It took us until the finale of the original series to get fusions of Steven with Pearl and Garnet. You could say they appeared quickly we could have got more screen, but that’s different, especially for what you’re saying. Fusions have been anything but rushed. Rainbow 2.0, Sunstone and Obsidian literally made their debuts within 10 minutes of each other but alright.

Yes and? I’m talking about the build up between the characters relationships. The scene was rushed a bit, but the build up and development wasn’t, which is more important.

Gonna have to disagree with you on the development there. While I get that it took “build up” for the new fusions, it wasn’t in a good way. If you want a good example, look at Smoky Quartz! That whole fusion took a string of episodes, and the character development on Amethyst’s part was on point. Amethyst and Steven actually had a good relationship (obviously not in a romantic way) that tied in great with how Smoky was introduced! The other fusions? Not so much. There was not a character build up in that case, there was a build up, sure (though, not exactly a good one), but nothing else. Those fusions in CYM were there for what? Two or three minutes for an introduction, then that’s it? Honestly, the only fusion in CYM that felt like it had a good build up was Obsidian, character and story wise.

You don’t hat Steven has a god relationship with Pearl and Garnet? They’ve had plenty of development, it doesn’t all need to be done directly before fusion to be justified.

It sounds like you’re talking about the scene itself now, but scene being rushed and their development being rushed aren’t the same thing.
