k caught up on everything

Ok so here are my thoughts, all of the episodes this week were done masterfully, I found the animation a bit more refined, but that could just be me?

Gem Hunt: Gem Hunt was honestly extremely beautiful to look at. Connie is getting a bit more character development which is always a great thing. I found Pearl quite amusing. Jasper was finally set up as a big bad. I feel like, since Peridot has been redeemed, there hasn't really been a big tangible villain, we obviously have/had the Cluster and Yellow Diamond as huge series spanning villains, but like I said, the closest thing to a recurring big bad was Peridot until she became Perifect (kill me). RATING: 9/10

Crack the Whip: Crack the Whip is probably the funnest SU ep ever made. Its easily in my top 5 eps. But thats not the only thing I liked about this extremely amazing episode. The Jasper/Amethyst fight was brutal af. I LOVED it. Amethyst's new outfit is lit. RATING: 9/10

Steven vs. Amethyst: Ok, so here is where this week puts me off a bit. I expected Amethyst to go corrupted. Thats not the show's fault. Its mostly mine and to an extent, the fandom's fault. I mean, everyone nowadays NEEDS lore. People don't want smaller stories. They want bigger and better. I can't blame them. Honestly, it made sense that Amethyst didn't go corrupt. Amethyst has been an extremely flawed character from the start and she knows that. This episode made great use of that. The way Steven reacts to how Amethyst thinks Steven was the worst Crystal Gem felt real. Steven was genuinely sad as to how much he cared about her and this is how she thinks about him. RATING: 8.5/10

Bismuth: Ok, I can't add a lot more praise to whats already been said about this masterpiece of an episode. Except for the fact, how no one mentioned the beautiful and mesmerising af "title card sequence" like seriously? RATING: 10/10
