- Many characters in Steven Universe have went through development whether it be little or small, but I can say with confidence the overall best developed character is Amethyst.

I think Amethyst and Steven can relate a lot because she also looks to Rose as a mother figure. I felt like during her speech in "What's Your Problem?" She almost slipped up and called Rose her mom.
Miah Green it makes sense too, I think out of all the gems she really did have more of a kid parent relationship with Rose. I view the relationship with Steven like they're siblings, they're closer in a much different way than Steven is with more mother like figures like Garnet and Pearl, or his Dad. It's also distinct from the friendships he has with his beach city friends and his young couple friendship/ relationship with Connie. If anything its so valuable to see those different relationship aspects portrayed in a show for kids, maybe it shows them their brother or sister in a new light due to that sibling dynamic.
True and honestly that was one of her most best speeches yet
Makes them even more like siblings
True and honestly that was one of her best speeches yet
Pro tip : watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING. When Pearl told Amethyst that she was the only good thing to come out of the kindergarten, that should definitely suggest that Rose didn't actually come from there. I think Pearl slipped in this moment, not thinking about how 'Rose' supposedly came from there.
FORESHADOWING!
She is from Homeworld......
Peter Rebenito no, rose quartz was supposedly from earth
Oren Goldstein rose quartz is pink diamond
Winter Swirl but "rose quartz" said she was from earth, everyone thought she was from earth, except for pearl
Oren Goldstein Yes but she is probably from homeworld since she's a diamond
I agree that Amethyst is the BEST developed character but I think the MOST developed character has to go to Steven.
meh
meh
heh
Steven's pretty much the same tho
I agree
"Can you still turn into anything?"
"Anything but respectable."
Well said as I think Amethyst is the most developed character in the series so far. Thanks for this video and an exploration on the evolution of Amethyst character.
One of the ways her character development has been the best was the fact she only got hung up on the past TWICE. Those being the "Lil' Butler" Incident with Greg and her rant/fight with Pearl in the Prime Kindergarten.
Sure, there was her moment of insecurity during her fights with Jasper. But that was towards her own personal issues, not about past events.
Whereas Pearl CONSISTENTLY lets the past affect who she is now!
Whether it be her identity, talking about the War, her own issues or even her hang ups about Rose/Pink Diamond, her relationship with Greg or Rose giving up her form to create Steven. She also has a hangup about becoming involved with humans, like Steven wants.
But in that regard, she seems to be improving.
Garnet only had...a handful of moments for character growth. Exposing Steven to her Future Vision, questioning her existence, the fight Ruby and Sapphire had about Pearl lying to form Sardonyx and of course. The not too recent falling out Sapphire had with Ruby about Rose's real identity.
But of all this, Amethyst truly had the most frequent development
I think that Amethyst, Peridot, Lapis and Steven are all very well developed, but so's Pearl. I agree that Amethyst has developed the most, but the Crewniverse has done a good job of developing pretty much all of the main and secondary characters, which I think is very great
I can relate to Amethyst a lot, I tend to hide my insecurites under this veil of carefree apathy. My decisions can be rash, and I can also be immature, but it' s only an extra measure to hide my flaws. Which I'm sure Amethyst can resonate with.
Totally and same
I agree Amethyst is the best developed character. You can see that she jokes threw her feelings. She rather think about other people than her self
HEY YOU! YES YOU! SCROLLING IN THE COMMENTS! I hope your having an awesome day 👍
Aww ty Markis
Thanks! You, too! 😊
Kutekwaii Aj thanks
Thanks you too :)
Aww ty Markis
Amethyst will be one of the most memorable characters to me. I never expected her to get so much character development, and I truly love how the Crewniverse wrote her story~!!!
I don't know 🎵
Onion has been developing his character for longer than Amethyst.
oh yah he went from a criminal to a wedding watcher
Oml XD
Is this a onion with layers joke?
boi
What character? Onions just weird
If you think about it, "What's Your Problem" Is more of a Smoky Quartz episode than the first one she actually appeared in....
