That'd still be an old man, mang.

Unless Marty's an unaging Snerson.

I'm pretty sure he was older due to all those lines on his face...he'd be like late 40's - early 50's at worst.

Oh, that's gonna be a stone cold bummer if the conclusion to Marty coming back is that he's better off alone. Like Garnet's lesson of "some people can't be helped" in Message Received is going to apply to him.

Garnet was mostly echoing Steven in that episode, because he was starting to get disillusioned, then Peridot went and proved him right.

Gotta say though I find it weird that Marty is the place where we draw the line and say "some people just never change for the better".

Old enough to be dead in 50 years. According to him.

Oh really when?

He'd be 42 or older...

Early 40s.

In "Steven's Birthday", he said he was 22 when he met the Crystal Gems. 22 years + Sour Cream's age (I wager 17 or 18 by now) + 9 month = about 40

He was with Rose until he started losing his hair, which according to word of Rebecca was in his early 30's. So let's say he was 32 when Steven was born, so around 46, possibly.

[up]That's assuming Sour Cream was conceived...ahem...just off-screen in that episode, but Amethyst did know Farty Marty as someone who was dating Vidalia so they could have been seeing each other for a number of years rather than a one-night stand.

On the other hand, Marty seen older than Greg so 50-ish is probably right.

""They bring out the worst in each other" is not really a great reason not to be together, it just sounds like an excuse not to improve as a person. You don't resolve your issues by keeping them inside. "

but it also mean your personalities are clashing and make you angry rather than happy, thing keystone motel where Saphire coldness and Ruby brashness make them Slipt, Lars and Saddie have to improve themselve before they get anything close, for me that is where Steven come alone

wild mass guess Sadie will decide that each of her two boyfriends is half the man she needs and so will have Steven fuse Lars and Ronaldo together for her.

So the complaint is screentime and not horrific disregard for human rights that casts the All-Loving Hero as a Complete Monster?

Unfortunately the corruption in the gem shard Steven steals from his own house for this will be too great and so this "Leonardo" fusion won't be quite human, but more of a humanoid turtle who ponders his cruel fate until resorting to his new fighting skills to save Sadie from ninjas. [lol]

I recall Steven being understandably terrified the entire time that was happening.

I'm assuming that Drop Beat Dad will involve Sour Cream, Marty, and Yellowtail, but I think Greg will also show up.

I'm half hoping that even if Marty turns out to be an unpleasant person, he ends up having a little more nuance than he showed in Greg's flashback. A few have speculated that Greg may have remembered him to be worse than he really was.

It just seems strange for this show to have a character like him. Even Mayor Dewey, who was initially portrayed as you typical scummy politician, was given sympathetic traits along the line.

Well, Marty's appeared a grand total of one (1) time in the show, unlike Mayor Dewey, who's a recurring character.

Plus Marty's one appearance was Greg telling a story from his perspective, so it's not too hard to believe he exaggerated Marty in it at least a little.
