![Steven Universe Future - "Mr Universe" and "Fragments" [Blind Reaction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/H8qkkbYXpJI/mqdefault.jpg)
Regarding Greg's family, you see in the episode that he sent a BUNCH of letters that his parents just never opened. They NEVER wanted to hear from him, he wanted to reconnect and they CHOSE to ignore that.
I didn't knew that
Yeah fr, no
Yeah it's completely selfish and Steven is not understanding all the issues they had, but at the same time it's completely understandable, a boy with so much trauma, that always felt weird and left out wanted to have a normal family and didn't know he technically had one, of course he didn't know them so probably it wouldn't have been good
@@DannyRayqu
Also thats quite literally the first time he knows anything baiut his grandparents
I bet u anything
That they dont even know that steven exists
@@gabiwolf1439 well uncle Andy didn't so I assume they don't either
Steven didn’t just “need a hug” he needed the adults in his life to take responsibility for the trauma they dumped on him.
You can't fix yourself alone. You need other people in your life to pick you up, give you the advice you need and not what you want to hear, and maybe a pizza.
Not only that though. He needed validation that they didn't think of him as a monster and still love him for who he his.
They didn't mean to dump it on him, they didn't want to tell him or include him into gem stuff in the first place. It's just generational trauma, it affects kids in some way even if their parents try their best to separate them from what they had to go through.
14:35 I think it’s actually really important that Steven was able to bring Jasper back. This is the moment Steven realizes that there are no consequences for the horrible thing he just did, the same way there were no consequences for crashing the van. It scares him that he can get away with that.
EXACTLYYY. I think it made him question everything he's ever done. The only real consequence he's ever had was getting banned from watching TV, but then he was unbanned after being defended for something he shouldn't have done (taking Peridot's cruiser for a joyride), so even then he was *rewarded* for the bad thing he did. He feels like he has absolutely no structure in his life, no discipline, and it's leading to very strong reactions and fear, things that are amplified by his trauma.
yeah I feel like it only would have been more disconcerting if we didn't already know that you can heal shattered gems this way but since it wasn't new information I think it allows you to focus more on the fact that he shattered her and what that means for his mentality.
also her calling him "my diamond" and saluting is the big gut punch DIRECTLY to his feelings of failure
I think that as a writer you have the problem that there's not really many ways in which a Gem can be seriously damaged without it being destroyed. They wanted to go for the equivalent of "nearly died" and "was nearly maimed" or even "permanently maimed in a small way" but Gems can't lose an eye or bleed to near death. That's why they had to go for a very short scene where jasper was shattered and then recovered.
Steven having a kill would have been too dark and almost a betrayal to the entire show, but him having to deal with being *almost* a killer is much more reasonable
Imagine if he hadn't been able to fix her though - Jasper was out there alone, She'd actively pushed everyone else away. Nobody was going to check on her. Nobody was going to notice she was gone, and if they did they would assume she finally just left. If she'd stayed shattered, nobody would ever have known unless Steven told them. He'd have gotten away with that, too, unless he confessed. And even then I'm not sure what anyone would have done about it?
The “something else” regarding what steven was feeling that you couldn’t quite put your finger on was trauma lol! His disproportionate reactions aren’t just puberty, they’re telltale signs of PTSD. When someone goes through something traumatic and life-threatening, even the smallest things feel “like the world is about to end” like he said during that episode. It’s what Connie’s mom told him about. Childhood trauma. Him “turning pink” is a metaphor for that
I dunno how he didn't remember the hospital episode
Exactly, it peeved me when Scoot didn't get it:D
@@ChiakiMotomaru same lol
Connie’s mom even says that he may be releasing a gem equivalent of quartizal
Connie's mom is Good though I wish we see. Her on the last episode
My interpretation of 18:40 was Steven literally trying to shatter White Diamond's gem himself while in her body. Saying she's responsible for everything and then trying to bash her head (where her gem is) into a pillar is fucking DARK and I remember balling my eyes out during that scene because seeing Steven in this much pain and anger is so hard to watch and process.
i interpreted that scene as an intrusive thought! the way part of him new objectively it was wrong, but also playing out the power fantasy of having power over someone who hurt you.
i remember fully agreeing that steven should do it bc like she has literally killed billions of different life forms i don’t think she deserves any sympathy
@@shiny5068 in a way Steven was using her as a scapegoat, like destroy the villain destroy the problem, but killing white diamond wouldn't have solve anything, it would only traumatized Steven even more.
scoot how did you not realize it was trauma steven was going through. literally last ep connie’s mom talked about stevens childhood trauma which he never handled
right??? they spelled it out pretty clearly haha
EXACTLY I WAS STRESSING HIM NOT UNDERSTANDING DAMN
Maybe this is giving too much credit, but I kind of think the viewers not understanding Steven's emotions and outbursts could be the point. Sometimes you don't understand what someone is feeling or why they're acting a certain way, because maybe that person doesn't know why themselves. And it's important to be there for them and support them anyway. A complex discussion for sure.