What about Pearl? She's had tons of development as well, especially recently with the Pink Diamond reveal.
guinealover6674 !!! I actually thought the reveal of pink diamond brought her development back
Yeah but she still has a very narrow minded and controlling personality
guinealover6674 !!! I honestly think that pearl has had great development, but her story is far from over. We don't know her full origin yet and she hasn't gotten over pink diamond. When that happens then I can agree she's the best
guinealover6674 !!! I believe the difference between Pearl and Amethyst is that the peak of Amethyst’s development is happening present day. As in she is now developing very quickly in the timeframe the show is running. Pearl has a much greater history than Amethyst, being gifted to Pink Diamond (possibly originating from being White diamond’s pearl but that’s yet to be confirmed), guiding Pink Diamond through her first colony, developing feelings for Pink Diamond, joining by Pink Diamond’s side as she started a war against herself, poof-ing her own Diamond (may not be original but I expect that carries a lot of mental strain), witnessing a whole planet GENOCIDE and seeing her friends turn into mindless beasts which she must hunt down and trap for what she expects to be the rest of eternity and then losing Pink Diamond/ Rose Quartz. Her story’s peak happened before Steven’s began. Sure she has had development during the show but let’s be honest, where she shines is her history and how much deeper her lore goes beyond the others.
shes developed but nit as much as amethyst
Honestly, I wanna know more about Amethyst's past, how she met the other crystal gems, etc, what it was like for her when she first formed. That and more about how our pearl met pink diamond, and a bunch of stuff about the original pink pearl
Well Pearl would have been gifted to her. When she disappeared it seems that the diamonds at that time wouldnt have cared that her Pearl was missing too.
What about Lars! He went from jerk to bingo bongo!
Reece Garner while he does have a lot of development I kind of think that he has too much capability of falling back into some jerkish thoughts. But he can and does work through it
Also Stevens tears brought him back healed emotionally as a more wholesome person. Any of his character development after coming to life was thanks to Steven.
I agree to be honest! Though I do wish the moment where Amethyst shape shifted into Rose were brought up, addressed, and explained as well as it's what most people who don't agree she's developed default to thinking about first. Many seem to argue that since she didn't get repercussions for that action, she didn't learn even though everything she's done and become has shown she did learn her lesson in never hurting people like that again. Plus, in the way that people say that, Pearl never received consequences either when she had an outburst about Steven finding Rose's sword in lion and having more connection to her that Pearl. Pearl had left Steven to die making him think it was his fault, and he climb from nearly falling to cheer her up. That didn't come with consequences either, but in the way Pearl developed, she did still have similar outbursts. Still, she did still learn later on that she shouldn't blame others for Rose/Pink being gone, and she definitely shouldn't make it anyone's problem when she feels some kind of way about her and Rose's relationship. People just seem to find Amethyst lack of apparent consequences more obvious than anyone else's for some reason when many other have done similar things.
Touche, I love how Amethyst got to be from a Childish, fun Loving gem, to an mature, serious gem.
I loved amethyst’s character development. She became someone that I feel like Steven really could have someone to talk to. Pearl would mother him to much, garnet would already know and wouldn’t seem to care, but amethyst would listen, she’s chill and knows how he’s feeling somewhat so she’d be the best choice I would think,
Yeah Amethyst is my favorite character for this reason.
Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli are the most relatable characters because they tackle mental health, body issues, self image, trauma, and inferiority complexes.
Amethyst has a lot on her shoulders, just like Steven, Amethyst is a gem equivalent to someone with a birth defect, similar to Padparadscha Sapphire. Her mother figure was a facade, just like Steven. She has to watch Steven, who is essentially her little brother, suffer due to his mother's legacy. She was constantly bullied by Garnet and Pearl in previous seasons, and is usually the first one to check on Steven.
