[[WMG:The Rejuvenator has always been used no matter the time period, but sparsely]]
In most cases, a Gem that steps out of line for any reason will be shattered. But, of course, these Gems may sometimes be valuable in some way, such as outperforming others of their sort or being limited in numbers, or their gem is difficult or impossible to crack which would make shattering useless or detrimental. So what to do in such a case? Resetting them to how they were in the moment they began existing would wipe whatever they might have learned that's deemed "harmful", preserving them and removing a "bad actor" at the same time. But the tool to do this action is expensive to make -- for all we know, there could be just a few of Spinel's Rejuvenator or even just the ''one'' she had in the entire universe -- so it would naturally be more cost-effective to just shatter undesired Gems than to spend valuable time sending them off to places or authorities that offer Rejuvenators, not to mention said Gems could eventually return to doing whatever it was that got them rejuvenated in the first place and require repeating the whole process. As a result, the Rejuvenator is normally reserved only for a small handful of cases, with most Gems generally being replaceable enough to afford shattering them.

* First, we know the Crewniverse love both the masterful use of the SubvertedTrope, and all sorts of video games. The Crystal Gems' return journey to Earth with [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E11LarsOfTheStars Lars and the Off-Colors' help]] (as rumored by an anonymous Cartoon Network marketing employee many months ago) will be much more arduous and lead to more CharacterDevelopment than expected (subverting [[BoringReturnJourney the way writers usually treat the return journey]]) with the villain as a PostFinalBoss (video game influence) after the Diamonds. After all, TheHomewardJourney would be sufficiently interesting for a full movie after [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E28BattleOfHeartAndMind "Battle of Heart and Mind"]].

The reason we didn't see her with everyone else was because she ran away immediately after being cured, and [[FreudianExcuse the reason]] she's going to act evil is because [[FishOutOfTemporalWater she is clueless about the Diamonds']] [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turns]] and thinks [[PoorCommunicationKills the Crystal Gems sided/surrendered to them]]. [[RealityEnsues Reality will most likely ensue]] when she's finally confronted, the whole group yelling at her that this whole thing could've been completely avoided had she just talked to them and not jumped to conclusions.

** It would give weight to Spinel's claims that the Crystal Gems were "a bunch of nobodies"--there's tons of Pearls, Rubies, Sapphires, and Amethysts out there, so why would Pink Diamond choose to spend her days with ''them'' instead of her special, one-of-a-kind buddy Spinel?

** The Gems' mortal enemies, the Metals. They're like the Gems, only they're formed from precious metal ores, have male forms, and are a ProudWarriorRace who often go to war with the Gems over resources. Their leader, Rhodium, is the ScornedExLover of White Diamond. And voiced by Creator/JamesWoods in much the same way as [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hades]]. Now, they've turned their sights on Earth, but White Diamond has reformed the Gem race from being her vision of perfection to a galactic peacekeeping force, thus leading to Cartoon Network's first war movie. The film's BigBad is a Gem who defected to the Metals' side.

[[WMG:There's only ever been one Spinel]]
* A lot of things seem to point to Spinel being the only Gem of her kind, meaning she'd be the rarest Gem ''ever created''.
** To start, all Gems are "born" with, and for, a singular purpose--Rubys are guards, Bismuths are builders, etc. Spinel's purpose is to be a companion and entertainer, specifically a Gem's best friend. The rigid, totalitarian society of Homeworld frowned upon mixing of upper- and lower-crust Gems, so it's very unlikely that friendship would be encouraged...except to distract one unruly Diamond, that is.
** In Pearl's song, she mentions each of the other Gems as "a" something ("A Ruby guard...""A precious Sapphire...""This is an Amethyst..."). She only calls Spinel by name ("Your new best friend, Spinel!").
** Related to the above, when Peridot announces herself to Yellow Diamond on the communicator, Yellow Diamond's response is, "''Which'' Peridot?". When Steven asks the Diamonds if they remembered Spinel, White responds with, "I'm sorry, ''who''?". If there were more than one Spinel, she would have asked which Spinel Steven meant--bear in mind, the Diamonds are in charge of creating all Gemkind, and would remember creating an entire caste of Gems.
** When Spinel introduces herself, both to the Diamonds and to the Crystal Gems, there's instant recognition. Despite Spinel not looking like she did 6,000 years ago--the last time anybody saw her--both Pearl and Blue Diamond recognize her instantly as Pink Diamond's playmate. If there were other Spinels out there, they might assume she was a different Spinel that happened to look a little differently than the standard.

Per WordOfGod, "dissipating one's form" is the term used by the greater Gemkind (used by Eyeball in "Back to the Moon"), meaning that Steven came up with the term "poofing" himself, and the Crystal Gems picked up on it. However, Spinel remarks on how Steven "doesn't poof" when she hits him with the Rejuvenator, which may mean it was a term [[SharedFamilyQuirks his mother came up with as well].

It will be DarkerAndEdgier, have dramatically increased production values, and generally be in the same vein as other movies based off kids shows, such as ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie'', and ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius''. If the film is within the same canon as the TV show, it's possibly a GrandFinale.
