Pearl saying "our greg is clearly the superior" warms my heart
It showed how much she grown and how much she cares now of Greg
@@ivanelugo Exactly my thoughts. I thought about that line when they were watching the Three Gems and a Baby episode and the stark contrast in Pearl's attitude towards Greg.
Exactly why Blue Diamond took him... she knew this was the superior memento.
Greg when he first met Rose: No one can ignore the Universe.
Blue Diamond: *YOINK!*
Welp… she didn’t ignore the Universe! XD
Greg got that Greg rizz
Blue's voice actress might be my favourite in the series, she's easily my favorite diamond. And her reveal was SICK. The fact that Garnet saw a future where they all got caught shows that Blue Diamond would remember the rouge Ruby and Sapphire from all the way back then. Also, poor Greg. Just getting caught up in gem stuff when he should’ve just stayed home.
Kinda a spoiler I guess:
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER
Especially her songs in the movie and future
I always liked Blue Diamond's design, soft voice, and how elegant she is. She's so pretty and her singing voice is so nice!
@@spawnofcthulhu313don’t worry they finished the series
Whenever she sings, it gives me life 💖
i love Lisa Hannigan 💙, her music is absolutely breathtaking too! i love that she was casted and be able to sing along side musical legends Patti LuPone and Christina Ebersole! they are all perfect for the role of the diamonds!!
The one nice touch I like about "Three Gems and a Baby" is that in the past, when the gems visited Greg, he offered them tea and Pearl outright refused. But in present day we see how they have grown and Pearl is the one offering tea to Gregg. Just a nice little thing that shows how these characters have matured and reconciled to a degree.
I never really noticed that. I love the attention to detail the show had.
Tbf, pearl isn't a food person.
a nice little detail from a religious context, if you noticed greg was in ropes holding steven, while being surround by everyone. Looks a lot like mary in ropes surrounded by everyone in the barn, from the Nativity.
They don't talk about it for a while but, Greg's family situation is...awkward to say the least. Greg just legit left his old life behind to become a rockstar and...well here we are
To be fair, his family life was abusive, but they don't show that until future
@@fanaticalistic That's why I was being subtle
@MidnightLucario1 I will say, they are actually done with the series. Patreon is like MONTHS ahead of youtube
@@Art-X-W I mean I just like supporting them and having uncut reactions. I am just saying no one needs to avoid spoilers because they finished the show like a month ago and know everything. TH-cam is just SUPER behind
33:31 THE GREG UNIVERSE RIZZ WAS TOO POWERFUL, ANOTHER LARGE WOMAN GEM HAS FALLEN 💙
I had Tumblr flashbacks (particularly for the next episodes): The Greg Universe charm on Giant Women.
That’s the Mr. Universe special BABY!
imagine white and yellow fall for Greg
@@SaveoYousif if white fell for Greg, he would die
r/gregfuckedarock
Why does every 20 minutes episode of Steven universe feels like a whole movie, gem harvest is kinda like a thanksgiving episode. Even though Andi had trouble understanding his new family, the gems still tried to make the most of it.
oh man, I never noticed that in episode 10 Pearl covers her mouth when Steven starts to get upset about her not telling him anything about pink diamond/the palanquin! That's some good, subtle foreshadowing!!
Rose Quartz is a type of gem. It is quite common here in South Africa.
It's pretty common in the US too. The guys are just... lol
@@briannawhite9307tbh, barely anyone knows about gems that ain't very common (like diamonds or rubies)
@@briannawhite9307 yeah, but if you think about it, she's pretty OP even for a common gem
@@briannawhite9307They're just "sorta stupid"? 😂
@@JazzyWaffles eyy
"rose quartz" is a gem, a rare strand of quartz very beautiful
it’s not rare it’s very common
When this episode came out, people seemed to hate Andy. I personally felt really bad for him. It was obvious he wasn't a bad person
Yeah the guy is just lonely and sad he can't have his family back
People saw him acting kinda racist and immediately hated him like he commited genocide(heh). If a character is kinda racist or is not a perfect parent, fandom will Hate them viciously.
