- It was so borinng.... but that's alright, I guess. Steven Universe has given me enough to not outright hate it's send-off. I'm simply disappointed that it didn't go out with a bang.
~~~
I was going to sing these lyrics to a potential song I made that everyone would sing to calm Steven....idk... what do you guys think? Should I bother making it to completion?

Small child, young man, but large problems.
The harsh winter’s come before autumn.
And I see before me, behind the cracked lee;
My son, steven universe, surrounded by sea--
And the waves, crashing down- (lapis)
In your pain you’ve drowned- (peridot)
But know that, we love you- (bismuth)
Bit more than you chewed- (spinel)
“Steven, Steven Universe”
“Steven, Steven Universe”
We’ll burden your curse, before it gets worse;
Oh plEASE-
Please--- please…
Let us in…. (diamonds)
“Steven, Steven Universe”
“Steven Steven Universe”
We’re at your serviceserse…
Our feelings aren’t adverse..
Oh please---
Please--- please…
Don’t let it win- (connie bismuth, lapis, peridot)
Rose quartz, my diamond, my Steven- (jasper)
All my life, i fought to get even-
But now, I see, before me..
Our wreckless fighting sprees…
And the waves, crashing down (yellow)
In your pain, you’ve drowned (blue)
But know that, we love you- (white)
All this pain we have brewd- (greg)
“Steven, Steven universe.”
“Steven, Steven Universe”
In comfort immerse…
Just let us converse…
Let your pain be reversed….
STEVEN- STEVEN

@Mario The Plumber nah i think ur talkin about William afton
I honestly was disappointed that the earth shattering line wasn’t Greg saying “if every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hotdogs”
Well that's just a childish catchphrase that means nothing. All Future does is bury things from the original show. Makes it feel like the writers felt guilty for having any childish stuff in it at all.
@@OinglorBoinglor but thats the point. It is a childish phrase that has a lot meaning behind it that relates steven back to who he is.
@@ColdNorth0628 Oh, I agree. The problem is Future is too hung up on deconstructing everything in the original series, so Future wouldn't care about a iconic line from the original.
@@OinglorBoinglor fair
Idk it’s probably just me but I think that would have been a cringy last line. It would make sense for a last line, but I think it would have been pretty cringe
The whole Steven Universe in a summary: Crying
And singing and pointless side characters and gems.
@@Austin-jd4os Yeppp....
@@Austin-jd4os Thats pretty much the whole show.....
And some weird giant blue yellow and white rocks who are just failed Adolf Hitler clones
And being gay
Really tho. The crying part made me feel that we were supposed to feel bad for everyone. Which I obviously wasn’t. It was just so cringe, it made me wanna throw my phone at the TV. Also, how the actually hell did you ALONE think of a better ending then the crewniverse. THE CREWNIVERSE! The people who thought of the of the show in the first place!
@Shuttlethegamer1 CRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE.

Everyone:
why do fans always come up with better endings
because they have FORESIGHT and are able to tie the work back into the creator’s themes and ideas. It doesn’t substitute the hard work creators put into producing quality content!!
Tbh, I think it's because, as an audience, it's kinda easier to look at things from a "neutral" point of view and focus on what are the best possible outcomes, narratively speaking, whereas as a creator, it's easier to be biased on focusing on your own "agenda" even if it ends up harming the plot (stares at Miraculous Ladybug and Star Vs)
I feel like the only outlier to this is ATLA, that show had a pretty good ending in my opinion, it wasn't perfect but it was good
Foresight for sure
Because this show was bad written by the beginning, and almost every writer who have success these days is just brainwashed and put there to write the heck politicians want to.
What bugs me the most is that Steven going insane isn’t a accurate representation of depression or PTSD. It’s borderline psychotic or bi polar, but they are essentially trying to convey that depressed people are insane
I agree. The way Steven puts everyone around him in danger strongly implies that mentally ill people are dangerous-- the definition of a negative stereotype. I didn't like how the show portrayed him at all.
Idk if it represents Bipolar Disorder. I mean I guess except usually people with Bipolar Disorder don’t kill people.-
@@ellag3265 because rebecca and the others on her team DON'T KNOW how PTSD or trauma works, they only did a lousy job in 11 episodes of a steven who out of nowhere borders psychopathy to the last one gives a hug and kiss on the head and says that after he went to therapy he got better when it DEFINITELY doesn't work that way
@@ellag3265 Well there are definitely those with mental illnesses who have committed grotesque crimes. It’s not like such a thing has never happened. I don’t think the show was making a statement on mentally ill people in general and I definitely don’t believe it was to mock them, especially considering Rebecca’s values. This is about Steven’s experience. Of course its going to be over exaggerated since it’s fiction.
@@user-zg2sr4wb6b yeah but mentally ill people aren't monsters lmao... the portrayal, intentional or not, is still really harmful, especially considering the target audience SU is for
My biggest problem with the ending is that they shoved literally everything we cared about in the series to the side to give Steven PTSD.
They didn't end the series, they just ruined all of the characters.
How was Pearl ruined? How was Garnet ruined? How were ANY of them ruined beyond "less screen time" which isn't even related to their characters
Yeah, they dumbed the characters down so much so it can protray Steven as this poor, depressed teenager who got too much on his hands.
@@Soniman001 they were ruined because they made them more weaker look at the first season they were good fighters in the movie they were defeated easily but then they defeat spinel because oh plot wants they to and future the only enemy that they defeated with no song or speach was bluebird FUCKING BLUEBIRD
odeio funk de putaria RUM how many times do people need to be told this isn't a shounen snd judging characters by fighting ability is really stupid anyway?
@@Soniman001 They took away all of Pearl's character development by simple "I didn't." They ruined Ruby and Sapphire by making them idiots for sake of a stupid plot/arc/this arragement shit. They ruined Spinel, changing her to be just for comedy relief, while she could make an interesting addition to the plot. They ruined Aquamarine and Eyeball because of the same reason as Spinel, they made them just for entertainment instead of actual threat. They ruined the Diamond by making them act like aunties. They were a threat for the whole universe for such a long time, they were merciless, they thought that all creatures were beneath them, and now they gave up everything they stood up for, because a kid told them that "this bad, this good". They ruined Connie by making her a really boring Mary Sue, when at the beginning of the series she was interesting, and also flawed character. They probably could ruined more, but they ran out of time
The worst thing they did on the finally was bringing Jasper back from the dead. Shattering a gem has always been something dark within the show, but it was resolved instantly a couple seconds later. It took all the heavy undertone of shattering a gem, if she can be fixed this easily.
No, the worst thing they did was how Yellow Diamond fixed the shattered gems.
Well, it’s a kids show so I don’t know. But I agree with you, I was kind of surprised how no one died in the series
it would have been less bad if they had stayed with it takes all 4 diamonds to unshatter somone but for some reason yellow can unshatter people by herself
Greer honestly Disney did use to have movies w death of a parent being shown. so I think it being a kids show doesn’t necessarily excuse it, but with modern day censorship it makes sense :/
All shattering Jasper really did is cement her as the show's punching bag and show the audience that the crew thinks she doesn't deserve anything.
This is a rant. Read at your own caution.
The big build up for the entirety of the show ends in 5 seconds after Steven gets a hug.
And the gems did a pretty lousy job of taking care of Steven. I mean, Garnet has FUTURE VISION.
Hello?!
And she's more or less perfected it now.
So please, tell me why she didn't see this coming, ESPECIALLY as she saw Steven getting rejected by Connie but NOT Steven getting 'depression' and turning into a monster.
Speaking about 'depression'. I've never experienced it, nor do I know anyone with it so I'm not an expert but it felt...rushed.
First of all, the entire reason is 'Pink D is horrible.' Pink is being villainised, because?
I don't know. How come the Diamonds don't get any repercussions for their evil actions and everyone forgives them, but Pink Diamond? The Diamond who was abused and tried to fight for Earth? Oh no, she's such a villain just because she bubbled Bismuth and abandoned Spinel. And Spinel didn't get hate for destroying Steven's happiness despite clearly knowing he WASN'T Pink Diamond. She very clearly said 'I just wanted to take my anger out on a bunch of strangers' at one point. A bunch. Of. STRANGERS.
