Talk:Change Your Mind (episode)/@comment-36168506-20190125140000

I've rewatched this particular episode for so many times - and I love it, I do. The only thing that feels a bit off for me is how they didn't give any song or whatsoever when Obsidian fused. All those physical fights were literally rendered unmemorable by pink steven (who didn't even have any backsong) :/ I loved the fusions, I loved their struggle, but the fight pales even against Garnet vs Jasper in the first season because Garnet's song emphasized how important it is for her to fight the 'bad' guys. They could've made big fusions like Obsidian more impactful, ya kno? Her statue's been in the show for ages, for god's sake. Instead they made her appear only because the crystal gems couldn't climb up a knee. And everytime I watch that particular part I get all "???????" because it bugs me that much.

BUT I also love how the show foreshadowed that steebo is made of 'love'. Garnet said that the answer is love. In Lion 4, Steven said "Of course! The answer's inside me the whole time!", and before that Rosequartz said a whole bunch of motherly love nonsense we (nor Steven) didn't take literally. I don't know if this were planned or not but danggg, of course! Love - the 'answer' - which is literally Rosequartz (and ultimately PD, and Pink Steven), IS inside Steven.

Gotta applaud Crewniverse for messing my mind with every single revelation.