I'm actually surprised that people don't understand the impact of trauma or general mental health issues. For some reason it just felt sort of like common knowledge but now I understand a lot more why mental health awareness is pushed a lot because people actually don't get it a lot of the time nor can they relate.
@@marslara I know right
@@marslara this exactly
When i watched the show i understood him PERFECTLY. I *was* exactly like him growing up. So seeing him act and react to stuff on a similar way as i did was something i didn't know i needed to see
I resonated with this so much that it took me months to even finish watching this.
@@darrinlake2343 it hurt so much to watch it i had never seen myself represented so truthfully before
Steven actually pretty much told us that he REALLY needed a hug in the cactus episode. When he realizes that cactus Steven was just copying him he apologizes and asks “who wants a hug?”. He really did just need someone to stop and hug him so that he could breathe. As someone with childhood trauma I find that incredibly relatable. My trauma gave me BPD and PTSD so my brain goes a little crazy and I start pushing people away if I feel like I am an awful person and when people stop arguing with me or fussing and just listen and hugs me and physically and emotionally reassure me it gives me enough peace to start thinking of actual solutions than just thinking about dying.
this is such a good observation
Also the "cactus" metaphor fits perfectly, how he feels like a burden to the gems, as in they'll get hurt if they try to get intimate with him (hug), is just like the hedgehog dilemma.
@@andres_david25 there’s also the fact that cacti are one of the most resilient plants, often known for being able to thrive in harsh environments. On top of fearing hurting the people around him he feels like he should be stronger and more resilient than everyone else, that he should be able to thrive in the environment that he’s in, so he sees his vulnerability as a personal failure despite it resolving 95% of the conflict in his childhood, he doesn’t feel comfortable in that position anymore because of the trauma he faced and he sees that as a horrible thing for him to feel because he’s supposed to be the vulnerable, helpful, reliable, hero for everyone which leads to his imposter syndrome and out of character actions with jasper and white diamond. The cactus was an excellent choice for characterizing Stevens emotional state.
@@SunBeeSmoked I couldn't say it better 🤧, that was the best analysis of the cactus role in the story of SU:Future
Steven literally brought back Lars, a human being, from the dead
Yet ppl think him bringing back Jasper isn't possible
We saw his tears not his spit has reviving powers too
it just sucks because now shattering has no consequences. the gems are now immortal just for the sake of shocking the audience with stevens murder of jasper
@@user-hc3kg4hi7p even steven said that it was really messed up that he can get away with anything, including murder
@@user-hc3kg4hi7p "Shattering has no consequences" how do you watch this show that's ENTIRELY about trauma's effects on your inner self and still have the ability to type that with a straight face
@@KlooKloo i’m well aware of the show’s themes but that doesn’t take away from the fact the gems are immortal now. shattering was like death for them. it made the fights have stakes
@@user-hc3kg4hi7pi feel like all there stakes mostly disappeared after era 3
plus you can still smash the shattered shards more and boom,you cant fix it
or just take one peice with you and throw it in a star or in the void of space
it's not just about the wedding proposal. Steven asking Connie to marry him was not healthy. It was not done at the right time, or for the right reasons. They are both only 16 years old, way too young to be married. And Steven didn't ask her because he really wanted to get married to her, he asked her because he was afraid of her going away, because everything was changing and he was scared. He asked her to marry her because he wanted something to stay the same, he wanted to support his whole existence and his whole well being in his love for Connie. At that moment, he was extremely dependent, plus refusing to deal with the traumas from his past. It wouldn't be healthy for them to get married, because it wouldn't be for the right reasons. As much as it hurt him, Connie was right to say no - or, in her own words, not now. Because she understands that while she loves Steven, she wants to be her own person, do her own thing, be independent. Now, with Steven seeing a therapist and going away to figure things out, he can finally become independent too, so they can be independent together.
He should have waited until at least they had a date. And when they were older.
To be clear: Steven did not heal Jasper alone. He created a soup of the essences of all 4 Diamonds - it took all of them to heal the damage.
He can revive organic life on his own though, as seen w/ Lars, and Pink w/ Lion.
Just like the other Diamonds had positive/negative sides to their powers, Pink’s powers are dualistic:
When ruled by negative, unhealthy emotions her powers are destructive, damaging, volatile. Eventually disconnecting from emotion entirely and surrendering to base instinct as seen in Steven’s corruption.
When paired with healthy emotional expression, she has the power to heal, to mend, and to bring new life. Her joy makes her lighter than air, her desire to protect others speeds her up. She’s an empath, who cares for the wellbeing of others.
