(silver) Steven Universe S2 Episode 7-8 REACTION

Comments

lmao, now that is damn hilarious and horrifyingly accurate way to spell it xD

Meerkats in Disguise

unheard of!

Kenzie Warren

A Greg and Steven fusion? Oh no that would never happen...I can't imagine it

AlexanderWatches

That or she was just super in love with her and it wasn't reciprocated.

Beef Gristle Mill

We’ve had a lot of fun rose: yeah we have Me. :O

I honestly forgot how much body horrors this show can have some time the gem mutants are pretty much the equivalent of people taking the parts of dead humans and reanimating them after fusing them together it’s pretty fucked up except for gems I’m pretty sure their consciousness can exist even in a shard so it’s like doubly bad

JRax 17

So to give some context to the horror of those forced fusions. Think of it as a combination of Frankenstein’s Monster and human centipede. Each piece fused could be like a limb, finger, frontal lobe of a person stitched together. Now add in the horror that each piece is alive and still has a part of its consciousness from it original body kind of like being stitched together in human centipede. But since they are pieces there is no way to know how much of that person is there. And you are not allowed to die, you are incapable. So long as their is energy in the combined/whole gem you can never die of old age. The physical gems are like hard drives, the forms they take are basically software applications. When the program crashes (form breaks) they need a hard boot to fix the problem (reforming maybe with some settings tweaked). With this I hope it’s easier to understand the horror of the situation. Especially from Garnet’s perspective. It can also double as a very dark representation of forcing people into ‘couplings’ which is something that has historically happened.

MMdock

Yeah, I think most of us know what kind of playing Rose might be talking about!

apple jacked

In terms of the “Child Forms” thing, just to clarify- the idea is that they were simply depicted as “younger” for the sake of the flashback, it’s an aesthetic choice to show “this was a long time ago.” Those were just the forms they took at that period of time for whatever reason, which would have no bearing on their effectiveness in battle or actual life experience, but rather is just a visual signifier of the SU timeline.

ADAMNATOR

I promise I'm not one of those crazy Pearl fans (she's no Garnet or anything, she's ok) but in Pearl's defense: she comes from a race that lives for millennia, easily outclasses humans physically, and are intelligent enough to single-handedly build a (mostly) functioning spaceship in a barn (season one). I think a lot of people would be pretty salty if the person they devoted their life to for thousands of years chose a particularly charming golden retriever over them.

Not John

Yes, Gems technically don't wear clothes, because what looks like their clothes are part of their forms (they also don't have any private bits unless they choose to shapeshift them.) However, I remember the creators once said that some Gems can have actual clothes made for them for status: Jasper wore an actual cape in her first appearance.

Vilmu

One thing that’s a funny running gag for me is how obvious it is to everyone that Greg is into taller women. His brain shorted out at the rainbow quartz fusion.

Circuitdoodles

Pearl has always been a controversial character in the fandom don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. She’s a very flawed person but it makes her an interesting character that a lot of people can project on because her flaws are ironically very human.

Circuitdoodles

hell yes

Geo Beast

Greg is the best character you cant change my mind. He always takes Ls too and it makes me mad he deserves so much 😤I can guarantee that y’all are thinking waaay more about the “kid gems” thing than the writers and artists are 🤣 I think they made them look younger so it’s obvious that this is taking place in the past. It would be really confusing if all the gems looked exactly the same and Greg is the only one different.

Courtney

the comment about rose and pearl having a "mother-daughter relationship" lowkey made me recoil on instinct LMAO

Romang

Honestly Garnet’s reaction is understandable as what she witnessed was basically the equivalent to witnessing a twisted amalgam of all your deceased friends body parts reanimated and inpain

Morningstar777

i LOVE pearl, even at this stage in the show she was still my favorite character BUT idc if you find her annoying. she IS—- i just hope anyone being annoying to your won’t give you a bad taste in your mouth for the show

pollyy clunes

:) For one reason, and one reason alone, I am putting this particular reaction in my back pocket. I'm gonna hold on to it for when it's most appropriate waaaaay down the line.

DementisXYZ

I can't remember if I ever hated Pearl. I love her but I also know the whole story. I think I do remember enjoying how petty she was.

Calvin Allen

If you guys could fuse, would you do it?

