Tbh, I wish they did more with Lars' space adventures. The ending if "your mother and mine" seemed like it was leading into an arc

Overall, my impressions?
POSITIVES Excellent representations of a number of mental health issues that our society faces today. Everyone from the villains to the heroes all face issues that are allegories (or straight up representations) of mental health issues and social issues. The animation and ESPECIALLY the music were excellent. The narrative was very well done. I felt like I could kinda guess at things in a vague way but couldn't ever piece it ALL together, but it makes sense. Beyond a couple of moments here and there, the characterizations were amazing, and you could see the reasoning as to why they do what they did. Even Pearl at one point not saving Steven... she at that point was not wanting anything to do with Steven and actively was kinda wanting him to go away. NEGATIVES The 5th season felt a little padded and aimless at times to me. A lot of the fight scenes felt a little... saturday morning cartoon-ish? In comparison to something like Avatar the Last Airbender which had amazing fight choreography and stunning combat. I realize that combat was not the main focus, since Steven is all about talking through things and being defensive, but the series showed with Connie and Pearl that it could focus on some really impressive choreography and chose not to fairly often. The final conflict felt a little lackluster. I know it wasn't supposed to be a big fight sequence or anything, but still felt lackluster. Again, compared to something like Avatar TLA which had amazing final conflicts but ultimately had a pacifist character fight and win within that scope. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess the other thing that has me feeling a little underwhelmed is there was no resolution to the whole... galactic tyrants thing.
They literally destroy other planets to grow Gems. Whether or not they will continue that is swept under the rug, at least for now. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

My favorite moment from the episode was Steven's self-fusionThat bit was animated by Jaaaaames Baxter(the animator and also the horse). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Baxter_(animator) I remember seeing a rumor somewhere that the execs gave Rebecca Sugar an ultimatum over the wedding(because, unfortunately, two women getting married is still considered controversial in a lot of places CN airs its shows): if she didn't cut it, they wouldn't renew the show, so they had to resolve the show in what was left of the then-current episode order. You just have to love how devilishly cheeky it was that she switched the gender-coding on Ruby and Sapphire for the actual wedding scene, regardless. In any case, the ending definitely feels rushed, and the series never quite recovers from it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The movie helped add a bit more of a satisfying ending to the series I think... Like it's easy to understand why the original series went this direction but it felt a little anticlimactic. While it doesn't fix a lot of issues there (namely the build up of the diamonds), it sort of helped add an antagonist that had more of a presence which might've been one of the problems with the final season.

Yeah, the biggest flaw with the show is arguably that it ultimately brushes over the whole 'world destroying parasitic empire' thing.

IDK if it's controversial, but tbh I preferred Future's ending over Change Your Mind, it felt more fulfilling to me for some reason.
