Nah, the ultra progressive crowd got super pissed at Steven Universe for making that Gem Harvest episode, where they showed it’s important to understand the other side and empathize and see things from their side.
Yep, he was a very human character. Gave him good reasons for being upset while at the same time showing he was being unreasonable too. It’s actually a really good episode overall, you should go back and watch it. Tumblr was mad BECAUSE they didn’t make him Hitler Incarnate.
Maybe a lot of people working on the show have mommy issues
These are fantastic points. I wish my autistic ass could express these properly when I talk about it.
He lived with him up until the time that he built the house of Steven to live in while he trained with the Gems. The Gems kinda looked down on him for the most part and they really didn’t super get along, so all of them living together would have been too stressful on everyone. He lived with the Gems while training his Gem powers and everything.
I hate to go full MRA, but Greg should have been allowed to live in the house with his son.. That really kind of sucks.
I think it was more Greg didn’t think of himself as a good enough father, so he let Steven live with the Gems once he was old enough to start learning about his powers while still being them for him as best he could. Didn’t want him living in a van his whole life, I’m assuming. He was mainly crashing at Vildalia’s place while Steven was a baby.
Yah I actually like Greg a lot from what I've seen. I don't know who Vildalia is though...
Onion’s mom. Had a one night stand with Greg’s old manager and had Sour Cream. Manager was a shit and wanted nothing to do with them. She and Amythest are old friends.
Even from what little I've seen, I actually believe you that Greg is rich... I'm assuming he paid for the house that Steven and the Gems live in, because who else would have? (Even though he isn't allowed to live there for some reason.) Also, he doesn't seem particularly hindered by the fact that he had to buy the yacht that he had previously rented after Lapis sunk it fighting Jasper... (I've seen random episodes, but nowhere near every episode.) But why is he rich? If it's because of his music, why is he still living in a van?
I remember he got a bunch of money from some jingle he wrote or something, so yeah, he's a millionaire. He might just stay in the van because he doesn't mind it.
In the Mr. Greg episode, they found out Greg's old manager owed him 10 million bucks in royalties from one of the songs he sold. He's also the reason the Gems have a house, which he specifically got for Steven's sake. As for the van, I think Greg just likes living in the van since he was doing it for years and enjoys the simple life.
Because he basically is one
There's a whole episode in which his old manager comes to town to give him a check- he sold one of his songs as a jingle. That's when he becomes rich. He doesn't let it change him, however. He likes his life and continues as if nothing has changed. He just doesn't have to worry about bills and rent anymore.