It's all about intense and constant childhood trauma and how it can effect a person in adulthood. Steven is suffering from Complex PTSD, which I also have. Dr Maheshwaren mentioned it in the hospital episode abt cortisol, but that's what this epilogue series is all about. Steven never resolved all of his Severely Traumatic experiences, and in the tail end of adolescence he's feeling the effects.
I also have a theory. In Rose's tape to steven, she says "every time you love urself, thats me loving you and loving being you". What if every time Steven hates himself, that's Pink hating herself and wishing ahe had done things differently? In Steven's meltdown and corruption, he calls himself a fraud, but what if that's Pink speaking through him?
welllll, no. we've already come to the conclusion in the end of s5 that rose is dead and gone for good. i think what rose says in steven's tape is more symbolic and comforting than a literal message.
@@capn_toad well if you listen carefully in that episode you can hear a woman is laughing with steven when human and gem steven is about to ‘fuse’, that was something
@@Qwerty-lq2op well if you paid attention to the themes of the show then you would know that steven actually being rose would undo his entire character arc. that scene statrts with gem steven saying "she's gone" and it ends with steven saying "i'm me! i've always been me."
@@capn_toad i’m not saying or claiming steven is actually rose, but the laughing make it seems like she’s still there
The "I'm a fraud" thinking track is pretty common during mental breakdowns, even if it doesn't make sense to an outsider, it's the real feelings someone's having due to an accumulation of traumatic events that lead them to think that way. That's where the counselling comes in to try and challenge these thought processes. It's tough stuff but I love that Steven Universe is having this kind of theme on the show. The awareness of mental health help is super important! Love your channel!
All of SU has been Steven's journey to make peace with his gem side. It was about him becoming a gem. SUF was about his journey dealing with the trauma he's experienced thus far. But now he knows who and what his gem side is. Now it's time for him to go out on his own. Its time for him to get in touch with his human side. He's become his own gem, now it's time for him to become his own person. His journey towards being human.
..Damn it still hurts. Congrats scoot on finishing steven universe. Journey was fun. Hope you keep that same energy with adventure time. Can't wait to see whats in store
Lol I also binged your reactions to SU
Jasper's shattering SHOCKED me. The last two episodes had me pretty much weeping the entire time. I know people have issues with future but honestly I'm happy with how it wrapped up.
Thank you for the reactions scoot! Glad you liked being in this universe.
Bro I put the pieces together the moment she said let's fight it was like a whole equation
Jasper + Steven + fight ÷ episode title = jasper ded
@@Guac_Amole “put the pieces together”
I see what you did there
Scoots beef with Onion will never fail to make me laugh 😭
About the shattering. In steven universe s1 I believe. (when amythest cracks her gem) Pearl says "Rose" could fix cracks and he used all the bottles full the OTHER diamond's powers. It's not that crazy to think the all-powerful creators of gems could revive some.
And he had all Jasper's pieces.
Fun Fact! At the time of me writing this, Steven Universe has been over for 955 days, 18 hours, 2 minutes, and 38 seconds
Dayum
woww... :(
Crying
almost to 1000
Damn, you even did the seconds?
'I don't get why he thinks he's a fraud'
He's traumatized. It's trauma.
And I think a lot of people don't like this season because they actually pivot toward a real person going through teendom and all the trauma spilling out.
The final season folds back all the kid showness and points out a bunch of rather adult themes. Like, his father really didn't do well by him, because Greg projected all HIS issues. And while Greg thought of himself as 'not being controlling,' he essentially abandoned a child to aliens and provided almost no real structure or help.
The fact he had never gone to school, or to a doctor, or anything? That's child endangerment.
Along with, you know, being around destructive alien stuff for most of his life.
Me, I adore this season for actually facing the implications of what they had set up.
I don't know about most of you, but the stuff Steven is saying reminds me a lot of my thoughts as a teen, and I wasn't even partially responsible for genocide and had to face life-threatening attacks most of my life. And my mom wasn't responsible for countless atrocities.
And I still got bent up about stuff. How about you?
Same I was actually surprised to know people didn't like future but after reading the chat and some comments I learned that a lot more people don't know what mental health is about than I thought lol
samesame
ive commented this before, but the hospital scene is one of less than 5 times a movie or show made me cry because god i wish someone had noticed for me
@@marslara yeah some of those people in chat made me think they were crazy or something
One thing I noticed is that if we come to think of it, Greg escaped of a controlling family just as Rose/Pink did. And both did left everything as heritage to Steven to deal with. All the mistakes and horrible things from Pink's past but also Greg's issues with his family therefore leaving him too much freedom. I came to think of it in the episode of Mr. Universe's song and all the Demayo's beef, I wonder how would've reacted Steven if Greg used Pink's story to explain it? Something like: "The way I felt Shtu-ball is the same way your mom felt, I felt like White Diamond was forcing her ways on me all my childhood and I felt like I couldn't breath anymore. You made them understand how hurtful that must've been on Rose and how it was wrong, do you think you can see how I came to leave and find my way on my own?". I don't think it would've sinked in at the moment tho cuz he really needed to deal with his inner turmoil, but the similarities just came to me and I found it interesting.