Calvin Allen

very well said, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Geo Beast

This episode was for sure one of the darkest episodes for me. The way those broken gems were forced together is just so sickening. The music and the look on garnets face was also really terrifying and gave so much depth and importance to the situation. Also just to clarify, you cant heal a shattered gem, even when finding all of the pieces. Even when gems are corrupted the crystal gems still cant really do anything but bubble them. Steven/rose can heal cracked gems.

Geo Beast

H-Man knows the power of that Rizzler soundbite in Ruff's hands and said hell no 🤣🙌

Iron_Bishop

Wait what do you mean hits you like a semi truck, I finished the series and I still don't understand the things she did early season

Astro copjr8

Really the only Gem that is very much looking and acting a lot younger is Amethyst, and that's because she is that much younger. She didn't emerge from the Kindergarten until well after the war was over, the only life she's ever known was either living on her own in the abandoned Kindergarten, or being taken care of by Rose. So till Steven was born she never really had any pressure to grow up and mature.

It's so funny how different I feel from you guys about Pearl, speaking on when I first watched the series, I felt the more I learned about her the more I enjoyed her. I love that she's flawed and isn't perfectly nice because you can't always expect that of somebody, especially when that someone feels like they are being wronged in some way. In this case, Greg becoming Rose's favorite. I would say more on Pearl but I feel my knowledge of the whole series would add too much. Being someone who adores deeply flawed characters, I can't say I'm spared from sometimes feeling annoyed about how you talk about certain characters, like Pearl or even Sasha in Amphibia. I cannot understand being genuinely annoyed with them. But it's so silly to harass people over minor opinions like this, or tell them how to feel. I hope you guys keep being you and keep forming your own opinions! I think some folks should take my advice when I say, just skip over discussion that bothers you. I do it and even when I don't, you should never take it to heart or at least keep it to yourself.

drac

yeah they are headed towards THAT arc too it was quite common to not like pearl seasons 1 and 2 for those reasons 😭

Sabine Hernandez

A quick thing to note, the reason why the gems look smaller in the flashback is because Greg's adult height creates that illusion.

Azur-Wing

First of all i want to be clear about something, if you guys think that Pearl is annoying then that's completly understandable and valid, nevertheless i still want to state my personal opinion on this matter, and i say this because i don't want to come off as someone who is trying to force you to like her character. i think the reason why ya'll are still so annoyed with Pearl is because you haven't tried to think how this whole situation plays out from HER perspective. Remember... these are thousands of years old sentient beings, they don't view things the same as we do, or at least not initially. It is clear that Rose and Pearl had a thing with each other (so no H-man, it is Not a Mother and Child relationship xddd), you can just tell from the way they looked at eachother and danced with eachother before fusing, and it's also very likely that this has being their relationship for a veeeeeeery long time. but because they are from a completly different culture and because they're also from a different species... Rose (as she stated here) didn't see a problem with having intimate relationships with humans over the years even tho she and pearl already had a thing going on. Then you realize that Pearl calling Greg a "Phase" is actually kind of appropiate (although still mean) cuz... based on what Rose said in this episode... she most likely had realtionships with other humans in the past but she just became disinterested and left them or... watched them die of old age. Even in the song you can hear her talking about how Greg is so "entertaining"... almost as if she was talking about a toy, it wasn't until Greg called her out that she started questioning the way she viewed romantic relationships. and just imagine for a second that either Ruby or Sapphire de-fused and started dating a human while still having their realtionship with the other, that would be pretty messed up right? of course... that will never happen cuz Ruby and Sapphire only want to be with each other... But now you can imagine how sad Pearl's situation is... she was in love with Rose Quartz who was a Gem that loved experimenting new things... including intimate relationships with other organisms, obviously Pearl was going to become jealous... but she didn't bother to try to stop Rose because she knew Humans are not inmortal and therefore her "relationships" with them were bound to be temporary... of course until Steven Happened. oh... and talking of Steven... just to clarify... since humans and gems cannot fuse... what most likely happened for Steven to be conceived was that Rose shapeshifted the interior of her body to make Female organs and through the sexual act with Greg she was able to become pregnant. So yeah, if you analize in detail what is being presented... you will find more than enough reason for Pearl to be the way that she is... althought granted... she can be pretty mean and condescending for no real reason at times. still... if you guys don't like her that's completly ok.

Julio Castillo

I love Pearl but I think too she was a total b**ch to Greg in that episode.

