[Mod] HEY ALL!! Here’s your regular reminder to NOT SPOIL anything for future Steven episodes. Mods will be removing blatant spoilers and anything alluding heavily to future events. Fake spoilers are always welcome
I get a big laugh when Pearl shuts the door in Connie's face and then just stands there staring at her through the screen until Garnet pulls her away, like "Stop making it weird."
13:29 it's funny that's when I realized Steven was really strong, he activated an airbag by punching it two episodes ago but it was lifting a skinny teenager that made me realize Steven has some low grade super strength.
Idk if it can even be called “low-grade” like he has strength feats by the end of the series that put him well beyond characters like Luke Cage or colossus. And then *SPOILERS BEYOND* they gave him a super saiyan boost with an unspecified amount of strength, but enough to basically one shot Jasper, a character who does outright have impressive super strength. Dudes a BEAST
One thing i absolutely love about this show is that the cool kids are actually cool. In most shows, the cool kids are mean and judgemental and serve as antagonists to the main character. But the cool kids in this show are actually nice, they actually have good intentions and i love that. Like they are even nice to Lars whenever he tries to be friends with them, and all the judgement that Lars is scared of is all in his head, because the cool kids are always willing and happy to hang out with him. It teaches kids watching the show that you can be a nice person and still be cool. And i think that's really neat
Ducktales still has time to move up! And I really did enjoy The Owl House, it was just a lot of the filler eps in s1 and then Disney cut it which left a lot of loose ends and rushed ending :( not the shows fault, it was really good!! And I still really enjoyed it! I just... haven't felt the urge to rewatch it like I have with the others.
@@WeeLassReacts that makes sense! i think maybe we've all been misinterpreting the list (and it's left a lot of people confused lol), it's like a "how likely am i to rewatch the show" list, not just a general opinion list. i feel you on toh, it's one of my favorite cartoons and a huge comfort show, but i know it's not the best I've seen objectively, just because of some of the things you listed.

Regarding Yellow Diamond, there are three things to keep in mind: First, none of the gems have ears. Look at the Crystal Gems, as well as all the new gems we were just introduced to. All are earless. The second thing to consider is that there is only one "human" we've seen so far who does not have ears either, and that is Onion. Third, in gemstone terminology, another name for a yellow diamond is "onion diamond." Suddenly Onion's proficiency with gem technology makes a whole lot more sense, doesn't it?
American here, back in the 90s it was super normal to hang out with all ages of kids in the neighborhood. My younger brother and I often had overlap in our friend group. This was before the internet was in most houses so it was just how kids played back then
agreed! (as someone born in 00) my sister is 7.5 years older than me and we would both hang out with neighbor kids who were between us in age. we'd play a lot of fun games outside, and i remember playing gamecube with them too. also when i was younger, my friend and i (same age) would play with some other girls quite a bit younger than us.
Also before cars were so tall (dangerous) and when there were more public spaces to hang out at without being accused of 'loitering' and being kicked out.
Oh, isn't it safe to watch "Steven Universe | We Are the Crystal Gems Full Song - Extended Song - Music Video" now? I feel like that might be good to include.
I remember watching this for the first time and it really standing out to me how Steven was able to lift Jenny clear over his head like it was nothing.
Steven's pronunciation of "vestiges of my humanity" is absolutely perfect. It's not horribly wrong or anything (unlike the similar "tremity of injustice!" from S1), but it's just off enough that you only need to hear it to just _know_ that it's a phrase he learned from reading it in some comic book.
Lived in a couple different neighborhoods as a kid in the 90s. It was absolutely normal for kids of all ages on the same street to hang out together. It was practically encouranged since it was a time and place when kidnapping was on every parent's mind. So having all youngsters in close knit groups ensured they were all looking out for each other.
10:54 in my experience growing up with neighbor friends in America all of us played together but now that I’m a teenager in my current neighborhood ‘playing’ with the neighbors is essentially free babysitting that none of us sighed up for
I really really love that the "cool kids" are just genuinely cool people. They think steven is interesting and actually like good company. They never treat him like a kid despite him being younger and just treat him like a friend.
I enjoyed the adult stuff the most in that show, mostly the Stan and his brother stuff, but there just wasnt enough of it. The kid stuff was fine, but not something I could find relatable or entertaining enough to want to rush back in to rewatch. That being said, with time OtGW slowly moved up my list, other shows have the chance to move too.
@@WeeLassReacts I get that! I think a big part of what made gravity falls so good at the time of its release, was the mystery element of it and the fact that the show creator made kind of like an ARG surrounding it all. I was apart of the reddit team decoding messages and watching the show frame by frame and getting so excited to discover something new during the shows peak in 2012/13. So I think seeing reactors watching this show for the first time and not getting the same hype for the decoding messages and just seeing the show at face value I can completely agree with you the kids stuff being cute but the brother plot line is great! I'm glad to hear you still somewhat enjoyed it tho!
