History NightmareFuel / StevenUniverseTheMovie

** Also, her ''DeathGlare'' while she says this [[https://s265.photobucket.com/user/love_ookami/media/spinel%20deathglare_zpspixw3uvs.jpg.html needs to be seen to be believed.]] Hard to believe it's the former innocent and happy Spinel capable of such an expression, and you'd forgive any character less brave than Steven for crapping themselves at the sight along with this line.

** Spinel’s rubber hose animation during combat in general. The way she fights and moves is like some deranged fusion between [[Anime/OnePiece Luffy]], [[Anime/SoulEater Maka]], and an old-time cartoon character gone wrong. It doesn’t help that the latter has also gone mad and wields a scythe in a scarily sinister manner...

* Ruby nearly gets shattered by a giant anvil, and refusing to move because it would mean disrupting Sapphire's vision.

* During the VillainSong, Pearl vocally realizes who Spinel is, but no one else knows her. When Steven asks her to explain, Spinel visibly '''''[[BerserkButton snaps]]'''''. [[DeathGlare If looks could kill...]]

* After managing to get Ruby and Sapphire to fuse into Garnet, and Steven is heading out to look for Amethyst, Spinel tries to come along. But when Steven tells her to ''[[BerserkButton wait and how he'll be right back]]'', Spinel ''snaps'' and briefly flashes to her darker self as she practically snarls: "'''''NO!!''''' ", thankfully she reverts back quickly, but it's worth noting that none of the other gems have reactions to similar deep memory things; Pearl doesn't even react to the sight of Rose, but Spinel is the only one who reacts to Steven bringing up something (even if he didn't know at the time), despite her having no memory of the event it's tied to. The implication that her trauma and damage is so deeply seeded that not even IdentityAmnesia can get rid of it is deeply unsettling.

[[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Steven Universe]] [[NightmareFuel/StevenUniverse is no stranger to]] NightmareFuel, but for the MadeForTVMovie, [[Creator/RebeccaSugar Sugar]] and co. decided to up the ante with a new threat: Spinel, an absolutely ''[[AxCrazy psychotic]]'' Gem who's arguably responsible for this page ''[[KnightOfCerebus all on her own.]]''

* Ruby nearly gets shattered by a giant anvil.

* Spinel was never meant to be a warrior Gem, being more of a jester for Pink, but she ''still'' managed to be one of the most dangerous opponents the Crystal Gems ever faced, defeating every member of the original group except Steven. How many other Gems can do what she can and become genuinely dangerous threats beyond what the Crystal Gems can deal with?

** It also went completely limp, considering the injector is toxic to organic life, it likely ''was'' necrotic. Greg was effectively running around with a couple of pounds of '''[[NauseaFuel dead flesh]]''' hanging off him. Had Steven not been able to heal him soon afterward, it's entirely possible that Greg's arm would have just straight-up ''fallen off''.

* After managing to get Ruby and Sapphire to fuse into Garnet, and Steven is heading out to look for Amethyst, Amnesia!Spinel tries to come along. But when Steven tells her to ''[[BerserkButton wait and how he'll be right back]]'', Spinel ''snaps'' and briefly flashes to her darker self as she practically snarls: "'''''NO!!''''' ", thankfully she reverts back quickly, but it's worth noting that none of the other gems have reactions to similar deep memory things; Amnesia!Pearl doesn't even react to the sight of Rose, but Spinel is the only one who reacts to Steven bringing up something (even if he didn't know at the time), despite her having no memory of the event it's tied to.

* The trailers for the movie doesn't even begin to describe it. We get an even closer look at the antagonist, but aside from her appearance as well as [[AxCrazy her psychotic laughter and violent tactics against the heroes]], [[NothingIsScarier we still know precious little about her]]- [[FromBadToWorse except for an idea of what her plans are]]. She makes her grand debut by crashing down onto Beach City with a ''huge'' Injector- and it apparently has enough to destroy Earth all on it's own, as Peridot states that the Crystal Gems have ''[[RaceAgainstTheClock less than two days]]'' before all life on Earth is destroyed. Her main objective from doing this? '''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Kill Steven.]]'''