And why does she get excused? Why do the diamonds get excused despite doing horrible things for MILLENIA?
Returning to Steven. This stuff all gets triggered from Jasper fighting him, basically saying 'oh your useless hahahaHAHAHhah' and from that pink outbursts and hating pink diamond saga starts.
Why though? He's already thinks she's sketchy, for the least, why does Jasper's words shake him to this point? Especially as Jasper holds Pink up to high regard and wouldn't diss her, ever. Idk really.
From then, other things she's done come to light. And Steven starts to get mad as it's always like he has to clean up her mistakes. Volleyball episode wasn't too bad, other than the fact that volleyball never came back >:(
But now Steven's getting stressed. And the final straw on the camel's back is... proposing to Connie?
Why would he do that? Just, why?
I mean, it's obvious. To copy Garnet's wedding. And after their wedding everything was perfect with those two.
Only they were in a romantic relationship. And Steven and Connie weren't (at least, not a serious one).
Steven didn't want Connie to leave. So he wanted to be Stevonnie with her so when she left, he'd come with her.
But no. Seriously? Would Steven, even Steven with anxiety, do this? He wouldn't be stupid enough to believe Ruby and Sapphire, not GARNET considering GARNET would know about being happy together too, to marry Connie and be happily ever after?
Uhhh no.
Going on. Argument with Greg. Steven's mad that he was too free. Greg basically said 'hey kiddo it's better than being too trapped :]' and Steven crashed the car.
Greg basically gave Steven the upbringing he would've liked to have, which although isn't ideal, you understand why. But Steven's now saying 'because you were too lax, all this stuff happened' which is also understandable but not really. Homeworld would've found him wherever he was.
Fragments. I don't know why Steven even agreed to training in the first place. I don't know why Garnet didn't use future vision to find out where Steven was. I don't know why he agreed to fight her with these powers he didn't know about.
Because depression? No.
But I would've preferred if Jasper stayed shattered. It would've given him a permanent punishment.
I'm skipping a lot.
Soooo skip to big finale. Because he sees himself as a monster, he becomes one.
And all of this trauma, all of his pain, shattering Jasper and attempting to shatter White, being rejected by Connie, arguing with his dad, constant reminders of his mother's mistakes, gets resolved with 5 words.
'Steven, we're here for you.'
In 5 seconds.
And after that, he gets therapy(from WHOM?!) and moves out because?
Because big sad.
How is he going to get a job? He's missed out on school completely..
I love Steven Universe, but I really hated the ending of the whole series being fixed by the power of friendship.
This answer is too long. If I've gotten anything wrong please tell me
I liked your rant!
Your rant’s got a very good point there
Honestly, the fact that Pink Diamond, who was the abuse victim, was villainized, but the Diamonds, the abusers, were reedemed is pretty messed up.
Like, Pink Diamond was not perfect. She hurt Volleyball, she abandoned Spinel, and she did a whole lot of lying. But, she was not worse than the other diamonds
I think Steven got shaken up by what Jasper said was because of his PTSD
That's how PTSD works. It can make someone cry/angry at the smallest things. It's makes them overly sensitive and it can make them have anger issues
Amazing rant
SU’s team was literally like How do we create an emotional ending? have the characters cry? yeah let’s do that. without actually bothering to make it emotional. it’s like a show don’t tell - crewniverse is telling us the ending is emotional by having the characters cry but they’re not showing us emotion
honestly it amazes me how a team of writers manage to fuck up an ending twice! like it's not just not sticking the landing it's more like that one scene from final destination 5 where the one girl flips of the double bars and lands neck first thats how bad they failed
They're a bunch of incompetent. I don't even understand how they obtained the job in the first place.
The problem with SU and SUF is that they do a relatively good job building something up pretty well, but the payoff is extremely anticlimactic and/or rushed.
EVERY. TIME.
Main reason I stopped watching. I’d always get invested but disappointed. Not even mentioning all the filler episodes-
Lol it’s not though
The Dan The Man Show it is though
Colevan Viderman why is it the network’s fault that the show is building up all these threats for them to all just fall flat in one episode? Granted, I’m not saying the network isn’t to blame at all.
Jay
yep, it’s literally a bad show
It annoys me the fact that yellow diamond was able to restore shattered gems but when she thought PD was shattered she didn't even try to fix her.If she had tried she would've realized that PD was still alive
Old i know but don't care, wasn't show that she discovered that ability recently?
Well it was only a few fake shards, so she wouldn’t have the rest of the diamond to put it together. Also it seems to take the power of all the diamonds to fix a shattered gem, something impossible with only 3 of them left.
It was a recent power she developed
燈籠草 those are there "new" powers
燈籠草 nevermind
Me: I was expecting to FINALLY see a badass battle.
Show: everything is solved with huggies.
Here’s what should have happend:
Steven: *becomes a monster*
*music starts playing*
Monster Steven: why do I hear boss music
???: *roar*
Monster Steven: oh no
Same
The sad thing is that this isn't a plot resolution unique to SU.
Me too I tought I would have seen lapis fusing or the three diamond fusing omg what a scam
Idk that fight between Alexandrite and Malachite was alright
But Steven going apeshit in kaiju mode wouldve been so goddamn awesome
I like how the existence of Emerald, Agate, Aquamarine and Eyeball showed gems dissatisfied with the new order and they NEVER followed up on it
...Did Emerald ever actually show up again after her episode?
@@graphitetailgrace3870 no she didn’t 🫤
Whose Emerald?
@@SallyBMcgillshe is the nemesis of the Lars and the off colors episode.
I agree with the “painting of Rose Quartz showing how Steven has forgiven her” thing. It seemed so weird how the whole show built Rose up to be this amazing, loving person, and then as soon as she was revealed to be a diamond it was like none of that mattered anymore. The other diamonds got redeemed even though they did way worse things but Pink didn’t get forgiven too. Yes she caused everything but if the other diamonds could be forgiven super easily, why couldn’t she?
That goes for the fandom aswell- Everyone hates Pink/Rose for leaving spinel and causing all this backlash on steven saying she's the real villian but yet the other diamonds caused a mass genocide on gems and probably other human life forms on different planets along as threatening their habitat
@@rohan2924 Pink Diamonds character was one who I always pitied or felt sorry for. Although she caused a lot of mistakes, I truly felt like she was trying to fix them. Not to mention, she lived with this guilt of unintentionally starting the war and the cause of corruption for both her race and friends (other crystal gems). If you compare this to Steven, he shattered jasper and went mental afterwards. Now, Rose witnessed the corruption of everyone (and couldn't fix them unlike steven). I feel like that's why she was on board with having steven, a way to escape not only her past and guilt but herself... permanently.
Sorry if I ranted a bit. I like the complexity of Pinks character 😅
I think Rebecca said in an interview Steven has forgiven only blue and yellow. Not white. But yeah i agree. People give pink too much hate
@@lesliesalas6389 And there's also the fact that if it wasn't for Pink, the Earth wouldn't even be there. And she had to live with the guilt and pain of losing so many people she cared about after the War for thousands of years. Honestly, Steven had it easy compared to her.
And I hate how Steven was able to forgive the diamonds when they literally shattered gems and did worse things then PD/rose but here he is hating on his mom
I hated how he gets corrupted and then UNcorrupts so damn quickly, then NO ONE TALKS ABOUT WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED TO STEVEN. and then he says he's moving?! Where?! When the hell did you have the time to buy or rent a house!?!
