I'm surprised that Steven didn't call Peridot out on

not being able to pull a weapon

well from his perspective shes a baby gem like him, he will use his own experiences of difficulties with drawing a weapon and not bother her about it

cause steven is nice like that

 

[User 73706]

The hand ship IS peridot's weapon.

 

[TheCongressman1]

you think she is going to be evil again?

Spoiler

as she clearly already turned to the side of Steven

I don't think she was ever evil. I think she has plenty of room to be convinced to go either way.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Peridot's weapon






is her mind

 

[Hamlet]

Oh Steven

They're clearly doing a vegeta with Peridot. Steven is probably the first person to be nice and sweet to her and it seems to be getting with her.


After they deal with the cluster I wouldn't be surprised if they go through standard "bad guy turning good" tropes.

-her previous allies arrive and she joins up with them again
- she sticks with them for a while until she feels guilty. Maybe she bargains to bring Steven with them if the planet is doomed
-Steven convinces her to save the planet

[dity]

Oh Steven

"See, we were safe. Never let go."

 

[Weiss]

It really hard to sympathize with Peridot knowing that she's involved in some Mengele-esque experiments on other gems.

Garnet should probably confront her over those fusion monsters.

This episode made it clear that Peridot had nothing to do with the actual creation of the Mutant Gems, and it was all done at the end of the war before Peridot was born.

As far as Peridot's concerned, the Mutant Gems are just experiments, the Crystal Gems are traitors, and Garnet is a monster.

Kind of this. She isn't much of a villain as a member of the military. She came in to a planet with a mission and didn't have time to sympathize with the locals like the crystal gems. As far as she knows the crystal gems are traitors

In hindsight after yesterday's episode, Ronaldo was actually right...half right?

How are they pulling a Vegeta? The whole DBZ comparison never really worked for me yes here and there you can see some similarities (/Nods/references) but other than that I don't see it.

There's no guarantee it is particularly a vegeta, it's just the name used the most now since it's a former villain/enemy turned good. I could have said a green Ranger or a piccolo too.

 

[mightynine]

Oh Steven

That's two episodes in a row where Steven has taken a pretty big fall and is, for the most part, no worse for wear. Coincidence or building up to something?

Well, it was revealed that he hasn't ever been to a hospital, too.

Immunity to fall damage?



I'm now totally betting Peridot and Steven are going to fuse at some point.

But Steven HAS been hurt before. Steven had a black eye in Return/Jail Break.

This is cartoon logic. When he gets hit for comical purposes it's not going to leave a bruise.

Well yeah. Dude's gotta look tough. He was in jail after all!

Into Mecha-Shiva?

 

[zulux21]

She can be Krillin. He was technically "bad" at one point, right?

Tiny, head with weird thing on it, doesn't know much. Probably will marry a robot.

krillin was just a jerk early on never really evil.

there is way more to vegeta then merely once an enemy turning to the good side via team up.

I mean if you want to strictly go that route it's closer to piccolo, but peridot is absolutely nothing like vegeta and I don't get why anyone would say they are doing a vegeta.

it would be like saying steven universe and avatar the last air bender are the exact same show because they both involve main characters that have special powers @_@.

I'm not gonna argue semantics over a throwaway name I mentioned lol

 

[dity]

So I finally watched the episode.

Peridot totally has a crush on Steven. She thinks he's the bees knees.

 

[PSqueak]

Spoiler

EDIT: Also, did Garnet tell Steven that she loved him because she saw him getting the information from Peridot?

No,

Spoiler

Garnet has become more and more expressive about her emotions and feelings for steven since around the mid of season one, it's character development, she started as a stoic and sort of emotionless figure, but as time is going by she is allowing herself to show her emotions openly more, this is why nowadays she is the one that acts more motherly of the 3

 

[zulux21]

I actually do compare this show to avatar a decent amount lol.

there is actually a lot the two share when you really get down to it, but that is because both are quality shows that are designed to build upon heavy lore with a mix of comedy and story.

avatar was obviously focused on story a bit more but steven universe is quickly catching up.

So I finally watched the episode.

Peridot totally has a crush on Steven. She thinks he's the bees knees.

it was to be expected. Exploring the theme of if steven is more of a gem or human it was likely he was going to get a gem counterpart to connie. Just turned out it was peridot instead of lapis lol.

can't wait for him to fuse with peridot, I am curious how they go with that design.

 

[dity]

I'd agree. Garnet didn't have much of an in-house role before, now it's like Steven has two mothers and a big sister. It works very well IMO.

 

[doop_]

That was really great episode, I feel like they are building up a sibling like relationship between Steven and Peridot. Also who thinks Peridot will pull her weapon against the cluster.

The animation world is small; there's overlap between the production teams of both Venture Bros. and this show

I've always seen Garnet as the strong "fatherly" figure and Pearl as the mother one, if we were placing this in traditional roles.

Spoiler

Peridot is the young cousin from the city.

I've never seen Garnet as a father figure to him. Before being like another mom, she was his life mentor in my eyes.

or a three way triangle with Lapis and Peridot fighting over him

 

[Blood Diamonds]

okay wow, those episode titles for the rest of season 2 have me really hyped

 

[Toxi]

Oh Steven

He's lucky his Gem seems to be a bit tougher than Amethyst's.

 

[zeemumu]

Well he's got Rose's stone, right? Hers is likely more durable and powerful than Amethysts.

They're both quartzes though, so they should logically be the same toughness.

Unless...

Pink Diamond confirmed?

 

[JC Sera]

anyone else getting the feeling peridot might be the first gem steven fuses with?

 

[Modest Mauser]

Got around to seeing the new episode. It was wonderful. They've done a great job at combining little quiet emotional moments that make the show so lovable with pretty interesting world building and plot advancement. I hope this continues for a while.

 

[DrForester]

So, do we figure Garnet saw that leaving her alone with Steven was the only way to get her to open up about the Cluster?

 

[Chezzymann]

Apparently there's a 30 second long preview for the next episode. Since the episode is only 11 minutes that's a sizeable chunk, but here it is if y'all wanna watch it
