However, I saw the episode as being more centered around Amethyst's internal conflict about not being secure or knowing what she wanted. The "poofing" wasn't supposed to be the focus or point of the situation, as it was with Garnet and Pearl. The poofing was there to signify that Amethyst kept changing herself to be what she thought Garnet would want. Amethyst's anger was based off of insecurity and sensitivity. She felt she wasn't perfect or good enough. She wasn't angry for no reason. About your side note: Garnet and Pearl's designs aren't that elaborate either. Garnet only really changed colour scheme, but Pearl's outfit did noticeably change. ''

''This is my opinion. It's fine if you dislike "Reformed."'' I see what you mean but my problem with amethyst was her responses just seem awkward and out of place, I know hwat you mean and I realize it was about her internal conflict but Michaela didn't get very good direction and amethyst's personality is written for the episode not the episode being written for her, the one thing I do like is the slinker's design.