Characters that have flaws are never well received I was on tumblr when this aired and the amount of exhausting melodramatic thinkpieces and people mad at Rebecca for having the audacity to have a character be rude was insane.
Yeah this episode had some really unfortunate timing. It aired like, RIGHT after the 2016 election, so I think in real life a lot of peoples’ relatives had just revealed being, just… Unfathomably bigoted and vitriolic. So an special about connecting with your racist uncle didn’t really hit for a lot of viewers lol. I think in 2023 it’s a lot easier to see what the episode is going for.
@@3ghostsinatrenchcoat Still. If they can 'empathise' with connecting with someone who tried to kill you, I guess it's not that out there to connect with someone who is kinda racist.
I think now you’re catching on to one of the funniest things the writers did on this show, which was to name the inconsequential episodes things like Hit the Diamond and Gem Harvest, and the super important story episodes things like Lion 3: Straight to Video and Steven’s Dream. They didn’t follow this rule ALL the time-just often enough that it would still work on most fans lol. I remember all the excitement and fan theories leading up to the thanksgiving special… priceless.
Ronaldo is fucking scary, He predicts nearly everything in the show during the early seasons lmao@@Art-X-W
Garnet remembered how she made baby Steven cry by unfusing in front of him, so she kept her being a fusion a secret until he grew up a little! This is why I feel like Garnet is the best mother figure than Pearl and Amethyst. (Idek why I said amethyst she just seems like the fun auntie.)😂
and garnet is pretty much an embodied model for a healthy parent relationship, whereas pearl was too attached to someone she lost and amethyst was too distant from anyone who could love her. garnet knows how to nurture and care for other people while meeting her own needs. i wonder if it'd be too far of a stretch to compare steven seeing garnet unfuse to watching your parents get divorced lmao
I absolutely adore how nonchalant Lapis is. She's somehow so aloof and disengaged, but also mellow and easy going, yet so causally chaotic. She's such a chill menace... Lapis and Peridot really are perfect for one another
the reveal of Blue Diamond has to be one of the most tenses scenes in the entire series, the way with how somber Blue Diamond sounds and knowing how ruthless Yellow Diamond is we're on our toes knowing how scary Blue Diamond is, but then we see the slow reveal that she isn't like Yellow Diamond but here actions are still scary
19:06 for the ones who still don't undersand why Steven's glow:
He was happy, and his powers are all about that feeling stuff, and as a baby, this is the way his power appears.
i feel like the steven baby episode was the first time i really thought about the situation like that. losing the love of your life to bring new life into the world. it's a uniquely difficult situation. from the moment steven was born, it was just greg raising him. and then he has to also deal with the fact that steven is part gem, so that poses even more challenges and there's no guides for raising a half-gem.
I really like how that episode questioned this one thing and we got an answer so much later we even forgot that this is a thing.
See what happens when you don't listen to somebody who knows more? Your father gets kidnapped to space!
them: why is Rose Quartz the only one with two names? why is Rose before Quartz?
also them: *casually forgets about Lapis Lazuli*
It's possible that holidays like Halloween simply don't exist in the Steven Universe canon. It's never mentioned as far as I recall, and Andy even says "some kind of candy-giving holiday" as a comparison when yelling at Greg in Gem Harvest.
isn't there literally a halloween ep in season 1?
@@mysterysunfurled Closest thing would be Horror Club, but Halloween itself is not mentioned in the episode.
did you know Rebecca Sugar (the creator) based steven in her brother, who has the same name! The three main gems (garnet, amethist and pearl) are meant to represent versions of herself while taking care and living with her sibling. just a cute curiosity 😁😁
There's an antagonist Fusion lurking somewhere at the bottom of the sea, and an episode is titled "Rising Tides, Crashing Skies". The episode is about Ronaldo making a documentary.
A group of Rubies has just come to Earth for some reason, and the next episode is called "Hit the Diamond". It's a baseball episode.