It's funny because the people in your comments struggling to comprehend the idea that you might have a different perspective on The Owl House, Gravity Falls, or Good Omens than they do is actually very subtle foreshadowing for how Steven will eventually be driven to murder over someone disagreeing with him about his favorite TV show Crying Breakfast Friends.
People commenting about how “gravity falls is in last place in her tier list!?” While I’m just gobsmacked at the owl house in “ALRIGHT” TIER??? Fuming I’m just kidding These two episodes are a really good start to season 2, and I love the song in full disclosure, might be one of my favorites in the show! And seeing how the cool kids hang out with Steven and want him to be a kid while he’s still a kid is very sweet. Very nice episodes!! Steven universe is so nice
I thought that episode was just a bit too derivative of Care Bears. Especially when Lion's name was revealed to be Brave Heart Lion. There is a difference between an homage and ripping it off.
I know the parts where the cool kids get Steven to mess around with the escape pod can be frustrating, but a huge part of Steven's character is the duality between being a human and being a gem. Sometimes kids do stupid shit that they probably shouldn't, that's just a part of growing up. He didn't think anything was wrong with him regarding what happened because he's lived with the gems for so long. He needs human connection in order to process the stuff that happens to them, and piloting an alien escape pod mech to do funny stuff is practically a rite of passage.
5:10 I don't remember if it's still around (and DEFINITELY don't look for it now it will be filled with spoilers) but Ronaldo's blog was a real thing the creators made, I think it was a Tumblr, but it would have little side bits unrelated to the main plot of the show but every now and again there would be a post that was hinting at future episodes.
full disclosure, one of my favorite songs from the series. so much so, that ever since this episode released so many years ago, the part of the song where it's just the ringtone and guitar has been MY ringtone. it still is today. it's just good, it's catchy, and to the average person, it just sounds like a normal ringtone.
Full Disclosure is such a masterpiece of an episode. Going full-throttle with the aftermath of the season one finale while also being fucking hilarious. Steven's character is so dynamically written. You can clearly see that he's still the same naive child he's always been, but has now been introduced to dark new experiences and emotions that he has no idea how to handle, and you can clearly see where his character could go from here based on this episode alone. And of course the song is wonderful. I love how they incorporated the ringtone. It's so creative!
I still remember the first time I watched SU, I got to this episode and paused to go play MtG at my LGS, but I was humming the Full Disclosure song, and one of my acquaintances there recognized it. That made me laugh so hard.
Because I have 0 interest in re-watching that show. The most fun thing for me was the Stan and his brother mystery and now that I know it, I know it. And there wasn't enough stuff with Stan and the older characters who I found more interesting to be worth re-watching.
After I saw Full Disclosure for the first time, I switched my phone’s ringtone to Steven’s ringtone for Connie for a LONG while. Funny thing is that one of our local grocery stores uses that sound for their phones, too!
10:49 Thank you so much Mosco for giving me that image that won’t ever leave my brain. Plus I’m turning 30 this year, so definitely a nice reminder. 😂👴
Amethyst:"I could be...the CROCODILE! Jazz hands..." Garnet:"No...." Amethyst:"Why not?" Pearl:"You always SAY you'll be the crocodile, but you NEVER COMMIT!" XD, one of my favorite exchanges, suggesting she already has attempted to be THE crocodile. Lol, the cool kids blank stares after Steven lists his heavy backstory and Jenny turning off the radio, XD Sour Cream just blurting "Just let him be a DJ!"to the gems.
Once you find out (small spoiler) that steven is a teenager, it makes a lot more sense that the cool kids actually enjoy Steven's company. Like, based on some lines from the future, they're probably like 16-17 max, especially since they actually are "cool" kids, as in like very chill fun empathetic people, just like steven.
I think its this season where the side characters (towns people) get some room to grow. It's fantastic that, while the Gems are the focus, we see such great detail on characters like Lars and Rolando and the group of cool kids.
the reason Steven universe didn't typically pick up where it left off is because cartoon network was just going to have every epasode be one-off epeasods instead of a series
It's a very common lesson for shows to teach that you have to be strong and prioritize your responsibilities. That message is good, but it can be overdone, and I really appreciate these episodes showing that it's ok to open up about what you're going through and that there are times when it's healthy to set work aside and just goof off for a bit.
This episode always makes me sad dude, watching it now as an adult makes me realize Steven never had terapeutic help at moment and from personal experience I know that never ends well. When Connie asks "are YOU ok?" hits home to me, It was wholesome he had her from that point on tho.