Yes! At the time of this being aired, I was still living at home with my parents and siblings. My younger brother and I had bonded over this season specifically because we related to it so much. I am the eldest daughter of 7 kids, with an older brother and then rest of them are younger. My parents do not have a healthy marriage by any means and it meant my brother and I had a lot of emotional baggage. Steven reflected that. Seeing a character we grew up with, have struggles and show real emotion was so... comforting.
I personally suffer from ptsd, severe anxiety and depression. Watching Steven struggle was so confrontational.
To be shown we have a right to get upset about things... was shocking honestly. Holding the gems accountable, holding Greg accountable... it was a first. Steven was expected to deal with a lot as a kid, now as a teen, he had to come to terms with it.
This season, was something else and I'm glad it was
What I think is the saddest part of Steven going to see the Diamonds is the resentment he feels seeing these "villains" making such incredible strides to better themselves and never takes a moment to take those steps until after his breakdown.
He IS pushing the answers away.
yes!
A big theme in future is growing up. Steven has ALWAYS been responsible for everything his entire life and he's undergoing extreme trauma along with his puberty. It's why he's so angry and stressed, especially with his father because he's been the adult his entire life and just wants to feel like a kid.
Steven universe itself was a lot of people putting his mothers burdens onto him. Comparing him to his mother, expecting him to be like rose and the pressure has always overwhelmed him, he's just at his breaking point.
I think the problem with Steven was an identity crisis. He wants to believe that he’s a good person, but due to his trauma and his response to it, it led to bad things happening. Those bad things caused him to believe he was a fraud.
I cried my ass off for this finale. I watched this show as it aired-all throughout high school and college. I need others to enjoy this show as you did.
greg and rose really are similiar. they both ran from abusive families and became someone they wanted to be.
the episode is called Shattered and i still got taken aback. now hes 'worse' than pink diamond. he actually killed someone. 'why he holding back' thats why xD
stevens own advice cant help him. steven CANT help steven. glad they werent mad at him just concerned. and you notice, steven was talking to himself with white.
welp stevens spiraling. this was so painful to watch i hated seeing him suffer. (also there was some animation errors i noticed that made me laugh)
discount godzilla! steven needed that hug.
just a little time....goodnight steven universe.
You seem to be forgetting Steven and Connie have Lion. They can get together whenever they want. Connie even said in this episode, to call her when he gets to the bed and breakfast, so they can have breakfast together.
Steven shapeshifts the way he feels
If you remember the episode "Too many birthdays", you'll get it
Normally i would agree with Jasper staying shattered to create lasting consequences but if she had stayed dead Steven would have NEVER recovered from that. Peace and love are a part of his core being and he would never be able to forgive himself after actually murdering someone. If we wanted Steven to heal and grow then Jasper had to come back.
The something else he needed was what they all said, like he had all these powers and new emotions he wasn’t used to and he thought that they were bad because they weren’t the positive things he used to feel as a kid, he had negative feelings and intrusive thoughts and he was scared to tell anyone because he thought they’d think badly of him, he tried to hide the pink diamond part of himself because he hated everything his mom did and didn’t want everyone to hate him, and he just needed to be told by his family that it’s okay to have negative thoughts and impulses as long as you deal with them in a healthy way
oh no your comment just shook something loose in my head....time to deal with my feelings about being like my abusive father g'damn it
my family is not capable of being that for me though rip
These last 5 episodes cemented this show as a top 5 of all time for me. Sure, the finale could've been longer (blame CN for consistently fucking over the crewniverse), but the writing in this batch is FANTASTIC and is still one of the most emotional and well-rounded finales any CN show has had. This franchise was a wild ride in my teen years and I couldn't have been any more proud of it for its themes and characters. RIP, S.U : ']
I think the shattering thing is that you can't fix them without ALL the diamonds so they couldn't do it before because they thought pink was gone.
39:00 Connie said Not Now. The fact you ACTUALLY think she turned him down permanently is DERANGED!!!
Literally-
Ikr? I love Scoot and all but he doesn’t think sometimes
Not really, sometimes people wanna be polite but in the end they are already leaving them in their minds lol
I don't blame him for thinking that, specially since there are no kissings or something like that, I guess is weird seeing them so distant?
@@alejotassile6441no they don't, if your told not now it means not now. it's not a no, it literally just means. not. now, people have things going on and romance is not always everyone's first priority, and the fact that Scoot for several episodes just kept saying "not now definitely means no" is ridiculous, there's yes, no, and not now, it's literally just not the right time, and it kind of pisses me off that since ive said this to people before, that it's being interpreted like it's a bad thing to say not now when your not ready yet..
