> Speaking of beards and manes, I wonder if they ever considered having Greg become the pink Zombie instead of Lars. Aquamarine never really found "My Dad".

They probably considered a scenario where Aquamarine found Greg,but then it would be the zoo arc all over again,I feel like their decision was based off "It has someone close to Steven,but not family," Connie is one possible candidate for the pink zombie treatment,as well Sadie,Jamie...Onion would have been interesting,he may even have had a reason to speak thanks to much needed character development

In slightly related news, it turns out Rebecca Sugar sings the ending theme for OK KO!

Considering she and Ian are dating, I'd be surprised if she had zero involvement with OK KO.

Steven's ability to resurrect the dead effectively takes the wind out of any heroic sacrifices in a finale showdown, unless it's either a gem or somebody gets straight up vaporized. I do like the idea of Steven reviving Greg and Greg just sprouts a full head of hair.

I can't see any future humans making heroic sacrifices. Connie specifically had an episode to her breaking out of this mindset and I can't see Greg being close enough to the action to make that call. If anyone in the future is killed off (which I find unlikely) I think it will be a Gem.

Yeah, TBH I think the main reason Lars was revived instead of Greg was that his Dad dying would have been too dark.

Why is that darker than a younger character dying?

Because then he's an orphan

Really,it's really obvious why losing a parent would be considered really dark,especially in a show no has died up to that point

[up][up]Because Greg's his Dad, and also closer to him than Lars is. Plus he already has a lot of parental figure hang-ups with his Mom, already. Feeling responsible for his Dad being a Pink Zombie would likely scar him even more.

Yes but Greg as an interstellar teleporting magical bard guy.

Are you really considered an orphan if your dad is revived as a talking, pocket dimensioning zombie?

We're assuming the writers in that case would do that

They might feel his death has to have a lasting impact,so his tears don't bring Greg back,think in the lion king when Simba sees his father die

Not really sure if Lars and Lion count as zombies. Lars' heart is still beating, it's just beating way slower now. And he may or may not need to eat and sleep anymore.

Pink Zombie is more fun though. Even Steven and Lars said it in the show.

Do you think Lars likes this new change? I think it's very likely he is now immortal, so...that's KIND of a big deal. His parents will probably be outraged that Steven got him into this mess and drastically altered his biology.

[up][up][up]I took that scene as him not having a heartbeat at all and Steven only trying to reassure Lars he wasn't actually a zombie.

That being said I feel like if somebody does bite the dust we'll have a wacky Rose Quartz lesson about the beauty of mortality and how it's good that people die sometimes.

That being said said I definitely feel like considering how things are going at least one character is going to try to pull off a Heroic Sacrifice. Whether or not it works depends on how much Sugar wants us to feel 'hurt'.

It might be that the healing tears only worked when they very near death instead of being completely dead,hence the slow heartbeat

That's one possible way you could limit healing tears solve everything problem