@@crosswordfish I can kinda get GO, its not everyone's cup of tea... But Gravity Falls? I don't judge you Mosco, I'm just stunned beyond belief with that one.😮
@@8bitarmory846it’s not one of my favorite shows. I don’t think she needs to explain herself, so I’ll try and do it myself. I love the story of GF, I love the book of bill, but the show, it can be a bit… not funny at times. Some jokes fall flat, things feel a bit weirdly paced sometimes. This isn’t me trying to say that GF is WORSE OBJECTIVELY, just that stuff some might like might not be for someone else. I don’t like cutaways, it makes me think of family guy (ew) and overly silly characters can get very annoying to people And you can’t change how people feel about a show
@@likecat7886 Yeah, GO is my all-time favorite show, but it's very different from all the other shows she's watched. (I cant lie, it being put on the last tier hurt my autistic heart a bit, but I understand not all people like the same stuff) But Gravity falls? The Owl House??? This list is all over the place (lovingly)
Notice how you can tell Steven’s voice in this season is maturing 13:55 what sucks is that this is the kind of peer pressure that teens gets an innocent teenager killed, Thank god the Crystal gems was there
The start of this episode is literally Steven being shaken out of a fugue state. Worth keeping an eye on the toll all of this takes on the poor boy. Going by this episode he doesnt really want to.
One of the things that I appreciate in Steven Universe is the cool kids/teenagers (Jenny, Sour Cream, and Buck Dewey) are not the typical obnoxious assholes that you usually see in other animated series. They listened to Steven's story during the roadtrip and instead of invalidating his experiences, they were stunned after finding out what he went through. And then at the end, they defended him from the Gems, saying that he's just a kid, they need to cut him some slack, and he may be dealing with something important, but everyone needs a break once in a while.
This is where the show picks up. Lasting consciences from previous events, further developing and complicating relations between characters, and Steven finally getting to peak behind the curtains more. But watching Season 1 was still necessary. A lot of what happened there will come back with a fury in the future.
I loved ALL the stuff with Stan and his brother and the twist, but I just didn't enjoy much of the stuff with the kids which was most of the show. Bill I loved too! But then I felt like they used him too much in the end that he stopped being as intimidating, a bit like when they show the monster or demon too much in a horror movie, ya know? I just have no interest in rewatching the show. Maybe specific episodes, but not the show.
@@WeeLassReactsman I really didn’t need to write that comment on reasons to not like the show when I could just scroll down and see this haha You don’t need to justify liking or disliking something like a show, if people keep pestering you…. Uh… idk that’d be bad
@@ZoraCatone The Owl House I ADORED but I have 0 interest in rewatching it, which is why it's not in the bracket above. The shows in that bracket above it are all ones I'd rewatch, and have re-watched already. She-ra is so high because I became slightly obsessed, it's tied very strongly into my and Elijah's relationship. I read fanfic for it, even started writing one, we roleplay as the characters and everything. So thats why it's up there. Shold have called the tier "Hyperfixation Station" instead lol.
Full Disclosure introduces one of my favorite aspects of Connie's character which is her refusing to take half assed bullshit from anyone and not giving a single fuck about the other person's emotions. If Steven is gonna cut off their friendship, he's gotta have the balls to do it to her face if he really means it.
What a surprise, I just watched the entire reaction to the 1st season and on the same day I have the pleasure of watching the beginning of the 2nd season (in fact, what a way to start a season). I'm not going to lie, I'm really proud of the comments section, after reading a lot I still haven't seen a single soul telling the truth about Steven, until now I was sure that at least someone would have said that at the end of the show Steven is diagnosed with cancer, and unfortunately he doesn't survive, but due to the powers of his gem his skeleton manages to be resurrected years later, but now Steven, after years of being dead, no longer recognizes anything in that world that is now full of humans who do magic and monsters and that after being mistaken for a monster like Steven is thrown into a cave sealed with a magical spell where all monsterkind resides and as there to let go of his past Steven, starts to use another name, this being Sans (Steven After Not Surviving), and how that was the beggining of his Undertale...
15:49 - Mosco freaking out that the teens weren't warning the Gems about Steven in the pod is me whenever the teenagers in the horror movies are about to walk to their deaths. (Also, this is why I no longer watch horror movies.)
Spoiler: You're right. There is tech hidden under the kindergarten. Specifically, a giant robot. However, it's in a state of disrepair, so Peridot will spend a couple of episodes stealing parts from her crashed spaceship to get it working again while we only see bits and pieces of it. The robot is also missing its left hand (guess where that is), but she will make do with the rest of it.
