Or did season 2 have a really anticlimactic ending. I mean yea we got to see yellow diamond but that wasn’t even that big of a deal compared to the end of season 1. Season one ending was this huge deal where the gems were taken, garnet got split in half, and a fucking space ship exploded. Malachite got dragged into the bottom of the ocean, peridot got away, and on top of all that, Garnets last words were “Yikes”. I mean, that’s so much action. And then we have season 2 which ended with peridot becoming a crystal gem and telling yd to shove it pretty much. Oh and don’t forget the fusion that -almost- happened. Imo I don’t think season 2 ended that great. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with what the crewniverse is cooking up and what they’ve shown us so far. I just think they could have done something a little better for the end of s2.

Pretty sure Seasons 2 and 3 were supposed to be one season originally. Season 1 had 52 episodes while Season 2 only had 26.

I’ve only seen a few episodes of Steven Universe but I don’t trust Rose. It almost seems like she’s the new Dumbledore - the leader who everyone worships and loves a little too much and if you step back and look at it from a non-biased point-of-view, you realize that she’s done just as many controversial things as the enemy.

And honestly, wouldn’t it make such a great story if, after episode after episode of talking about how much they worshiped her, the Crystal Gems had to come to terms with the fact that their leader wasn’t that great? Think of how much that would crush the foundation of the show. Think of how much it would crush the characters. Think of how confusing that would be for Steven. It would be such an epic plot twist with so much potential. Rebecca Sugar, don’t fail me (the person who has seen all of four episodes) now!

Rose definitely isn’t as great as she seems, as she went out of her way to kill her own kind for the sake of humans.

The idea that Lapis reforms before Jasper is…. really weird to me. Like it feels honestly, completely, and fully off and I don’t get it. I know she’s not Amethyst but like it kinda felt like they implied quartz gems came back so quickly cause they were meant to be warriors and junk, you know? I would expect Jasper to come back in like a day minimum. Maybe they just bubbled her idk

I’m sure she was bubbled. There’s no way they would trust Jasper immediately.

Dear Cartoon Network,

What. The. Fuck.

You know what? You’re a Network. I get that it must be hard managing all of your shows. I get that it must be difficult to schedule and deal with this, while appeasing all the fans of each show. So I can look past the scheduling difficulties. I can look past the reboots I don’t like, because you know what? They have fans. As much as I don’t understand it, they have a following, and you’re a business. 

But you can’t keep leaking videos.

I’m talking as a Steven Universe fan, I don’t know if any of your other shows have had this problem. But this show has a HUGE fanbase. You have to know that; the Crystal Gems won in a landslide on a poll for favorite CN Superheroes, for one. And you know, leaking a 5-second clip or two is fine. Or even, spoil a bit, but not something huge like the return of several major characters. Heck, if someone hacked into your accounts and leaked the clips themselves, I could understand that, because then it wouldn’t be your fault. But you are releasing long, EXTREMELY SPOILERY clips as promos for the show. The first time this happened, I believe, was the clip from “Barn Mates”, which ruined for many viewers the surprise of Lapis returning. But you know, it was short, not too spoilery. Then came the clip of Malachite fighting Alexandrite- two HUGE SPOIELRS. First that Malachite was returning to fight, and that the Gems would fuse into Alexandrite to defeat her, something that we all wanted to be a surprise. Then apparently a longer clip from Barn Mates, and now something involving the return of RUBY AND SAPPHIRE, SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO A LOT. IT’S NOT A PROMO IF IT’S RUINING THE SURPRISE.

Let me tell you a story. In the most recent arc of SU, the Steven’s Birthday Week, the advertisements very well hyped my sisters and I up without ruining anything. They showed what we needed to see- Peridot threatening the gems, yellow shapes resembling diamonds, Steven feeling bad- to hype us up and worry us. We were extremely surprised to see First Fusion!Garnet, Ruby and Sapphire’s song, Yellow and Blue Pearl, the works. We did not expect to see Yellow Diamond, we went nuts. Peridot siding with the gems was a surprise, we loved it. When Pearl and Amethyst fused into Opal in “Log Date 7 15 2″, my sisters and I literally screamed, we were so happy. The point is, we were not expecting these things, and so we were overjoyed when they happened.

The newest trailer for “In Too Deep” was good, too. We already knew Malachite was coming back thanks to the leak, but everything else was done well. But now, apparently, the leaks are back. This is something that makes me so mad. I wanted to be surprised to see Ruby and Sapphire again. I wanted to be excited for Malachite. I wanted to be surprised by Lapis’s return. But now I can’t. You could say it’s my fault for seeing these on the tag, I can choose what I see. And that would be true, if these weren’t released as trailers for the show itself. Also, with a fanbase this huge, it is nearly impossible to keep spoilers hidden. You can’t go on the tag without seeing someone post a picture from a leak, discuss the leak, make theories based off something we weren’t supposed to see.

Another thing that bugs me is how often this happens. For a little show called Gravity Falls, I can’t remember a leaked image that wasn’t the creator trolling the fanbase (ex: McGucket is the author). Granted, there were probably different circumstances – Disney is a larger network, maybe there were leaks but I just happened not to notice – but the fact that this show is leaked almost periodically is pissing me off. It happens so often, I saw a post where someone made a joke about Cartoon Network constantly dropping leaks via a meme (I can’t find it, when I will I’ll link it.) It’s almost as if you’re not even trying. After the first three times, I figured you’d have a protocol in place to keep spoilers from airing as promos, or at least ask the creators if these clips are spoilery or not. Heck, maybe you do, in which case, I’m mad at friggin everyone right now.

Maybe I’m not someone to talk. Maybe I’m overreacting, which is likely considering me. Maybe this isn’t your fault at all, and someone is just releasing these clips as a leak and I’m misunderstanding the situation. Maybe this is just a rant. Maybe this is just to make a friggin point. I am so. FUCKING. SICK. OF HAVING TO AVOID ALL OF THE FANDOM JUST TO NOT GET A HUGE SURPRISE RUINED FOR ME. Again, I understand it must be hard to run several different shows like this. But this is one of your most popular shows, you could at least care when things are being ruined for us left and right.

tl;dr These leaks are awful and far too common, fuck you.

Sincerely,

A fan who needed to get this out of her system.

It’s best not to view the Cartoon Network Anything and Spanish promo stuff as leaks. They’re spoilers, but they’re promotional. The stuff from Cartoon Network UK’s site was DEFINITELY a leak though as it not only revealed important plot aspects, but was wrongly uploaded.
