Mmmmmmmm, I don't know if I can type out how I feel about S5 finale for Steven Universe but for now, I just will say some small things 1) The Animation Okay, the only times I actually liked it was the first half of part one for the beginning of the hour long special. So basically maybe 5 or 6 minutes? Idk, I should of took notes while watching it. And then part 4, which I am going ahead and stretching it to the whole episode. It was tolerable and actually visually enjoyable at times but we all know what part most of us liked. *cough cough* It just hurt watching the sizes of the characters going everywhere the whole finale 2) The Fusions I've never liked Smokey Quartz. Still don't. Character Design seems almost lazy. Though I understand why they look like that. Rainbow Quartz 2.0, first version was better but this one was actually great too. I like how their voice is borderline female and male but I just don't get why they are british. Nothing wrong with the character though, almost looks like that one man for The Adventures of TinTin and Marry Poppins had a kid. Sunstone. Sunstone. Disappointment. I hate them. I don't get how people could like them? I respect their opinion but I just don't understand the appeal. Garnet used to be, and to an extent still is, a cool character. You would think Steven and her fusion would be elegant and cool kinda like Saradoyx. Instead their design looks like it came out of one of those coloring books you can buy at the checkout aisle. Sunstone is basically there with Smoky Quartz when it comes to least favorite fusions. Their personality is so stereotypical and bland. What else would you expect from a dentist sticker? Obsidian was the best. That's all there is to it. So, final say in fusions? The fans had better designs. The final thing I want to point out........ 3) The Fighting Scenes Boring, bland, too slow, lacked in action. People say that some of RWBY's figthing scenes are terrible? No, these were a whole new level. It was so frustrating, sitting there, trying to endure through most of the episode without anything really interesting happening. Bismuth, Lapis and Peridot were no point. The three of them all got yeeted and that was the last time we saw them until the final episode towards the end. Okay, so let's look more on the positive side. What am I looking forward to? 1) Jasper's Redemption. I want to see her and Lapis talk it out, I want emotional drama. I want Peridot to be conflicted with Jasper. I WANT TO SEE THE SPACE TRIO INTERACT AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED. When those three were first introduced the fandom went crazy with headcanons and tropes. I really really hope they don't fuck it up with Jasper. I want forgiveness to take time with Jasper. I don't want Periot welcoming her with open arms. I want Lapis to never forgive her but form a friendship with her eventually over a whole season or more. I want the three of them to take time on their relationship and let it develop slowly and recover slowly considering what the three have been through together. I am actually hoping that Jasper being back will finally get that Lapidot train chugging again. Cause we all know Lapidot has never been the same since the Lauren Zuke incident, right? 2) The development of a new settlement. Expanding Beach City. Getting introduced to new characters with good decent development. Nothing too heavy but something that can be done in an episode or two. Now that a lot of gems are uncorrupted, the SU team has so much to do with this! Literally! Pull a pokemon or something! Y'know! Have a problem every episode that gets solved at the end with the character being introduced being a much better one by the end of the episode! 3) More fusions. I don't think I need to elborate on that. 4) Eventually checking back in space and see what the Diamonds have done to improve. I am sure as hell a lot of things are going to change now that the Diamonds have a different point of view now. Rebecca Sugar has literally put a lot more responsibility on her hands now. She has expections to live up too. Maybe not 100% appeal to the fans but enough to satisfy. She actually doesn't have room for Filler episodes now or at least not for episodes like, Rocknaldo, Tiger Philanthropist or The New Lars. I already feel as if I am going to be disappointed but we will see. The only now I am going to be non-stop sour about, is the hiatus to come. I am rooting for at least the longest we can wait is May, if we're lucky, maybe earlier than that.