"Gem Harvest": This.
i mean the fact they didn't realize garnets future vision was the reason she was telling him not to go
ESP considering that’s usually wat they think ig it happens
Remember the idyllic perception Peridot had of Yellow Diamond? She thought that Yellow was logical and that she would listen to her ideas to terminate the Cluster and put the resources of Earth to good use without disrupting the native life. Well... it's the same thing with Blue Diamond. Blue is not really the way she is showed in this episode. That is just the result of thousands of years of grieving. After all, it must not be forgotten that Blue almost caused Ruby to be shattered just because she fused accidentally with Sapphire. The Homeworld Gems are educated to adore their Diamonds and to only see their virtues and never their flaws: like Yellow Diamond being the strong and logical commander of the Gem army or Blue Diamond being merciful and compassive. They are that, but that doesn't mean they can't act the other way.
Boom is the guy at the microphone saying “would” while the entire crowd tries to hold him back
I FORGOT ABOUT THE PUMPKIN DOGGO also blue pearl is probably my favorite of the diamond pearls
Unlike the rudeness of Yellow Pearl, or the unconventionality of our Pearl, Blue Pearl is the "perfect" representation of a Pearl.
The show's creator Rebecca Sugar actually named Steven after her brother Steven Sugar
24:50 Rose quartz is a real gem and lapis’ full name is Lapis Lazuli she also has 2 names
Yeah they checked during the episode
(And someone said Lapis Lazuli, though it was quiet)
Never got over the fact that Uncle Andy is voiced by Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
TO-NIGHT! 😂
I read something where someone said that Greg in "Three Gems and a Baby" resembled the Virgin Mary, at least a little.
well historically the Modonna And Child is very famous when it comes to art so referencing it would make sense
the foreshadowing of pearl covering her mouth is crazy
I love that this show doesn't shy away from showing negative emotions. at all. steven is usually a happy and upbeat guy, but there's these moments where he gets very upset and angry and blows up. and every time it hits you like a sack of bricks, but it never feels out of character. everyone has a breaking point, and he's always got good reason to be upset and angry when it happens.
and idk i personally love it sm as someone who grew up relating to steven so much, im very calm and patient but there are things that will set me off. it's not always sunshines and smiles. that's real stuff. AND negative emotions are not bad. and i appreciate steven universe for showing that.
There are several gems that go by one name .... Lapis Lazuli , Smokey Quartz, Rose Quartz, Blue & Yellow Diamond .... Lapis is prolly the bext example though. I love how different Blue is compared to Yellow. Blue is .... emotional while yellow is authoritarian. For what is coming up next .... buckle up.
You know, for a channel called "Sorta Stupid", you guys are pretty savvy. Rewatching this this hearing your insights about why Garnet may have waited so long to reveal herself, it's really cool.
To show how different the SU world is from our world: there's no mention of Halloween ("some candy-giving-out-holiday!") or Thanksgiving and it's not South Korea, but KOREA.
Blue Diamond WAS in a palanquin, yes.
4:32 When Andy hugs Steven I love how the gems were getting ready to destroy him. They were like: DON'T TOUCH THE CHILD.
In SU all the cuarzs in general have the warrior role, Amatists, Rose Cuarzs...All fighters and guards. And yes, in the episode of Garnet's origin Blue Diamond was inside her palenquin. The show and the crew were from USA but the animators' team specifically were from South Korea I think.
Erik: "Are there going to be legs???"
HMan: "It's not a Gundam."
Me: Well...
Man people criticise you guys so much for missing important things cause youre talking over it but i just dont get it. You always catch little important details that for me shows youre paying so much attention to this show. Like asking if thats why garnet took so long to show ruby and sapphire to steven. Just wanted to say ive been really loving your reactions
Anyone else have a mini heart attack as Ruff pulled out his phone?
Yep..
Honestly, i really like Gem Harvest, ‘cause I felt like it just dealt with something that this Show usually didn’t deal with, which is Steven’s Human-Side of his life, which is why I appreciate Andy.
