Talk:Bismuth (episode)/@comment-5808856-20160804233107

Well, here comes a new third best (only beaten by Mr. Greg and Barn Mates). Bismuth’s character is great, and while her intentions are great, her strategy of killing the Home World Gems was just not right. Rose Quartz believed that ALL life was precious, even home world gems. If we just go around shattering them, we are just as bad as they are. Also, that weapon would be HORRIBLE is home world managed to rip it out of our hands, and use it against Lapis or Peri. That would be terrifying. This is also a great dynamic. Bismuth is not a villain, but her morality is questionable. Her intentions are great, but her solution is terrifying. Yes, home world can just gather their proofed troops, but to KILL them is crossing a moral line. Even then, for each Jasper a heartless monster, there is a redeemable one like Lapis and Peri. As good a solution for the problem it is not always the morally correct one. And that is why I like Bismuth. Also, this might explain why Rose kept Lion a secret. Knowing about Lion could have caused them to discover Bismuth. Now, what else is there to talk about. How about Bismuth herself. Just like Lapis, Bismuth is a great tragic character. Her ideals are in the right place, but her way of going about it, was terrifying. Also, I want to talk about that beautiful ending. Steven walks in with the bubble containing Bismuth, and he just says we need to talk. Then there is no more dialogue as they put Bismuth in the Burning Room. That was a beautiful scene. Just their expressions and the music said more than words could have done. We don’t see Steven explain Bismuth to them, and that was a great thing. Just seeing them put the bubble with the others was MORE than enough to show how they felt about it. The fight scene between Steven and Bismuth was great, and felt like Captain America Civil War, both sides have great intentions and reasons for their actions, unlike a CERTAIN other Superhero film from this year that had the heroes fight for no reason. Then there is the bit with Steven having the option to shatter Bismuth and refusing. Bismuth getting mad at Steven since Steven seened to be exactly like his mother, instead of following his own path was great, and it showed fully well how he isn’t Rose. Then Bismuth happily being bubbled in the end was great. The scene with Bismuth learning about what happened while she was out, the scene with her and Steven talking about Rose, the stuff with weapon upgrades….I really cannot find ANYTHING to not like, or anything that should have been cut out. This episode warranted the 22 minute run time, and it was truly great. I have a feeling Bismuth A+
