Steven Universe Review: S2E23 - Steven's Birthday
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Steven spent half of his 14th birthday as a teenager and the other half as a baby, but at the end of the ordeal he came out with his very first facial hair! This was a good episode based around expectations and identity, and was also filled with great laughs. A solid continuation to Steven Bomb 4.
*Pearl sneaks up to Steven while he is sleeping and pulls out facial hair*
Pearl: SYMMETRYYYY!!!!!
Pearl and Death the kid should meet......
+Nimeera Lassiter she would definitely asked about his on symmetrical hair
Josh Wall She probably would XD
+shadowsta9 *PEARL*:YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. "SYMMETRIC" MEANS BOTH SIDES EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!
i totaly see her doing something like that X3
Even if the episode was predictable, IMO it made up for it with the trivia. We finally got Steven's age, we learned Connie is 12.75 years old, and we find out that Greg met Rose/the Crystal Gems when he was 22. We have confirmation that Steven does have romantic feelings for Connie (unless he doesn't fully understand what being the first man would mean). We see a little about the limits of shape shifting, and just so much. That's why I love SU; even in the weakest episodes, there's so much world-building.
That fucking ending you chose was perfect
Bmo's primary directive is to entertain a child. But Mo's son was likely "too old" for Bmo upon being built.
No mo never had a son
Forever young.
Steven HAS grown up. When steven and connie first met, she was much taller than him, but on this ep theyre the same size
if I remember sizes are relative
Steven's gotten slightly skinnier, also.
Hah, I noticed the head thing too!
I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who though something was off with those heads.!!
Maybe the "distortion of heads" was to note that his perspective was changing... This would make sense since the "mistake" only happens during the time he is streched, and it only happened to Connie and Amethyst who are characters equal or taller than Steven and during this sequence he was taller than them.
While this is the weakest of this Stevenbomb, it is still fantastic. That says a lot about this bomb.
+Calebite
SERIOUSLY.
+Uncivilized Elk This is my least favorite episode of the bomb. But in no way was it bad I still think it was a really good episode. This episode is in the top 15 episodes on my list even though it is last on my list for Stevenbomb. That is how good this Stevenbomb was. :)
+Blood Rangers Airsoft I agree
I feel like the head thing in part for Connie was an attempt at drawing out some form of neoteny, perhaps when storyboarding they felt like adding in the features later for contrast between Steven's "older" form and Connie, and it feels a bit odd when its not in alignment with earlier portions of the episode.
It was mentioned by Rebecca and the team that proportions for each character aren't set in stone, which is why the differences in proportion are so drastic as you had observed in the episode. You can actually observe this a lot in last year's final episodes, where in a squatting Peridot was actually much taller than her standing self and closer or equal to Pearl in height. What Rebecca and the crew did clarify is that they will be paying more attention to height ratios rather than individual character proportions. That said, Amethyst will always be slightly taller than Steven, Pearl will always be roughly a head over Amethyst, and Garnet will always be about twice as tall as Steven, etc. It is a cartoon after all, so no matter how much nitpickers nag, this spectrum of the show's presentation will forever be up to their creative discretion.
I noticed the bobble heads, the Estelle (Stella) album cover, among other things, and they all made me laugh. I thought Steven's comment about being first boy was cute. Steven wants to marry Connie. That's so adorable.
Didn't mention the HUGE reveal of steven being older than connie.
1:10 no he got less fat
The official title Steven would have, by the way, would be First Gentleman.
Oh, and this episode proves one thing:
Squaremom is best mom.
I noticed the head thing with Connie, it was very weird, but I missed the Amethyst one)
I still love that clip you chose for this video's ending, it's always perfect~
3:10 IT could be storyboarders
Honestly, I would continue my trend of long, essay-like comments, but I pretty much agree with everything you said. This was a nice, funny, cute-at-times episode. It wanted to say something, and it did.
Can't wait for your next review :D
+CrazyAnimators
I may start to miss your long essay-like comments then, considering how I had a total blast with the next three episodes, and any criticisms I might include (if I happen to at all) will be really minor and brief. Seriously, this Steven Bomb rocked.
+Uncivilized Elk Good sign then. Message Received can be easily misinterpreted as rushed and out of nowhere, so it's nice to see you understand the situation (I had to watch scenes multiple times to fully understand why Peridot did what she did).
+Uncivilized Elk I thought this Bomb was great too! Some people say it's the weakest, but... I just don't see it. There was so much world building! We learned about Garnet's past, got character insight on Steven & Connie, and even ended the Peridemption :D
And don't worry, I'm sure my comments will be back soon; we still have 3 more episodes, so I'm sure I'll have *something* to say lol
+CrazyAnimators People put 3 before this one? Opinions are weird.
First boy!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Steven you killed me! 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
"Is there more were that came from?"
