@Philsat At this point I don't think she cares about her original mission. She really only cares about getting even with Rose and/or getting Lapis back on her side

To be fair, she can't really complete her initial mission right now, having no ship and no pilot and all.

Also the technician she was bodyguarding has defected, and the Cluster has been bubbled.

So there's that.

She hasn't been actually doing her original assignment since we've seen her.

She's not great at following orders.

Her mission was to bodyguard Peridot and protect her.

Peridot's mission was to make sure the Cluster hatched.

[up][up][up]Jasper may not know Peridot has defected. She might even assume Peridot was killed during the crash.

On the other hand, she doesn't really seem to care.

I thought they were there to check on the Cluster and stop those who were interfering with Peridot's work.

Jasper doesn't know any of that though. She's mostly only doing it to get even with Steven, and for the thrill of the fight

Yeah, Jasper's options right now are...

A) become Malachite again, since it felt good (somehow)

B) join the Crystal Gems

C) settle down in a small town in Canada, and become a lumberjack

D) create an army and fight her old war rival again

Option A failed, and D appeals to her blood knight tendencies.

A great episode marred by some awkward animation, like Amethyst's facial expressions, Jasper suddenly having a freakish Yellow Diamond/Alolan Exeggutor/Whatever Meme neck, and Stevonnie's head being disproportionately huge in one shot.

For the first, Amethyst tends to look like that in Raven/Villeco episodes, for the second, YD's neck didn't really bother me and I didn't notice it, for the third...same as the second.

I thought they were there to check on the Cluster and stop those who were interfering with Peridot's work.

You think anybody's noticed the lack of explodey Earth at this point?

Amethyst!! T___T Dangit Jasper! Stop making it hard to like you. Before she gets redeemed I want to see her butt really whooped cuz she deserves it.

I guess I was right about the army thing, Didn't think I would be.

Japser doesn't even know the Cluster was bubbled though, so shouldn't she be expecting the planet to break apart any day now? I guess building an army of corrupted Gems is cool, but was expecting something more, I don't know, sensational.

There was a point during that fight with Jasper where Amethysts just shrugs her off and says, "I've got other stuff going on." I thought it was a great moment, but then Jasper seemed to get under her skin anyway. I really don't like Amethyst's new form. I hope she gets poofed again soon.

This episode just proved to me Jasper's way more entertaining as a threatening villain. Would rather she stay that way.

@LBSK, I'm sure she is, but I dunno why you're questioning my opinion when many people on this thread and every where else believe the same thing about Jasper.

[up]It was more questioning the ideal than you specifically. I get this is very optimistic show, but I don't want it to go "Everyone is good deep down."

Honestly, if this whole series ends with Steven saving the world by making friends with the Diamonds I'm going to be very annoyed.

Jasper makes an excellent recurring villain, I have to agree.

Anyone else concerned about how... weird Amethyst's regeneration looked?

[up] Oh, there's no way in heck it's gonna end with Steven befriending the Diamonds. Considering they are responsible for Homeworld's oppressive social structure, that's definitely not gonna happen. But Jasper isn't one of the Diamonds. So I can see redemption happening at one point for her. To me, she seems similar to how Peridot was before redemption, and I didn't see how she could be redeemed at all, but it happened, so I figure, it'll happen for Jasper, too, I guess. What I'm curious to see is how. It'll be interesting.

I've never been against her staying a villain, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was redeemed instead. Especially considering some of the things the creators have said about her.
