Everything Wrong With Mr. Greg In Almost 7 & A Half Minutes (Steven Universe)

[@lukebrown5395]

I like how the colors in both of you represent the diamonds. Blue- Pearl, Yellow- Greg, and Pink- Steven. It really foreshadows yellow and blues reactions to losing Pink Diamond.

[@axelnilsson5124]

Kinda makes me wonder how long they planned out the Pink Diamond plotline

[@M0no3hr0me]

@@axelnilsson5124 they had planned it before they even started airing the show.

@@M0no3hr0me sometimes it feels like they make it up as they go like with the hieroglyphs in serious Steven

[@nateclone3828]

I find it funny that what we ended up getting for the animation for It's Over Isn't It was so good because they literally had to reanimate it because Pearl's VA went so hard on the lyrics. I honestly want to see what it initially looked like before they realize this was supposed to be an important episode

[@pouncelygrin6699]

pffft what? now that's a surprising fact indeed xD

[@WeirdWonderful]

Steven pointing to what is essentially the lifeless corpse of his mother REALLY made things awkward there.

[@Lefty7788tinkatolli]

I always found it so funny how Pearl was surprised Greg was awake after "It's Over Isn't It". She was literally singing to the heavens for several minutes just a few feet away from his bed!

[@mmmmricher7258]

“It’s not like you’re chained to the gems at all times and you’ll be punished for being away from them”. That’s no joke, the entire show. It’s just the punishment isn’t from the gems, but from every monster, enemy gem, etc.

[@devinsauls9137]

Empire City is an actual stage from Sonic Unleashed. Considering Amethyst and Jasper both do the Spin Dash as well it doesn't surprise me

[@tuxedobird]

As a certified Greg fan, this is one of my favourite episodes

[@themeechanic]

*"and don't forget about mom"* MADE IT REALLY AWKWARD.

[@josiahtheawkward6008]

5:55 YES. YES. THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED AND IT WAS MY FAVORITE FOR YEARS.

[@themilesmorales1610]

I feel like the one thing that could've fixed the last line was after "she always did what she wanted" they could've said "no matter how little she knew"

[@yonatanhoresh2695]

I feel like the "Always did what she wanted" line was an example of them (especially Pearl) putting aside their bad blood and instead bonding over their shared memories of Rose I mean that was the whole point of the song.

[@exo_eve7575]

Also I really don't think it was implying to have fixed everything. It was more of a way of saying they are talking again and actively beginning to rebuild a positive relationship.

[@andalilbitqueer]

personally, i think it makes more sense as them realizing that Rose always ignored their emotions, and Pearl realizing that Greg wasn't the one who put her in her state of, trauma.

[@cienciandre]

Of course they're bonding over their shared memories, the problem is what memory they're bonding over. "She always did what she wanted" is such a generic line, it's almost the same as "She used to blink her eyes" or "When she spoke, her lips moved" Like... ?

[@yonatanhoresh2695]

@@cienciandre You sure? That's literally THE thing that separates her from her sisters and kickstarts the show

[@cienciandre]

@@yonatanhoresh2695 If you compare her to her genocide perfectionist sisters/moms then yes, but this is Greg and Pearl bonding. In their context, especially in Greg's context, which is a human like us, someone just doing what they want isn't supposed to be something special

[@TheNoobster]

loved the text to speech singing for the outro 😭

[@sammypierce6079]

3:00 and in future, they calle it pupcopter...

[@edmpunkfire7793]

Also, Sonic Unleashed called, it says it wants its NY reference back (Empire City seems like New York in this, and Sonic Unleashed did that first with Skyscraper Scamper in Empire City, which is based off New York

[@Skrily]

Greg's beard was actually the same at 6:22, checked via drawing software. (Meaning the sin tally is actually 13)

[@name-od8yh]

5:10 the way Pearl dance was fucking hilarious

[@nationalinstituteofcheese3012]

Her feet just rotating always felt jarring

[@erentoraman2663]

I'm pretty sure he taped the commercial when it appeared on tv

[@madycartoonlover3383]

This Character is my favorite because of this scene 😂 4:10

[@KeroKeroGrips12]

2:18 this is the nitpicks of the nitpicks 😂😂 also since this show takes place in a different universe and there are offbrand items comparing to real life (like Stevens GameCube-64) it’s probably just a different type of game boy Edit: fuck this was supposed to be for the previous episode but KZbin hit a backflip and didn’t land it so it glitches my shit 😂

[@WeirdWonderful]

@1:40 In Future, we find out Steven doesn't even know how grades (as in classes) work. He definitely did not get a proper education.

[@xavierrivera3407]

To be fair Stevens knowledge on things like school and just earth stuff in general out side of the basics is kinda inconsistent.

[@nationalinstituteofcheese3012]

When I first watched this episode as a little kid, I really thought it was a friend being jealous her bestie chose her bf over her. Funny how you only pick up on Pearl’s affection towards PD/Rose when you’re older

[@KeroKeroGrips12]

0:23 he had this tape very early on back when he was working with him. Also why would Marty just randomly give Greg a old ass VHS of a random commercial?

