I'm sorry the fandom's getting all upset over your comic. I personally liked, and honestly I want PD/RQ to come back. So just ignore the fandom~ they can make their own stuff.
Hi, thanks for the support! I really appreciate the people who feel happy or inspired with my comic. Iām here for the people who wanted more out of the movie!Ā
Itās alright, this is the SU fandom. Legit everything I post has some sort of controversy over it. But I can understand where some people are coming from. Some people prefer Pink stays gone, some people prefer to see Pink as the true villain, and some want to blame all of Spinelās actions on Pink. Theyāre all personal interpretations, just like mine. ANd Iām gonna heavily disagree with them, but iām not gonna attack them for having their own opinions.Ā
I think itās okay for people to think otherwise about my comic. I made it for the people who were disappointed with the movie. As stated before, I made this comic because of the rejuvenator. As soon as that was introduced, I knew immediately it would be used to revert Stevenās gem into Pink Diamond. I was likeĀ āOmygod are they actually doing this? TheĀ āSheās Goneā statement just got reversed with the reveal of this weapon!ā I was so excited.Ā
I thought Spinel was gonna use it to revert Stevenās gem so she could confront Pink directly. Not take out her anger on her son and everyone else. If that was her true intention, her actions would have been 100% more validated and I would have sided with Spinel supporters.Ā
But she didnāt. She used it to reset all of Stevenās friends, which lead into this amnesia arc being 60% of the movie. Which is the root of the pacing problem everyone has been irritated with.Ā It was interesting to see all the gems relive their lives in a different light, but.... I felt like it wasted a lot of time.Ā Ā
Sapphire is the one to save Ruby this time. Pearl is actually serving Greg, someone she held a grudge against for so long. And We finally get to see how little Amethyst acted, plus we see original pure Spinel. But aside from Spinel, weāve already been through all this. Do we really have to re-witness the gems go through their character development thatās been going on for years just altered and crammed into the hyped-up movie?Ā
This plotline just felt like a filler Steven Bomb. Not movie material. The only new thing we got out of this was Stegās fusion. (Which shouldnāt have been possible in my interpretation, because Steven is no longer fused with his gem. Pink is in control, not Pink Steven.)Ā
The whole time Steven is upset, running around town with his friends trying to bring back their memories, Spinel is just there. Sheās being annoying. The third wheel. Sheās completely ignoring the problems at hand and trying to distract Steven so he wonāt be sad anymore because that is her job as a gem. The worst part of this is that SHE is the cause of all these problems. And Steven has to go around fixing it by himself while she just annoys him.Ā itās not what friendship truly is. Itās why Pink got annoyed with her. Because she just... doesnāt know how to grow up. She doesnāt know how to change, and she doesnāt want to. Her best friend had to leave her and literallyĀ ādieā / disappear for her to change.Ā
Seeing how insensitive Spinel is to other peopleās sadness, or her inability to cheer them up without completely ignoring the problem at hand is the root reason why I didnāt like her original form as a character. From the very beginning, Spinel was always selfish, which is what lead her down the path of destruction later on.Ā
But look at who she changed into. Omygod villain Spinel? She somehow gets her hands on a massive poisonous gem drill and the most ancient deadly weapon of gem society. How, and where? Omygod. THis was amazing. She had a plan. She was gonna kill the Earth, revert Pinkās friendās so they wouldnāt remember her anymore, maybe kill her son to make her suffer, and finally, revert her gem so she is in control and can reform, so she can witness all of it. This right here is an evil genius. I was THRIVING for this character. I wanted to see what more she could do.Ā
She absolutely DESTROYED the crystal gems. How could she fight so well? She was running circles around them and they couldnāt keep up. Iām so desperate for SU villains because there arenāt anymore. Steven keeps befriending them and itās pissing me off!!!! DONāT!! TAKE!! MY !! VILLAINS!! STEVEN!!Ā Whereās that Aquamarine that didnāt fall for his speeches? Bring her back into the picture.Ā
Like hey, I do want the characters to find happiness in the end. I love redemption arcs. But this is too predictable now. Itās getting boring. And itās getting kinda hectic because some characters are being redeemed when they should have been shattered. (*cough* White Diamond *Cough*...)Ā
I love villain characters because thereās so much more to them. Theyāre a whole new mystery to unravel, a new cause of problems for the protagonist, the plot device, the MAIN ELEMENT THAT DRIVES A STORY! Without a conflict, what even is a story anymore? Itās done. Itās ended. And there are rumors going around Steven Universe still has another season. But for me, the diamonds were really the icing on the cake.Ā
You canāt top a towering all-powerful big-brother-surveillance gem that can literally take away your free will and control you like a puppet. You canāt top that.Ā
So ever since hearing Change Your Mind wouldnāt be the last SU episode, I knew it was downhill from here. Unless Rebecca can surprise me somehow? Idk. I still love Steven Universe. Iām sticking around to the very end, and I respect Rebecca and her choices.Ā
Buttttttt... Iām just sayin..... if I wereĀ in charge?Ā
Things would be veryyyy different.Ā
