LET IT OUT PEARL! *Steven Universe* Season 3 Episodes 8-10 FIRST TIME REACTION Mr. Greg The New Lars

[@DonnaBump]

Well, it's difficult for her to move on because Gems don't die often. Time is also different to gems and for her 14 years is nothing; a blink of an eye. 14 years might not be enough to grieve for even a human.

[@joolzian2510]

And without spoiling anything, the nature of Rose and Pearls relationship is a lot more complicated

[@cream7226]

pearl still can't move on from what she was made for, to serve their master forever. Now that rose is gone, even though so much time has passed and looks like she is healing, she ultimately fails to do so because she is a pearl

[@cream7226]

"why can't I move on" she probably forgot her purpose of existing

[@wtimmins]

The voice of Pearl is Deedee Magno, an actress broadway singer. From what I understand It's Over, Isn't It wasn't originally intended to be so dramatic, but she brought such energy and verve to the song they changed things to suit it.

[@ikirbeeburgr]

I think it was they had to re animate the scene to match her energy

[@JorikDz]

I read deedee mango😔🤙🏻

[@wilhelmhedin8845]

That's so cool.

[@francescawhite4166]

Bruh the love of her life chose someone else after she loved her for thousands of years and then she immediately DIED and Pearl was left to take care of her son, have some more compassion 😂😭

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Lmao sometimes I forget gems are that old 😂

[@thedingdongsunshinefuture]

Man, Greg gets a bunch of money and he’s like “Spend it on *myself* ?? Pffft. No I’m gonna spend in on my son. Steven wants to go to college? Or take online courses? Now he can! My son wants to go on a vacation? Whatever makes him happy!”

[@KitsuQuinGamingTTV]

Fun fact: the episode Mr. Greg was written right after the first time Cartoon Network discussed making the movie with Rebecca Sugar, and she used this episode to kinda test the waters on writing a musical! There's also an episode in season 5 that was her "practice" for writing an ensemble song.

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Okay so now I know that the movie is a musical interesting 🤔

[@pieflower6419]

I never thought I'd laugh while singing It's Over Isn't It, but the Peter Griffin version made me chuckle at almost every line 😂

[@caitrose2198]

a lot of people hate pearl in this part of the show, but cut the woman some slack, if I fumbled a BBW and lost her to a soundcloud rapper I would take a long time to get over it too

[@SputnikSpyglass]

😭😭

[@rue...whenwasthis]

the realest comment ever

[@ananon3560]

Another fun fact! Peridot has a real twitter account that tweeted in-time to match some events from the show. Also Ronaldo has a Tumblr blog that also posted in relation to some of his appearances as well. I wouldn't check them out rn because spoilers, but it is cool that the show runners created some real accounts

*[Here it is! The best Pearl episode!]*

[@bmoak]

In the episode where Steven and Amethyst meet Vidalia, you an see wedding pictures of a young Yellowtail on the fridge when they eating dinner. With no hat and no beard, he is the spitting image of Onion. Same head shape, same face, and same hair. Also, in the flashback episode when Greg meets Rose, Vidalia and Marty were getting busy in the back of Greg's van.

[@JenABlue-ed1bw]

Also in the episode where Steven and Amethyst met Vidalia, Amethyst asked if Vidalia still hung out with "farty Marty" and she said no.

[@jjsstikbotvideos4421]

@@JenABlue-ed1bwYeah and called him a loser. He left her when Sour Cream was just a baby

[@padparadscha9921]

So peridot’s power isn’t general telekinesis, it’s specifically only for metal so it’s ferrokinisis

[@SputnikSpyglass]

So she's magneto. Got it!

[@GothicccIndie96]

There's a theory that's pretty well supported in the show that Lars is trans and that's why he reacts the way he does in this episode. Why he never wears the heart gauges, how he's concerned with the physical aspect of Steven possessing him rather than anything else, and his parents reaction to him asking "who's Laramy?" And the moms concern about messing it up. Laramy is a "girls name" and Lars is not. There's obviously more hints in the show but this episode really solidified the theory.

[@bnuuuyy]

YESSSS FINALLY SOMEONE COMMENTED ABOUT IT THANK YOU!!!! It's funny bc I'm a trans guy and I absolutely HATED lars when i was still an egg, but now that I'm out and I rewatched the show, he's gotta be one of the most relatable characters to me! (and one of my favourites!!) I even tried doing some research about it and I found that "master document" Tumblr post with every evidence/hints of Lars being trans and recontextualizing some episodes with these theories! I think that maybe if SU came out today or in a time where people are more accepting towards trans representation, maybe there would be an episode or plot point about Lars' trans experience, but oh well I can dream!

[@kayla8402]

@@bnuuuyy You just made me compare to Barney in Dead End, and yeah no that fits perfectly, both are very similar.