In What's your Problem, Amethyst put him before herself. Not only is she the most mature Crystal Gem, but she is the most human like gem.
Amethyst is the best developed character, and it will be hard to overcome the precedents she's set for character development, when it comes to the other characters.
Matthew Dyke The only thing I disagree in here is that she is the most human gem
The most human gem is definitely Rose/Pink
I mean she makes mistakes that any human would make and feel things every human would feel and is selfish and foolish like any child would be
Is like they say
Nobody is flawless
Not even a Diamond
Most devoloped charters out of 3
1. Amythist
2. Connie
3.Pearl
This is an opinion does anyone agree?
Not really but ok
Not really
Amethyst yeah Pearl Kinda Connie eh
WhirlWind connie used to be a goody twoshoes and now is a sword fighter
1.steven
2.amythest
3.pearl
My list
Amethyst is my birthstone and in top of that I have so much of her feelings inside. I love her. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Me too I'm just like her
Killa Pickle Pirate Panda peridot is my favorite crystal gem and she has always been, a few months later I learned that peridot is my birthstone.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT
I may be a sapphire, but I act nothing like a little miss future perfect
My birthstone is garnet which I think is the best fusion because of ruby and sapphire
Honestly Amethyst actually did the right thing to encourage steven to think abt huis feelings too in what's your problem
For me her development is par on Steven's. He was a character that was kind of annoying during the first seasons but he matured a lot while learning about his mother past.
Amethyst is a great character! Rly loved her recent episode where she made the conscious choice not to break down in front of Steven cos it's the last thing he needed out of all the mess he went thru. Too bad that some ppl are still mad abt her reforming as Rose in that one episode :(
Onion season 1: mamama
Onion season 5: MamaMa
I think onion is the most developed character
🌟💜🌟
Amethyst is my favorite character!
At first it was Garnet, for generic coolness.
Then Peridot, for being quirky, funny, and adorable.
I loved Amethyst's development, and her experiences reminded me so much of my own, she ended up worming her way as my favorite character, despite the fact I previously couldn't stand her when I thought she was just the "gross/comedic" character trope.
i don't think "best" is the right word for what you describe. amethyst sounds like the most positively developed character. as in start to present she has had the growth.
Amethyst and Peridot are definitely the top two most developed characters out of everyone.
And they are 1 and 2 for my favorite characters
Everyone keeps forgetting about Peridot. She had a really good arc as well. She earned her redemption and we saw her grow as a character.
You just can say that Amethyst developed more and more in every single "Amethyst" episode
I actually thought that she had more character development every time she got a new. Outfit like in reformed and crack the whip
Thanks so much for sharing this! I enjoyed that video a lot more than I thought I would and the fact that you went back to look through episodes that helped develop her further really made the video special to me. It was an entertaining way to look back and nod in agreement. It also gave me the itch to watch the whole show again. Might do that with a friend that hasn't watched it yet. Thanks again!
this made me realize that, prior to "too far" amethyst had no idea that she was off-coloured. this whole time i thought her bratty attidute in reason 1 (which peaked in "on the run") was because of that fact, and only now it dawned to me that she (or even the viewer for that matter) she didn't even know about it until peridot pointed it out in season 2. so her development in season 1 centered around her accepting her origins, while seasons 2 and 3 focused on her accepting who she is now. that's... pretty neat, tho i think she still has some ways to go (like opening up about her feelings more and not letting them bottle up)
I don't get why Amethyst is very observant of everyones feelings, but everyone exept steven and peridot is observant of hers
Amethyst is the best character
Another good character moment for Amethyst is close to when she sings tower of my mistakes.