That Bmo though😂😂
I honestly was not worried about Stevens aging as it was showed in the episode "so many birthdays" that his gem can alter his age so I assumed that the emotions Steven feels for Connie will allow him to she regularly. and this was hinted on after he and Connie bonded closer at the end and Steven "spontaneously grew a facial hair"
I didn't notice the head thing explicitly (though something did seem a little weird in those scenes) but your crazy explanation that Steven's body morphing was affecting those around him sounded like an awesome plot premise. Perhaps only to the degree that Steven's perception of them was warped instead of them physically mutating. I'm sure there's a way you could tie that as a metaphor to an interesting moral.
I noticed the change in proportions, too! What was that all about?! Lol at BMO😂 but I feel the same!
LOOOOOOOOOL, i dont recall bmo actually doing that in adventure time xD
"forever young". lol, O wonder if bmo will keep doing that when finns like 40.
They probably did it on purpose though (about the head size)
perfect ending for this video.
Forever Young
He killed me! Our ship is sailing you guys! He literally said that he was going to marry Connie!!! “First Boy Steven” #Stevonnie
This is more like a sneak peak to the future
Dam Steven-Your only 14 no need to start setteling down, sooner or latef I'm sure you'll be connie's first boy ;)
FOREVER YOUNG XDD
I noticed the dirty joke too, I was like, ">.> this is a kids show"
So what ? Kids can't get the joke.
Steven's size changed, and since comparing each others heights is the only way they have to follow the models things got crazy.
Wait what's with when greg was changing pages of Steven's pictures and 9 and then 11 So quick?! oh yeah 9/11
That ending tho
I'm anxious to see your review for Message received. I wanna know what you thought of yellow d's angry face.
He said he really liked it, and yes, I want to know what he thought of the face as well.
woah woah what episode of adventure time was that clip at the end? i do not remember that it was creepy
question. do you think Steven will start to grow with Connie because now he has a reference on how he should sorta look? his father being the man version on how he look, facial hair and such
Steven said he was going marry Connie.
your reviews should be featured in beachcitybugle
+GarredHATES
Thanks for the suggestion and support! First I've heard of BCB - I'll send them an email perhaps. If you'd like to recommend a video of mine to them as well that would be amazing!
Uncivilized Elk kk
i didnt even notice the animation errors.
Yea about post production.Look at message received.
It's season 3
0:51 Did you mean "compounded"?
+Cryogenicmonkey
Nope. One of the definitions of "confounded" when used as a verb is "to throw into increased confusion or disorder."
Compounded would work too but obviously that's not what I said.
Connie attraction to Steven being tall is weird ino
So have you watched all the episodes of the bomb, or are you watching as you review?
+Calebite
I watch an episode (or two) and then compose and record the review before watching the following episode (the editing follows later whenever I have time).
I'm about to finally watch "The Message" and "Log Date 7 15 12" right now. Like literally right now.
+Uncivilized Elk Have fun.
+Calebite
Holy shit the amount of fun I had! I think the last 3 episodes of SB4 would all go into a Top 10 episodes of all time if I were to make one this very moment. Geez what a blast that was!
+Uncivilized Elk Being used to you being an incredibly calm person, this is a somewhat hilarious comment. Welcome to being a fanboy. XD
For the record, I am extremely far from calm in real life. I may have periods of quiet solitude but it's rarely long before I break out into boisterous banter. Though if I'm engaging in analysis of anything, I guess I do become more composed temporarily.
That being said... just wait until you see the next review...
Steevonnie away!
Classic bmo
I don't get the dirty joke
You're either too young or are just really stupid
+BlayAndHowtie I'm 13 and i have a IQ of 141 so neither is right
BlayAndHowlie i mean
shes referring to pubic hair (hair below the belt)
Dem thanks
Please check the chat on what gem saved William Dewey because I have a theory on what gem the temple is based on and please somebody if they understand it make a video about it
*forever young!*
*never old!*
Jk
the heads are difrent becose difrent people drew the storybords.
+Dominykas Andrutis Sure, but usually they try harder to keep characters more on model unless they are making a significant facial expression. The big heads just looked bad, period.
Yea that's true
hey
#inappropriateAmethystIsBestAmethsyt
Honestly, I really hated this Episode, since Connie was a total and hateable jerk for causing all the trouble to the episode and she doesn't even apologize to Steven at the end, and why did Steven had to do all those dumb and Pointless stuff. Also, I think Steven knew he was a baby since he had expressions of like "Oh GOSH, IM A BABY!" and for dumb reasons, The Gems and Greg thought he didn't knew that because they are all ******g idiots,and at least Amethyst and later on Connie did knew about Steven knowing he has been turned into a baby. Also, The entire thing about Steven growing up whenever he wants was really confusing.
First
Also you did great with this one
What episode of AT was that last scene from?
+iamabigfatbutt It's the short "All's Well that Rats Swell."
