steven universe is a show that I personally watched a lot growing up. I can’t really do a review on the show as a whole, but I could do individual episodes. Ever steven universe episode teaches a new lesson and I’m pretty sure that’s why I love it. It teaches you how to be emotionally intelligent whilst also tackling things like self-confidence issues, attachment issues, how to grieve, and diversity. what character do you relate to the most in steven universe?
also sorry for it being kind of out of order. and some events in the story are missing.
steven universe the movie starts off with steven running through beach city enjoying life. He feels free from his mother’s actions finally and can now start to heal himself and be “human”. Unfortunately for him as the song ends suddenly garnet gets a vison from the future and its terrifying unexpected something they could never prepare for. A giant drill wins king of the hill against the small mountain and plants itself inside the earth. On top of the drill is spinel a gem that once served as pink diamonds version of a court jester, she played for centuries with pink. unfortunately, pink grew tired of the constant games she became annoyed with happy little spinel. one day as they played in the garden pink told spinel to stay in one spot and wait for her to come back. spinel obeyed happily thinking it was all a game she waited and waited for years until finally seeing steven on her screen welcoming gems. she grew angry and instead of happiness filling her heart anger did and her heart became black she morphed into a shell of her former self and plotted for revenge. spinel made quick work of the diamonds and tried steven, but it didn’t work unfortunately though he didn’t leave unscratched. the weapon she used reverted all gems back to their original selves’ pre-pink diamond. garnet became red ruby and sapphire; pearl reverted back to her base self-awaiting orders from “Greg”, Amathyst reverted back to her kindergarten self-shy and confused. They all became what they were before rose. spinel herself got hit by the rejuvenator and became her base model also. she was happy and excited and got on stevens nerves quite a bit. steven was falling apart the rejuvenator worked in a different way for him. steven and Greg tries Mutiple attempts at putting the gems back together for most of the movie and he succeeds in except with garnet. unfortunately, spinel has to be reverted back to fix the damage caused by the drill. All day spinel tries to help and play with steven but unfortunately get declined at every turn. the rejections forced her to turn back into “maniac” spinel. She leaves to the garden where her and rose once played saddened. steven follows behind her where she tells him her origin story and how rose abandoned her. Steven convinces her to come back because he’s not rose, and things are different, and she agrees. once back she stops the drill but unfortunately see’s steven with the rejuvenator and thinks he’s going to reset her, paranoid she fights him and takes Greg hostage, this forced garnet to remember, and she fused back into herself. Shes beaten by the crystal gems again and retreats to the top of the rejuvenator steven follows and is tries to convince her again causing them to fight more. until spinel realizes she lost her reason to fight after one of stevens speeches. the drill explodes and steven now having his powers restored traps spinel in a bubble to protect her. spinel trust steven after this and gets convinced she must leave earth to atone for the damage she has done. Then the diamonds arrive to try and get steven to stay with them but steven reasons with them and has spinel take his place as she would be of more use to them. thus, leaving spinel with the friends he promised and everything’s alright.
this story is peak ngl it sets steven up to have all the emotional outburst he does leading to him discovering more powers in steven universe future.
would you like to see stevens other powers? or would you like to see steven try and have a normal life?
Honestly, making me want to finish watching Steven Universe lol, but honestly, I think I’d love to see Steven go through a feeling process due to the, honestly, trauma of growing up in the environment he did. The Crystal Gems didn’t really know how to take care of a child, let alone a human child, in the middle of a war. So I would love to see the next installments talk about how Steven is handling it.
The Steven Universe movie HAUNTS ME in the best way possible. It’s such a far jump from the happy kid we see at the beginning of the original series, and all of the events of Steven Universe: Future are so impactful, but only BECAUSE of the movie. A wonderful summary. If you’re taking suggestions i’d like your opinion on Bismuth’s Episode!!
I LOVE STEVEN UNIVERESE! Brooo it still amazes me how Zach Callison pitched his voice that high. Despite some controversy in the show and its fandom, I really enjoyed all of it. Especially since I was little and then watched it all again. Steven from the beginning was really chipper, and it somewhat leads you on to think; this might change. I loved steven and watching him grow into adulthood was so SCARY cause we’re almost there too. I loved the movie, and you did really well with explaining it.
