They got away with literally everything
No it's ok thought they got redeemed with crying and middle school tier songs
Not sure why you expected a punishment. The rest of the galaxy would be just destroy Earth and the Crystal Gems
>I literally cannot comprehend a world wherein complete and utter vengeance does not occur
Maybe one day you'll stop being five years old, but I guess today is not that day.
So does Zeus, Hera, and the rest. Having gods you can't eventually bitchslap is honestly rarely seen outside of horror, so I find it an interesting change.
>I apologize for Space Hitlers un-ironically
Who knew Zig Forumsmblr would go full Zig Forums if their Fuhrers were Rainbow LGBTQ+.
Zeus did get his shit kicked in once when the other gods bound him in celestial chains and forced him to be better for a while. While they are rarely killed, the Greek Gods fuck with each other all the time, mostly by & though their use of mortals.
Ian and Sugar confirmed they didn't killed anyone but simple stupids plants.
Didn’t humans fight in the gem war?
>implying they did anything wrong
you can forgive space hitlers if they have the right gender.
True. You gotta look out for numero uno. Your species.
Didnt they shatter a fuckload of gems too? Blue's to go punishment for the smallest thing was that
They did nothing wrong, you are applying human morality to an alien species that don’t obey the same laws.
How exactly do you plan on punishing a triad of living gods?
The whole universe found out that their culture and science stagnated for many cosmic epochs because White is retarded and not much better than a Pagan barbarian. Her sentence is the public humiliation of that, plus now anyone can sit in her throne.
Yellow is resurrecting all the Gems that were ever executed by the Diamonds. That counts as eons of community service.
Blue got off with the lightest sentence given she’s just there for Gems touring the palace to relax with, but it’s due to her being good at her Era 1 and 2 job. She may have had the most Gems executed to the point she was known as the Shatterer, but she also kept the entire Empire running using an effective model and kept the damage Pink caused to a minimum as well as indirectly enabling Pink and later Steven to create this whole new era of freedom in the first place. But you can argue that her punishment came as her having worked her ass off while in mourning for around six thousand years. Not to mention she was likely the one who instituted the change of having what was previously Offcolors who were Shattered at birth simply “fixed” with cybernetic enhancements. So most of the Era 2 Gems owe their lives to her.
Ultimately they are now the British Royal Family of Homeworld, and just like the Royals they are a source of tourism revenue and a rallying point for both establishment conservatives and establishment liberals to cone together over.
Don’t forget that without Hebe, goddess of youth, providing them ambrosia the Gods would turn into undying shriveled mummies, and Hebe ended up marrying Hercules as the god of strength and mortal order.
The gods are now always under threat if they don’t treat humans better.
We don’t know.
That theory is based on how Connie is counted as a Crystal Gem without fuss, how Pearl talked about Captain Dewey becoming a good friend to the Crystal Gems, and how Bismuth assumes that Steven was one before finding out he’s half-Gem.
Pink didn’t. In a way she (Steven) still has to clean up her mess. She just wasn’t Pink Diamond when she was forced to.
Yes but yellow is going to revive everyone because Rebecca can't into consequences even in backstory
Given what is implied to have happened to her, which is locking herself away deep in the Pink Diamond Gem in a manner similar to Pearl’s inner traumatized selves, she basically sentenced herself to being locked in the tower forever. Because Steven would have been born with too weak a heart to survive birth.
She didn’t atone, but she is living her worst nightmare forever.
The physical signs of being Shattered and Corrupted remain forever, without population replenishment they are a dying race and without Pink’s Essence a lot of types of Gems are reproductively extinct, and there’s villainous Gems out there. Plus who knows how long Lars can resist the urge of piracy.
>Because Steven would have been born with too weak a heart to survive birth.
Source?
Ueah, Greg confirms it.
“Too weak a heart” is fan guesswork based on how his human half looks and acts both in CYM and the movie. Extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, pallid skin, dark circles under the eyes.
For sure we know he would not have survived birth without constant healing power from Pink. Either it’s some magical “has half a soul” or “is only half a person” handwave, or something more real. If it’s more a real thing, like Gems can reproduce without sacrificing themselves but Steven was just destined to be a miscarriage, then it’s likely his heart.
Maybe it’s like one of those chickenpox things. Like it’s too late for Steven to be Gemless or else it’s really bad for him but it would have been okay back when he was way younger
Maybe.
In the movie when his Gem was barely functioning he was getting worse steadily, so the timeskip between it and the series didn’t seem to help.
That's true on greek mythology you couldn't dare to touch the gods, just hope you'll get them on their good side and that they either leave you alone or they like you enough to hear your prayers, this is literally the theme of Orpheus and Euridyce, yet it being a tradegy Orpheus failed not because the god didn't litsen but because of his human flaws
What about the other mythologies?
>How exactly do you plan on punishing a triad of living gods?
Going by greek mythology the only one who can punish them is another being with the same feats, another diamond, not half-breed like Steven which is comparable to a semigod
Hercules kind of redeemed Hera. His is the last story she plays villain in. Plus, his whole shtick was destroying the old chaos left behind by the Titans or unleashed by the gods which created a world relatively safe from danger. At least compared to before. Plus he freed Prometheus, who still wants to help make humanity better.
Steven is basically Hercules. Bismuth is totally Prometheus. Hell, the human creation myth of Greek mythology is basically Garnet.
Then why not make him a Pink Zombie? If there's anytime for PD to cry it would be knowing her son is destined to die as withered afterbirth. She didnt need to sacrifice herself to keep Steven alive or healthy considering she can literally bring back the dead and heal any wound short of shattering on her own.
She wants him to be able to change and grow. Like a human
Yeah, like his immune system is weakened due to his Gem handing out healing
>wanna say that again, bitch?
>Giant blue ass cheeks
Rose made Steven with a gem half because she wanted to make something never seen before. Steven is literally only half human, not a full human with a gem, his light part is just as much a part of him as any of his organs. I highly doubt Rose couldn’t make a 100% human child that could live considering literally most of her other powers.
Which shows it was a last minute retcon to save face. If Yellow Diamond had that power she would of used it to reform Pink Diamond ASAP and would find out that the shards are fake and that shes alive/missing rather than dead. Sugar's a bigger hack than JK Rowlimg at this point. Even her last minute revisionism creates more plot holes than it solves.