She is my favorite since I started to watch the show 😍💜💘
I would disagree with the opinion that Amethyst is the best developed Gem. My big problem with her development as a character is the fact that she never really had to face any consequences for any of the questionable things she did ranging from antagonizing Pearl (I'm not claiming that Pearl was completely blameless in these interactions) to self-destructive behavior that put herself as well as others In harm's way as well as full-blown malicious emotional manipulation like when she shape-shifted into Rose to torment and manipulate Greg. The episode in the kindergarten would have been fine as an explanation of why she is emotionally damaged but the problem is it comes off more as an excuse for it. A tragic backstory doesn't excuse her behavior. They're really needed to be something else to make her face some sort of consequences. I would argue that Pearl is the best developed Gem. Her tragedy and struggle are made agonizingly clear and her faults are highlighted and addressed.
um amethyst has been crucified for doing that characters like lapis and pearl have done much worse things. With amethyst she was left on earth talking to rocks until rose, garnet and pearl found her. Amethyst already made it up for greg by cleaning out his garage but yes while it was emotional manipulation or uncalled for, amethyst has faced the consequences already by going through hell and back in her character arc with jasper and steven. Pearl's backstory is tragic yes but she isn't really the best developed since she doesn't show as much emotional maturity as amethyst does now. Pearl is still really messed up from the pink diamond shattering and losing pink/rose she still has a lot to go through to be fully developed
shredded_hope I would hardly consider Amethyst's interaction with Jasper facing consequences for her actions. And I don't
really see how cleaning a garage is making amends for transforming into somebody's dead wife in order to taunt him because he didn't do what she wanted. Sure Greg did forgive her easily but that's just the kind of guy Greg is. As far as I'm concerned that debt hasn't been paid yet. And sure she had a rough time on Earth before she met the other Gems but like I said a tragic past doesn't excuse bad behavior.
In regards to Lapis I would highly disagree that anything she did in the show even came close to how awful the things Amethyst did were. And the big difference in the way Amethyst story arc is handled in comparison to both Lapis and Pearl is the fact that their wrongdoings are highlighted and addressed. Trapping Jasper in the fusion was just as damaging to Lapis as it was to Jasper and she had to acknowledge that it wasn't a healthy way to deal with the problem and decide to be better. Manipulating Garnet into fusing with her under false pretenses nearly destroyed Pearl's relationship with Garnett. It made her have to acknowledge and overcome her own weaknesses before she and Garnett could make amends. All Amethyst did was clean the garage.
shredded_hope. Amethyst chose to hang around the kindergarten talking to rocks. She had a whole world to explore if she wanted, all she had to do was start walking to see what she could find.
MrClobbertime That's not totally true. Remember, gems are made to be told what to do by their supervisors or Diamonds. Amethyst being either reluctant or just not thinking about leaving the Kindergarten probably has to do with the fact that she needed guidance. She didn't even know a war was going on, she was still waiting for her orders. When Rose came that's when she realized that the planet she was living on was no longer for Homeworld
Exactly! Because of these reasons I kinda dislike Amethyst...
Not gonna lie, at the end of this video, I was tearing up just because of Amethyst and how far she's come.
1. Steven 2. Amethyst 3. Peridot 4. Lars 5. Pearl
Amethyst is a fucking soldier for being able to move forward and mature but most times I feel like Pearl regresses
Litterly every character has been majorly developed/ has been explored. Theres steven (obviously) who went from goofy immature child who only wanted to be like rose to the most emphatic character of the show and now wants to be his own gem and not like rose/ pink. Theres pearl who went from stuck up soccer mom to a very emotionally damaged induvidual who cant escape her past. Garnet who went from strong stoic leader who always knew whats best, to an emotionally complex characters who often feels lost in the world due too her inability to correct see the future. Which all makes sense because according ro Rebecca Sugar pear represents past, amethyst is the present, and garnet is future. Not only that we also have lapis who went from hating the crystal gems to constantly feeling trapped weather it be the mirror or malachite or earth in general, to an emotionally distant gem, to a full fleged crystal gem fighing the diamonds. Peridot who went from kinda goofy antagonist to a confused ally who didnt know how her surroundings worked, to almost pure comic relief, to basical lapis's yes man, to a stupidly brave crystal gem. Jasper who went from this flawless quartz solder to a fusion and power addicted mess. And we have rose who went from perfect flawless being, to a morally gray individual who is mostly characterised by being selfish careless and just overall just kinda not being great.
