I really enjoyed it. Bonus that it ended while it was good.

spicy hot take

It's a better sci-fi show than Rick and Morty

    Spending the rest of their natural lives fixing the problems they caused is a good compromise

      I agree, but there was a whole struggle session back in the day calling rebecca sugar a fascist sympathizer or whatever. I'm glad we're not worried about that any more

        Me too. Was worried I ya were gonna come at me. I shit post, not struggle session. I saw the argument, and agree, that the show implies intelligent life is rare, to the point humans were the first they encountered. So, while bad, they didn't do a galaxy of genocide of intelligent life. That's better, right?

        I felt like the show didnt do a good enough job in showing that as a compromise with power.

        They should have considered shattering them and considered the lives that would have cost.

        Its just to facile to have it wrap up into a clean happy ending. I would rather have seen a guillotine. However a protracted truth and reconciliation is the factually best ending the show could have.

          They do have a scene where steven tries to shatter white, and ends up not doing it. But anyway, I've learned to accept that Steven universe isnt a Marxist show, and its emphasis on pacifism definetly goes too far, but that's okay.

            There should be one gem that they do just have to shatter. Not jasper, but one of the new rubys would have been good. Just one though. The show is better off without that grimdark element but I agree with you.
