Man watching the fandom implode in on itself like that was a fun day. Everyone kept bitching at the people saying this twist was inevitable, while everyone else in the main fandom patted themselves on the back, saying there's no way the show would pull a plot twist that dumb given the show's high quality standards. And then when that episode dropped, you had all the Pink/Rose people come out shoving it in everyone's faces, whilst the fandom tried desperately to make it seem like this was somehow still a genius move by Sugar when really it added horrific context to an already horrific situation.
Can I just go on record and say that I
Just replace White Diamond in that whole thing with Steven, and you got almost beat for beat what I predicted would end up happening. Course, them going the extra mile and having him bringing back the Cluster and having the Diamonds/Spinel become ol' craftswomen grannies was a whole 'nother level of exceptional that I wasn't expecting, and is just the icing on top of this shit cake.
I just can't believe they're going full Eva and are not only leaving all of Beach City and Earth in disrepair and turmoil through a cataclysmic event like the Cluster reemerging, but also having Steven go full on corrupted and turn into some sick worm creature for the rest of his life because his attempt to find himself completely backfired...and that that's how they're supposedly gonna end the series. For any kids watching, I imagine that's gonna fuck them up something fierce, seeing this hero and beacon of good from the original series just become some horrific Lovecraftian beast through his inherited temper.
Just doing my part to add a little drop of common sense to the bucket of dumb takes that is the Multimedia subforum.
What the fuck is with their seeming obsessive hatred of Greg? Jesus Christ. The one character in the show who actually feels more like a real person and they just treat him like dirt.
He's a white Cishet male, of course.
As amazing as that would be, everyone, from tumblr to reddit to even 4chan, have been dickriding Future since it aired. No matter how it ends, people will be praising it as brave and stunning and one of the best shows of the decade. Just look at Adventure Time.
I've still never understood the insane amount of praise Adventure Time receives. I tried to watch the show but holy hell I just could not force myself to give a shit about any of it. Didn't help that the theme annoyed the shit out of me, either.
I've heard stories about how younger kids find SU to be a dull show or just not enjoying it.
Some actual kids are more clever than many developmentally delayed adults.
I mean, you laugh but between Sadie and Lars splitting and Connie all but confirmed to be separating from him, it would not surprise me the least bit if Steven hooked up with a guy in a last minute montage, like in Regular Show. After last minute lesbians, the logical next is obviously last minute gays.