Edit: god damn people cant accept an opinion, i love su alright!!! I just didnt hear the part where he got a house, i only heard where he was gonna meet Connie and my brain tuned out the rest! God damn u people are insensitive-
Anne he was traveling around 39 states
Time skip, they said it in the next episode that it's been a few months. But even so, it would be better if we did see it instead of skipping to it. Even though, I didn't mind it, doesn't mean everyone else should feel the same
@And I- ooo, that makes more sense. But still the corruption ended so fast, that part got my angry
I'm just gonna say it. Steven doesn't "technically" corrupt. I wouldn't say it would be as permanent as normal corruption. It was more like his shapeshifter and if you remember he had problems with changing back
@@andreagrant8726 if he had problems,HOW DID HE TRANSOFRMED BACK IN ONLY 1/2 SECS?!?!?!? I am completely mad. THIS MOVIE IS GONE WRONG!!! And everything gets so dramatic. WHERE IS THE WAR THE VIOLENCE THE FORTUNE AND THE ACTION??!!?! Love can't always solve anything. AND HE HAD TO TURN IN TO AN FUCKING GODZILLA??!?!??!!!?!??!? Why.... Why is this show so dramatic? WHY. just imagine if an kid would watch that clip and be scared if Steven gets corrupted and comes to the house??!! Huh? Oh yeah... Kids don't matter. It isn't like we were kids once,we were born as teens or adults. HURTING TO BE RIGHT. but.... This show is SHIT. and that is Only MY opinion.... So do not force me to like SUF/SU for no reason.
The whole season was a mess, the focus on Steven having a breakdown for 20 episodes isn't entertaining. And I think Steven going off on his own isn't a good lesson to teach mentally ill kids, it's glossed over but we all know Greg is paying for his rich kid finding himself vacation which most people couldn't asks their parents for.
That is a huge problem I have with the ending. They go on about how it's normal to leave and find yourself, which is fine. But he's 16 with no job, most people can't do that, even at older ages especially now. And where is he supposed to go? Maybe wait, get therapy for a year or so and then go, it seems so fast even with the time skip. They say he's still in therapy, but it seems very unwise and is also something the people watching most likely cannot do.
That would be a next season for Adult Swim:
Steven Universe: Escape from Child Support.
@@ShinobiSora It doesn't make any sense steven post explosion to just go out and see things, even with therapy NOTHING guarantees he won't have these outbreaks again
Holy crap- good point!!
Hey kids- if you have trauma and immense guilt and pain- just fk off and leave your family! The people who love and care about you and who will listen and support you and help you heal!
(unless you count the episode with Bluebird and how they thought he was nuts)
Yeah Future doesn't entertained at all its just focusing Steven and his trauma. Which is very disappoint and also the other gems such as Lapis, Peridot, Bismuth, and any other gems doesn't get any screentime at all or the episode where it focus on them. If the crewniverse wanted Steven to have trauma why don't they just make him have the trauma in the previous Steven Universe series when the show is still ongoing and when the gem is still in the verge on war, i mean that would have been way more better.
I thought it was extremely anti-character of Pearl to be childish and jealous of Pink Pearl. She acted like she would've in season one, not Future. That part really bugged me.
Everybody on the show either cries or sings, therefore Jasper is the best character because she does neither
Can you fucking dont
It true doe-
she do be my favorite character doe 😳
@@ejh3679 she do be kinda strong doe 😳😳😳
She do be having the best fight scene in the show doe 😳
This finale abused the power of friendship more than Mlp FIM. And I’m a fan of mlp so I know how much that show uses the power of friendship.
Edit:wow this got a lot more likes and a lot more comments than I was expecting it to get thanks guys!
Friends are my power
What did you think of the series finale of MLP?
Mr. Biteo 100 times better than SU Future’s, Rise of Skywalker’s, Star vs, and Game of thrones endings.
Mlp had a more climactic finale and more action and fights
This stupid cliche destroyed the Sonic game series for me with Sonic Forces' ending
I find it extremely hard to believe that Steven is made out to be stronger than the three other Diamonds combined. Episode after episode it seemed he was getting a new ability (some that didn't make any sense for his character other than to be extremely convenient for the plot) and those abilities outnumbered the Diamond's own even WITH their new powers. Yet for the entirety of the show the Diamonds were big, intimidating, powerful, they were *huge* threats that the Crystal Gems were scared of because they ARE the biggest possible threat out there. White Diamond was especially terrifying because she was the biggest of them all, with the power to literally control everyone around her if she were to focus hard enough. She never had to lift a finger to fight because others did the fighting for her under her authority and command. Yet Steven was made out to be even *more* powerful than all three of them? He couldn't be stopped by the Diamonds, who were previously perceived to be genocidal war criminals?? Yeah, okay. By that logic Blue, Yellow and White should've taken Pink Diamond more seriously as she was apparently more powerful than them.
yes I had the exact same problem, pink/steven seemed to have way more powers then the three of them and to add insult to injury they're powers weren't even that impressive. they could only do damage to gem kind so organics don't have the same weakness, they only had 1 power each, and half the time non diamond gems are way more powerful, lapis could literally control presumably the whole ocean and yellow & white could only really attack one at a time. then steven has like 17 varied powers that can work against gems and non gems
I mean, Steven/Pink isn't a Mary Sue per se, but he did get a lot of random and/or convenient, asspull powers - between his and Rose/Pin's powers, aside from "normal" gem skills like strength, shapeshifting and weapon summoning, he has:
1- healing so strong it can revive the dead
2- the ability to give life to plants/rocks
3- force fields (that evolve into a Green lantern style thing I guess?)
4- supervoice that works as energy blast waves
5- gravity manipulation he can use to "fly"
6- Flash-level superspeed
7- empathic link, astral projection, and can even possess other people
8- vibration manipulation? (only used against Lapis that one time)
9- static signal jamming? (only hinted at, not confirmed)
That's...more than double all the other 3 Diamonds *combined* have (electric shocks so strong it destabilizes gems, an emotional aura, and mind control). Really, only healing and shielding would've been enough, and even then, healing could've been a skill all Diamonds possess, not just Pink. It started becoming overkill when he started getting all those psychic powers.
Not to mention that, if Pink/Rose was that fucking powerful, why would she start the rebellion in the first place? Why not just kill/expel her sisters and take the throne for herself?
It makes the story even stupider.
FR DUDE, like, when the diamonds were introduced in the og series they were seen as this massive dangerous threat that could anhilate anyone who dares cross them. Only for them to be nerfed MASSIVELY both in powers and personality, you'd think that it would be hard to convince literal space dictators to change their ways in such a short amount of time, but I guess the writers proved us wrong. (Then again, after the epsiode where sapphire and ruby married, the running time of the show was cut, but how do you mess up something in such a short amount of time??)
I think it’s cuz we never see them really trying.
When I saw the ending, I also felt nothing. Around the air date everyone was saying how sad they were and emotional they got. At first I thought there was something I was missing, or I was wrong. I’m so glad many more are stepping forward and sharing about how the ending was not very well written as many claim it is.
The only good thing about this finale is that it birthed the “Steven ends up in Gravity Falls” AU which is wonderful
Allu Aquarii wut?
Um, no. Please dont.
Tru
Agreed
@@ethelgalan5330 we have all been driven insane from gravity falls ending and want more
and yes

I HATE how they had to delete the concept of death for gems just for the diamonds rEdEmPTiOn. This was shameless, literally saying "no matter how much you got hurt, if you forgive those who hurt you, they will magically reverse all damage done, no conveniences!" God is this a shitshow
Bandi-Fundi fax, if they kept jasper shattered it would have been so much more impactful
I kinda feel bad for the jems they have to live though everyone dies!
its not-
The V.I.P. Potato no they have to live though everyone dying
@@tarajones2601 No I mean like, I hate how he called it a ____show.
Is no one going to talk about how Steven committed *_ATTEMPTED MURDER AND GOT OFF SCOT-FREE?_*
*_EXCUSE ME, I THOUGHT STEVEN WAS A HERO, SOMEONE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOOK UP TO!_*
And the fact that they Steven revived Jasper, is while Jasper is a great villain, as a moral, it's a huge slap in the face. It basically tells kids: "Oh you can commit murder, and as the bonus, you'll receive zero consequences for your actions."
That's an AWFUL moral.