Keep in mind that Steven actually WOULD HAVE shattered white but in the shot after he tries, the pillar next to white was already broken. Steven hit his head but White didnt because of the broken pillar. Steven was amount to commit murder a g a i n
Steven and Connie forever
Hi
Steven x onion>>>
@@zerodragonsaiyen3268 lmao

@@zerodragonsaiyen3268 w
Two things, White said "That's not Steven anymore" implying that at least for a while, Steven was just gone, so the reason he turned back into Steven is because they showed him they still loved him, even though he thought they wouldn't and that made him cry, and his healing tears "revived" him and helped him heal, the other thing is that Rebecca Sugar's husband, the OG co-creator of Steven Universe @ed Cartoon Network asking them to let them make more (Steven Universe), so there is a murmur
Jasper always saw steven as a diamond he just didn’t respect him because of what he is but when he shattered her she respected him and bowed to him
I remember needing a whole week to recover after the finale.
I was there when the first episode released. I was there for the first Steven Bomb. I was there when we learned that Future was the end.
What a good show.
I like to think that lapis' gift has something to do with what she said on distant shore
"So many colors i have never even known"
Rebecca said that this was the end of the show but that she would still work with the charecters in the future.
When it comes to how mad Steven got at everyone, especially Greg. That kind of family trauma will fuck you up and create hostility that doesn’t need to be there. Plus we know from the hospital episode that his body is reacting to every stressor in his life as if it was a life threatening danger. Combine both of those with the emotional uncertainty that permeates heavily at that age it’s pretty understandable why Steven got so screwed up.
It's over isn't it?
I really really enjoyed this journey with you scoot! All your steven universe reactions were absolutely amazing!! I'm tuned for more Owl house
Also excited for the journey on your gaming channel with the steven universe games.
Rewatching Steven universe with you was a thrill ❤️
It’s not Puberty you’re talking about it’s trauma lol😅 he’s clearly mad about his life and all the things he’s been put through in retrospect.
Im kinda questioning if you saw/understood the hospital visit for steven
its ptsd from all the terrifying things he went through as a kid and having to take horrid punishments cuz of his mother
severe stuff like his gem leaving his body (his gem is attached to his guts and stuff)
threats of shattering (being killed)
and figuring out his mom was just like the people that threatened to kill him and the other gems
he had to solve every single problem his mother put on others and his family
and when everyone was okay he was left with only himself and no one “wanting” help from him anymore
He felt useless for that
but because he’s always the “fixer, therapy friend”
he didn’t want to dump his problems on others
i find steven universe future to be an okay series as someone with ptsd and depression
greg had too much structure growing up, leading him to overcorrect and not give steven enough of it, or any of it really. greg sees steven's outburst as self expression and not the dangerous meltdown that it is because when greg was his age, he had to hide who he was and keep his emotions stifled.
you cant fully blame greg, the gems always told him to step away when it came to gem stuff
Yeah. And he listened because he believed them to be more educated than he was. Not only that, but it seems like his parents are genuinely very judgmental, maybe even abusive people. Look at all those letters they just... ignore from him. Of course he kept Steven away from that. Family isn't shit if they can't love like one.
And a lot of the stuff Steven wanted him to provide-- especially school, or doctors appointments the first 13 years of his life-- genuinely was impossible. He's half-alien, he *can't* enroll in school, maybe not even online. He probably doesn't even have a birth certificate. He shoulda spent more time w/ Steven, and he shoulda been getting him checked out by Connie's mom a lot earlier, but... that's it. Otherwise he's been a very W dad throughout the series.
@@onettaviator5396 and not only that but greg tried to do the best he could with what he had, he was poor for 3 seasons straight, even built steven his home and when he got his money the first thing he wanted to do was in enrol steven in college which he then declined
@@jasonb3651 EXACTLY
"Cookie cat, he left his family behind" -ep2
Then you get the last episode of future Steven leaving his family
also god DAMN dude, that second to last episode has now made me cry 4 times. first was when i watched it, second was when i watched it with my nephew because he hasn't finished it yet, third was when Krystal reacted to it, and now when scoot watched it. i will always love this show with all my heart and the moment with corrupted steven just hurts my soul.
YES, there is a chance that the series will be coming back. Ian jq(ex member of the crewniverse and rebecca sugar's husband) has made a tweet abt it but then deleted it because he didn't want big to make it too big of a thing. And i think CN has said somethings too, actually the reason SU future exists is because CN realized how succesful tge series was and they gave rebecca permission to develop this series.
Dude that's how mental trauma does to you, you don't tend to see the people around you trying to help. It's very accurate to most people with mental issues, more so specific kinds but a lot of people don't even want to talk about it because it's something incredibly sensitive to talk about.