I loved all the Stan / his brother / Bill stuff, but the stuff with the kids just... didn't hit me the way it hit other people. I don't know why, I think I prefer shows with more active adult characters like Steven Universe or She-Ra. It's still a good show, just not for me :D
@@WeeLassReacts fair enough. I think I loved it so much was because I was Dipper and Mabel's age when it aired so I related to them a lot. But yeah as an adult the Stan, and bill stuff is way more interesting and mature. Its kinda how I felt when watching the owl house as I wanted to see more Eda then Luz. It is interesting to see how different an opinion someone who grew up with the show vs someone who watched later.
@@secretjanus Yes but almost the entire rest of the cast is adults. I adore Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst and I think they balance Steven nicely. Gravity Falls focused a lot on the kids, and they were children. They were 12. I just wasn't the right demographic for it because there was very little I could relate to. The Owl House I could relate a little more, I LOVED Eda and all the stuff with Raine and her sister too, and Luz and I shared a lot of similar personality traits. Thats why that ranked higher.
I would honestly love to see a separate video where you rank the shows you have watched. I am curious about the reasoning behind some of your choices. I'm surprised about "The Owl House" in decent since I remember you being into it during your reaction.
From the bits and pieces I've put together, that ranking exists because she liked it but the rewatchability (outside of a few episodes) isn't as high as the others. She rewatches She-Ra pretty regularly and the others are also on a moderate rewatch list but TOH just feel short.
Five tens, ten fives. If I understood you correctly, in America when playing tag as a child, our chime was "Tag, no tag back!" so that you wouldn't be in a back and forth with your tagger/tagee. There was also the really dumb thing we'd say when someone tagged you, and you tagged them back and escaped "Tags back, tags back, you're so fat, you just swatted a little kitty cat." No clue what/how/why it was a thing, I just call it kids being dumb kids, which I was one of!
so after peridot worms her way away from the ship, she manages to dig her way down into this crazy cavern where she builds a giant cocoon and then metamorphosis into a giant butterfly gem of destruction and begins eating her way through the earth.
Meanwhile, Peridot is building a robot army in the Kindergarten. She can build a robot in less than 10 seconds, so obviously that's what she would be doing.
one summer when I was little dad brought out his blue work rope from his joinery work and we would slowly add people to the jump rope. each time we failed we would start it from where we got upto in the end there was about 30 to 40 people kids teens and adults jumping rope together, went as far as 6 terraced homes maybe more. it was at least as long as one set of speed bumps to the second set. the men had to take over turning the rope and had to be 100% in sync it it would just fail. go into a good rythem that we couldn't stop even when cars where coming down the road had about 6 people both sides of the jump rope keeping thier hands out and helping cars turn round because if how long we had it going. fun times miss them times
Oh, yeah She-ra is the best one for me too. Steven would be in 2nd place, but in the best category;) And frankly speaking *there are still audience for the series that simply doesn't know about the show or thinks that it not for them* . Especially among golden triangle: Steven Universe, Gravity Falls and Owl House. If out of this 3 shows Steven is your favorite there are high chance that after 19-21 episodes of She-ra you would get why it deserves the high praise. You just have to "survive" Season 1. Which same as with Universe wasn't bad at all, but it didn't prepare us for later seasons awesomeness. p.s. it hurts my soul that Gravity Falls is so low, but to each its own.
Wait, why is Gravity Falls and Good Omens on the "never watch again" tier, like I'm not trying to act "offended" or anything I just thought you did/would have like them?
Because I dont want to rewatch them ever again lol if you watch my Good Omes reactions it shouldn't be a surprise but Gravity Falls just didn't ever give me the re-watch itch. The stuff I loved about was all the grown up stuff with Stan, and there just wasnt enough of it for me to want to go back.
I had Steven's ringtone set as my own for some time. Fake spoiler time: I can't wait to see how you react to the reveal that the other gems were coming to Earth to recruit the others to join them in a grand race across the entire galaxy. The part where Steven uses his healing spit to fix their damaged engine to make it across the finish line first was just *epic*!
Man, I love the part in this season where it’s revealed that Peridot is actually the gem equivalent of a dorito. The only reason she hasn’t been eaten yet is because the gems on homeworld don’t eat stuff!! (spooky)
I LOVE your Fizzarolli t-shirt, Mosco! I've finally gone to Hot Topic and gotten a "Take That, Depression!" Lucifer/Hazbin Hotel t-shirt and another from the TADC line, it's a glow-in-the-dark Pomni t-shirt with Abstraction eyes. I'm waiting for a sale to go get some I.M.P./Helluva Boss stuff and perhaps some Steven Universe stuff!