Well White diamond kind of deserved to be almost killed because she almost kills Steven just to prove pink isn't gone and turn out to be wrong and the latter said this is everything you put me through.
@@andreafomasidirector Okay, I take back everything I said!
@@andreafomasidirector It's okay.
That's exactly how Steven feels though. He feels like a diamond, an awful person that thinks about shattering people, that's why he turns into a monster, because he sees himself as one.
*You're ending is SO AMAZING it's better than the actual show*
What? It is way way worse writting wise. Just because the youtuber talks in a nitpicking convinvent manner doesn't mean it's good wrting.
Nearly every fanfic ending is better than that weak ass hug.....
@@UmTois youre saying what this YTuber said is worse than "lol a hug fixes a mental illness that can take months to recover" ending? idk man I feel like youre the one nitpicking
The ending was on brand to be honest.

“Hmph who’s terrible idea was this”
Well said bismuth
It's so strange because they're good at fluffing you up with interesting ideas, leading you to believe that there will be full circle, growth, and something to be learned from in these archetypes, and then suddenly they don't give a fuck when it ends and go for the "lets cry and use the power of friendship" to solve incredibly complex issues.
I think the worse part about him snapping at Greg is that he didn’t even grow up in the van? In the extended intro song it’s shown he goes to live at the gems in the beach house when he was like, four. He only lived in the van for a brief time, probably the period between whatever human home he and Greg crashed at and the Gems’ beach house. The headcannon that he grew up in the van came from fans that forgot, and I guess the show forgot too????
The part where all of the crystal gems, Spinel, and the diamonds were crying was so over the top that it was just uncomfortable 😣
Yeah same I wasnt sure if I was supposed to laugh or feel bad
Same i was so confused
It just was *confusing?*
Yeah i totally agree. I felt really awkward seeing it. Their cry-fest was really ridiculous and just made it uncomfy to watch.
Yeah me to
is it just me or did it feel like steven universe future lacked emotion and the art style was just off?
It lacked emotion, so they made up for it by the characters crying more than they ever have. That's why everyone thinks it's such a perfect finale.
Yeah Steven isnt that funny anymore,
Especially in the last episode. The art style looked so wonky, you could tell the creators rushed through it.
The ending is lazy af, it made me hate the show instead
It had too much emotion, actually.
it was literally so good. the protagonist was becoming the villain, and then they ruined it.
they solved it with love and friendship.
I love to see all the hate this finale got cause lord it was so bad 🤣
Me too. I honestly want to make a video about it too cause it was such trash...
I’m just gonna say it. Tangled: the Series is a show that also features a teenage kid who starts off very sweet and innocent, suffers a breakdown that leads him on a very destructive path, and brings him back to being sweet and kind, but that seemed to be done a lot more organically, because we saw exactly what led him to break down and we saw him go back on the path of good. Of course that kid doesn’t have any magical powers nor is he involved in an intergalactic war, he’s just a regular teenage boy. But his entire character arc was well-written and pretty satisfying. Probably because he developed over the course of several episodes instead of snapping out of his berserker rage with just a hug. I’m just saying this because Tangled: the Series really is a good show that deserves more recognition but also because its good guy-bad guy-good guy character was honestly written quite well, at least in comparison to Steven
The Tangled show is wayyyy better than Future
That boy is one of the best thing in the series,i love it, pretty sure almost everyone saw it in part for him xD.
Well Varian had half a season to become a villain, then it took like, what, 13 minutes for him to be redeemed
@Bob Ross There was clearly a lot that happened while he was in jail. Also, something I appreciated was the way Varian had to work for forgiveness from the other citizens of the kingdom, as although Rapunzel was a naturally forgiving person, the citizens were not as trusting.
OMG YESSSS
White diamond pretending to be sad in “I am my monster” is the funniest shit I’ve ever scene 😂
I just realized
We could have had a moment similar to Steven's flashbacks in "Mindful Education" with him coming to terms with his past demons in that style
omg yessss
Way back then I thought Steven't problem will be his gem half and how in that Mindscape we once again will see two Stevens with Human Steven being angry at his gem side and Gem Steven being all corrupted due all this trauma. And while there was a fight outside with Godzilla Steven and others, there would be a conflict inside since both halves fell out synch but can't separate like that and they both need to come with realisations while this fusion world will be all stormy and reassembling and how his family's voices and pleas would be heard as muffles echoes for them.
You sound so cute when you get excited even if you are talking about murder and destruction ❤️
*o h n o*
SUF was only "Pink Diamond bad hurr hurr" over and over and over AND OVER again, in a way that was really boring; and that development of Steven's depression / anxiety was so rushed and tasteless to me... You made the whole ending better, thank you.
Finally someone agrees with me about the whole Rose Quartz thing. Not only was it boring, it sort of...felt very wrong? The Diamonds, who likely did worse than Rose, were redeemed, yet Rose was given more and more reasons to hate her. This wouldn’t be a big deal if Rose were alive, but she isn’t. She couldn’t defend herself, or even be redeemed. It could’ve been interesting if, maybe, Pink Diamond was bad, and the early days of Rose Quartz she was selfish and sort of an attention-hog, but maybe she could’ve improved and actually start to love the Earth, which makes her determined to stay and actually defend the planet. She didn’t have to be the bad guy all her life, and I really hate that they paint her like that, the one person that’s truly “gone” in the show, yet redeem everyone else.
@@Jay-qn8lm I feel like it would have helped if we saw the consequences of the other Diamonds's actions come back to bite them more often the way Rose's did. Their actions have consequences but these consequences VERY RARELY impact THEM the way Rose's did. Rose's actions have consequences, not just for her, but for everyone she ever cared about, and the consequences haunt everyone years later when she's not even around because that's just how big the ripple effect of her actions is shown to be. Are other gems haunted by what the Diamonds did before the first SU finale?Sure they are, but the Diamonds don't really care much about any gems besides themselves, Spinel, and Steven so it doesn't affect them as much. The Diamonds help other gems but you can help people without caring a lot about them
That episode where Steven shows he still hasn't completely forgiven White by attempting to crack her gem on a pillar was a step in the right direction, but the writers didn't do much with the idea that Steven hasn't forgiven her after that. It would have gone hand in hand with the idea that just because she isn't doing anything evil NOW doesn't mean the evil things she did stopped hurting people. Just like how Rose not being around to make choices now doesn't mean her decisions stopped hurting people. We've had YEARS of seeing how badly Rose messed up. It would've been nice to see the Diamonds seeing consequences they never thought about, being forced to realize just how badly THEY messed up, and being bothered by the consequences
They only got a few episodes that they could physically do
Yeah alot of the stuff didn't make sense like
1.Stephen said he was vegetarian when the gems gave him pizza even though in the original he ate a hot dog. and 5 episodes before he was offered the pizza
2.he was a sociopath,almost killed greg and wanted to kill white diamond
@@amirk7837 The Greg thing can at least be excused as an accident. He wasn't trying to hurt anybody when that happened. He was just too angry to care what he was doing until he'd already torn the steering wheel off the van by accident. The fact that nobody thought to try a big intervention with him immediately after that though and instead waited until he has another worse mental breakdown is a big problem in retrospect. He almost seriously hurt somebody he cared about and nobody sits him down to ask what's wrong. Pearl just rants at him and Greg is so stupid in that episode he gives Steven an unecessary "I'm proud of you" speech instead of asking what he's doing wrong so he can help Steven be less frustrated
Thing is, as a person who hugs people to make them feel better, friends or family (with consent of course) this ending was as barebones as you can get. "A hug fixes everything" is not how it works; yes a hug can help heal mental wounds, a strong one can even fix long-term ones but it doesn't fix everything. It's a process.
A hug is like a Bandage; it doesn't fix the problem, but helps you while you fix it. What comes after hugging is listening and understanding; talking things through. That's the real solution, but they glanced over that and focused on the wrong area.
