Steven Universe Season 3 Episode 1 & 2 Group Reaction | Super Watermelon Island / Gem Drill

[@cradle2gravedirtball]

I love that Steven taught Peridot to say “wow thanks” when she gets a gift from someone, and that him saying “I love you, Peridot” is a gift to her 🥹💕 one of my favorite recurring lines

[@BrianRobles]

I love how her "wow thanks" lines progressively go from sarcastic to genuine as the series progresses

[@nk-dc5gc]

i don't think they're sarcastic in the beginning. stephen thaught her and she used the exact same intonation, mimicking what he taught her. :) later she probably noticed that there were other ways, so she became more flexible - also later she might have gotten the concept more and started saying it when the emotion of gratitude appeared (which she probably needed to identify first, through time), thus making it sound "genuine" to us - cuz she was now saying it tied to the emotion, not tied to the societal convention/custom Stephen taught her! ^.^

[@williamzinedineh]

i think the weirdest part about this show is that it managed to make a literal corpse pile the size of new york that beautiful

[@baraxor]

The Watermelon Stevens fighting Malachite will always make me think of Greg's words in The Return: "Gems were destroyed, and people too." While the Crystal Gem Rebellion was mostly Gem on Gem, it would not surprise me to learn that some humans also fought alongside Rose to protect their world. "And nothing of value was lost"...I've heard that before on reactions to Jasper's disappearance!

[@alissondaniel1650]

It seems they already hate Jasper in every way, especially the H man. If they already hate her now, imagine later...

[@TRASHMAGICCK]

H man? Who do ya mean?​@@alissondaniel1650

[@Chaos3300]

But that’s her whole character arc she’s already bad and then she gets worse but it’s never too late to change and get better tho some people just take longer than others

[@yourvalentine3726]

​@Chaos3300 i think it's perspective she isn't bad she is an antagonist though same as Pdot her devotion for yellow time was the same as the crystal gems devotion to rose but because they are the antagonist it feel different.

[@bad-girl-coventhe-owl-club1119]

Ah, season 3, easily my favorite season of this show by far. That Malachite vs Alexandrite fight is so awesome, best anime fight. Honestly the most insane thing is, that Jasper was only able to take over, because Lapis was finally tired. Just shows how strong Lapis is.

[@_cran]

It's far from the best fights but uh agreed about everything else

[@azeTrom17]

Yeah Steven universe is my favorite show for nostalgia reasons but did you really just say "best anime fight" about it lol

[@gebdemedici]

​@@_cranI mean Steven doesn't have a TON of big fights like that one. Just two massive fussions flexing their full range of abilities on each other, I think it's one of the best fights of the show. Spoilers ahead I would only put Pink Steven vs Jasper above it, and also every fight including Stevonnie is top tier. Garnet vs Jasper and Amethyst vs Pearl are on a different tier just because of narrative greatness.

[@_cran]

@@gebdemedici It might be one of bests in the show but Im saying its not an anime and comparing to anime its not even a top tier. Also don't forget blue diamond vs crystal gems, it was a good one

[@thejaguarback]

it didn't hit me until my most recent rewatch, but watching mirror/ocean gem, i was like....wait....lapis is CRACKED. her gem is CRACKED. we saw what a crack did to amethyst in less than a day, but lapis was cracked and put in the mirror and once she was out, she remained fully formed and could use most of her powers and fight and beat the gems. like. that's insane. but knowing that a lapis is meant to terraform makes it make a lot more sense; to actually terraform, you have to be crazy powerful, so lapis is clearly a strain of gem that is OP as fuck.

[@wingedbluj1674]

Super Watermelon Island is one of my favorite episodes. Alexandrite using Opal, Sugilite, and Sardonyx's weapons all back to back was awesome.

[@elijahsmall5873]

She also used amethyst’s for a quick moment.

[@ScapeVEVO]

@@elijahsmall5873 Pearl's spear on it's own too, only one missing was Garnet's gauntlet, which I think when she pulled Malachite towards them and punched her before using the hammer would've been the perfect moment for it

[@justdan9264]

But it's kinda disappointing that we didn't get to see Alexandrite's fusion weapon

[@donovan802]

Peridot: “LIAR!” 😂💚

[@SigmaGuardian66]

That use the d-pad line was gold.

[@Silacide]

9:37 Steven Universe low key predicting the horrible decision of a billionair that wanted to visit the Titanic 💀

[@eithnedoyle6007]

That's what I was thinking lmao

[@tudeslildude]

Tasteful, you know people died right? Btw up-voted

[@donovan802]

Alexandrite is such a beast! Intimidating, versatile, and profound with words.

