Sorry to derail, but...

Funko debuts SU Pint Sized Heroes, coming in October. (Scroll past the Batman and Spiderman ones)

I feel the need to point out, JASPER IS THE ONLY GEM TO HAVE EYELASHES IN THE SHOW, AND YET SHES THE ONE GEM WITHOUT THEM IN THESE FIGURES. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

My hypothesis about Pink Diamond is that Diamonds are built to be extremely durable, their Gems automatically compensating for any physical trauma by surging energy to heal the affected area, making them effectively un-poofable. Unfortunately, this means that doing enough damage can overload and damage their gem. Basically, according to this, there was literally no other way to deal with Pink Diamond outside of shattering her.

[up][up][up] She got sucked into Meat Beat Mania because it fed her constant praise, not that it presented a challenge in any way, shape or form. She smirks whenever anyone tells her that she's great and just goes "Yeah", and Sugilite and Sardonyx are both extremely arrogant fusions and while Amethyst and Pearl have their own issues that contribute to that (inferiority complex/perfectionim and neurosis), Garnet has to contribute to those attitudes herself, doesn't she?

I don't think it has to have anything to do with a Diamond not poofing. Basically, Pink was shattered because Earth was her colony, and presumably her first. Pink wasn't going to leave due to her pride and because it would make her look weak. So as long as Pink Diamond was still alive, she and the other Diamonds weren't going anywhere.

If they poofed and bubbled her, then the Diamonds would just change it to a rescue mission. They'd be less likely to retreat, because then a Diamond would remain captured, and they can't plant something like the Cluster (which, IMO, was created as a response to Pink's death), because that would shatter Pink when it emerged.

Shattering Pink Diamond, however, makes Homeworld continuing to fight for Earth have costs that outway the benefits.

To be fair, Sardonyx is more "smug" than "arrogant". Sardonyx is the Colbert to Sugilite's O'Reilly.

Also, why the fuck was Sardonyx putting down Smoky Quartz's Yo-Yos? What the fuck was she talking about? Literally every fusion's weapons are just the other two weapons put together.

Mallet: Fists plus spear

Flail: Fist plus whip.

Bow and arrows: Whip plus spear (and the lasers Pearl shoots out of it)

She wasn't talking it down so much as expecting something besides that. Which, admittedly, is still weird. I mean, Sugilite's thing is being strong, that's hardly unique.

Also, how is Smoky Quarts weaker than Garnet? They obliterated Jasper, when Garnet couldn't do it by throwing Jasper into the ship's reactor and basically DROPPING HER FROM ORBIT?!

Well they really didn't. They just took Jasper by surprise with some Yo-yo tricks.

Oh really when?

The test was a measure of raw physical strength, whereas Smoky Quartz beat Jasper more through use of their weapon.

I can buy Smoky being physically weaker than Garnet. Physical strength isn't really their thing.

The only physical attack they did to Jaspee was a flip-kick...that doesn't really indicate much.

And when they tried a second time, they placed equal to Garnet.

Considering the scale started at Pearl...does that mean she's stronger than Amethyst?

That's odd.

It means the exact opposite: it starts with Pearl because she's the weakest (again, just in raw power), barring Peridot and maybe Sapphire. It doesn't list everyone because they didn't want to crowd it.

I have a sinking feeling that we're going to see one of the gems shattered very soon (likely making a heroic sacrifice).

But she barely hit higher than Pearl on their first swing...if those ruler lines mean anything, that would mean not trying full force would put him in the Amethyst range.