Speaking of which, I didn’t realize the Gap between Andy’s Introduction Episode and the Episode he showed up again, was just one Episode, man he came back quick.
Anyway, it seems like you’re reaching a very interesting Arc now, I will love forward to see what you thought of it.
By the way, did you check out the Shorts?
Please, upload the reactions to Steven more often, I love seeing your genuine reactions S2
7:40 she turned herself into a pumpkin, funniest shit I've ever seen
The gems changed history so much that the holidays we know don't exist. Even the US is different. They have 36 or 39 states while we have 50 + Russia doesn't exist
The not knowing about actual gems hurt 😭
25:40
HOW DID YOU UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THAT 😂❤
Can't wait to see your recation to A Single Pale Rose, I know you've already finished the series so I wanna see your reaction to you being right lmao 😂❤
@@Art-X-W Maybe at first impression but I think he'll actually like Pearl more after.
I mean we could aske them since they have already finished the series lmao
@@Art-X-W I wish I had a job that gives me more than 25 € to have patreon or stuff like that
But I'm still in uni so fair enough
I’m pretty sure the woman drawing in the animation studio is suppose to be Rebecca Sugar, but I could be wrong
“We haven’t even met a diamond before”
Honey, you got a big storm coming…
I think it’s a perfect showing of Greg’s character that even when being kidnapped, he’s still being super polite
WOOOOOOOO HERE WE ARe
14:27 I always thought she said "wow, thanks for the barn", because Steven taught her to say "wow, thanks!" when given something. She's said "wow, thanks" specifically whenever given something.
15:32 :)
(This is our 2nd winter)
16:59 Hallo doesn't exist -- Andy didn't have a word for "some...candy giving-out holiday!"
23:11 yess I dimmed my light and shut the blinds a little, cozied up with dark chocolate oatmeael
24:57 I mean Bismuth mentioned "Crazy Lace" [Agate]
27:20 I always latch on to the wat she stutters S-Steven!
WOOO
36:09 yess glad you noticed
Aaa next week is amazing
37:59 HA I'm making a note of this, I love that visual sm
40:09 Lol moist got temporarily/jokingly banned from my HS orchestra class (so like 2018 and before)
Words like moist and oily felt weird heh
I think the word "moily" was used a little
I was scared of the title "Gem Harvest" at first, too! XD
Blue Diamond's VA is Irish singer Lisa Hannigan, so as soon as Steven's Dream came out her TH-cam videos became filled with "My Diamond!!!"-type comments.
always lookin forward to sorta stupid's steven universe reactions, yall are so passionate for this show 🤣🤣 the reactions are top notch
I’m excited to see their reactions later on. I wonder if in hindsight any of them noticed details like: Pearl covering her mouth when the rubies were talking about Rose, or the shape it made when Greg unbuttoned Steven’s onesie.
We would ALL let Blue Diamond give us uppies.
Noticing the specific way Pearl covers her mouth when asked about Pink on rewatch makes me want to spoil the hell out of this.
The title is wrong, just see ep 8, 9 and 10
ep 11 is "Adventures in Light Distortion"
- Pumpkin 🎃 is voiced by Zach Callison (Steven & Onion voice actor) while Andy DeMayo is voiced by Dave Willis (also voices Berry from Archer, Meatwad, Carl, & others from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, & many more) & his name is similar to Nick DeMayo the animation director of the episode
- The "Little Green Man" mask with antlers is a reference to the nature god Cernunnos
- In “Three Gems and a Baby” is not only a play on the movie “3 Men & a Babby”, but there are references to Christianity & Christmas like:
- Both Jesus & Steven is born in an unconventional way
- The 3 Crystal Gems are like the 3 Wise Men visited baby Jesus with gifts.