I've talked with people worse than steven, people questioning their life; their purpose, coping with the past and even the fate of their own life hangs in the balance at times; the listening and talking after a hug is what helps people, they need someone to vent to, to get their frustrations out and to understand what is going on; a fresh perspective. Something the Finale did nothing on beyond "WE LOVE YOU!" That isn't listening.
I can’t believe you almost made me cry just by explaining your own version of the SU finale
I've just realized everyone is a crybaby in the show
IMO,one of the biggest problems of SU is that instead of work in their worldbuilding decently,they instead made Steven be the center of attention. Like,i know he's the protagonist,but why not develop the world and people around him goddammit!? This show was a total waste of potential tbh
I want somebody to just gather all the concepts in SU and actually put in the effort to world build. Like, a genocidal space society with its own caste system and questionable ethics all centered on the theme of gems? That sounds fucking awesome. This show suffers from the lack of human interaction from outside Beach City and the lack of development of Homeworld. I feel like if we saw more gems get shattered we can actually have stakes, and be more unnerved at the shattered-gem fusions
So like I completely see your point, its a valid criticism right there. The lore is lacking severely, but I would question if more lore would have disconnected the audience from the very real human problems that Steven and the Gems were going through all throughout the show. That's what worldbuilding is for: to distance the viewer from the story by establishing a set of pre-established non-negotiable or unchanging aspects of a vastly reality. But because Rebecca sugar wanted to keep the viewer CLOSE or similar to Steven's narrative, worldbuilding in SUF would have worked against that.
Like future was kinda supposed to be about the other characters stories. But no.
@@omgitsazombielo I personally think this is a main problem because SU hyped us with a whole ass world that was completely left unexplored. The other characters too. I mean,why not give other characters proper development beyond Steven's vision? And again,we were hyped with new elements in SUF that were completely left unexplored. This only show me that stories where only the point of view of the protagonist is shown are poorly written
Steven Universe was supposed to be centered around steven because in the original they showed so much about all the other characters it never got to Steven, it's supposed to show how Steven always fixed others problems but never his own
They actually ran out of money to pay the original Bismuth voice actress for the last few episodes. The original voice actress cost them a lot of money when all she said was like one line in some episodes. With the finale coming up, and them having to spend money on all the other voice actors, they couldn't spend a bunch of money on just Bismuth, so they got a new voice actress for the last few episodes.
The voice actor for the finale first voiced bismuth in the unleash the light game
And that's the reason why you should NEVER get expensive actors. Nikki Minaj (voice actress of Sugilite) and Uzo Aduba (voice actress of Bismuth) don't appear much because they aren't able to afford them. They could've easily gotten other actors to play the gems so we can see them a bit more but Rebecca had to spend so much money on the two that don't appear a lot in the show. It's pretty sad that Uzo Aduba never made it to the finale, how very very sad.
The people on the Steven Universe Wiki claim she was just on tour.
JLacay That’s why the majority of the Fusions in the show only have one or two episodes about them or have bigger screen time in that episode and then when they reappear they only have about ten seconds of screen time. Which is sad some of these fusions like Opal, Sugilte, Sardonyx, and Alexandrite they can go in more depth with their personalities and how they grown while Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl have grown as well
@@xanderg.1070 they couldve use them more in fights they didnt have to speak
Why was I hoping for her to say
"Goodbye Steven Universe,
And *DONT* come back this time."
Well this aged well
Your version of the ending actually brought me to tears. That shit was so beautiful and now im crying like a baby. I love it, and I will pretend that's actually what happened
A really big thing that I couldn’t stand in SUF is Jasper’s shattering. Even though they probably wouldn’t have gone through with it fully anyway, there was so much potential that was lost because Steven was just given the power to fix shattering.
Jasper’s shattering could have strongly emphasised Steven’s deteriorating mental state, and establishes some sort of consequence for Steven. But nope. He cri n she alive. Thing is after her shattering, she doesn’t even do anything in the show afterwards, so there was no point left in keeping her alive.
Poor girl couldn't even die with dignity.
@@sephiriza lmfao wooord.
Honestly, Jasper was so much missed potential. Like, she got KILLED by Steven, and then brought back.
This caused her to fully accept Steven as Pink Diamond. And then Steven just..leaves her.
I wanted to see Jaspers reaction. I wanted to see her question what to do, since she's supposed to be loyal to her diamond, but how can she be loyal to someone who doesn't want her to be a loyal servant?
@@genericname2747 Jasper deserved so much better... she was just... forgotten. Used for plot convenience. No backstory, no actual redemption... nothing. I’m so bitter about this and it’s been a year. She deserved so much better than this...
@@lyrastarstriker7304 she should better have gone back to her homeworld and done something there
I feel like the creators were trying too hard to be deep in the previous episodes and it all just felt forced. Every episode someone was crying and all the lines were so predictable and cringey. It really sucks bc I loved seasons 2-5 but the movie and season 6 were just so disappointing
Steven in the Future series is far more immature and idiotic than in the original series! THe finale would have been better if Steven and all the gems fought against a powerful antagonist like the creator of the Gem race.
Don't worry. Soon i myself am still writing a script for a new Steven Universe project for the near future. But first i have to create my own project.
Your version of the ending almost made me cried.
So I would give this 110/100
I was crying not because of the "emotional" ending, but because seeing the old steven universe and comparing those good old days to this ending? why? It was so beautiful and it all just end up like this :( I was so disappointed not gonna lie
I was tearing up too, but probly not because of that. There are a couple things the show does do better than the original and the only reason why I was tearing up was because it was yet another one of my childhood shows finally drawing to a close
I cried when I rewatched the first episodes lapis lazuli showed up BECAUSE THOSE WERE SO GOOD, AND THE SHOW WAS SO GOOD, and they fucked it all up then I watched Jailbreak(is that what it's called?) and I cried AGAIN because of the same reasons.
not gonna lie. me too :(
@shy potato I completely agree, I loved seasons 2 and 3 too, but then the show just kinda started to get worse over time
Same here!!!
I really hate how easy everything get resolved within the show, ever since SU. White diamond, Jasper, monster steven just fixed in minutes, they build up a lot of hype to those arcs and then puff they just talk/cry and nothing’s wrong, no consequences. Also the finale is just meh, just a big throwback that feels more like a filler episode.
Santi Duque he is not fixed in minutes its a temporary fix
@@SythcideTV There's no difference in context of the outcome. The immediate threat is still gone, the external conflict resolved, and ends on a semi-happy note. THAT is fixed.
The ending makes it pretty obvious that Steven will presumably either get over or learn to better manage his trauma someday. Temporary or not, it's still a fix and a rushed one at that.
The problem isn't that Steven still has issues. Quite the opposite. His arc of facing his trauma was a great idea despite everyone seeing corrupted Steven coming from a mile away.
The problem is that the journey toward the finale builds up another compelling obstacle only to once again waste too much time and ultimately solve the danger in a few minutes.
It's the same flaw the show's been criticized for throughout every major arc & big villain. It's been a repetitive formula for years, and the show had every chance to improve on that.
More and more fans have grown wise to the routine, which is one reason a number consider this finale anticlimactic. People can argue that this is more Cartoon Network's fault.
We can explain away every setback, excuse every rushed plot-line, and defend every decision until we're blue in the face. But NONE of that changes the final result of what we got.
JASPER ONLY GOT TWENTY-FIVE SECONDS IN THE LAST EPISODE!!! When she was the one to trigger Steven's first pink outburst! And she still calls him "My Diamond"... Unfinished character at its finest :/
It seems like most fights in the second half of SU are about deescalating the fight instead of defeating the enemy
I feel like the problem you and other people have with this show is not that the show “resolves” issues too quickly and easily, because one message of Steven Universe Future is that Steven’s problems can’t be solved so quickly. Steven goes to Connie, Greg, and the Diamonds expecting them to “resolve” his problems, but they can’t. Steven has to learn that you can’t fix away trauma, it takes time and effort, whether or not you think that message should’ve been made a bit more obvious is up to you.