I cant wait to rewatch your entire steven universe playlist in a few months!! this was fun, your reactions were great
I feel like keeping Jasper shattered would make Steven irredeemable
With Connie saying "Not now" to Steven's proposal, its definitely NOT a no, shes literally 15 years old, shes preparing for going to college early, and preparing to become an adult, so obviously she's gonna say no, she has too much going on in her life to get married, plus shes a literal teenager, she shouldn't be getting married anyways, neither should Steven at that age
NOOO ITS THE END
it was such an amazing adventure watching SU with you scoot!
literally when Steven shattered Jasper, my jaw DROPPED to the ground
I said this in the last ep but I think it's important that we started with Volleyball's cracked face as a result of Pink Diamond's uncontrollable power and emotion, and we get to see the effects of it with Steven and Jasper. When we meet Pink in the original series you see she has a very gentle, softspoken voice, and she's very careful around smaller gems because you know what happened to Volleyball affected her greatly. Steven starts this series off hating everything bad that Pink did and then doing them anyway, not out of malice but out of uncontrollable emotion as a result of trauma (which Pink did).
Me encanta el final que te deja una sensación de que los personajes seguirán con sus vidas por más que no los veamos, el mundo seguirá viviendo y desarrollándose eso me encanta.
Anyways it was fun watching you react to this show!! Can’t wait to watch more of ur reactions!!!
i started watching u cus of u watching steven universe and it happened to be in the beginning of my relaltionship, now my relationship is over and so is this too. u literally were the the comfort and nostalgia throughout that era of my life that steven universe reminded me of. i get sad cus ur dead a reminder of him but iss ok cus all there is to do is move on :( ty u gained urself loyal ass fan
I only wanted to lyk cus u were dead saying how shows can have significance on peoples lives that we would never know unless u were told that, and that just happen to be me with ur channel too, thats so crazy to me
30:34 I can't be the only one who likes the fact the diamonds are Crouching On the water
Some people hate on the last season of steven universe but i love it. Kinds like child actors and how they crash, in this case its child heros and how they crash. You just didnt see it for other shows because they usually just end.
Best example i can think of is characters like like Johnny Quest when they appear in Venture Bros...
@IAmJonis I loved watching your reactions to SU and it was a blast watching yours and Scoot’s back to back. Both of y’all are awesome channels.
I like how they show that the 3 “big” diamonds have all these untapped powers they didn’t know about (kinda like Steven), but it’s not like they just became good people suddenly after being tyrants.
Their newfound powers are of diminishing helpfulness. First we see yellow fixing shattered and corruption-scarred gems - something that’s a VERY big deal in the context of the story. Next we see blue… helping gems feel good? This does make sense considering how many gems throughout homeworld must be traumatized, and she can be sort of a healer in that sense, but it’s not exciting the way the prospect of potentially fixing all the shattered gems from the war would be. Then we get to white Diamond… the kookiest of the bunch, the ultimate scary grandma… and her big new power is… letting people control her like a marionette. Any attempt at empathy from white gets a gold star for “most improved” but it’s still out of touch in a way that makes sense for what she represents.
When the show was still running there were so many memes about Onion being Yellow Diamond
It's crazy to think that no one really noticed that Stevens hair was a mixture of Stevens and pinks. But Steven tried to keep it like his.
Actually, about spinoffs, one of the creators of steven universe tweeted at cartoon network asking them to "let them do more", so who knows, now that the crews ready for a spinoff maybe they can convince cartoon network eventually
7:24 the staticy sound in the bg of this scene SCREAMS dissociation to me. as someone who was developing worse and worse depression and anxiety over the course of her early to mid teens that really hits hard in terms of relatability. steven is very much not being reasonable there for still being mad but with the context of the stress he's been under his whole life it's really not surprising that his mental health is severely messed up. it's almost more surprising that it's not MORE messed up. idk him dissociating there and tuning greg out feels real to me even if it is unreasonable and not governed by logic
One of the big themes of Steven Universe future is coming to terms with being parentalized by all the adults around you. The reason why he's so mad with his dad is because Steven had to address every single problem that all the adult figures around him were not mature enough to handle. He had to be a parent and lost his chance to be an actual child in the process.
Honestly, i think Connie "turning steven down" isn't what caused steven to swell up and turn pink or whatever, i mean, it played a small part of why it's happening, but really it's mostly because he's been dealing with all the pent up trauma and emotions he had to deal with during SU.
Greg's family really is awful when you think about it. They treated Greg more of a legacy then his own person. They decided everything for him, his haircut, his clothes, what he ate, nearly everything. So when Greg saw his chance for freedom he took it and never looked back. However we do see that over the years Greg did try to reconnect with them to tell them about his life and even Steven. Sadly though we see that they never even opened the letters, they kept them but never opened them. It's like once he became his own person they just shut him out from their world of schedules and routines.

Bruh, I just realized that Spinel said she did what she did so that Steven would die alone, OH MY GOD that’s hella dark.
