What was the point of the Sardonyx subplot?
>>81662488
Addressing a deep flaw Pearl has been shown to have for a long time, while also showcasing how sacred CGs find fusion.

A little thing a lot of shows forget to do called character development.
Also to steal the place of best fusion from Opalexcluding Garnet.

>A little thing a lot of shows forget to do called character development.
But nothing from this subplot actually affects the way the Gems interact with each other in later episodes.
rape
>>81662488
Pearl is a rapist.
>>81662751
Something this show seems to forget too lmao
>>81662488
To show that pearl is the thirstiest bitch in cartoons. I'm pretty sure a future episode will have Pearl make Steven cheat on Connie by fusing with him
>>81663004
It absolutely affects how Pearl carries herself in later episodes. Back to the Barn stands out off the top of my head, and posssibly the way she and Amethyst are so relaxed about fusing again in Log Date.

>last episodes were all developing Peridot as a character to the point where she changes allegiances
>no character development
Alright, then.

Less a rapist and more like a guy who tricks a girl into sex by telling her he loves her and is totally interested in a long term relationship when in reality he just wants to bust a nut.
The only rapists in the show are Lapis and Ruby.
>>81663451
Actually more like the guy who tells a chick a snake bit him in the junk.
>Reveal of Sardonyx
>Brief return of Sugilite
>Character development for Amethyst and Pearl
>longer moments of Ruby and Sapphire since Jailbreak
>reveal of Ruby and Sapphire's powers
>reveal of Onion as human, (some people legit used to think he was Yellow Diamond for some reason)
>reveal of Sour Creams family
>reveal of what happened to Vidalia after Story For Steven
>foreshadowing of complete Crystal Gem fusion,
>reveal of original homeworld ships
>reveal of more of peridots megaman powers
>foreshadowing of Peridot actually being a midget
>foreshadowing of The Cluster (this planet has an expiration date and I'm not going to stick around to find out when!)
Lapis&Jasper/Malachite mention: 1 (My escort and informant are gone)
Yellow Diamond mention: 1 (To Yellow Diamond:)
PearlRose thirst: .5 (indirectly mentioned by Garnet in Friend Ship)
Songs: 1 (Amethysts only solo so far in the series)
Emotional Moments: like 3-5 ish
If anything Friend Ship is everything I wanted for a "The Crystal Gems fight Peridot" episode and Sardonyx was way entertaining as a fusion combination not seem before. It was a Good Arc m8
>>81662488
Porn.
>>81663064
So is Ruby.
>>81662488
To give me a boner
more drama for pearl
>>81662488
rape was the oint
>>81662488
>>81663004
To show us exactly what type of gem pearl is. Manipulative and thirsty.
yeah, it seems like the gems don't act different because this probably isn't the first time she's done something like this. I wouldn't doubt she's been doing this with other gems while Rose was fucking all her human toys.
To answer questions such as:
What's Pearl's deal? Why does she suck? How can she not suck so much in the future?
>>81662488
Pearl was the undeniable best gem up to this point, and Becky Sucrose wanted none of that, so they turned her to shit to get people to like the abomination more instead
>>81672243
I think her character has grown even more in recent episodes. People may not like her but the fact that they don't like her as a person(or gem whatever) means she is a good character with flaws. I like garnet because le cool punching goddess, but I can't deny that pearl is a good fleshed out character.