The problem people actually have with the finale is that they think time should’ve been taken to show Steven work through his problems, which others think would’ve been more impactful. This on the other hand, was not what Rebecca had in mind, and if you think this should’ve been shown, that is perfectly valid. It’s also valid if you think there should’ve been consequences, but for the SUF finale specifically the people who Steven may have wronged or scared had forgiven him, again enforcing SU’s message about love and family.
Monster Steven deserved to rampage at least three episodes long like wtf
This series broke everything they built a story about freedom, about fighting, about accepting how you are, about being brave and understand that not always people will agree with you (the diamonds) but then... everything got so plastic, is like hey, I m right you are wrong so change yourself, what was the point of spinel, for example, she just changed and that’s it .
Oh and a question: What if steven met a villain who cannot be redeemed because they like to be evil for the fun of it. There are people out there like this and in comics, well just look at the joker or say gravity falls: Bill Cypher.
"Steven just talks them out of being evil" doesn't work with them so....
That's aquamarine and Rudy.
I feel like because Bill is a dream demon that Steven would also particularly be vulnerable to him. [could even use Steven to take over multiple people without a deal being made] Sorry this is offtopic it just came to mind. lol.
Like in Wander Over Yonder? That was really good, this series needed a Lord Dominator
That's what I wanted as the antagonist to Steven Universe future, that the president of the United States. Ignorant of change and all that stuff, Steven will not be talking down the president because the president of the United States has nuclear weapons, Marines, a whole ton of Tanks bombers fighter planes and all sorts of crazy weapons that have been reverse-engineered from Homeworld technology. Basically they have found a way to destabilise gems and possibly diamonds.
I wanted Steven Universe future to be that, a story about Steven & the Gang being on the Run from the United States government that is tracking them down. And that they are running out of time because the American Military has constructed a nuclear weapon that is capable of destroying gems.
@@swiifareSD well you're going to find it on Wattpad, only trouble is I'm the gold medal champion of the Special Olympics for procrastinators
I hated how hard they butchered Spinel's character, my favourite character was done so dirty in the finale that I wish she didn't even appear, so I would only have the memories of the movie of her, instead of this... Trainwreck... Dear god
The finale also didn't make me sad, I wanted to cry, but I couldn't because of how horrible this finale was, so I'm left with bitter sadness because my favourite show ended in such a disasterous manner.
@Pabliski Malinowski Frankly, I didn't have an issue with how she was portrayed, since she more or less went back to her old jovial self, while keeping her evil makeover. She was still entertaining to watch. But yeah, I do agree that she wasn't utilized that well in the finale other than that. I was hoping she'd at least be able to interact with the Crystal Gems a bit, but....nope.
Dude I Agee so much. Spinel was one of my favorite characters and while it did make sense to show she improved, she went completely out of character and was just used as comedic relief. Huge missed potential with talking to Steven about trauma. Jasper was also done super dirty too. She had so much potential for a great redemption arc and instead she’s just..there...for plot convenience..even though it’s implied she was better in Change Your Mind. A lot didn’t sit right with how they handle the characters of this show
Ikr, they really fricked up Spinel’s character and it made me feel really uneasy after watching. I truly thought that I was the only one who thought this, it’s nice to know that there’s some people right here who agree with me on this.
@Party Squad i totally agree with you. It sucked that Spinel was just there for some giggles and chuckles and they totally missed that opportunity for Spinel to talk to Steven and help him.
Teddy Zone Animationz Yeah, agreed. I also agree it’s nice to see other people picked up on this issue. And considering how Spinel was a fab favorite, they really did kinda do her injustice to give her to the diamond and do nothing else
I feel like Kipo and Infinity Train (specifically s3) did the theme of forgiveness right while also at the same time not insulting or demonizing those who cant ever forgive bad people. Kipo's last season was a little rushed to me, but still had the same message and did it way better than this series did in a smaller amount of time.
If you like SU and the messages behind the show I highly recommend both of these series (small warning that Infinity Train can be disturbing at times to some people).
You had *no* right to make me cry like that over a finale that doesn't exist
Your ending is so much better!! HOLY MOLY-
Not really
They would've made Steven suffer more if they fought him.
Imagine how heart breaking it would be to see all of your friends turning against you and fighting you.
So ig he would've been even more upset from that and possibly THEN started destroying everything.
I know the ending was pretty sucky, but if they just IMMEDIATELY started fighting the monster, KNOWING it was Steven, that would've hurt him so much more.
Like really I don't know why everybody was expecting a huge bloody fight between friends, basically family.
@@cosmichild1 the biggest problem isn't that it didn't occur a big fight scene to restrain him( although I was hyped for reading a lot of fanfic) it's that in one episode its seems that he has a lot of way to go to be fully healed of this incident( even if it shows that he doesn't think he is a monster anymore) to one THAT JUST SAYS THAT HE IS JUST FINE. No scene of him going to the therapist. No scene with the gems ACTUALLY showing him that they care about his mental state( besides peridot in one episode) or just trying to make him talk to them. No scene saying that he isn't fully healed. NOTHING. You just don't go to frickin Godzilla to happy boi on like that. At least they could shown like a corruption mark on his body like order corrupted gems and, since he's part human, his scars heal true time due to his better mental state. But nope, he's just fine. If just the episodes were longer.
@@zawarudo3695 Because he wasn't corrupted like the other gems were. He only turned into a monster because he believed he was one. Whilst the others (besides Jasper) were blasted. They were supposed to die but instead became infected and turned into strange creatures.
Also he did mention a therapist a few times after, he also said that the gems were "more protective" of him since his breakdown.
@@cosmichild1 that is true, but the fact that everything was resolved so quickly is just frustrating. Like yes he mentioned the therapist and yes he said that the gems were more protective at him. But, it isn't impactful because it is not showed but told. That's my problem and the hug part. But the rest I agree
I’m about to quote something from a post by bluediamonder on tumblr because their post REALLY helped me understand the finale more and I’m basically gonna recite what they said:
“When Connie bolts in on Lion and is making her (iconic) rallying cry, she never says they need to fix Steven or heal him; she says they need to help him. Because that’s the only way he can get better.”
“The hug didn’t fix everything! That’s the big thing. The hug was a pure, beautiful moment, but I don’t believe it was meant to be a plot device to try to fix everything. Everyone was still emotional, he still destroyed things, he scared people, he scared himself. That wasn’t all magically fixed because of the hug. But his resolve to do the work, get help, and accept what happened to him - that is what made him go from Worm Steven to Boy Steven.”
If you feel like the finale would’ve been better had we actually seen him work through his issues, that is perfectly valid (it is also valid to feel like the message could’ve been more obvious to the viewer, which I agree with).But Rebecca’s vision was different, she instead wanted to show the start of Steven’s journey to recovery rather than the end of it. Trying to show Steven work through the mounds of trauma he has would need its own season if Rebecca wanted to properly showcase all the intricacies of living with trauma. But of course your opinion is still valid no matter what it is!! :)
I wish Steven Universe Future wasn’t canon
I wish it didnt happend it didnt even tie up most of the loose ends they added more
Same, it's just a trainwreck tbh
i honestly didn’t feel the same thing with su future than what i felt with steven universe. honestly like su future doesnt seem like the actual show to me like it feels normal but there’s something off like the characters are a bit more soulless and the plot is like very rushed and the dialogues feel very OFF (especially at the beginning of su future) idk how to explain it like there’s this feeling i felt with SU that im not feeling with SU future it felt like a bad fanfic. oh and steven STEVEN yeah about that.. i absolutely despised him in su future. steven from su and steven from su future are NOT the same person. it felt like the writers tried SO HARD to make steven relatable and sad and depressed, which would work if it wasnt for steven being literally the most adorable and happy cinnamon bun in the original show
And the crystal gems too they were soo out of character
Except for Volleyball
Moral of the story: If you become a monster due to trauma, DESTROY E V E R Y T H I N G
and never let anyone hug you
I’m now thinking it should have ended with Steven getting brutally murdered by Godzilla like getting choked or getting his necked snapped or anything else that’s how it should have ended also I’m a gonna make a script
*it starts off the same but when he roars steven hears a muffled roar from the ocean*
*steven roars back*
*godzilla appears out of the ocean*
*it shows both monsters in a stand off*
*both roar and charge at each other*
*godzilla bites steven*
*Steven head-butts Godzilla*
*godzilla gets thrown into the city area*
*Godzilla grabs the little home world tower*
*Steven jumps on Godzilla*
*Godzilla throws Steven off his back and shoves the tower into his mouth*
*The others look in horror*
Pearl: what do we do! Stevens going to die
Jasper: my diamond will win!
