Navy is Amazing
Holy cow, Navy is smart. Like, really smart. Sheâs not only the smartest Ruby weâve seen so far, sheâs one of the smartest gems weâve met period. In âRoom for Rubyâ she displayed an impressively high level of cunning, emotional control, and tactical thinking:
She falls out of the sky,
Comes face to face with the jerks who threw her and her friends into space,
Quickly realizes sheâll never be able to outfight them,
And right then and there she improvises a plan to get her enemies to let their guard down so she can steal her ship back and save her squad.
And it works!
In one episode she managed to accomplish something both Peridot and Jasper failed to do in two seasons: She escaped from Earth.
I gotta say, Iâm really rooting for her and I want to see her again. Itâs been a long time since weâve had a character whoâs successfully proactive, and after all of the times the Crystal Gems messed with the Rubies itâs hard not to see this as justified.Â
She saved herself, and now sheâs going to save her friends. Sheâs the hero Homeworld needs, not the hero they deserve.