Always when I was growing up I connected more with people older than me it's most likely because until I was like 19 everyone thought I looked 2 years older than I was
Oh if you thought malachite was deeply unsettling, you’ll never survive round 2 of together breakfast where all the granola in beach city clumps together taking the form of a giant Godzilla like monster
Now that Good Omens has been mentioned, will you still be reacting to the last episode when it comes out? I know you said you probably won't be reacting to season 3. Is the situation still the same, or changed now that we know it's only one ep? You don't have to, obviously, I'm just curious :)
With this, the cool kids join up with the Crystal Gems. Pearl uses the remains if the ship to make a giant mech. The cool kids, along with Lars and Sadie, pilot it. Like Voltron, or the Megazord from Power Rangers.

People commenting about how “gravity falls is in last place in her tier list!?” While I’m just gobsmacked at the owl house in “ALRIGHT” TIER??? Fuming
I’m just kidding
These two episodes are a really good start to season 2, and I love the song in full disclosure, might be one of my favorites in the show!
And seeing how the cool kids hang out with Steven and want him to be a kid while he’s still a kid is very sweet. Very nice episodes!! Steven universe is so nice
The title 😭
She's still flabbergasted, that's all
"SHE'S STILL A FUSION!?"
She’s still in shock
She isn't over it yet
@@WepcapStinkhorn Isn't over, isn't it?
Not sure if someone's already said this, but Connie's last name Maheswaran translates to something like master of the universe
This subtle foreshadows that her mom is one of the members of the Great Diamond Authority, a conspiracy that only Ronaldo was able to uncover.
Man I can't wait for her to get to the episode where Steven unlocks the Friendship Belly Button Beam and uses it to defeat Peridot.
I thought that episode was just a bit too derivative of Care Bears.
Especially when Lion's name was revealed to be Brave Heart Lion. There is a difference between an homage and ripping it off.
0:44 she's an eternal flame, baby!
2:42 they should look for her on Neptune. Cuz ya know, god of the sea.
I know the parts where the cool kids get Steven to mess around with the escape pod can be frustrating, but a huge part of Steven's character is the duality between being a human and being a gem. Sometimes kids do stupid shit that they probably shouldn't, that's just a part of growing up. He didn't think anything was wrong with him regarding what happened because he's lived with the gems for so long. He needs human connection in order to process the stuff that happens to them, and piloting an alien escape pod mech to do funny stuff is practically a rite of passage.
Can’t wait until you see the Beach city have to fuse as a mega human fusion to fight the Home World Crystal Kaiju
5:10 I don't remember if it's still around (and DEFINITELY don't look for it now it will be filled with spoilers) but Ronaldo's blog was a real thing the creators made, I think it was a Tumblr, but it would have little side bits unrelated to the main plot of the show but every now and again there would be a post that was hinting at future episodes.
full disclosure, one of my favorite songs from the series. so much so, that ever since this episode released so many years ago, the part of the song where it's just the ringtone and guitar has been MY ringtone. it still is today. it's just good, it's catchy, and to the average person, it just sounds like a normal ringtone.
You should make a video explaining why you put certain show where on your ranking list
Its so early in the show but Full Disclosure is definitely one of my favorite songs ever in the show
Full Disclosure is such a masterpiece of an episode. Going full-throttle with the aftermath of the season one finale while also being fucking hilarious. Steven's character is so dynamically written. You can clearly see that he's still the same naive child he's always been, but has now been introduced to dark new experiences and emotions that he has no idea how to handle, and you can clearly see where his character could go from here based on this episode alone. And of course the song is wonderful. I love how they incorporated the ringtone. It's so creative!
@1:36 was that Elijah in the background laughing about peridot doing the worm?😂
I still remember the first time I watched SU, I got to this episode and paused to go play MtG at my LGS, but I was humming the Full Disclosure song, and one of my acquaintances there recognized it. That made me laugh so hard.
Why is Gravity Falls under "never watching it again" if you don't mind me asking?
I'd imagine it's probably because she hates Mabel with a burning passion.
Because I have 0 interest in re-watching that show. The most fun thing for me was the Stan and his brother mystery and now that I know it, I know it. And there wasn't enough stuff with Stan and the older characters who I found more interesting to be worth re-watching.
After I saw Full Disclosure for the first time, I switched my phone’s ringtone to Steven’s ringtone for Connie for a LONG while. Funny thing is that one of our local grocery stores uses that sound for their phones, too!
THIS IS SUCH A BANGER SEASON!! Buckle up.
10:49 Thank you so much Mosco for giving me that image that won’t ever leave my brain. Plus I’m turning 30 this year, so definitely a nice reminder. 😂👴
Amethyst:"I could be...the CROCODILE! Jazz hands..."
Garnet:"No...."
Amethyst:"Why not?"
Pearl:"You always SAY you'll be the crocodile, but you NEVER COMMIT!"
XD, one of my favorite exchanges, suggesting she already has attempted to be THE crocodile.