[@tritiumH3]

* I really like how they ended the last season and started this one. The last season gave us the message "regardless of the giant anime fights, this show is about peace and love on the planet Earth." This season starts with the message, "also, yes, giant anime fights." * It kind of bothers me how casually they kill of watermelon Stevens. Despite the fact that they don't talk, the show makes it clear that they have thoughts and feelings, fears and aspirations. And then they're killed off for comedy. It's just a little odd. * A neat callback to last season: Steven taught Peridot that when someone gives you a gift, you say "wow, thanks!" She said that in the second episode. What was the gift Steven gave her? Love!

[@burrslayerdriftts2108]

Fun fact from spanish dub Both alexadrite and Malachite have the same voice actress ,Which make the voice of Jasper,So its kinda funny bcs she is basically fighting against herself 😂

[@whalexxro1354]

Gem Drill really shows how powerful Steven is, he was capable of hearing each and every voice of the shards that formed the Cluster, and this is not the last time we're gonna see Steven using this power, just saying

[@ultima1594]

I love the detail that unstable fusions don’t have their own voice, Alexandrite rarely does since it’s four gems trying to coordinate, and Malachite never does because they are so toxic.

[@ConTheBeast]

This is sadly when the show writers start to get rushed by the network and they got to rush through climaxes

[@stancinatti8198]

Facts missed out on so much good stuff including fusions

[@dannybob42]

Malachite being able to beat Alexandrite in single combat shows just how strong Lapis is, she has been holding that back all this time

[@metaridley2911]

Cluster/Jasper fusion sounds _terrifying._ Just a million or so fragmented consciousnesses forced to action by Jasper's like a hive mind, ripping Earth's crust apart and destroying everything in her way.

[@boardtoonsguy]

Steven is a very compassionate person and his powers r tied to his emotions. So it's no wonder that 1 of those powers is being able to enter the mind of others to communicate. The cluster is just a bunch of people that want to return their life, they seek someone's company just to feel alive again. Andd Steven just showed them alternative way to do that. And I think that's beautiful.

[@duganlamkin6709]

Out of the gems, Peridot is my two favorites. (Peridot and Amethyst) She went from being a homeworld villian to a earth hero. Some of her lines are the best, as she is using her 'logic' to define things on earth. Steven is coming into his own, no longer some helpless baby who is just in the way to a gem of his own. I like how all the characters evolve and change. None of them stayed the same, regardless if it is a main character or a minor one. Even Sadie, Lars, Reynaldo and the other background townsfolk have matured/changed.

[@yutarokida]

I love how the shards are like "want to", "need to". I imagine how our cells work to a primordial level, they are not exactly "alive" but they are build with instructions they "need" to do. And that's how also bad things can happen when those instructions even that are not evil, they just keep doing their function, forming cancers and tumors. The cloister just want to do what it's pieces are designed to: create a sentient gem, it doesn't know is destroying a planet in the process, it just doing what it "needs" to do.

[@fanaticalistic]

The watermelon couple at 1:14 reappears for the battle at 4:40 (not shown because of editing) with the mother going off for war and the father melon staying behind. I find it not just funny, but interesting in how Steven's life that would be the norm for him, the gems go off for battle but his father is usually avoident of gem fights.

[@abaddonarts1129]

Its so wild watching the show again through the reactions, because I can spot a lot of things that were hinted at well beforehand. This show only gets better and better!

[@actionturnip395]

Alternating between Sugilite’s flail, Sardonyx’s hammer, and Opal’s bow in one big combo to finish the fight sends chills every time. I also like how they give full focus to the cluster/peridot redemption plot line for so many uninterrupted episodes that it’s easy to nearly forget about Alexandrite… the Earth’s second biggest threat.

[@DmanDmythDlegend]

9:37. Man Steven Universe predicted the Titanic Submersible accident.

