, his first video ever, was uploaded on February 18, 2017, two days after his channel was created, and has over 84.9 thousand views.
Tropes used or discussed on this show:
- Another Dimension: In the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem", CometaToon said that after the magic the chemical element gravitationally attracted itself to a singularity and then exploded in the Big Bang, it created a whole new universe in another dimension and then continued to exist in its own dimension.
- Appeal to Popularity: In the video "O que acontece se o Steven morrer?", he admittedly only called the theory of Rose reforming after Steven's death the most likely one, despite not believing in it, simply because it was the most popular among Steven Universe fans.
- Artistic License: CometaToon used it a lot in the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem":
- Artistic License – Chemistry: In his theory, CometaToon said that magic could grant different abilities depending on the element or gemstone the it was exposed to. This doesn't explain why Rubies and Sapphires have such different and unrelated powers and appearances in the series even though they're both varieties of corundum in the real world. The same applies to Aquamarines, Emeralds, Bixbites, Morganites, and Berylsnote and Nephrites and Jadesnote , once again, all with distinct appearances and powers from each other in the series.
- Artistic License – Engineering: He used the fact that Homeworld has advanced technology to justify them being able to transform magic from a gaseous state to a liquid state, implying that condensation is a technology far beyond current (a.k.a. December 2017) human technology. Ignoring the fact that the first laboratory condenser, called the "Gegenstromkühler", was invented in 1771 by the German-Swedish chemist Christian Weigel.
- And that's because he corrected himself in a text box added in the editing room. In the video itself, he said that Homeworld's technology was capable of turning gas into solid (that is desublimation or deposition), something that a sublimation apparatus' cold finger can already do.
- Artistic License – Physics:
- Caused the Big Bang: The magic began to attract itself and was concentrated in a single point, forming a sphere almost like a gas planet with an atmosphere so dense and heavy that its only option was to expand.
- Artistic License – Space: According to him, the Seed was a star large enough to attract other celestial bodies into its orbit, so other smaller planets were attracted to it and ended up creating an orbit, just like the Solar System.note
- The Exact Center of Everything: The center of the universe had a rift connecting the dimension of magic with the normal universe and because of this rift, magic began to leak into "our" universe, at least until this "scar" in space-time closed.
- Space Is Magic: Subverted. Space is magic, but magic is a chemical element.
- Weird Sun: The Seed is a star that could no longer absorb the elements that kept it alive, so it was on the verge of death, but before it died, magic entered in it, making it gain not only several extra years of life but also consciousness.
- Bat Deduction: His theories often rely on this type of logic to reach his desired conclusion:
- In the video "A Stevonnie pode se fundir com outras Gems?" he concluded that Stevonnie could not fuse with any Gem because if they did, the resulting fusion would be half-human, half-Gem, and this couldn't happen because Stevonnie and Smoky Quartz (Steven's only two fusions up to that point) both have the 25/75 ratio in their Gem/human heritage, so obviously that is the only ratio a hybrid fusion could have.
- In the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem", he argued that due to the principle of conservation of energy, Gems cannot generate magic, so their gems are merely receivers/transformers of magic. So far so good, but where did this magic come from? Well, if Gems absorb magic just like we humans breathe oxygen and since oxygen is everywhere we go, therefore magic is also everywhere Gems go.
- In the same video had this combined with A Wizard Did It.CometaToon: A long time ago, the universe was created through an explosion […] and in this explosion, several elements were created through various reactions, hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, everything on the periodic table or even more. But before the Big Bang, there was darkness. No one knows for sure what was there, but what if there was magic?
- In the same video had this combined with A Wizard Did It.
- Content Warnings: Spoofed at the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem".Attention, this theory is built through real scientific arguments together with the logic of the cartoon, I want to remind you that Homeworld has advanced technology and can do a lot of things. Don't give up on the video, because it's the most important of all that I've ever made and it will be the first part of the White Diamond theory that comes out on December 3rd, at least I think so. Read the package insert.