Lol, the cool kids blank stares after Steven lists his heavy backstory and Jenny turning off the radio, XD
Sour Cream just blurting "Just let him be a DJ!"to the gems.
I love how the Cool Kids are standing up for Steven. The Gems were a little hard on him, but they still loved him
🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖
Why am i just now realizing that's Elijah's setup in the background! Lol nothing escapes my powers of observation
Once you find out (small spoiler) that steven is a teenager, it makes a lot more sense that the cool kids actually enjoy Steven's company. Like, based on some lines from the future, they're probably like 16-17 max, especially since they actually are "cool" kids, as in like very chill fun empathetic people, just like steven.
Steven's not a teenager. He's 80.
@@DucktorDoomhe’s not 80, he’s eighty
I think its this season where the side characters (towns people) get some room to grow. It's fantastic that, while the Gems are the focus, we see such great detail on characters like Lars and Rolando and the group of cool kids.
12:22 quick reminder his name is Sour Cream
SEASON TWO!! LET'S GOOO
the reason Steven universe didn't typically pick up where it left off is because cartoon network was just going to have every epasode be one-off epeasods instead of a series
It's a very common lesson for shows to teach that you have to be strong and prioritize your responsibilities. That message is good, but it can be overdone, and I really appreciate these episodes showing that it's ok to open up about what you're going through and that there are times when it's healthy to set work aside and just goof off for a bit.
11:42 "Oh! Pizza!" 😂
This episode always makes me sad dude, watching it now as an adult makes me realize Steven never had terapeutic help at moment and from personal experience I know that never ends well. When Connie asks "are YOU ok?" hits home to me, It was wholesome he had her from that point on tho.
9:30 Some of those rankings in the tier list are criminal!! Respect it’s her opinion, but damn I’m shocked about some of those shows.
Real honestly
@@crosswordfish I can kinda get GO, its not everyone's cup of tea... But Gravity Falls? I don't judge you Mosco, I'm just stunned beyond belief with that one.😮
@@likecat7886 was just wondering about Gravity Falls
@@8bitarmory846it’s not one of my favorite shows. I don’t think she needs to explain herself, so I’ll try and do it myself.
I love the story of GF, I love the book of bill, but the show, it can be a bit… not funny at times. Some jokes fall flat, things feel a bit weirdly paced sometimes.
This isn’t me trying to say that GF is WORSE OBJECTIVELY, just that stuff some might like might not be for someone else.
I don’t like cutaways, it makes me think of family guy (ew) and overly silly characters can get very annoying to people
And you can’t change how people feel about a show
@@likecat7886 Yeah, GO is my all-time favorite show, but it's very different from all the other shows she's watched. (I cant lie, it being put on the last tier hurt my autistic heart a bit, but I understand not all people like the same stuff) But Gravity falls? The Owl House??? This list is all over the place (lovingly)
Notice how you can tell Steven’s voice in this season is maturing
13:55 what sucks is that this is the kind of peer pressure that teens gets an innocent teenager killed, Thank god the Crystal gems was there
The start of this episode is literally Steven being shaken out of a fugue state. Worth keeping an eye on the toll all of this takes on the poor boy. Going by this episode he doesnt really want to.
One day he will become a DJ i can feel it
One of the things that I appreciate in Steven Universe is the cool kids/teenagers (Jenny, Sour Cream, and Buck Dewey) are not the typical obnoxious assholes that you usually see in other animated series. They listened to Steven's story during the roadtrip and instead of invalidating his experiences, they were stunned after finding out what he went through. And then at the end, they defended him from the Gems, saying that he's just a kid, they need to cut him some slack, and he may be dealing with something important, but everyone needs a break once in a while.
This is where the show picks up.
Lasting consciences from previous events, further developing and complicating relations between characters, and Steven finally getting to peak behind the curtains more.
But watching Season 1 was still necessary. A lot of what happened there will come back with a fury in the future.
9:28 infinity train supremacy proven
9:28 can I ask why you put Gravity Falls so low on your list? I'm just very surprised!
I loved ALL the stuff with Stan and his brother and the twist, but I just didn't enjoy much of the stuff with the kids which was most of the show. Bill I loved too! But then I felt like they used him too much in the end that he stopped being as intimidating, a bit like when they show the monster or demon too much in a horror movie, ya know? I just have no interest in rewatching the show. Maybe specific episodes, but not the show.
@@WeeLassReactsman I really didn’t need to write that comment on reasons to not like the show when I could just scroll down and see this haha
You don’t need to justify liking or disliking something like a show, if people keep pestering you…. Uh… idk that’d be bad
@@WeeLassReactsOwl House...? That's very surprising.