[@rpgrage7711]

YEAH I really like super watermelon island and the alexandrite fight is so cool and the cluster is such a unique concept and I love how it's executed

[@OtomostheCrazy]

Gotta love watching the transition from “I hate Peridot!” to “I love Peridot!” Really brings me back…

[@purpleirken1529]

These episodes are one of my favourites. They made me feel as panicked as Steven was when he started hyperventilating O_O

[@Peridot5xg]

*[The world is saved!]*

[@ColinTedford]

About Steven being able to connect to the Cluster: I think when gems fuse it creates a sort of "fusion space" that Steven can access thru his dreams - so far in his dreams he has connected with Malachite and the Cluster, and both are depicted as a sort of space where individuals can interact (possibly it's not literal but the show has to convey things somehow). Maybe unstable fusions leave more gaps that make it easier for Steven to get in. Altho the Cluster hadn't fused yet…but they were right on the verge. and we're already physically fused.

[@Cassprite]

Using the N64 Controller in the drill sure hits different in 2023 💀

[@pamelalejeune2424]

The watermelon Stevens just kind of form their own little society on that island. Steven had nothing to do with it.

[@elijahsmall5873]

And I don’t think many people know this, but the statue they worship in their little town is actually Baby Melon who helped to stop all the violent fighting in the episode they first appeared in by sacrificing himself, so I guess the Watermelon Stevens sacrifice other melons in his honor.

[@b3yourself91]

I betcha never though watermelon Steven would make a comeback

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

- When the Watermelon Stevens attack Malachite is like the Lilliputians from Gulliver's Travels, but earlier whey they were sacrificing others to Malachite may be a reference to the myth of Perseus - When Steven enters The Cluster's mind the floor of the drill seems to dissolve under his feet and reappear is very similar to a scene from the film called Contact

[@Altareblack]

Man I forget how uncomfortable it was to see Steven connected to the cluster, and seeing Ruff's face brought me to that exact moment hahahahaha This new season is going to leave you speechless, I look forward to your next reaction

[@Kelvin_D_Dragneel]

Now Thats how you start a new season

[@crown4212]

oh the n64 controller did not age well...

[@justinpehala2740]

Gem fusions always have the gems placed where thr base gems had them so pearl and garnet fusing would have a gem on the forehead and one on each hand, the weapons each fusion uses is also a combination of the weapons thr base gems use, pearl and amethyst use a spear and whip and their fusion opal uses a bow, -the bowstring being amethyst whip and the front part being pearls spear 🥰

[@gatokawaii3996]

11:50 This is the saddest and most wholesome moment I seen in a cartoon 😢

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Huh, you actually brought some interesting ideas here. What If this really were just going to be the Steven and Peridot Show throughout all of Season 3(at least)? Also, What If Jasper Fused with the Cluster? Anyway, i guess it’s from here on out where we no longer get to see the Gem Mutants again, which still makes me wonder what happened to them?

[@slaughterinthespotlight1669]

They do indeed have a very lovely community

[@gerardovanced3983]

easily the best season of all steven universe, I really happy to see yours reactions

[@herodaresfire4512]

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Welcome to the Two Episodes that I think should’ve actually been the Season 2 Finale and is there by considering them as such, So, Welcome to the Official Season Two Finale, that includes the conclusion to the Malachite Arc and the Cluster Arc, From here on out, a New Era of this Show begins.

[@niarahancock4739]

Episode 2 makes so much sense now

[@josephdavis9234]

[@HisInfernalMajesty27]

4:52 Malachite thinks she won, and she could have been right... All would've been lost for the Crystal Gems, if Steven didn't use his watermelon buddies to help😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂In all due seriousness, it was noble and nice to follow their safety instructions as well as help them distract Malachite for enough time for the Crystal Gems to get free

Eyes on my homework (Yo commenters, should I write a call for proposals for gene editing FFI or FOP? i.e. fatal familial insomnia or the thing that turns your tissue into bones Actually you guys got it quickly and it wasn't as awkward 12:40 it's actually interesting (and makes sense) that they retain their powers and speech, since their bodies are projections, so they _are_ fine 13:22 she would have a far way to go 14:22 ...now I'm curious about the speculations that happened after

[@waltermoran9344]

Im so waiting for Mr Greg

[@mikemabanag2717]

SPOILERS FOR THEIR REACTIONS How does the upper left dude kind of knows what would happen?? Similarly to season 5 where before Rose gets revealed as PINK DIAMOND like the episode where garnet explain the not so true anymore story of rose to the off colors the upper left dude was already thinking that rose is pink I don't believe he even said why he thinks that... Tho I kinda believe him for thinking that even before the reveal since people where already think rose was Pink BUT NOW THAT I SEEN THIS REACTION where we suddenly said that that "ohh Steven might be.. he's gonna bubble the whole things... Idk how but" it's just suspicious to me.. I might be overthinking it but it's just so hard to believe...