- Played straight in "A origem do Colecionador - Por que ele se parece tanto com o Bill Cipher!?"
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: According to him, the Kindergartens resemble the system of a uterus, with the minerals being the uterus, the magic injected by the Injectors being the sperm and the Earth being the mother's body, because Gems suck the nutrients from the planet just as a baby sucks the nutrients from their mother.
- Doing In the Wizard: He did it twice in the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem".
- Instead of magic being actual magic, in this theory magic is some kind of chemical element, like oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, etc.
- In the middle of the video he implied that he made this theory so that the cartoon would be more scientific rather than fantastic.CometaToon: So look, there's no such thing as magic, it's all science, you know? It's like we saw in the Thor movies, he explains that magic is a science, just more advanced.
- Extradimensional Power Source: Magic is this in Steven Universe, according to him.
- Fake Memories: In "O que realmente aconteceu com a Diamante Rosa?!", CometaToon said that Obelisk
had the power to put fake memories in Gems and used it to make everyone believe the one who shattered Pink Diamond was Rose Quartz instead of Yellow Diamond. - Fan-Created Offspring: His first video ever was theorizing about the possibility of Steven and Connie having a child.
- Fauxshadow: In "A origem do Colecionador - Por que ele se parece tanto com o Bill Cipher!?", he mentioned that he would have two videos (possibly including the aforementioned video) uploaded in that same week and the next one would be long. This was the last video on his channel and there were no previous videos uploaded that same week.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: In the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem", CometaToon has placed at least two small text box corrections that last at most a second and one could easily miss them mainly because the format of his videos encourages their public to watch them like a podcast, without paying much attention to the visuals. This is in stark contrast to the content warning at the beginning of the video, which takes up the entire screen and lasts long enough to be read, although it is not necessary since he narrated the text.
- Inspired by…: In the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem", CometaToon placed a content warning at the beginning of the video stating that the theory was inspired by real-life science as well as Steven Universe's logic.
- The Multiverse: He theorized that perhaps magic in its own reality has created several universes one on top of the other or just smaller dimensions created by few concentrations of magic. Sometimes the explosions were bigger, creating universes bigger than "ours" and other times the explosions were smaller, creating very small universes, the size of a country or a planet.
- Not on the Periodic Table: Magic is apparently a chemical element according to him.
- Original Character: The Seed was created by him.
- Pronoun Trouble: Whenever CometaToon mentioned Stevonnie, the non-binary and intersex fusion between Steven and Connie, he referred to them with the Portuguese equivalent of she/her, "ela/dela", and generally referred to them with feminine words rather than using gender-neutral language.note
- In "A origem do Colecionador - Por que ele se parece tanto com o Bill Cipher!?", CometaToon referred to The Collector from The Owl House in the feminine throughout the video. At the beginning of the video, he placed a content warning, stating that Dana Terrance had posted the same week that The Collector's pronouns were he/him/they/them, and that he even considered re-recording the entire video, but since two videos were scheduled to be uploaded in the same week and the next one would be long, he wouldn't have time to do so. He also conducted a poll, and 96% of voters voted for him to upload the video soon, as it was a very recent revelation.
- Science Is Wrong: In the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem", right after saying that the universe was created with an explosion, CometaToon clarified to his audience that he was using the Big Bang in Steven Universe and did not necessarily believe it in real life.CometaToon: A long time ago, the universe was created through an explosion and before anyone says anything, I'm using the Big Bang theory IN STEVEN UNIVERSE, it doesn't mean I believe in it in real life and such.
- Unscientific Science: In the video "Como as Gems foram criadas? A origem da magia e da vida Gem", how did he explain every time the Gems break the principle of mass/energy conservation by poofing, regenerating, creating weapons/technologies capable of generating energy, and so on? By saying that their gems are connected to an alternate universe made entirely of magic the chemical element and that it not only existed before the Big Bang, but it was also the cause of the Big Bang.
