<p>Well, I always liked the motherly aspect of Garnet when it came to Steven so they could do something with that </p>

<p>I really don't like Garnet, when they revealed she was a fusion i didn't like her personality after all, yeah, she was the leader and else but it was like for having a cool song she is more relevant than Amethyst or Pearl, i didn't like when Garnet asks Yellow to enlarge her but leaves Amethyst and Pearl behind, like they are not the crystal gems but GARNET <i>and the crystarl gems</i> </p><p>She was a cool leader who become too central, i really liked the episode about cat steven thought, if she was going to show emotion she should do this via Ruby and Sapphire, not via Garnet </p>

<p>It really feels like the Crewniverse let their excitement and emotions get in the way of their writing in general. Things like "Oh, we can bring everyone back from the dead!", "Ooh, Steven's mental health is so bad he's a psychopathic murderer now!", "Steven needs his privacy, so we're not gonna show him actually get better!". These are all desisions that were made with little regard for what they'd do to the story. Yes, Steven having mental health problems makes sense, but he wouldn't suddenly become a violent murderer out of the blue- MOST people wouldn't resort to murdering people because of their PTSD, that isn't normal, nothing that's happened to Steven recently should drive him to that. Everyone's doing different things, Connie said "not now", and Greg holds disdain for his old life (something Steven already knew), and now he's on a murder spree? Jasper trained him, but he seemed like he was gonna get violent with Greg (and the Pearls earlier in the season) anyways, and killing Jasper was just because he overestimated what she could handle. I must stress that this isn't a normal mental health issue, this is Steven being a psychopath. I hope that this isn't something Rebecca Sugar pulled from her own mental health experience... </p><p>And because the therapy was never shown, none of Steven's problems ever resolved, I don't believe for a second that he's better now. I still feel like he's going to have violent pink outbursts on the road, I still feel like he's gonna kill someone if he's triggered. He feels like an evil Superman still. Respecting his privacy is not an acceptable reason for not showing him in therapy. Steven is not a real person.  </p><p>
Imagine if we never got to see Peridot's redemption arc; people wouldn't just accept that she's suddenly a good person, there'd be all these theories about how she was still secretly evil and would turn on the gems. That's EXACTLY what went down with the Diamonds; people didn't believe they were redeemed until we had to accept it after Homeworld Bound. This is just forcing characters to be a certain way without naturally transitioning them into the people you want them to be. </p><p>Because death is easily reversible for both humans and now gems, there are no stakes. If the series goes forward, nobody is in any danger at all. That's... not good for a story. The finale had no tension for me because of this fact.  </p><p>I realized back when Season 4 Started airing that something felt extremely off about the series. I don't know what happened, but more and more it felt like things were happening not because these things made sense, but because the crew wanted these things to happen for cool factor or because it was emotional. As much as the Ruby/Sapphire wedding was a win for the LGBT crowd and as satisfying as it is to have it in the series, I do think the decision to have it is a perfect allegory for how things were handled in the later part of the series: They chose the Emotional/WOW factor over giving themselves enough time to tell the story. </p>

<p>Honestly, yeah.  </p><p>I think Steven should still be a little insecure. As much as he's my favourite character, I actually found it hard to believe that after a few months of therapy made him better. I have a couple of (distant) friends who has been through therapy for a few years, and they've only recovered a little. Well, just one of them. Steven went through years of physical and mental trauma for years and was feeling much better in the span of a few months. Also, I would've just loved to see the gems/anyone comforting him because ... yes.  </p><p>Speaking of magically changing, Spinel completely lost her personality after the movie. She went back the her nonchalant, happy self. What irriatates me the most was that Spinel KNEW that Steven was going through something, but she brushed him off. I know Spinel was made to goof, but she just became really bland and boring in Homeworld Bound.  </p>

<p>It was like the diamonds reseted her again but keep her current form </p>

Oof. I wonder what the diamonds do all day.

<p>Blue Diamond is probably giving therapy lessons by giving her clouds, Yellow Diamond is doing puzzles by fixing shattered gems, and White... I'm not even sure what she does.  </p>

Maybe she tries to inspire gems

<p>M a y b e </p><p>I'm trying to think of something that has to do with White Diamond, but I honestly don't know what she'll do. Probably inspire gems, as you said </p>

<p>I think Steven's behavior in the whole SUF is justified if the movie never existed </p><p>I mean the whole movie is about Steven realizing that growing with change is what made him who he is </p><p>While the series is about Steven being traumatized because at first he can't accept change and then the whole original series are actually damaging him (this does make sense but all plot points was just to escalate this while ignoring that the movie denys this) </p><p>I mean, the whole Spinel thing in SUF doesn't make sense and they mocked a song that wasn't about Spinel but Steven saying that he can change and the problem with SUF Steven is that he can't </p><p>WTH was that series? </p><p>Well, in most series movies aren't canon </p>