[@Robin280497]

Pearl and Pink Steven: SHE'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

[@Sparxkles]

I'm surprised there was no sin for the fact that every staff in the hotel was an exact copy of each other

[@fireytehspartan]

I'VE BEEN EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE FOR SO LONG

[@KeroKeroGrips12]

Now that i know who SS1014 is and I found him *after* the original 96 EWW videos it’s Awsome I’m “apart” of the main community and it’s fun to be like “HOLY SHIT A NEW EVERYTHING WRONG WITH VIDEO” thanks 🙏

[@agoodduck]

Is that tomodachi life singing at the end

[@Supersonic1014]

No, it's Bonzi Buddy.

[@kevinagripa3991]

So close to being 100 everything wrong with Steven universe videos

[@SHSLRuby]

You are fundamentally wrong about the spinning shot on Pearl, it's WAY harder to animate her body consistently moving WHILE the camera is rotating and having it look good than it is to simply animate her movement on the glass. You can still dislike it but it was definitely not done to take a break from anything, because it's simply a harder thing to animate.

[@TfameYT]

I love every song in this episode, but empire city makes me laugh Everytime and I love it(even though it is ass)

[@jaycrews4034]

Lol I miss this show so much.

[@diamondbutterfly9034]

And let's bring Pearl subtract five sin for that

[@moopymeebloopy456]

i have an extra sin to add Empire City is obviously referencing New York City but in the song Greg mentions Brooklyn and the Bowery which are real places in NYC so at that point just call it NYC if thats what you're talking about or just don't mention it at all

[@ivolinder6837]

Isn’t it a sin when Steven plays the piano yeah it’s unlikely he ever learned how to use the piano

[@bisexualsatanictrainwreck]

Pearl or Connie could have taught him

[@xavierrivera3407]

It’s possible that he was simply taught but rarely gets to use that skill due to a preference to his ukulele or simply not having a piano regularly available near home.

[@PickleKing2007]

Yeah at 2:32 that line really felt out of character for Steven

[@xavierrivera3407]

Even ignoring how Pearl and Greg feel about that, Steven wouldn’t say somthing like that because of how he feels about that. Already going through an identity crisis, don’t need to be making it worse with jokes like that.

[@KeroKeroGrips12]

4:04 bars

[@sweetea742]

I thought this was going to be about why greg is a bad character at first

[@Finn_the_Cat]

There's no way Greg got ten million just like that their has to be another answer, wait, it you remove the rest of his hair on his head, put on a black hat and give him glases, *gasp* it's Heisenberg *earrape breaking bad theme plays* Also you'd think he could afford a tupee to cover his baldness if he has money to burn but whatever

[@BlueBladerBot]

Herp derp.

5:30 which episode was that again?

[@superlarrybros4004]

S1 E42 Winter forecast

Do you have a backup of eww Say Uncle?

[@loveschuyler4604]

the movie had real reasonable songs to me if you really listen to the lyrics and not the placement of the songs

[@loveschuyler4604]

considering they were being rushed to finish up the series cs they were getting cancelled

[@edmpunkfire7793]

Or the eyebrow went up to where his hair is

[@Cleo-12]

that last sin was cringe!!! i liked that sentence. it also has to do with... everything else rose did. not only relationships

Why do you hate Steven Universe so much :(

[@find_chideva]

“This video is a combination of both criticism against SU, as well as humor meant more to poke fun at the show and not be as serious. It is up to your ability as the viewer to be able to distinguish between the two.”

[@gabrielcruz3047]

Empire City is far better in spanish

[@mcscrooge1965]

I feel that this might be a hot take but this episode is okay, it might even be good, but it isn’t really my favorite episode ever. I don’t particularly remember any of the songs from the episode, or most of the things that happened during the episode before watching this video, and the way Greg and Pearl “resolved” their relationship was off by just addressing the problem. Other than that, the episode is fairly harmless to me and I feel that I pissed off a lot of people.

[@Wildcatevdog]

6:32 extremely petty

[@thatrandomredengine9430]

It’s odd how you love Steven Universe when there are so many fundamental problems that YOU YOURSELF point out. I’m not saying you can’t love this series for what it does do right, but when there are multiple series, past, present, and most likely future, that are doing what Steven Universe is doing a hundred times better, it sorta odd this is your favorite animated series of all time. Especially with how much of a train wreck the show became after season 3.

[@SoməøneXD]

you can love a piece of media while still acknowledging its flaws if anything that just shows even more care for a show because you analyze everything so much that you can see both the things that make no sense and all of the great points too plus it's a kid's show on CN and this series is just a parody of cinema sins

[@thatrandomredengine9430]

@@SoməøneXD I can spot three gaping flaws with your argument. #1. So by acknowledging a piece of medias flaws, it shows how much you care about it because you analyze it. That mean when anyone goes off on how bad Velma, or High Guardian spice, or modern Star Wars, that means we love these piles of garbage? If it’s a remake or a new installment in a series, we complain about the flaws because we love what came before, not because we care about what’s being shoved in our faces. #2. “It’s a kids show on CN” …I don’t think you know how to distinguish between good and bad cartoons. Powerpuff Girls, the original Teen Titans, Ben 10, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball, Code name kids next door, Samurai Jack, Ok Ko, We Bear Bears, Chowder, Flap Jack, Clarance, Uncle Grandpa, etc. All of these series are CN shows, but unlike Steven Universe, they are all vastly better then the show in nearly every way. Better animation, voice acting, storytelling, better coherence plots, some with even better emotional moments. Shut up. #3. This series being a parody is clearly not the case since a lot of his criticism is serious. Maybe back then, but this is a recent episode.