@pemanilnoob I was curious to the reasons too
@@ZoraCatone The Owl House I ADORED but I have 0 interest in rewatching it, which is why it's not in the bracket above. The shows in that bracket above it are all ones I'd rewatch, and have re-watched already.
She-ra is so high because I became slightly obsessed, it's tied very strongly into my and Elijah's relationship. I read fanfic for it, even started writing one, we roleplay as the characters and everything. So thats why it's up there. Shold have called the tier "Hyperfixation Station" instead lol.
Full Disclosure introduces one of my favorite aspects of Connie's character which is her refusing to take half assed bullshit from anyone and not giving a single fuck about the other person's emotions. If Steven is gonna cut off their friendship, he's gotta have the balls to do it to her face if he really means it.

What a surprise, I just watched the entire reaction to the 1st season and on the same day I have the pleasure of watching the beginning of the 2nd season (in fact, what a way to start a season).
I'm not going to lie, I'm really proud of the comments section, after reading a lot I still haven't seen a single soul telling the truth about Steven, until now I was sure that at least someone would have said that at the end of the show Steven is diagnosed with cancer, and unfortunately he doesn't survive, but due to the powers of his gem his skeleton manages to be resurrected years later, but now Steven, after years of being dead, no longer recognizes anything in that world that is now full of humans who do magic and monsters and that after being mistaken for a monster like Steven is thrown into a cave sealed with a magical spell where all monsterkind resides and as there to let go of his past Steven, starts to use another name, this being Sans (Steven After Not Surviving), and how that was the beggining of his Undertale...
15:49 - Mosco freaking out that the teens weren't warning the Gems about Steven in the pod is me whenever the teenagers in the horror movies are about to walk to their deaths. (Also, this is why I no longer watch horror movies.)
Ok that is a really good (& funny) comparison there! Lol 😂
6:30 is the reason why I watch the youtube uploads even though I'm also subscribed to the patreon. XD
This season is much shorter (all are compared to one) but so much happens and is so good
I've had this ringtone for my wife for almost a decade at this point. It's jarring to watch this episode, LOL
this is my first impression of you and I love it.
Spoiler: You're right. There is tech hidden under the kindergarten. Specifically, a giant robot. However, it's in a state of disrepair, so Peridot will spend a couple of episodes stealing parts from her crashed spaceship to get it working again while we only see bits and pieces of it. The robot is also missing its left hand (guess where that is), but she will make do with the rest of it.
Out of curiosity what did you not like about Gravity Falls? Did you keep on getting spoiled? Or was it just not your cup of tea?
I loved all the Stan / his brother / Bill stuff, but the stuff with the kids just... didn't hit me the way it hit other people. I don't know why, I think I prefer shows with more active adult characters like Steven Universe or She-Ra.
It's still a good show, just not for me :D
@@WeeLassReacts fair enough. I think I loved it so much was because I was Dipper and Mabel's age when it aired so I related to them a lot. But yeah as an adult the Stan, and bill stuff is way more interesting and mature. Its kinda how I felt when watching the owl house as I wanted to see more Eda then Luz. It is interesting to see how different an opinion someone who grew up with the show vs someone who watched later.
@@WeeLassReactsSteven Universe is also a kid, he starts off as 12
@@secretjanus Yes but almost the entire rest of the cast is adults. I adore Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst and I think they balance Steven nicely. Gravity Falls focused a lot on the kids, and they were children. They were 12. I just wasn't the right demographic for it because there was very little I could relate to.
The Owl House I could relate a little more, I LOVED Eda and all the stuff with Raine and her sister too, and Luz and I shared a lot of similar personality traits. Thats why that ranked higher.
I would honestly love to see a separate video where you rank the shows you have watched. I am curious about the reasoning behind some of your choices. I'm surprised about "The Owl House" in decent since I remember you being into it during your reaction.
From the bits and pieces I've put together, that ranking exists because she liked it but the rewatchability (outside of a few episodes) isn't as high as the others. She rewatches She-Ra pretty regularly and the others are also on a moderate rewatch list but TOH just feel short.
Omg i love that fizzsrolli shirt
Five tens, ten fives. If I understood you correctly, in America when playing tag as a child, our chime was "Tag, no tag back!" so that you wouldn't be in a back and forth with your tagger/tagee. There was also the really dumb thing we'd say when someone tagged you, and you tagged them back and escaped "Tags back, tags back, you're so fat, you just swatted a little kitty cat." No clue what/how/why it was a thing, I just call it kids being dumb kids, which I was one of!
so after peridot worms her way away from the ship, she manages to dig her way down into this crazy cavern where she builds a giant cocoon and then metamorphosis into a giant butterfly gem of destruction and begins eating her way through the earth.