- Baby Steven is taken into an unconventional place to be looked after with Steven in a van = manger for Jesus
- Greg had a blue cloth while carrying Steven which has a bit of a reference to Mary
- Blue Diamond is voiced by Lisa Hannigan and Irish musician but also voices Bronagh in “Song of the Sea” movie
- The movie which Steven & Greg are watching at the start is about a blue alien with a spaceship bearing three diamond symbols who abducts a cow is a foreshadowing to the episode
- During their tour in Korea they passes through an animation studio where Greg notices an animator working on his design for this episode & model sheets
I know it would be difficult for you guys to react to Steven Universe music because of copyright issues, but it would be kinda cool if one day y’all would react to the Steven Universe extended theme song. It’s a small short that is an extension of the show’s new intro that appeared around when Jasper showed up. (Also it would be cool to see a Steven Universe pilot reaction)
Gem Harvest: At the time, it was believed that this was the Crewniverse's response to Donald Trump and his campaign rhetoric...since the episode came out just after the 2016 election and each episode takes almost a year to make from concept storyboard to broadcast, it seemed unlikely, however the controversy over Trump had been going on since the summer of 2015, so it's not outside the range of possibility.
Three Gems and a Baby: There was a theory going around that Greg wasn't tanned or sunburnt, but was permanently "pinked" when Rose megapoofed for the last time to give birth to Steven. I didn't give it much thought one way or another until this episode: in Lion 3, shortly before Steven was born we saw that Greg had an ordinary skintone, but just a few months later (and in winter no less) he has his familiar "farmer's tan", so 3GAAB pretty much confirms the theory for me.
There have been several Gems already on SU who have double names besides Rose Quartz: Lapis Lazuli, Crazy Lace, Smoky Quartz, Rainbow Quartz, and of course the different Diamonds.
Steven's Dream: At the time, I posted that whatever happened to Pink Diamond, it happened on Earth and not on Homeworld or some other Gem colony. There had been hints that Pink Diamond was not entirely loathed by the Crystal Gems (things like Pearl continuing to have the Pink Diamond insignia on her flight suit in Space Race and Back to the Barn), so even if there had been a conflict between Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond perhaps PD was beginning to come around to Rose's view, and that would have been treason to the Diamond Authority.
Blue Diamond's quite unexpected appearance and attitude following Garnet's account of the grim figure in The Answer's flashback told me two things. One, Garnet is not the most reliable narrator; and two, this was the first inkling of how SU might end with Steven successfully saving Earth and making peace with the Diamonds. The facts that Blue Diamond was torn about the presumed impending destruction of the planet that once belonged to her beloved Pink Diamond, that she was willing to come "heart to heart" with a mere organic creature and perform what she thought was an act of mercy for Greg, indicated that the Diamond Authority wasn't necessarily united in thought concerning Earth and its inhabitants, so that even if Yellow Diamond was an uncompromising ideologue Blue Diamond might not be and so perhaps a deal could be made, especially if it was along the lines of what Pink Diamond would have wanted.
Speaking as someone who isn’t on speaking terms with practically anyone blood related to me, I think there’s likely a very good reason Greg chose to cut out his family, live on his own in a van, and not keep in touch. That’s not a decision that someone who comes from a healthy, loving, supportive family does.
looking back, I'm actually pretty sad they never did a Halloween special with a scary corrupted gem or something, SU perfectly nailed the aesthetic of the holidays it DID show ans it's so sad they skipped halloween
Wasn’t that what the horror club episode was? The giant mouth in the wall was pretty creepy.
I think they don't need to do that since there are already tons of scenes that are so scary if we're talking about a child's vision
(Examples: lapiz lazuli and Stevens dream where's she's like a fountain. The hospital scene with Connie and Steven fighting the glued shattered gems. The Friedman's costume becoming alive and trying to forced eat the beach city people.)
I convinced my new girlfriend to watch SU with me (I own the full box set and have watched every episode multiple times) and experiencing her watching it for the first time is exactly why I love you guys experiencing it for the first time. Watching you guys grow into it, slowly learn to appreciate it, love it, and then NEED to see what happens next makes me happy. I love watching people watch and love something I love with all my heart. Watching you have theories and try to guess what happens next reminds me of my first watch when it aird and trying to figure out that was going on. Love you guys!
