need oxygen. Also, I don't think she knew how important the Ocean was to Earth. Even though she was being rash, I don't think she wanted to kill anyone, espeacially Steven, who freed her from the mirror. Yeah, Steven chose to stay with the CG's over her, but I don't think Lapis was petty enough to kill him for that. Also, at the end, she let Steven talk to her. She probably could've kept fighting them, but she didn't she listened to him.