Meanwhile, Peridot is building a robot army in the Kindergarten. She can build a robot in less than 10 seconds, so obviously that's what she would be doing.
"Back when I was little, when I was wee.. when I was a-"
*INVINCIBLE*
To answer your question: sour cream and onion
The length of time it took you to get Sour Cream and Onion... well, let's just say I'm excited for some reveals now.
one summer when I was little dad brought out his blue work rope from his joinery work and we would slowly add people to the jump rope. each time we failed we would start it from where we got upto in the end there was about 30 to 40 people kids teens and adults jumping rope together, went as far as 6 terraced homes maybe more. it was at least as long as one set of speed bumps to the second set. the men had to take over turning the rope and had to be 100% in sync it it would just fail. go into a good rythem that we couldn't stop even when cars where coming down the road had about 6 people both sides of the jump rope keeping thier hands out and helping cars turn round because if how long we had it going. fun times miss them times
Oh, yeah She-ra is the best one for me too. Steven would be in 2nd place, but in the best category;)
And frankly speaking *there are still audience for the series that simply doesn't know about the show or thinks that it not for them* . Especially among golden triangle: Steven Universe, Gravity Falls and Owl House. If out of this 3 shows Steven is your favorite there are high chance that after 19-21 episodes of She-ra you would get why it deserves the high praise. You just have to "survive" Season 1. Which same as with Universe wasn't bad at all, but it didn't prepare us for later seasons awesomeness.
p.s. it hurts my soul that Gravity Falls is so low, but to each its own.
I am loving the steven universe reactions 🎉🎉
I'm OK with your tier list but i am confused on ducktales and owl house
Wait, why is Gravity Falls and Good Omens on the "never watch again" tier, like I'm not trying to act "offended" or anything I just thought you did/would have like them?
Because I dont want to rewatch them ever again lol if you watch my Good Omes reactions it shouldn't be a surprise but Gravity Falls just didn't ever give me the re-watch itch. The stuff I loved about was all the grown up stuff with Stan, and there just wasnt enough of it for me to want to go back.
@WeeLassReacts I see, thank you for responding to me. 🙂
I love how patreon is already at season 2 and im just here waiting 😭
I had Steven's ringtone set as my own for some time.
Fake spoiler time: I can't wait to see how you react to the reveal that the other gems were coming to Earth to recruit the others to join them in a grand race across the entire galaxy. The part where Steven uses his healing spit to fix their damaged engine to make it across the finish line first was just *epic*!
2:45 You have no idea how important Peridot is to Homeworld.
Steven has a dumbed down version of the strength Rose had I believe.(Emphasis on the “dumbed down”) 13:33
Man, I love the part in this season where it’s revealed that Peridot is actually the gem equivalent of a dorito. The only reason she hasn’t been eaten yet is because the gems on homeworld don’t eat stuff!! (spooky)
I LOVE your Fizzarolli t-shirt, Mosco! I've finally gone to Hot Topic and gotten a "Take That, Depression!" Lucifer/Hazbin Hotel t-shirt and another from the TADC line, it's a glow-in-the-dark Pomni t-shirt with Abstraction eyes. I'm waiting for a sale to go get some I.M.P./Helluva Boss stuff and perhaps some Steven Universe stuff!
The show gets so much better.
Always when I was growing up I connected more with people older than me
it's most likely because until I was like 19 everyone thought I looked 2 years older than I was
Absolutely loooove the Fizzarolli shirt
Aw dang! Did she not see the Season 2 trailer where we see the expectations for the next season???
2:32 You're asking _Amethyst_ to think logically? Also they're allowed to celebrate a win y'know lol.
Oh if you thought malachite was deeply unsettling, you’ll never survive round 2 of together breakfast where all the granola in beach city clumps together taking the form of a giant Godzilla like monster
9:29 Gravity falls is in "never watching it again"???
Now that Good Omens has been mentioned, will you still be reacting to the last episode when it comes out? I know you said you probably won't be reacting to season 3. Is the situation still the same, or changed now that we know it's only one ep? You don't have to, obviously, I'm just curious :)
Been in this channel for two days and already LOVE IT!💜💜💜💜💜💜
WELCOME TO HELL- I mean... uh... welcome to the channel :3 have some nuggies
For shows to watch, I recommend Carmen Sandiego. It’s a pretty solid show. It’s one of my favorites.
With this, the cool kids join up with the Crystal Gems.
Pearl uses the remains if the ship to make a giant mech. The cool kids, along with Lars and Sadie, pilot it. Like Voltron, or the Megazord from Power Rangers.
NEVER feel bad about eating food. Fed is better than not fed, and no food is inherently bad. Except maybe literal poisons like arsenic.
16:10 Jenny was so real for that, garnet could obliterated her
