It’s obvious that she wants people to recognize that these behaviors aren’t okay but it’s clear she either doesn’t know how to do it within the context and attitude of the show. But, here’s the thing: If Sugar wanted to tackle subjects like emotionally abusive families and codependent relationships, she needs to be willing to put in the time and effort to address them. ![]() I guess I should have listened to Rebecca Sugar when she said the series wouldn’t have any real villains. But, the Diamonds can just say “sorry” and make everything okay? Like they’re shitty people, of course, and Sugar makes sure we know that they’re behavior is unacceptable. They’re pretty much irredeemable in the eyes of the show. The show is okay with glossing over the fact that these are dictators who have taken over countless solar systems, but it doesn’t bother giving redeeming qualities to run-of-the-mill douchbags like Kevin and Marty. It’s glossed over despite that being what made them so genuinely awful in the first place. The Diamonds, at least Yellow and Blue, I understand their emotions and actions, but the show never addresses the fact that they’ve destroyed countless worlds. Peridot’s redemption arc was better because we still saw her struggling afterwards, and she earned it. Redemption arcs are great to have in shows. White and the other Diamonds help heal the corrupted gems Why are you throwing a temper tantrum?” Then White realizes she’s being silly and just turns good. It’s just suddenly, Steven basically saying, “You’re a bazillion years old. Like, White’s Heel-Face turn basically becomes good out of nowhere. And the Crystal Gems don’t even seem to have a problem with it, They get like half a minute of realization each, and just decide to help Steven. I guess even though I know this is a show about forgiveness, which isn’t something I mind at all, I wish there was more to the Diamonds’ redemption arc. Certain things happen to fast, and a lot of things are resolved but it’s very underwhelming and not satisfying. I don’t know if we need that many episodes to do it.Īnd it won’t be as satisfying since it’ll be rushed.Īs for the episode itself, it’s pretty solid for a Steven Universe episode, with the usual criticisms about pacing. I mean there are some plot threads that I would absolutely love to see resolved: gem harvesting, the Zoomans, how the Off Colors and uncorrupted gems adjust life on Earth, what life is like for Lars, more information about Pink Pearl, what happened to Homeworld after Steven leaves. Or even Boruto it, and have a spin off with Steven and Connie’s weird quarter-gem child. The Crew is pretty obsessed with anime, so maybe they’ll pull off a Naruto: Shippuden deal with all the characters aged up a bunch. Like where can they possibly go from here? And they’re going to spread the twenty episodes over like a year and a half. I can’t imagine why they need another season and a movie. ![]() Most of the major plot threads are solved, White Diamond is defeated, Lapis and Peridot officially join the Gems, the corrupted Gems are healed…just to name a few. In every sense of the matter “Change Your Mind” was a grandiose series finale, except for the fact that it isn’t one. There are far too many implications for the series. I was going to ignore it, but I couldn’t. It wasn’t my plan to write about this episode. I haven’t been reviewing all the episodes of the past Steven Bomb, but I’m going to make the assumption that if you’re reading this, you know what’s going on. The “Battle of Heart and Mind” special, officially titled “Change Your Mind” is 44-minute long special and the Season 5 finale. Luckily for all of you, this is the last time you’ll have to hear me talk about it. Once again, we’re back to Steven Universe.