[@bnuuuyy]

@@kayla8402 god Barney was so relatable too.. that scene where his grandma is being disrespectful towards him and his parents just.. stand there and do nothing too retabale honestly

[@jjsstikbotvideos4421]

Pearl is of course still not over it because Rose died only 14 years ago. Put yourself in her shoes. You’re a practically immortal gem who’s thousands of years old. You’ve been in love with someone and had a very strong connection with them for thousands of years as well. And she died, which doesn’t happen often with gems, and has never happened in the traumatic and confusing circumstance that it did. But most importantly, 14 years for a millennia old gem is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. She’s understandably still grieving because it felt like it happened just yesterday. And now like she said “now I’ve got to be there for her son.” she’s raising her son now. Her son who she had with the person she chose instead of her, and the reason she died from. It’s rough. I feel for both of them, because I can understand why Pearl still can’t move on. And I can also understand Greg because it’s not his fault, and he’s trying to get along with her. Greg was able to grieve better about Rose’s death because 14 years feels way longer for a human than for a gem. He also better understands raising a child and I believe that he’s not fully over it, he just hides his emotions better than Pearl, and comes off as chill, meanwhile Pearl bottles hers up until she explodes and also takes her anger out in small jabs at him. Like he said, it was selfish for him to stay while he knew how she felt about her, but it still wasn’t really his fault. Things were understandably rough for them. Happy they patched things up this episode.

[@wtimmins]

It's Over, Isn't It is not just one of my favorite songs of Steven Universe, it's one of my favorite songs, period.

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Agreed! Great vocal performance by Pearl's VA as well.

[@wilhelmhedin8845]

Yay! You did watch Mr Greg together! 😊 "Isn't it over" is still so emotionally strong. Heartstrings strung. ❤

[@Barnaby71]

that peridot twitter was actually real 🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure Sadie hums it while working in a later episode- only caught it on a rewatch! Love the details in this series 😂

[@coffeeadaykeepsthesleepaway]

greg is still uber rich, that barely put a dent in it

[@JuFated]

Dont worry, the trip didnt cost them 10M xD. Greg still has a lot left and he probably only reacted that way because well it was all still expansive esp for a new millionaire like him xD/.

[@danielmilcent9654]

It's over isn't it being acapella somehow made it even better🥲

[@HTom-dn2vp]

10:36 I think the bigger deal is that gems are immortal in a way, so, even if she did fall in love again, supposedly with that human girl from the roller ring, she’d only have a human partner for about 40 or so years😅😭(so I can see her reasoning for wanting to be with rose,since she’d literally just live with her forever but I do think Pearl was being selfish Don’t get me wrong)

Omg I just remembered at the time peridot had a real twitter account and we would follow it waiting for clues for future episodes

[@ananon3560]

I literally forgot that the new Lars happened because it's one I skip every time. It makes me so uncomfortable, hate body swap episodes and this is one of the few times Steven's helpfulness crosses the line into literally not your business stop

[@cream7226]

but teaches us never to fuck in their business lol look how depressed lars was after that whole stuff we never want that happening to us or our friends

[@SianiLane]

So in the elementary school where I used to teach we did this yearly program where this educational group would bring animals into the classroom and the kids got to meet them, and pet some of them, and one year they brought a sloth! It was just as cute and slow and personable as you might think, but their fur is very stiff and wiry.

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Ooh that sounds so fun! I'd love to meet a sloth in person.

I know i'm late but the style of music in Mr. Greg is a type of old style jazz lounge music I believe.

Yessss I've been waiting for this one 💫🙈

[@Ari.x22]

WOWWW so close to 3k, let's gooo

[@nataliawegiel5558]

I feel like Pearl needs to please someone even though shes a free pearl. I cant say whether or not she was actually in love with rose or saw her as her owner. Even now she tries to please Garnet, especially when she donks up.

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Yeah pearl has some heavy people pleasing tendencies!

Since Sput knows the truth about rose and pink, I would like him to take into account the colors that Greg and Pearls took when they dance and are sincere with each other.

Ah, yes. SEASON 2 You know what we were doing in season 2?

Its bc pearl love rose for 5000 year even longer they been there together in war so i understand why pearl can't move on that easy

[@crystal_wolfy2172]

I love the cute pupper so much

[@miguelavendano8818]

My theory is that Sadie is a little person and Lars is self conscious about being seen with her.

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Interesting 🤔 now that I think about it she is pretty short!

Like the come up Greg had from Keystone Motel to Mr Greg is amazing good job Greg

[@xmant8842]

Technically, peridot's power isnt telekinesis. It's more like magnokineses

The reason all of them have great pipes is because that is one of the requirements Rebecca Sugar has when she cast the voice actors.