Bruh I’m so salty, my birthstone is aquamarine and they really took such a pretty gem and made it that little shit 🤣🤣🤣
Amethyst is my favorite character in Steven Universe
Yay! Someone’s finally made this! Someone show this to Just a Robot!
Why?
Jupiter Winterwoods Just a Robot is probably the biggest amethyst hater on youtube. It gets to the point where he requests his fans to make fanart of him shattering her.
What Pkfreeze said. I am actually afraid to comment on his channels because he actually stated that if you are a fan of Amethyst, he hates you.
@@yuffie25 yeah I watched his channel some more and he seems like a total a-hole
She disguised her flaws as humor
I feel like people hate Amethyst for no reason.
everyone has there reason even you
IM GLAD SOMEONE MADE A VIDEO ON AMETHYST! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
i think amethyst is the most human-like gem because she hadn’t been through homeworlds conditioning like the other crystal gems or peridot, lapis, or jasper
I love her dispite her flaws
Honestly I really want to see you do an in-depth look at Peridot! I believe she has had the most growth and change over the course of the series. It's always incredibly subtle in how she does it in alot of ways as well
I love Amethyst so much X3
The best developed character is obviously Steven, but yeah Amethyst takes the 2nd spot.
Why does this make me cry so much
i agree the show dose not give amethyst that much screen time so she is very overlooked
its sad since she is one of the best characters 🤩
meehhh
Amethyst, best game of 2018.
*gem
Ok, this is why she is my favorite out of the three main crystal gems.
There's only one thing I can't forgive amethyst for. That one fucked up moment she turned into Rose to hurt Greg. Just no.
I'm liking this video just because it has the words "amethyst" and "best" in a sentence.
I love amethyst
Amethyst, best gem of 2018.
Agree!
Can you make more on the development of other characters in the show?
I think she’s definitely bed developed, pearl is a
Close second
While I LOVE Amethyst, I feel like Garnet has to be the most developed considering she not only has her own development as a fusion, as an experience, but also her own development is inseparably intertwined with the personal development of Ruby & Sapphire. That's more simply because of the core principles of fusion imo
In that Case alexandrite is the most developed character
@@Marixchatt one would think that but I'm adding Garnets personal growth as well. Alexandrite never grew as a fusion. I think they're saving that
I'M CRYING IN THE CLUB RIGHT NOW
I’m so proud amethyst is my birthstone she’s just the best
thumbs up before i watched, lol
in my opinion Lars, or Connie would be second
amethyst is my Spirit animal
i repsect your opinion and can agree a lot i would think peridot is the most changed character
Yass love Amethyst ! My fave character
If you had made this video before the recent Heart of the Crystal Gems, I would've disagreed, though I would concede that Amethyst's development was still ongoing. However, What's Your Problem is what got me to that, especially Steven stating she was the most mature CG and ultimately her reaction to it. It was essentially still acting like a child/teenager until you realize that you're actually 24, 25 and you've just made a major adult life decision.
I do disagree that Pearl is second to that because I actually think Connie is next in line - though Connie has always been the more mature when compared with Steven - and third place would be held by Garnet as of these latest episodes. This isn't to say that I think Pearl hasn't been developed, because she has BUT in going with R Sugar's statements that Pearl is the CG that Steven knows the least about, she's still going through her development, now with less RQ/PD angst because she was able to reveal the truth.
The character I think that has had the least development is actually Steven. On several occasions I've pointed out how most of his decisions have been disastrous and I am not all behind the notion that he's the leader of the CGs now (not unless they all want to die fiery deaths). However, what I think fans don't want to see/read/hear is that Steven is ALSO still developing; yes, he's made some good calls, but being right 4 out of 10 times does not make you a leader.