*[Here we have it... the conclusion of Steven Universe, and Steven's arc...]*
I remember seeing you everywhere, man... Or was it a different one? I don't know honestly, it's been forever.
The reason shattering was seen as final was because you need the power of all diamonds to fix it, and before Steven the diamond didn’t give a shit
I just notices Stevens cool shoes in the Mr. Universe episode. I kinda want them
This has been such a trip😭rewatching the whole series with you. It’s been real 👍🏼
In my room I have an autograph wall and mostly half of them are from Steven universe.
I got the voice of jasper, steven and one big poster that has all the crystal gems with spinel and Rebecca sugar too.
I would forever have them with me and remember how much this show helped me through tough time!
Forever believe in Steven!!!
noone in chat getting the point of jasper surviving and steven being mad at greg, its making steven realise hes had to no consequences to his actions and he can do anything without being in trouble and its not okay and causes him to flip out with all his childhood trauma and repressed emotions, making him feel like a monster that everyone enables
Steven's tears brought back Lars so bringing back a shattered gem isn't that far fetched.
"I'm a fraud" - Imposter Syndrome. In simple terms, it's where you've come to see yourself as a terrible person and when others express how much of a 'good' person you are, you believe you've tricked them, that you're being fake to keep that image which further makes you believe you're a bad person. I struggle with this myself.
You believe that all your actions have ulterior motives, even if you weren't thinking like that. You believe that you putting on a face around others isn't to spare their feelings or whatever other reason but to hide how you truly feel, because if you get upset or outburst then, you'll be 'seen as a fraud'. You build this image of being kind and helpful and nice to everyone, so when you start to feel upset or angry, you think yourself to be a bad person.
"They didn't mean to hurt me, therefore I shouldn't be upset."
"They just don't know any better! I can't blame them for that."
"They apologised! I should just let this go, it's not a big deal."
You invalidate your own feelings, you justify everyone's actions, so to feel upset by anything makes you feel like you're in the wrong.
Because you fear if you act on these feelings, you're going to hurt someone and if you do that... it actually makes you a bad person.
But it doesn't.
Being angry, and upset, doesn't make you a bad person.
How you deal with any emotion, shows your character. Lashing out (I didn't know how else to phrase this so please take it with a grain of salt) is still ok, so emotion just can't be contained in words... but in a controlled environment. Rage rooms is a good example.
Having emotions, isn't a bad thing... it's human
Scoot, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I think Mob Psycho 100 is a great show to start next. I definitely think it filled a Steven Universe sized hole in my heart when I watched it after SU ended and it quickly became one of my favorite shows ever. It has some similar themes to Steven and has spectacular animation and just an overall really fun and sweet story.
*taking notes*
While you're not wrong the main issue was his PTSD from all trauma the he endured in Steven Universe.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience this show all over again :)
Scoot: Sorry, I'm not much of a crier.
Me: Don't worry, hon. I'm crying enough for the both of us. XD
I'm so sad to see it end. Loved your reactions though! This show made me sub for sure
Really happy i got to rewatch steven universe and future with you again since the early reactions, thank you Scoot!!
This is a month old for now but I've got a couple of points
1. This isn't his puberty it's his trauma manifesting in emotional instability and outbursts
2. Donnie saying not now was the only correct answer, it would've been so much worse if she said yes when she couldn't handle something so big at such a young age ans you shouldn't be mad at her for it
3. Yellow couldn't have fixed Volleyball/Pink Pearl because that crack couldn't have been healed by Steven either, it's emotional damage
Same with why Spinel still looks the way she does, her appearance changed due to emotional damage
SU is my all-time favorite show, and I've seen just about every reaction series. I can say in all honesty, Scoot, that this has been the best I've seen. All the love bro. See you in the other shows.
At this point...onion is just onion bro. We don't question it. Lmao
it was very fun to watch my beloved show with you scoot :) thank u for the laughs and everything ❤️
Some of the people that worked on steven universe actually talked about wanting to bring steven universe back but they can't do that without cartoon networks permission, so there is a very small possibility if the steven universe community will be very loud to cartoon network that steven universe might come back at some point
He didn't want anything from anyone. He is suffering from symptoms of PTSD because of how traumatic his childhood is.
Now that his life has calmed down he's starting to process all the complicated feelings he has about everything that happened to him. They explained that in an earlier episode honestly. All Steven really needs is a therapist and a strong support network.
When we flashed back to young Greg in the series he was literally homeless, busking for spare change, eating other people's garbage out of a trash can. He was chosing that over whatever happened in that house. Steven is never ever going to hear details (at least not until he's much older and they've both had some heavy therapy) so we're never going to hear details, but some bad stuff clearly went down.