*suddenly the spikes of Godzilla glow blue*
*and Stevens spikes glow white*
*both do their special move at the same time knocking each other back*
*Godzilla gets up and runs to Steven holding by the neck*
*Godzilla throws Steven to the ground and steps on his chest*
*they look at each other before roaring to one another*
*Godzilla leaves but then Steven gets on his back*
*Godzilla throws him on the floor and then snaps his neck*
*as Godzilla leaves the screen pans out with all of the Steven universe characters get around his body and start crying as Godzilla does one, final roar and it looks at the sky and then the show ends*
HA HA HA I DID IT I WROTE A FULL SCRIPT
Petition to have the actual finale scrapped and her's produced as the official finale 😤😤
It was upsetting that CN didn’t want to go with Rebeccas original ending to the movie by killing off spinel. It would’ve changed a LOT of things during future
@Elisa Castro yeah but people argue it's too dark for Steven universe.
Elisa Castro I don’t think that would’ve sent the right message to kids, but permanently shattering jasper, yes
It’s the other way around. CN wanted to kill Spinel but Rebecca always intended her to survive, that was not the message she wanted to send. And the message they sent in the end was the right one.
@@GlobalsoftPirka yeah I wouldn't be fair to kill her for just being upset and wanting a friend.
GlobalsoftPirka Rebecca said she wanted the hero to kill the villain in an interview but CN didn’t like the idea
I think there should have been some resolve with Pink Diamond, like while Steven is corrupted we see inside his mind or his gem, and Pink or Rose appears there. Gives him a hug or some words, maybe explains a few things. It needed something like that.
Oh, absolutely. I would've loved seeing that.
I agree. I know the main series heavily establishes that Pink Rose is dead, but i think it would've been nice to see him actually communicate with his mom somehow. I mean SUF has retconned and ignored half of the gem lore from the main show as it was. Breaking one more part for that wouldn't have did any harm.
Yeah i expected this to happen because in theory rose and pink are still in his gem
yeah!
That definitely...
I really love how your oc acts so gracefully.
I've finally found someone else who agrees! I didn't feel anything at the end. No crying. Nothing. I even lied 2 friends saying I did and kept agreeing with everyone tht said it was a good ending but.....it's not. At least 2 me. It felt so rushed. The whole series was leading 2 steven's corruption but it was.....blah. I was so disappointed.....
SUF was one big cliché and everyone knows it
Every episode
Was a cliché
Period.
Yeah I agree I'm pretty sure every episode was predictable
It even uses the “True Loves Kiss” cliche when Connie kissed Steven’s forehead to turn him back to normal.
Clichés aren't a bad thing always.
@@andieketchum
Yes but they get SO boring after watching them over and over and over again
Lol I can't believe that a fanmade ending without music or voiceacting made me feel much more happy than the actual ending. Great job
I watched SUF with friends as it came out. We fucking HATED the finale. Hated it. I asked my boyfriend to sit in and watch it too, because he never understood why I liked it and I did the mistake of thinking I could show him how good it was! Nope. He was there to witness the biggest disappointment that was that finale. Horribly rushed, ultimately meaningless, sloppy bullshit. Ruined the rewatchability for me. I'm still angry.
I CRIED IN YOUR VERSION.
Thank you so much for making me cry the ending I needed. It was wonderful.
Thank you, dear.
Rebecca is just a god awful writer. And the fact she thought this was an accurate depiction of depression and anxiety really offends me because i have depression and anxiety. And by depicting steven (who is Apparently depressed) as some savage monster only enforces negative stereotypes of depressed folk as violent and destructive beings.
DreamerWeaver it would have been more interesting and realistic-y if Steven somehow poofed, like cracking under the pressure, and all was left was his diamond. Maybe we get treated to the original Gems trying to help Steven at least enough not to shatter by entering the this inner world through the Diamonds' help, a storyline that could have been teased, and it leads to them seeing Stevens inner world and how it's withered, bleak, slowly becoming a cracking strangely nightmarish void. It ultimately leads to them healing the healer/support of the group more fairly, and can have the other characters trying to connect with him to pull him it out of it he reforms and his diamond doesn't break.
Also, imagine them not setting up Spinel with the open chest in Lions mane dimension? ReallyRebecca and co?
The show isn't saying that people with depression are monsters or destructive.
@@Kari166 except it is. It writes Steven off as a jerk and Rebecca backs this up by calling it an accurate representation of PTSD
@@Kari166 1) Rebecca says it is. 2) Steven who supposedly suffers from depression and anxiety literally transforms into a monster. He also almost kills Gregs and straight up kills Jasper.
@@darkerthandark4840 where did she say this? There are other characters in the show who have PTSD and they don't act like Steven. There is no one-size-fits-all for people with PTSD or depression or whatever else. And yes, Steven crashed the van and shattered Jasper. Steven calls himself a monster because that is how he sees himself. The show is not saying that about mentally ill people. Mental disorders/illnesses has been a prevalent theme throughout the show and it's really bewildering as to how people take this one instance and apply it to the entire show.
He talks about how wrong his dad was and how family is a big thing freaking out over it , Yet what does he do becomes his dad 100% and runs away from everyone and everything. He never does go to home world when they try so hard to be there for him. He did make little home world so that was good but home world is his real family.
No, it's not. The Crystal Gems and his dad are his family. Steven isn't close to the Diamonds to go live there.
Josephina Mungaray What he’s trying to say is the diamonds try to reach out to him to become close with him but Steven decided not to be with them
I was honestly skeptical while watching the entire thing, and I feel it would have been much better if they put in more episodes to flesh out Steven and his problems more. Like maybe he tries to console his feelings to people but it is almost stuck in his throat as he tries to get help. It would feel good if he tried more just to be lead to insanity instead of having rushed things lead to the finally. I also wish the final fight was longer, like the finally for Steven Universe. It wasn't bad, it was just mediocre.
If only they did more with the characters to flesh everyone one and the new ideas out.
If your version happened, Greg’s song would’ve been We are the Crystal Gems.
Your version of the ending actually pulled at my heart strings, in a good way.
I love how her version of the SU ending is basically the Adventure Time ending
Huh
[•.•ิ]
Daniel Donovan lol true XD
@Elisa Castro really i taught it was a good finale but not rushed it took its time unlike steven universe in change youre mind
I didn't like the finale but nothing will ever make me angrier than what they did with Jasper. Her arc was something I was looking forward to the most and they ended her story by leaving her to rot with basically little to no closure. The diamonds had more of a closure than her. Seriously Jasper keeps getting the short end of the stick and I felt like the way it ended for her was a big fuck you. #JusticeforJasper
I think the song idea at the end would've been a great idea! Music has always been a big part of Steven's life since the time he was very small, and we've already had multiple scenes where he's masking music with the gems. I agree with your points in that the finale was very underwhelming. When he first turned into a monster I was riveted, then as he basically... didn't attack... or really move at all, I realized we were in for a lackluster ending.
8:46, wait, if bismuth had a completely different voice, *THEN WHY THE HECK DID THEY NOT BRING SUGILITE BACK?* you’re killing me Rebecca.
Probably because Nicki Minaj was their most expensive voice actor.
