Even before having the context in the movie, it was clearly delivered with a real desperate hopefulness.

People compare Spinel to Dee Dee and Jenny. How come nobody brought up Mister Fantastic or Majin Buu?

The first thing I thought of when I saw her was Plastic Man, and after seeing the movie, that was pretty much accurate.

[up][up]The lack of comparisons to Mr. Fantastic likely stem from the fact that he's spent most of his publishing history as a science guy that happens to be able to stretch.

She makes me think of Bass and Mr. Mime design-wise, the latter for classic Spinel especially. I've also seen people compare her to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (specifically his Epic Mickey incarnation), and one I completely get behind.

The only description I will accept for Spinel is Mickey and Luffy put through a Cuphead blender, I will not accept otherwise.

I've also seen a few comparisons to Harley Quinn, probably due to the pigtails and accent. And I've definitely seen people making Cuphead boss comparisons.

Her stretching antics certainly remind me of Jake the dog

She's a bit more Fleischer-esque than Disney-esque, imo.

I'm certain most of the comparisons I'd made/heard of Spinel were to the aforementioned Dee Dee and Jenny (hairstyle) and Luffy (powerset).

It’s a power fantasy as much as killing the Diamonds would have been

That you can march up to someone and tell them to shape their shit up and then they do

I do kinda wonder about how people think executions and such are the mature response ._.

At least it’s not like they’re inviting the Diamonds to hang out and live with them

They’re not Vegetaing them

[up][up] Kill the evil person and all will suddenly be better? Which is also incredibly unrealistic, might I add.

^^Steven's reaction to them in movie seems to be pretty put off too [lol]

^Yep. The route the show took is the harder one, I'd say "just put them in space jail or execute them!" come across as rather naive for multiple different reasons <_< (like, so uh, does anyone in the cast even have right to judge and execute people? :P We don't generally recommend teenagers to start doing that)

Weird that someone thinks Avatar handled this better.

^Its kind of the "moving a goal post" thing in a way, but in reverse I suppose [lol] Like Avatar got flack for "not having guts" to kill Ozai tongue So this like "Pfft, they didn't even put them in jail"

with Avatar, it's not so much Aang didn't kill Ozai; so much as the show gave him a convenient excuse for not being able to in the form of Spiritbending.
