They clearly included whichever ones they thought had good enough jokes for.

Does it feel like less people comment in this thread than there used to be?

I can think of a couple of people who post less than they used to. I miss them.

In fairness, there's less to talk about with less episodes airing.

Yeah, I think this is the longest episode run we've ever had.

Episode-wise, 26 without a hiatus is the longest by far, but calendar-wise it's only two months.

Hey so a thought occurred to me concerning the corrupted forms gems take on

Could it be that the animalistic forms they take on are a form of evolutionary regression?Like the gems race has had long line of evolutionary forms and the corruption happens to revert them to one of their previous forms?

That does have a degree of merit, but not all of them have been animalistic. For now I go with Steven's guess that they've forgotten how to assume their forms and their broken minds are doing the best they can.

That would mean a variety of extremely different lifeforms all happened to have converged upon humanoid form at the same time. I'd like to beleve that level of Hollywood Evolution is a pretty thoroughly Discredited Trope by now.

Plus, for the billionth time, all gems we know of but the Diamonds were created artificially and of a type designed for a specific task. They could have made built the types from pre-existing lifeforms, but... why? What's the advantage of copying a design if you need to completely change every part of it to meet your goal? It's like trying to build a car out of a coffee table.

> What's the advantage of copying a design if you need to completely change every part of it to meet your goal?

Could be a kind of automated process when it comes to creating new gems where no one thought to ask that question

My headcanon is that they take cues from life forms and other things in their surroundings. The gem goes through an unconscious process of "What am I? Well, what else is here? There's something, I must be one of those." It obviously wouldn't be a perfect match, and there's still information about the Gem's real form floating around in there, but it would explain why, for example, the Quartz monsters up above the snow line had bearlike traits, a pufferfish Gem monster came out of the ocean, etc.

The correct answer is...No.

Otherwise, it's like a green-ish yellow color.
