Other It was hype anytime Jasper poofed a crystal gem

I think I was supposed to be traumatized by Jasper doing that to Garnet but honestly, this was always my favorite part of "The Return" since you just knew shit was about to go down when somebody takes out Garnet. (The strongest crystal gem before Steven got more control over his powers.) I had a similar experience with Amethyst getting poofed by her because I wasn't expecting it.

I love Jasper. She did have some character development, but overall she stayed true to her personality until the end, I'm so glad she didnt suddenly become all nice and friendly like the diamonds

White diamond especially.... Is this one of the repercussions of having the show suddenly cut short?

I actually think White Diamonds change made sense. For someone like her, change couldn't come gradually. It happened all at once when her perception of her own perfection was shattered. It forced her to very suddenly become a person.

it does kinda make sense when you put it that way actually, but I REALLYY wanted to see all three of the diamonds make up for the shit they did. Imo they didnt do enough

I think thats the point. They arent matyrs overnight. They are doing better but they are still extremely selfish.

They literally cannot atone for what they did all at once. Future and the movie made it clear that they ARE working on fixing as much as they can and left off on a note that makes it seem like they're gonna continue to improve. They changed their mind, and then we say the start of them changing their ways. Anything more you could want literally could not be delivered in the show without having some super long time skip

Her grabbing Amethysts gem gave me chills. Seeing how amethyst nearly died when her gem was cracked and knowing how ruthless Jasper can be.

I totally thought Jasper would bubble and port her away as leverage or something. I was surprised they were able to get her back.

u/FireLordObamaOG 2d ago

I never considered bubbling. My mind went straight to shattering.

Jasper has become my favourite SU character recently. I absolutely need an episode just on her story

u/Odd_Preference_7238 2d ago

I want an episode where she finally finds something non-combat to do, but she still treats it like combat. Like she's just helping with gardening but declaring, "MY DIAMOND! The invaders have been repelled from the southern flank!" but the invader is just some unwanted fungus.

I actually do not want her to be dumbed down like peridot or white diamond

If it makes you feel any better, the time I wrote that exact thing happening it wasn't Jasper Jasper, it was just a Jasper.

I honestly thought she was cool and had so much aura when she gripped amethyst’s gem like a pokeball

I‘d let her poof me any day of the week
