Yesterday, I finished watching all of Steven Universe, Steven Universe: The Movie, and Steven Universe Future for the first time because I never got the chance when I was a kid.
And..?? Iâve realized that there were a LOT of misconceptions about this show that I had before having watched it. These preconceived notions came from what I saw/heard from the fandom, which is very telling.
*MAJORRR SPOILERS FOR SU*
For one, I somehow managed to fully convince myself that Pearl was a main antagonist. Like, she was the big bad of the show. I donât know how we got there, but we did and when I was watching the show I was SWEATING and so sad because I was starting to really like Pearl so having her switch to the bad side was gonna destroy meâŚand then it never happened and Iâm SOO happy it didnât!! I was also under the assumption that Spinel was her henchman or something, and after I watched the original show and didnât see her show up, I genuinely thought she was a figment of my imaginationâŚuntil I watched the movie (I cried so hard sheâs so tragiccc)
Another one was that Rose is a terrible person.
Like..she isnât? The only reason why Steven is angry at her is because he saw her story in reverse. He knew Rose Quartz: Leader of the Rebellion and Role Model as his mom first, which then turned to Rose Quartz: Leader of the Rebellion, Not that Great? which turned to Rose Quartz: Me?, Rose Quartz: Not Me, Rose Quartz: Not Rose Quartz?!? And then Pink/Rose Quartz.
He kept uncovering parts of her from [most recent] to [the very beginning]. Rose did terrible things before, of course. But I also immediately acknowledged that she isnât the scum of the earth.
OH, and neither is Greg! I went into the first episode expecting an absolute deadbeat who didnât care about his son and what I got wasâŚadmittedly, something kind of like that minus the âdoesnât love his sonâ part.
Both Stevenâs parents are not as bad as I thought they would be (though they are still reallyyy rough).
I also thought that Steven would get to meet Pink Diamond at some pointâŚyeahh I donât know why I thought this or where I got it from (maybe those really well made fan edits and episodes) but that was just never gonna happen lol
I have a lot more but these were the âbiggerâ ones
"A girl can wait for the right man to come along, but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.â
so true. and the same goes for men.. just have fun and enjoy life! and one day maybe the right one will show up.