17:07 oh come one, we have millians off episodes about scary stuffs to watch in hallowen! >:v
As someone who seen Morel Orel I would say get ready for a ride the first season is a bit repetitive but the next two seasons are going to be crazy
Omfg so many eyebrow raises in this video
My aunt also stole me at the airport from my parents as a baby lmao
Amethyst wasn´t there during the war, she wasn´t born yet
11:13 me and my cousin, laughing about something only we understand :D
Oh god you know what I just noticed? In 3 gems and a baby, Greg’s hairline is receding, but he isn’t bald yet, BUT in the early episodes (maybe even the pilot?) we see a picture of Greg and Rose together. Greg is already bald in that picture. Just a minor continuity mistake, but I’ve only just realized it lol.
Clearly he used KEEPS, now available in a store near you! #sponsored
17:11 Halloween is before Thanksgiving??????
As a giant fan of both athf and SU I was so stoked that carl was in SU, just fits so well somehow 😂
“I’m gonna look up if it’s real” 🤦🏻♀️
Apparently, y’all aren’t into witchy stuff, or are a “crystal mommies” 😂
Oh, Moral Orle is great, def watch it!
Those two kids Greg took the dog and sled from were Buck and Jenny! Even back then Buck loved his shades
30:23 men, it was just say like:
- Steven, there is the place where pink diamont dies, don't go because blue dimont is there, and i saw in my future vision that she kill you and all off us, if you go.
Done! Steven will understand.
16:53 According to one of the Crewniverse, I think it was Rebecca Sugar but my memory is a tad dodgy, most real-world holidays don't exist in the Steven Universe world.
There are some that still exist like New Years iirc.
But holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving don't exist in the SU world.
Season 4 finally begins!!!!
"To them it's not doing evil" Fun fact there are zero people who do evil throughout history that believe they are doing evil.
38:00 He knew! 😂😂
Uncle Carl, kidnapping, diamonds. What a few couple of episodes right?
24:46 Her name is a gem name tho Rose Quartz is a gem type
lmao That Hman waited till 17 min in to intro himself XD Idk but Id swear hes got pda
Actual baby Steven is one of my favorites episodes, but Gem Harvest is something else
Animation Director Nick... DEMAYO!!! I never caught that before! 36:00 good catch!
Lapis Lazuli is a two name gem too
Amethyst and Jasper are types of quarts too. Quarts are soldiers, so was Rose, so her leading a rebellion isn't that far fetched.
OMG YOU GUYS ARE FINALLY HERE YAYYY
Gem Harvest came out right after the 2016 elections here in the US and while it felt weird at the time- I think it taught people a bit more empathy. It’s what we needed before awkward family celebrations
Y'all discussed whether it would take a more important gem than a Quartz being required to convince a Pearl to become a rebel... Maybe it takes a Pearl to convince a Quartz to start a revolution.
Ahhaha this bunch brought really interesting discussion can't wait for mkre
I remember when the episode where Pearl was take out Steven's gem I will never forget that my friend who also watched the show wanted her to rip it out, we had kinda a big dislike for Steven back then even now tbh. Funny tho whenever we brought up Rebecca Sugar we'd call her Mommy Sugar.
I don’t know if I’d say the network that showed Johnny Bravo, Totally Spies and Total Drama Island is squeaky clean
Huh... I must not have seen Three Gems and a Baby before. I don't recall ever knowing that Steven's actual first time seeing Sapphire and Ruby was as a baby.
2:25 Quote from every parent ever.
I've never seen a bigger pre-watcher
Moral Orel would be really good
STEVEN UNIVERSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is there a problem with the title where is episode 11 we only seen gem harvest, 3 gems and a baby, then Stevens dream
Lapis is short for Lapis Lazuli you guys
or the fact there is also star sapphire