Azur-Wing

This was a good week

vividlearner744

Yeah, it honestly throws people off the first time around because it's not established clearly at first just HOW young Amythest is comparatively, and that Pearl and Garnet are both thousands of years older than her, but also her hair is shorter in the flashbacks which makes her look shorter (her height never changes). Totally understandable to get confused about it and think the gems age like people do

Kemi Stanton

Plus, they all acted "younger" back then too because they were allowed to be more carefree. They had a leader to instruct them that they could rely on, they weren't dealing with grief from losing said leader, they didn't have a child to raise. You can tell especially with Garnet how much more open she was before she had to step up as the new leader of the crystal gems and take on all the responsibility for her peers and the earth that came with that.

Idle Oath

Y'all are definitely going to have to wait a while for Pearl to make sense, but while she has valid reasons your reasons for finding her annoying are totally valid. Even if you never like her by the end it's your own views and I hate that people are just giving you crap for it. Y'all should be able to just take the show as it comes.

Kemi Stanton

They look like children because Rose is two feet taller than Garnet who's already ~6 feet tall. They're all the same height relative to one another in the past and Present. Rose just makes everyone look tiny. Even Amethyst is the same size even though her behavior is slightly more immature

DRedd

I was thinking the same thing. There’s a sort of reversal with the respect you gain for Pearl and the respect you lose for Greg by the end of the series🙊

alejandro

Gems are never children. They emerge fully formed. Rose is just big because she's a quartz soldier. Amethyst is a bit unique for reasons you'll fully discover later.

Pepper

As Garnet said, the fusion worked, a fusion is the manifestation of a relationship. And it includes all relationship types from bad to good, the conversation established their relationship and cemented it, thats why it worked.

VJ Sins

Pearl is one of those cases where she definitely gets worse before she gets better. But when she gets better it's like a semi truck because everything that she's ever done starts to make sense

Maka

Remember when Stevonnie happaned? Pearl was so adamant on them unfusing, that it was unnatural yadda yadda. Thats because even if she saw Greg and Rose cant fuse, that completely broke her theory, and drove the knife in deeper. I love how much fucking flaws she hasssssss Also fuck people who harrass you for not liking her yet, you literally dont know how the show ends

VJ Sins

A Greg and Steven fusion would actually be so cool

Astro copjr8

Ah yes, thus begins stevens existential crisis about his humanity

VJ Sins

Yeah this is the part that's just so immediately messed up, when Garnet says "these were *crystal gems*, they were buried together" it implies that these mutants are the mangled corpses of their old friends and comrades, put together in a sick mockery of who Garnet is as a fusion. It's really really really messed up.

Kemi Stanton

We Need to Talk is one of my favourite episodes - the theme of communication, the way it was boarded/animated, the music, it's one of the greats for sure

Kemi Stanton

Not only are they forced fusions, they are fusions of gem SHARDS, thats essentially mutilating corpses and creating Frankenstiens. A shattered gem can't be healed, thats why they were rushing to fix Amethyst before she fully shatered, a shattered gem is just completely dead, no going back

VJ Sins

What is he on about child forms? Amythyst is the only one that looks like a kid in the past and she’s waaaaaaaaaay younger than the others

Ranginald Vagel

It feels different when you look at it as rose and pearl are in a relationship and rose regularly steps put with humans. Normally it's not an issue but this time it is cause rose is emotionally attached to greg.

TrixieTurner

ok at this point ill just say in terms of characters all 4 of you are amethysts, you like fun/cool characters so someone like pearl is just so left field for you guys lol. you might be able to understand pearl when it comes time but that wont change pearls personality, and that wont change your dislike for her, im kinda also like that. i like pearl for the type of character growth she gets but it wont change her personality, so don't let pearl fans allow you to bottle up the hate, get that hate out before you get understanding thats all! the creators didn't make her cool or fun, shes not perfect either for a reason just remember that.

KuroFem

I'm happy you guys got to my favorite episode in the entire series, "We Need to Talk." I watched the show as it was coming out, but unfortunately fell off of it around season four. I don't remember disliking Pearl up to this point in the series (Garnet still remains my favorite)--if anything I pitied her, which isn't a compliment. I'm interested in your reactions to the next few episodes... especially one in particular. Thanks for the reaction, and have a nice day!

Olivia

I feel like Perl was in a romantic relationship with rose

Mark Frado

Yeah, next week is going to be fire. Can't wait!

Sincerely, the Best.
