No, not by any means! I do admit I don't find her as interesting as the other gems, though- Ruby and Sapphire fell in love, became Garnet, and that's that. She doesn't have any lingering issues regarding being a fusion or anything else like that, and it doesn't feel like she has a character arc to progress. AND, to top it off, she's already extremely powerful.

Basiclly, my issue with Garnet is that, unlike a lot of other characters who have (or at least had) various issues to work out, like Pearl's unrequited love and constant need of other's approval, or Amethyst's self-hatred for her birthplace and defects, as well as many of the other characters who have room to improve with their fighting skills, Garnet's sitting in Stasis. She's pretty unstoppable, and has no issues of her own, and that, to me, just makes her less interesting.

I appreciate Garnet, I do like Garnet, I LOVE her all her fusions with the other characters, she makes me laugh, I think she's cool, I love her design, I like what she represents- BUT She still doesn't crack my top 10 Steven Universe characters yet. I need just a little bit more. I need to see Garnet legitmately be bested in a fight, I need to see the issues that bog down Garnet, I need to see her struggle to maintain composure in the face of a long-standing issue. The Hand Cluster was a great moment, but nothing about the Cluster from here on out seems to faze her. The Sardonyx arc was only a small, temporary issue that popped up and got resolved in a week. Garnet's strength and independence is admirable, but it doesn't particularly add much intrigue to her character.

TL;DR, No.
