At first I thought "What dumbass thought it was a good idea to have a marathon about Onion?", but then I remembered that Sour Cream is his brother, which makes the idea marginally more acceptable.

Sour Cream isn't generally around in Onion episodes though.

[up]Austin meant the block didn't have to just be episodes about Onion (which there are only really three of), but any member of his family.

But then that would mean re running "Drop Beat Dad" and that episode sucks.

"Drop Beat Dad" has two saving graces that I can think of.

One is that Marty does have the realistic reaction to how strong Steven is. That was one of those things I had been wondering - is Beach City just used to how strong he is? (Yes, yes they are.)

Two, it set up "Mr. Greg," and that episode was superb.

No one besides the Cool Kids would be aware how strong Steven is...as his displays of above average strength in the fluff only appear in episodes with them.

I kinda feel an appropriate Hand Wave is needed there, like plenty of people have probably seen Steven do some impressive physical stunts here and there, even if the only time we see him show it off is in front of the cool kids. Namely, is it reasonable that, at some point or another, he would have shown off some level of Super-Strength in front of the local residents? Sure.

More precisely, he tore off a peripheral and used it as a bludgeon to break the screen. Depending on the construction, that could vary from relatively easy to humanly impossible.

No need, because it's been firmly established that the humans don't give a shit when they encounter alien stuff. Steven could sprout a second head with purple skin, and they'd probably just be mildly confused by it.

@51009 I more meant the audience in general needs to Hand Wave that Beach City knows that Steven is super-strong. It's one of those details that the show itself can elide.

32 Footsteps seems to be saying that scene made it clear everyone knows about Steven's Super-Strength, and he's glad that was clarified.

Don't know what that has to do with a Hand Wave, it's just answering a question about what things which characters know.

Fixed for you.

Also, the Off-color Gems also noted Steven's strength, so it's unusual even for a Gem.

[up][up]Or maybe those off-colors were just weak...

Because Steven still can't actually compare to the CGs in strength.

But apparently Gems can get stronger because CG Pearl does stuff...

But it didn't seem like they could move that rock until Steven helped...like it didn't move until Steven started pushing.

It moved a little bit. Currently, Steven is about as physically strong as CG Amethyst.

Which is probably stronger than most gems, because they're both quartzes.

[up] Although Amethyst is an "overcooked" quartz, so she's a good deal weaker than most quartzes.
