So I know I'm late to the party again, but I still get to say I told you so
After we had to lure episodes we had to townie not so important episodes but more on that in a minute. Oh
My gosh, I'm so sorry everyone. It's been such a long hiatus between videos
I'm getting a status Steven universe over here. I
Just had a lot of personal and financial issues going on. So I just had to take a break get things sorted out
I hope you guys understand. I'm not gonna make any promises because my video uploading schedule will still probably be pretty sporadic
I mainly would like to do this for fun
And if I have something to say about a media piece
Then I'll make something about it or if you guys have a suggestion. I'll do those too
IO as usual I like to hear what you guys have to say and anything you might think is interesting
I hope I can entertain you guys
Some more and I really do appreciate everyone who took the time to comment on my last videos
I actually enjoy the conversation all my videos
especially the last one and
Even if you guys disagree with me, I still I still like to hear that. Okay?
So I also wanted to give a special shout out to Kevin fan animations. I really appreciate your kind words. I
Also hope that I keep getting the opportunity to create in such a great community
Also go check out their channel. Hashtag not sponsored
but for now, let's get into the review of the episodes got
I'll start with your mother in mind. A lot of people complained about the silhouettes that
They didn't like it and it was basically a recap what we've already been shown so far
I agree that it was frustrating as we were all expecting new content considering how far into the series we are
But at the same time it was kind of nice to have a recap episode
you know summarizing everything we've been told or I
Felt like we were turning over a new leaf
And it was nice to see garnets perspective of how the rebellion happened what she feels about pink diamond and what she feels about Rose
And even though some of it was something we've seen before I feel like it was still useful to see
Everybody can have a different perception of the same events and perception is everything
Also liked how the off colors were fed. This propaganda about rose quartz. She didn't exist. She destroys all gems
She's crazy, etc
And I felt like this was actually a good depiction of how rumors and propaganda can affect a war
Because the Diamonds wouldn't want other gems Joan Rose and on the off chance that they survived the corruption blast
The diamonds would want her memory to be tarnished someone who didn't care about anyone at all
Not even her own kind which would be the worst negative characters
This would prevent any further gem uprisings or rebellions in the future as no one would want to side with someone like Rose
And they would see how they were crushed in the end. Anyway ours is interaction with the off colors was really adorable
I really like the back and forth
They have like they call him captain
But they aren't above pointing out that he's doing something wrong like what he's pushing the wrong button. I
Like the little moment with garnet and Steven too as usual their interactions always make me smile
But I still feel like it was put in there
It's more of a misdirect than anything else and maybe she swept his concerns under the rug too quickly
And when the episode ended with Lars and the off colors talking about where they can get supplies
They need to fix the thrusters and they all strike this little pose. It was hype worthy
But I already knew we were can I get to see it? I
Knew we were gonna get the cut off and the next episode is gonna be about townies
Hate to say it, but sure enough. It was the big show
now this episode to me felt out of place like
Why do we need to have this side plot with Sadie in the band?
Feel like one of the biggest complaints the show has the town episodes. Don't feel like they mekt to the gem episodes
Some people would argue. Well Stevens gem and a human and it's just showing his life as a human
It makes sense for sure
however
It's still completely possible for both of those elements to be intertwined and I feel since a lot of people feel this way
That's why people even call them townie episodes
Even people who like those call them townie
Episodes some of you remember the first Teen Titans that aired on Cartoon Network in the 2000s
This show is a good example of them having superhero problems and also having regular human everyday problems
Sure
I could say some of the episodes are serious and some are comical but they all still
Connected and served a purpose to our characters overall
I guess the reason I'm kind of harping on this is because I see way too many comments
talking about how we need these episodes because
Onion got a little development or this character got a little development
But to me, I should know mayor Dewey's favorite donut by now. Come on
Let's talk about the real issues. Sure. Stevens gonna have his down time, but I still feel like it's not handled
Well, I'm not saying we have to go full
spider-man Peter Parker where his responsibilities are constantly getting in the way of him having a normal life as a human being
but a
Tiny little bit of conflict just a bit of gem culture getting in the way of his humanity would be nice
it would also be an easy way for this episode ty and the others that ruining what they're trying to do we can have the
Whole episode be exactly the same
But put it at the end
After letters to Lars now before I give you an example
I would like to point out a few of you feel like my ideas of what would be better to generic and
I appreciate your honesty and input however, as I noted before these ideas are literally off the top of my head
Meaning I put very little thought in how to fix on-screen inconsistencies or problems and yet the story makes more sense with them there
Rather than how it's played out. I do think about these things. But since it's not my creation, I have no control over it
I'm not gonna put my full writer ability into these scenarios as I'm working on my own original stuff
I hope this clears up some confusion about what I'm trying to do here
I'm just offering suggestions of what I think might work better
Even if it was generic to start with if it was my show
I would start with this generic idea and then I would find a way to twist it on its head because that's what most
People do but some people don't do it, right because they twist it on its head
But they twist it to where it doesn't make sense for the point of look
We you know, we twisted something it look how creative we are instead of thinking
Well, that doesn't make sense story wise anymore
anyway
So all we have to do is add a little bit at the end of the big show
Have it scheduled after letters to Lars
So that SAT in the band finished their musical number the camera pans around the crowd
Sadie can see a gem type shape person, but it's kind of ambiguous
There's a person that kind of draws a little bit of attention to them
But not too much just enough to kind of make you wonder it. Oh, who is that?
