[up][up][up][up]Whatever's in that envelope, let's just say that it's hands down the nicest thing Marty will ever do in the show, even if he was legally obligated to do so.

I guess Greg's music really was popular.

It just took a while.

I figured Marty wasn't being totally sincere, but I was still kind of hoping this episode would at least take him from being the complete scumbag he was in his first appearance and turn him into a more run-of-the-mill douche. Ah well. Rose knows if we'll ever see him again.

Am I the only one who found Marty's voice kind of jarring? He sounds way younger than he looks.

....TO MILLION DOLLARS?! How popular WAS Greg?

Also that "Yellowdad" bit was sweet.

This was an ok episode. Sour Cream is cool. I just hope the money lasts more than a few episodes.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

It was amusing to hear Sour Cream talk in his stepdad's language. grin

Damn this was sad. Marty is still an ass. Greg really wasn't embellishing anything in his story, he was being 100% sincere. Its worse here cause he also hurt his own son, damn man. sad

ANALYSIS:

It's a bit disappointing to see Marty get away scot free, but he really didn't. He's going to be running himself into the ground soon, it seems. He was completely alone on his tour bus, so whatever bridges he had, he's apparently burned them all. And he's gone from being however successful in the music business to attempting to sell horrible soda.

I always thought that the reason Yellowtail didn't want Sour Cream to be a DJ is because he didn't want to see him in the same occupation his father was. But seeing Sour Cream stand up to Marty might have made Yellowtail see that, even if he did go into the music business, Sour Cream would never end up like Marty, so he gave Sour Cream his DJ equipment back.

Oh, and ten million dollars. That's pretty cool. That must have been a big lawsuit. I wonder why Greg was never involved in that, despite being the recipient of the money awarded

Some of the episodes focusing on the townsfolk aren't bad, but it's hard to think of much to say about them. I'm not complaining that each episode isn't a masterpiece that will stick out in your mind for years to come, just making an observation.

I guess Marty still owned the copyright to Greg's songs, makes sense since Greg just left him without doing any legal jargon. Though its obvious Marty's under financial problems if he's marketing a horrible soda.

My main theory is that the recording company JUST figured out Marty was marketing a multi-million dollar album without the permission of the original artist, made him give the check to Greg, and then fired him and/or made him be the head of marketing a terrible soda.

It makes sense that Greg never got anything cause he just straight up left Marty to live in a small town. Greg was prolly really hard to find & obviously quit in his new life so Marty took advantage of that.

Might have been a class action lawsuit from multiple artists, and they got one of Greg's songs involved as evidence somehow.

Heh, yeah. That seemed like less of a Steven Universe joke and more of a Spongebob joke. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

I always thought people were exaggerating about how horrible Marty is when we saw like 90 seconds of him and in the same episode, Greg literally followed an attractive stranger to her home and ditched his career to chase fluffy pink tail. But yeah...Marty doesn't have much to him besides dickishness it seems.

His voice actor is 49. So is Sour Cream's, actually.

Ya know we can all take comfort in the fact, Greg most likely would have been successful if he really did go after his dream of being a musician.