People do not go full no contact with their parents on a whim. People do not go full no contact with their parents for like 20 years and not even contact them when they are homeless living with a newborn baby in the back of a van during the winter because their parents were a little stuffy or controlling. We know how dedicated Greg is to Steven's health and happiness and he kept him away from and unaware of his grandparents even when Steven did not have a house to live in until whatever age he was in the extended intro - old enough to write bangin original songs and play the ukelele like a pro.
We don't know what Greg's life was really like to cause him to completely cut stakes with his entire family and change his name but I don't think it was a bad haircut or their disapproval of his being a wannabe rocker. Something happened, y'all.
there are books about the series, more information about diamonds, the owner of rhodonite (morganite) and stuff
did.. did you forget the existence of the ENTIRE hospital episode!? It explains exactly, OUT LOUD, what is happening to Steven in the entirety of SU:Future. AND it takes place AFTER Steven proposed to Connie, so they DID talk afterwards. How was the chat not yelling at Scoot the whole time?
Scoot pauses so much, a little too much, and still doesn’t listen and get why Steven was feeling this way 😭
I don't know if someone has already mentioned this but I just wanted to talk a bit about how I feel about the Mr. Universe car scene-
I think the main reason Steven got so mad was that he was seeing this sheltered, safe, 'normal' life that Greg had with his parents, and thinking that that was the best life ever. And from his perspective, it is. His everyday life as a kid consisted of going on life-threatening missions, fight off deadly gems with the intents to kill him for things he never did, and dealing with the Crystal Gems' emotional issues every Tuesday. Of course he would look at a life where he could live without fearing for his life and being able to go to school as the dream. All of these feelings are heightened after his time at the hospital is still fresh in his mind, and having to come to the realization that all the experiences he had as a kid actually impacted him mentally. And THEN to find out that that 'perfect sheltered life' was RIGHT HERE? That he didn't HAVE to live with the gems, that there had been the option to live a normal life this whole time?
Obviously we know that Greg's parents were terrible, Greg knows his parents were terrible, but to Steven? To Steven, it meant that he could've lived a normal life without the stresses of saving the whole world , it meant he could've had two parents who protected him from danger, it meant he could've gone to school and made some friends his age. It's completely fair for him to feel jealous of his dad here.
So this is not an official/canon story to Steven universe, it’s a fanfic but I really enjoy reading it. It’s by revolver-d. basically is a story about how pink diamond had a third pearl before the other 2 and she REALLY messed up because of it amongst other things that happened to her which you can find out if you decide to read it, 10/10 recommend
Opinionated paragraph by me if anyone is interested:
To me, it was more of a self-corruption type of thing rather than shapeshifting. He experienced so much trauma growing up and now he is unable to process certain issues that typically occur in a normal life. His dad ran from a normal life, Connie wants to go to a college that’s miles away from him, Lars and Sadie aren’t together and living separate lives and his favorite band group broke up, there are so many changes he couldn’t cope with. Add that to all of the trauma he experienced from episode 1 to now and it all becomes too much to handle. The actions he committed in recent episodes are a result of him trying to cope with these changes and it all got to a point where he started questioning himself entirely as a person. He feels like he shouldn’t be feeling this scared of such changes that make his friends happy and he believes he was a monster for every wrong thing he had done in trying to prevent these changes. Couple that with what Jasper was teaching him in an attempt to control his outbursts and the resulting grievances, he lashed out in feeling everything flooding back into him. He’s angry, he’s heartbroken, he’s confused and unaware of everything that’s been happening without him. His mental state couldn’t cope with it all. For the corrupted gems, their mental states were artificially warped and broken and for Jasper, the physical passing of the corrupted was fueled by her guilt and fury over the supposed shattering of Pink Diamond and constantly being defeated by a fusion. Her mental state was already hanging by a thread by the time she tried fusing with a corrupted gem just to win a fight. Each gem who suffered corruption kept the physical scars that came with it. With Steven, his corruption came naturally and was fueled purely by his overwhelming guilt and trauma. His scars aren’t physical because he is constantly healing as well as being half human, but the mental and emotional scars were always there.
this has been a great series!
Andy is greg’s cousin, a father’s cousin is sometimes called an uncle.
When you talk about jasper being shatttered and only then really showing steven respect the same way she shows the other diamonds, its really just because steven proved he was one by her standards. For jasper, the only gems that could actually defeat her in one on one combat are diamonds, as well as jasper having been a front line soldier and witnessing all 4 of the diamonds shatter gems (I'm assuming), steven proving he can do both was what raised her respect up to the same level as the other diamonds. Id also like to say that we never had all 4 diamonds' power infused together in a healing way before steven, so I'm sure that steven was the first and only person in history to even try to heal a shattered gem in a genuine act of remorse and/or love.
its a miracle that we even got the movie and future since cartoon network was ready to cut Steven universe off after the wedding episode I still think future is a good send off
bonus:
one of the main creators of Steven universe said that they are interested in making more but I wouldn't get hopes up