Just kind of add a little bit of suspense and then while they are driving home
he said he brings it up that she saw something weird and
the others could be dismissive or Steven could ask more questions and
Maybe there's no conclusions really drawing
Another point that I wanted to bring up in this video was a point I touched on but I don't feel like I explained myself
Very well
so I've seen a lot of people will try and wave away the fact that the reason the Diamonds haven't attacked earth is because I
Think Rose for it's still on homeworld
now the first problem is the fact that
Yellow and blue diamond we're worried about bringing her to justice. They would have sent someone to earth
anyway, as soon as Steven was out of sight I say this because when they sent aqua meaning to earth
I'm sure her report would read. She found rose on earth. So chances are Rose got away
She might be able to get back to earth
Which we know Steven does and after the other time and saw her shatter another diamond
Chances are they're not gonna underestimate her again. Leave. No stone unturned right a
second reason that backs that up is
Homeworld was supposed to be looking for two fugitives
And I know it's a possibility that maybe other gems can't recognize that Lars is human or a gem anymore
Maybe he's confusing to them but he'll ours out here stealing spaceships obviously trying to get somewhere
I'm expected to believe that emerald ever reported to the diamonds
someone stole one of their best
Ships now sure some might argue that emerald wouldn't want to report that because she wouldn't want to get in trouble
possibly poofter shattered for being incompetent
Which is the valid point chances are I hate to keep saying it this way?
bear with me
Chances are some other gem would have seen what happened on the video communicator and information would get out one way or another
Also, why didn't the diamonds sent out a mass call to all of their subordinates?
Like hey guys, this is what rose quartz looks like now capture on site
wanted poster anyone
Also, don't try to use the cluster as an excuse. It's lame and it's been bubbled since season one
They set peridot to check on it and she defected which to me would mean that the cluster is not viable anymore
because they obviously did something to stop it next step pool hopping I
Get what they're trying to accomplish in this one showing that garnet is unsure about things too
and that even though she's the leader maybe she doesn't have it all together that there's a lot of pressure on her to
Lead them in the right direction with right Asians all the time
I know that they're trying to remedy the problem with garnets future vision saying that she gets multiple paths
Just trying to side which path is most likely but to me that can still cause a problem character-wise
Unni this is a little nitpicky, but I'm personally against characters having the ability to tell the future
because then it shows that he needed honor stand their friends as much as they should and
picks the wrong outcome based on what she thinks they would do and they do something that's more mature a brave and it sounds like
Wow
You think your friend wouldn't be brave enough or bold enough or selfless enough to do X Y Z
See what I'm saying here?
Usually if you give your character the ability to tell a future time traveling it ends up muddling things
it's hardly ever executed properly and more times than not you create more holes or problems in your story because if the audience
Constantly going they can tell the future. How come in and do this sir. How come they didn't do that or how come?
It's literally endless
All the way this ability usually works is if we're shown a vision and it's like vague
like super vague could literally go any which way
And there's actually a show that I feel like it's handled adequately enough. It's don't like get us in the story
But in this case, it's don't works now
Some people will probably disagree with me because all over the Internet everyone talks about how the anime fairy tale is trash
But trust me it's actually pretty decent
I feel like it fell into this label due to Internet sensationalism
But that's another video for another time
Fact part of the reason that it's OK in that story is because more often time than not it gets the characters into more trouble
Than if they didn't have these visions at all plot device. I know
Okay, but there's this one character in the show Carla
She's flying cat also called an exceed she would frequently have premonitions
But they were never in her control. They would come randomly. She would usually be like, this is the scene
She gets flashes of a tower crumbling clock tower chiming one of her friends screaming out. There's no words just sound
Obviously you should know something that's about to happen is about is bad
And as if you were you get a rush of suspense like when's it gonna happen? What's gonna happen?
And usually when she has these visions
They usually try to do something to circumvent what's going to happen and sometimes it makes the situation worse and for the character
it's a constant source of anxiety and
Part of her character arc is learning how to command her vision rather than being at the mercy of it
I'm not saying she's the only example of this done
well It was just the first one I thought of so if you guys have other examples of how this works well in media
Feel free to let me know down in the comment section finally letters to Lars
I'll admit I was a little floored to see this one. Of course
It should have gone back in front of the Connie Stephen arc bomb
We got in December
but still
It would have helped me be more
Invested in the struggle between them because then we could see Stephen cares
And I don't even care
if no one else cares at least our protagonist has to care or
Why should we write it was nice to feel like maybe
The show's creators are finally kind of listening to the complaints that we've had for a long time
Whether they did this is up for debate, but to me, it felt almost like hey
We heard you we're trying to remedy some of the issues. Here's an episode to show
The reason the Townies weren't too concerned and that reason was because mayor Dewey wasn't really concerned with anything going on
But now this new mayor is gonna handle it but just fine I can accept that
You've already seen how selfish he is. That makes sense. The town wouldn't worry too much either
Of course, this is the first time that the town was actually directly involved in a gem attack. I mean
with like the abductions and stuff
Obviously, there's been other gem attacks that they should have been concerned about but we'll gloss over that for now
I don't know about y'all, but I've come to a place of acceptance about how the show is and how it's gonna be
There's nothing wrong with having expectations about your media
But I was much more satisfied with these episodes that I didn't have any expectations that I've accepted it
Even though it had the potential to become this overarching
Gigantic story. It just isn't the story it wants to be or is meant to be and that's fine
Hey guys
I appreciate you guys taking the time and
Let me know in the comment sections how you felt about these four episodes and I'll see you in the next video
You
