What do you know about the Earth?

Peridot was the best case of villain joining the good guys in TV since Zuko from Avatar. Her redemption arc was the best part of the whole show.

This. Every subsequent redemption/recruitment paled in comparison though. Plus how clear it was that the crew didn’t actually know what to do with the new cast members when they stopped being villains.

Too bad she was annoying as fuck during it.

Zuko sucked. He should have joined in the season 2 finale

>I think you're pretty great.

>t. stupid Zutaran

Zuko needed to understand that he didn't want what he thought he wanted first.

;_;

You just posted it

it's why i fucking hate how they dropped her so quickly afterwards and she got turned into "hehe funny meme goblin" by zuke. she should've become a main member of the cast instead of being shoved into the barn with lapiss

these three and the season 1 finale

this except that you can't ignore that after that redemption arc she got absolutely fucking ruined

White Diamond meeting Steven.

God, what an ugly and annoying cartoon. I'm glad it's over.

Steven's breakdown in Everything's Fine for the most recent one.

All the porn of my two favorite blue girls

>Do you remember this place? Do you have any of her memories? We were right here, over 5,000 years ago.

To me the show started here

They just found out Pink's killer was alive, give them rest

Yeah this really sounds like a nitpick when the show as kind of doing that already. We even had an arc where each CG deals with finding out about Pink in their own way, but because it wasn't all screaming and angst like in anime I guess that doesn't count.

>anime is nothing but screams
I hate this timeline

the peridot porn

Peridot, in fact, did not know more about the Earth. Like, not even close, it seems.

Unrelated to specific moments, but best part of the early show (season 1 and 2) is here, the art direction. The show used to have a really tightly controlled color palette - watch early episodes and how cool blues and purples turn to reds in dramatic moments, compared to the artificial greens and orange on the hand ship in Jailbreak. I think it was really important for the show, which central theme is that life on Earth is beautiful and worth protecting, to actually look pretty.

Where did it all go wrong?

>It's talking to him? It shouldn't be able to do that. I-it should just be following orders...
>Garnet, do something.

>You should just give us back the mirror. It will be safer where we can watch it.
>Yeah, let's bubble it!

>Steven. Don't make me have to take it from you.
>It doesn't want to go with you. Don't you hear it screaming?
>Steven, it's just a mirror, a tool. It can't want anything.

>It wants to be with ME!

He was already shown in S2 that what he wanted was a false promise and he acknowledged it.

Funny. That's about where the show died to me. Pearl's over protective nature being less about caring for Steven and more for redirecting her obsessive love for Rose/Pink made her creepy and shitty.

It's pretty obvious she mostly separates Steven from Pink/Rose, she wouldn't back talk Rose ever like she does and lines like
>What do you know? You never even met her!
or
>Now I've got to be there for her son
couldn't happen. Their dynamic is different from what Pearl had with Pink/Rose even if their is some interception.

This was probably my favorite moment because it represented the show's potential that I was excited to see. New characters and proper villains for the first time (including Peridot, who if we recall used to be an imposing threatening figure!!) and of course our first glimpse of the enigmatic Yellow Diamond, who we knew nothing about. It was like being fifty pages into a book that has five hundred more.

Season 2 was kino. Unfortunate it went to shit real fast.

>that SDCC video where this was first revealed
>the crowd goes wild when Yellow Diamond turns around
God I miss that

Definitely one of the top moments from the show.

That time he saved the day by crying
I did like Amethyst though, as much as I dislike the rest of the show. I can relate. I'm not a fat lesbian but I am a slob who gives very little fucks.

This. Even the second version with the mysterious piano was great.

So...never?

Did they ever cover the fact that dispite the fact they "gems" pearls aren't even a gem, or even a rock for that matter? It's like a tooth made by a mollusc to prevent sand from tearing it up from inside.

Change your mind was the best summation of the shows themes that you can hope for. Shit made me well up a little.

Peridot is literally just Zim with a vagina.

how do you know Zim doesn't have a vagina? or several?

not really, Zim's a way bigger asshole

Isn't it great how the diamonds were stripped of all their dignity and turned into useless retards just so they could show up and act like steven's silly meme grandmas every time an episode needs comedy relief

probably the best scene in Future desu

The uncle grampa crossover

And bismuth is a metal. They didn't address it and just rolled with what more or less fit.

>"You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do, but that's not true. I haven't learned a thing from my problems. They've all just made me 'worse'."
Heavily reminded me of Spinel's line from the movie:
>"All that stuff is easy for you to say. When you change, you change for the better. When I change, I change for the 'worse'."
Feels like a contradiction now since Steven didn't change for the better after everything he went through.

THIS

God damn it, I need to reawatch the whole thing, this show had so many great moments. But I can't believe no one said Jail Break yet, I remember that it was the episode that made it the number 1 most talked about cartoon here.

Season 1a was interesting, 1b was the peak, everything else is a slow but steady fall into abyss

Was clod a code word for nigger?

It would've been better if her evil days were, you know, actually evil. The worst thing she does is ordering to fire a laser at the CG in The Return ep. Hardly enough to warrant a redemption arc spanning multiple eps.

This scene was super forced and predictable, and I think around this time is when I dropped the show

That ep is more evidence of Season 1B being the show's peak. It was easily the most consistent batch of good eps by a long shot

We all are, buddy. It's over. Time for some people to rejoin society after leaving it in 2013

That was the highlight of an otherwise sloppy ep. All of the previous scenes are just awkward dialogue and unfunny fart jokes.

Notice how that ep was in production back in 2013. Back when CN Studios gave a shit about quality. Snyder was still in charge at that point.

IMO it was less about the redemption for her few evil deeds and more about her change or heart over what was the right thig to do. She was never a fighter to begin with, she was a scientist, of course there won't be many cases of her punching the good guys.

Season 2 was hit and miss. Not as sloppy as the following seasons, but not much happens in it. I'd say the only real highlights of Season 2 were Sworn to the Sword and Keeping it together. Eps like Rising Tides, Say Uncle and Sadie's Song were really weak, and even Full Disclosure was a weak follow up to Jail Break

Pretty much, yeah. The decline was so noticeable that it was almost tangible

True, but a little more evilness or insight on her perspective would've made her change of heart more touching and interesting. They should've also given more focus and plot relevance after the Cluster thing, but that's entirely on Zuke