I still maintain that when Steven actually acts his age, stops seeing in the world in black and white (in the way Connie popped out her 'rose colored' glasses when her eyes were healed), and stops minimizing his life just as 'Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond's son' THEN he'll have reached the level of character development the way Amethyst (as not needing to be a version of what Jasper was and no longer feeling shame about where she came from), Connie (going from a shy girl to a confident warrior who has/continues to let her parents know what amount of freedom she's comfortable with), Garnet (being able to show vulnerability as leader and no longer being a fusion because she was told she was the answer), and Pearl (finally coming to grips with her past and her feelings, making amends with Greg, protecting Steven because of STEVEN, hopefully gaining a better understanding and appreciation of humans by dating a human *fingers crossed*) and then, and only then, will he be in a position to actually be a leader for the gems.
last time i was this early the gem war started
jasper made two accounts to dislike this viedo
Jasper is corrupted, have some respect man....
To me Steven has the best character development
He was my least favorite character and became my favorite in 3 seasons
Remember when he was just an annoying little shit that pestered the gems to go on missions with them
And today he teaches people fucking life lessons that a formed psychologist would need days to teach someone in one phrase
And he is also insanely powerful with is great because now he is useful to the gems and now they don’t just neglect him and blame him for his mother’s death
But don’t worry he still blames himself so this plot is still not solved
Yayyyyyy?
Thats really realistic though. For example i am am an only child and my dad passed away before my mom. In the weeks before my mom died i could only bring myself to do short hospital visits. Some times only a half hour and toward the end not even every day. In my heart I know I did the best I could and she had other visitors but I still to this day - 4 years later have some self blame .... A lot of self blame about that. The hardest person to forgive is ourself and self blame - even mine and steven's is something we may not ever get over even knowing that logically there isnt a reason for the self blame.
@@Lucailey of course, it's all psychological. Steven isn't in any way at fault for what happened to Rose, it was her choice and hers alone, but he still blamed himself for it because the universe did it's best to remind him for his whole life that things would be better if she was around, and when he stopped believing that, all the bullshit she did started to come to haunt him, and then the cycle just restarted. It's an endless loop, but he managed to beat it somewhat. Maybe never completely, but that's okay.
also forgot lapis
White diamond is now definitely the best developed character in the show
YESSSS OMG I AGREE!!!
I agree
She best cuz she T H I C C
Amethyst, best girl!!!
can you do a video on Peridot?
Unpopular opinion: Amethyst is honestly on the list of the characters that I like the least,
And yes, she IS developed, but she's really apathetic sometimes..
this is a pretty popular opinion actually, amethyst is underrated and most of the fans seem to ignore her since she's pretty much the least liked crystal gem
Yesss
Amethyst is my least favorite character of the crystal gems, but i do realize that she is very developed.
Dude. SAME.
"How Amethyst is *So* Mature."
Ouch
She is mature because she puts the feelings of others before her own. She acts like the clown to make other people and gems last. Amethyst is one of the most. Selfless characters on a cartoon. She carries a ton of depression and hurt but wont let others see that. She uses laughter to try and make everyone around her happy - even actually most especially when she is doubting herself. That is is a type of maturity that a character like Pearl or Garnet wouln't really understand. Of course they have ways she does not understand but she isnt this big child they make her out to be.
Huh
Sure it may seem like that. But thing with Amethyst is: it is not so dificult to see an advance/develop in someone that is has no personality (at first). So it comes normal to see clearly the develop of that character, while others have a personality in-deep go-tru since the beginning.
Maybe the 2nd best lol
No peridot
No we all have our own opinions I was just being a ahole
Good video, I like Amethyst but pink diamond was wayyyy more developed, going from a selfish childlike character to an emphatic mother-goddess who led an army
amethyst is better with a white shirt
I think Lars has the best development.
There's 41 comments!!!!!!!!
wrong the best developed character is steven
khhhh
Hii
.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I feel like that they could have done better with Steven Universe
