i feel like making a fake leak

Why would you want to make people think you need to pee when you really don't?

We'll be on hiatus through at least the end of September.


The biggest problem with "Onion Gang" was Steven's dialogue. A lot of it seemed redundant and had some really weird delivery from Callison.

The titles of "Tiger Philanthropist" and "Gem Harvest" have leaked, but have yet to air.
And they were leaked so long ago (well over a year) that either one could have been renamed or scrapped.

This was the most childish Steven has sounded in a while.

So I was a bit behind and I'm catching up with what I missed.

Future Boy Zoltron:

...wow. I liked this a lot more than I expected. Mr. Frowny is one of my favorite side characters now. If I'm not mistaken Mr Smiley was confirmed as being gay by Word of God so that adds an interesting possible layer to their relationship.

Huh. So Onion's friends weren't forces of darkness that he summoned from a plane beyond mortal comprehension.

I am... unexpectedly disappointed by that fact.

I expect the current hiatus to last about as long as the one between "Friend Ship" and "Nightmare Hospital"—about two months.

I feel like the fanbase has greatly exaggerated Onion's evil tendencies. Also, I feel like Garnet gave the kids a thumbs-up because she understands their position.

The YMMV page even lists Onion as a creator's pet now.

Like, I haven't seen so much hate for Onion as people being uncomfortable about him, laughing at gags involving him, or joking about him being the spawn of Satan.

Onion is an interesting character just because of how we've learned about him, without him actually changing.

At first he was creepy and silent, and seemed like a very real threat.

Then he turned out to just be a bit off, but ultimately not harmful.

And now we see that he's got friends, and he's not all that creepy. He's just different. He's probably one of my favorite human characters.

I never thought he was evil or anything, just slightly unsettling, but it seemed to be mostly Played for Laughs even when we didn't know much about him. I didn't think he ever meant that much harm by the weird stuff he did.

I mean, he does steal stuff, but part of me wonders if he even knows it's bad.

[up]Pretty much, Onion move between intersting and diferent to...sighly sociopathy, it work in part because is one of the few chararter that dosent change that much, sticking in particular tropes that devolpt personality, and that is okay

He'd have to know it's bad...he just does it anyway, as shown in "Future Boy zoltron"

I'm considering it, but I'm nervous about starting an edit war over it.

If there's a consensus here, you more or less have the right of way if you're really nervous about it. If someone tries to edit war over it you can just refer them to the discussion, or the mods to them if it gets of hand.

Well... officially the consensus is supposed to be on the discussion page, so bring it up there too and then wait a bit.

Still, don't be too nervous about cutting poor examples out of YMMV. More of us should fix-up those pages more often.

In all seriousness, Onion's characterization varies a lot between a Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold and amoral criminal motivated purely by boredom. For chrissake, he shot cars at people—not just gems, he threw one at Greg, even though he'd done nothing at all to Onion.

And the closest thing to any kind of pattern is who's writing the episode. The Lamar Abrams-written episodes after "Onion Trade" (including "Onion Friend" and "Onion Gang") significantly tone down Onion's misdeeds and are pretty much the only ones where he shows sympathetic qualities. In basically every other episode he's appeared in, Onion has remained a comically amoral Enfant Terrible.

Still, don't be too nervous about cutting poor examples out of YMMV. More of us should fix-up those pages more often.
Or do what I do and ignore their existence almost entirely.

That was just an okay episode. Which probably means I'll forget it even exists later on like that one episode with Buck making t-shirts or whatever it was about. See? I can't even remember what the title was!