It's always annoyed me that they always go for like the expensive singers and voice actors when some cheaper voice actors can sing just fine
@@noonebossesthegarnet2890 I think op meant that if they could get a different va for someone like Bismuth, they always could have gotten someone else besides Nicki Minaj to do Sugilite's voice for other episodes instead of never using Sugilite again
@christophergirardi8145 tbh, going for expensive VAs is the worst thing you can do for anything. I hate when Studios does that bs. I get it if they got expensive VAs for singing or one-time appearance, but using the expensive VAs for voicing regular characters is a bad idea
I feel like he's not quite as lost as before. He is working with a therapist on his trauma. It's a work in progress. It definitely coasted through the finish line rather than giving full effort. I don't dislike the ending, but I also acknowledge there is a lot that could have improved it.

i somewhat agree but apparently rebecca said she didn’t want to show more of steven healing because she wanted to give steven privacy and if that’s the case why show us that much of the trauma but not the healing, it just seems wrong, i mean if they planned to have it that way just keep the drama in future to a minimum, make it be him actually struggling with how his mom was before now that everybody and everything’s chill instead of him causing problems by trying to help currently, you know?
i just think if you plan on making every seasons trauma a major element in future your going to need to show proper development to him getting better due to everything everybody remembers from the previous seasons, i think her saying steven deserves privacy is somewhat of a cop out.
plus they could’ve ad least shown a calendar of Stevens pretty consistent therapist meetings or shown something of him meeting with a therapist over a song playing or something, it just feels like too little after them using all the seasons troubles that he’s been through, even more since back then it didn’t affect him that heavily, and back then he had people trying to kill him, but he never got super angry a lot back then, in this new season it just feels like he’s trying to cause problems on purpose, maybe it’s just me but it seems like he just needs that now and that’s just not a stable way to life.
i know they pull a “he’s all better now” though a timeskip but i still think they needed more there to have it be believable, you know?
Uncorrupting Steven should have been a whole arc. Flip the script entirely.
Steven gets corrupted halfway through the series.
They could have explained how the gems were created, because they're like computers, so are probably alien weaponized androids, which means they were created for a purpose. They could have all 4 diamonds fuse into a god form to fight off their creators or the enemies they were created for.
Ikr?! Everyone was like: "I cried so much." and then there was me who was like bruh..Also if they wanted everyone to tell Steven that they love him. Then why didn't the just make some of them fuse. Fusion is a relationship right?? They could Show their relationship they have for him (Steven) by fusing. That would be way better!! ( Your version is great too!!!)
It was so bland
I mean... Fusing is not the be-all end all. It's like saying "Hey why didn't they dance a waltz to prove that they loved him...
Yeah but steven shouldve made more distraction
My friend told me he cried before I watched it. I don’t think he was happy when I came back to our group chat and said it was the most emotionally manipulative piece of crap I’ve ever seen
Yeah but that's also like one of the best ways to experience love and gain an understanding. Even shown in Future with Pearl and Volleyball getting a better understanding of each other and Rose. Fusion in general was just underutilized imo because their fusions were real characters with personalities that were barely explored except for the surface level.
Ok I’ll admit I cried at the ending but I was like “the animators do be liking anime” and then I snapped out of it and was kinda disappointed since there were more questions that I had then what they advertised as “answering all of your questions” or “tying all the lose ends”
@@shesjustafriend2499 tbh the only “loose end “ they tied up was Steven’s mental health
Your remake for the ending almost made me cry, I really wish it was the ending- the rose painting is such a good idea, I love this show and im extremely upset that it ends with this ending, I haven’t watched ‘Steven universe future’ because I kinda lost interest in the show after Steven becoming a diamond, I wish they didn’t introduce so many new characters in future and look more into other characters/things. (Aka jasper and the chest.)
Fuuucccck yessss!! I ADORE hearing people passionately re-imagining something! I do it a lot and I always wish I had the patience and dedication to make them into fully-fledged fan fics or something. But I have considered making them videos kind of like this one. Maybe I'll take some inspiration from you. :)
The WORST thing that I believe came from the ending was how Yellow Diamond restored shattered gems, Steven needed healing spit to heal a cracked gem, Steven used not just the other Diamond Essence but also his healing TEARS (which are supposed to heal stronger than healing-spit) to restore jaspers gem if her shards are put together correctly. But Yellow Diamond just put them back together without melding them in any way.
I mean if all it took to heal a shattered gem was to just casually put the pieces together without any glue then THE WHOLE PLOT OF STEVEN UNIVERSE IS POINTLESS, what was the point of Pink "Shattering" herself. What was the point of the Diamonds grieving over Pink Diamond's shattering, they didn't even say "oh she's fine just put her back together" that's exactly the nonsense they did with that scene with Yellow Diamond fixing shattered gems, THAT WAS BULL____! If they wanted a scene for Yellow Diamond they should've just had her fixing the horns of corrupt gems.
or maybe she could separate but not unshatter the gem mutants
Plot hole
It was mentioned the diamonds only found out about theyr powers after the time skip
@@fairy5484 ^this
So they couldn't restore Pink even if they wanted to
@@cosmichild1 Nice
another thing we couldn't know because the show is a tell not show mess it's always things like this that are important that ALWAYS happen off screen in the show
The most wasted villain in Cartoon Network history is Chad Steven. I’m legit gonna miss that good demon form.
Your ending is absolutely amazing, it made me cry (especially the Love Like You part)! I wish that they had gone with that instead of spending the entire series ruining characters and raising more questions than answering them. The ending was so anticlimactic and was such an unsatisfying way to say goodbye to all the characters we know and love. I honestly wish that we could have a do-over of SUF, but oh well. On a side note, lovely video, and I totally agreed with all the points you made! :)
You got more chills listening to your fan made monologue between everyone than I did watching the actual finale
I hate how helpless the Diamonds where like,
A theory I had was that White Diamond saw Pinks Tantrums and said tantrum Split homeworld in Half
White covered for Pink but in fear she finally gave pink a Colony,
Just like how in Fear she stopped colonization,
It could have been so cool for white to notice this
Your profile pic scares me
I will say I was entertained and satisfied with the ending. It was predictable and rushed, but for the core cast, it was fine. I'm more disappointed with the lack of world-building and all the lost stories. The off colors were such an interesting set of characters and were shafted once again. The intentions of the story were always the tale of steven and his family, but the series always had the problem of poor pacing and wasted potential.
edit: Omg! The lack of no final song made me so upset too!
I don't really care for the off-colors if I'm being honest
The ending you came up with is WAY better! I'd like to see that more than the acual finale! aaand after me watching some other your videos you earned a subscriber.
Summing up the finale
Steven: oh no I'm bad now
Everyone: we love you steven
Steven: yay I'm good again
Also steven: I'm out bitches
Litteraly SUF in an nutshell.
Here is mine:
Steven: look i godzilla and i be bad but do nothing (that is me when i am piggy but not godzilla)
Everyone: *love*
Steven: Ahuff ahuff *cri* me back yesh.
Eveyrone: no leave me
Steven: *IMMA ABOUT TO END THIS CAR'S WHOLE CAREER* I WILL MISS YOU!
Everyobe: *beg cri*
Steven leaves beach city alone...
I would prefer hezu's ending than Rebecca's ending. Honestly I skipped a lot of the scenes in the finale. Honestly Rebecca disappointed me
Hezu's ending???
@@oleanderrain4622 yeah the one she made on the video
I also skipped a lot in the finale. I did not care for anything that was happening.
did u know that there was someone else who wrote the 2 last episodes, or the last episodes
I think Rebecca was trying to rush I wished she can stop rushing
i cant argue with her, she genuinely has a better ending, if i go trough with my plan, i may make a fan fiction of the ending with her side of the great ending. also i read the song, well tried to sing it, and i think it fits so well with her version. I did cry at the ending, so many emotions, sad,happy, confused as why did it feel rushed and a bit disappointed it didn't show corrupted Steven more, just a few minutes of it. i blamed the teens titans go for taking the spotlight of many great shows (including ok ko) but that was until i learned that it was the Rebecca`s own decision to end it. I LOVE SU SO MUCH
Your ending for SU is a thousand times better than the actual ending. You should become a writer
There was a send off song called only human in the credits 8:20
