Steven Universe - Now a Griefing Thread

This has to be one of the few endings that made me feel nothing. Everything predicted came true with no twist or deviation. It was as clearly trying to tug at the heart strings but it just didn’t land.
As for which is the better ending...I dunno. It’s not the worst ending but it’s not exactly the ending we desperately needed.

Well, in the end the little tard got some curry pussy and is finally living his own life in one of the thirty-nine (The South is flooded because FUCK RAYSISM and sheeiiit) states and doing his own shit. Really, after watching this show for seven (holy fuck) years, the ending was kind of disappointing. One of my friends up and quit because of how they handled White's Redemption, and really I only stuck around because, being the sadist I am, I just had to see how this all ends.

Admittedly the ending could've been far, FAR worse here. What we got was a milque-toast ending. A lot of plot-lines are left unresolved (what's in the fucking chest, Sugar?), a lot of fusions the fans wanted to see are left empty, and we're left with a few side characters having absolutely nothing. Again though, this could've been worse. If I was a new fan to the series or had an IQ sub Forrest Gump levels I'd probably be quite pleased with it. As it stands though, ending the show with a group therapy session, then jumping forward a few months to the boy leaving home all of a sudden, just suddenly breaks the pace of the show. Of course I say that as if the pacing, especially the last season of Steven Universe proper, wasn't completely and utterly fucked to begin with.

It comes close to being the most sensational animated series ever made in the United States. Count on Ms. Sugar: she doesn't do things by halves. ... Upon the screen she discovered an area large enough for her expansive whims to have free play. And the consequence is that she has made a series of tremendous and overpowering scope, not in physical extent so much as in its rapid and graphic rotation of thoughts. Ms. Sugar has put upon the screen an animated show that really moves.

Mods, you may lock the thread now.

Rose Quartz is the emblem of the security, hope and innocence of childhood, which a man can spend his life seeking to regain. It is the green light at the end of Gatsby's pier; the leopard atop Kilimanjaro, seeking nobody knows what; the bone tossed into the air in “2001.” It is that yearning after transience that adults learn to suppress. “Maybe Rose Quartz was something he couldn't get, or something he lost,” says Garnet, the gem assigned to the puzzle of Steven’s final word. “Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything.” True, it explains nothing, but it is remarkably satisfactory as a demonstration that nothing can be explained. “Steven Universe” likes playful paradoxes like that. Its surface is as much fun as any animated program ever made. Its depths surpass understanding. I have analyzed it a shot at a time with more than 30 groups, and together we have seen, I believe, pretty much everything that is there on the screen. The more clearly I can see its physical manifestation, the more I am stirred by its mystery.

No. It was objectively nothing.

-No Pink Diamond? I mean what the FUCK. I hate Pink and what they did to her character. But one of the biggest compelling parts of the plot is the mysterious lack of relationship between Steven and his mom. This should have been about confrontation, both in the self and with Steven coming to terms with what his mom did and realizing that it's okay to still care about her, if only because his mom was missing his whole life. Pink's complete lack of true redemption in a show that does nothing BUT hand out redemption feels hollow and unemotional. We already KNOW that everyone loves Steven and will support him. But what about Pink, the thing that MADE Steven and has been gone the entire series? Fuck that, I guess. That plot never mattered. Steven forgiving his mother never mattered.

-Side characters? Fuck them too. Fuck their arcs. They don't have any. We don't get to see them living their best lives in the final episode or how they've changed. Spinel and the Diamonds are awol. Lars is never seen again. That bitch Sadie I don't even think is there? I don't know why these characters were even focused on for so many endless filler episodes when the show doesn't really give a shit about them.

-Also, since when is no one there for Steven? Look at the whole show. EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM coddles and nurtures Steven. Everyone supports him. But the finale is about how everyone needs to show him they care uwu. Bullshit. Everyone has held Steven's hand this whole series. Steven never needed to doubt how loved he was or how supported he was. So he throws a tantrum and everyone continues to simper and coddle to him instead of telling him to get his head out of his ass. You can comfort someone without playing up to them. Tumblr shit is all about that nonsense without realizing that you need to balance soft and tough love.

-Monster-Steven resolved in 15 minutes, the thing everyone was hyped up for. And a HUG fixes it. I have no words.

A lackluster finale that everyone will drool over and will collectively forget within a year, if not ten minutes afterwards.

It really says something when Regular Show had a better ending from 2017. And it still hasn’t been topped.

Well, at the end it didnt add nothing new to the series and there were so many things they could have done to make it more compelling, how about a gem civil war because some factions wanted to keep the old system back? But I understand that if they had only one season, they couldnt make the storyline too complex. At the end, I praise them for sticking to their guns: that understanding and communication are ways to solve disputes, and I think thats good, good guy destroys evil dude is basically the solution to most cartoons and anime, so they gave us something different. I still love the show, and I think the ending wasnt so bad it sours the rest of the story. It was just bland.
