That's the exact opposite of what the OP quote is about retard

It makes more sense to hear that from Garnet than Pearl. Pearl wasn't motherly at all, she didn't even handle baby Steven and thought about killing him by ripping his gem out.
This motherly Pearl stuff needs to stop.

>>92225334
Pearl definitely took up a more nurturing mom-ish role as Steven grew. Garnet is the one that hands out wisdom and helps him actualize himself, Amethyst is the one who has fun with him, Pearl is the one who supports him.

If Steven had gone to school, Pearl is the one who would have gone to every school play.

Pearl did go to Steven's play.

>>92225487
I forgot how cute porl was

>>92225367
She left him for dead on the edge of a cliff. She's not motherly. She's supporting Steven because she's in love with Rose. With Pearl I get more of a "grooming an heir" vibe than an actual mother. Like if I had to guess which if any of the gems would abuse Steven in any way, hands down it would be Pearl.

>>92225713
>Implying Amethyst wouldn't abuse Steven once he hits puberty and starts looking more like his father, causing her weird obsession with Greg to resurface.

>>92225334
This.

But all the crystal gems were shit care takers.

>>92225521
Probably because she's had 2 lines in the last dozen episodes

>>92225843
Garnet at least tries. She even has been rather civil with Greg

>>92225713
Again, you continue to be a moron. Being a pretty shitty person with mental and emotional problems and being the most motherly of all the crystal gems are not at all exclusive, hell did you even fucking watch the movie the OP is referencing?

>>92226007
Being a good person=/=being a good caretaker, and Garnet does not typically act that fashion towards Steven.

No fucking way. Really?

>>92226117
If you think leaving a child for dead makes a good mom, you got some issues, pal. Furthermore Garnet has clearly outclassed Pearl as caretaker and Amethyst too for what little they do. Steven does most of the caretaking by himself and has to teach the gems about the human world.

Pearl ain't motherly. She's a crazy chick obsessed with a dead chick.

>>92224852
mommy not mom

daddy not dad

>>92226181
Eh, she wasn't completely clear about whether it would kill Steven or not, and both Garnet and Pearl previously indicated their preference for getting Rose back in lieue of Steven, it's just Amethyst thought it was shapeshifting and Garnet thought it was fusion.

Don't downplay this dude. The other gems missed Rose but they were not going to the extent of considering killing the baby to get her back, and were more than willing to wait things out to see if Rose would return or stop shapeshifting on her own. Pearl was actually down to try and dismember baby Steven due to her Rose obsession.

In the episode she basically throws the baby away. Pearl hates babies. She's not motherly.
Also while true the other gems didn't say anything, none of them actually tried to dismember the fucking baby. That's on Pearl.

also,yon du was an even worse parent than pearl,literally being an abusive dick since day one,and he managed to say that line.

And that's Yondu.
In the SU timeline, Pearl literally left Steven for dead on the edge of a cliff within the past year after she had to come to terms with the fact that Rose and Steven are actually separate people.
She doesn't care about Steven like a mother cares about a son. She genuinely about Rose and for the longest has been dealing with Steven as a means to an end. When that Rose identity was questioned, she started questioning if she should even value Stevens life. That should be enough to let you know where she falls on the "motherly" scale.

>>92227440
She isn't motherly.

>>92227555
Give her time. It took Yondu 20 years to finally let Peter out of the house to be his own man. Granted, things went to hell a few months later, but still, it's the thought that counts.

i have an aunt that suffers from mental problems and sometimes she just breaks stuff when shes stressed out and says insulting things to us. its fucked up but i know she loves me and feels terrible when she does these sort of things.
Pearl does love steven and after that episode, she acknowledges him as his own person. After roses scabbard,there isnt an episode about him hating steven.

her trying to take out stevens baby gem was before she became motherly tho. and she didnt know what she was doing,and even then she realized it was wrong.
She neglected steven just as much as the other gems on the first episodes, and with each passing episode she grew closer with him, like the other gems.
And the projection of rose, yeah its fucked up, but its not as big as the times she geniuenly cares about him. Other than roses scabbard and sworn to the sword, she hasnt done that. The love for him is more powerful than the projection.
Her motherly moments overthrow her fucked up ones.

Why should I continue a conversation with someone who hasn't watched the past two seasons but pretends that he does? Supporting Steven in Mindful Education and having that conflict with him in S4 before saving him from Blue Diamond is easily more than what Pearl's done for him (most of her recent episodes were just for herself!). I guess if you find Pearl dealing with the same thread from season 1 "interesting" that's your prerogative, sure.

Why? It's pretty clear she loves Rose more than she cares for Steven. It shows with her interactions with both him and Greg. She had an obsession.
Admittedly, it's getting better now that she thinks of Steven as being something Rose left behind that she needs to protect instead of something thats hiding Rose from her, but she still clearly has her issues with Rose and thus Steven, and it still shows with how she acts around Greg. See the episode where Greg became a millionaire and they take a trip to the city.

Meanwhile Pearl does what in 2 seasons? A song with Greg and then a date with some human? At least the things Garnet is doing is relevant to Steven. In fact, I'm quite sure Garnet helped a lot more rescuing Greg than Pearl did! Pearl just stood around and FAILED to hack a door.

I'll post this from the other thread but here's my take on it; Pearl really tries to be motherly, you can tell she fills in the traditional mother role among the three original CG. She's strict, she does the house chores, she tells Steven what he can do and we he can't do, she's overportective of Steven too and there is even an episode where she calls Steven "my baby".
And there is an obvious reason why in Steven's dream sequence, it is Pearl who appears as the mother figure and not Garnet or Amethyst. In my opinion, Garnet is more like the cool aunt and Amethyst like the big sister.
Pearl has changed a lot over the course of the show, and I don't think it's a far fetched stretch to say that she deeply loves Steven and would even thorw her life away for him.

>>92228283
>the question is who is more interesting.
Your criteria is all over the place! First it's "How much have they done" and now it's "How many episodes are about them"? Garnet doesn't need episodes to be exclusively about her, episodes like the one about Amethyst reforming and Steven not listening to her and getting Greg kidnapped build on her character in ways you clearly fail to appreciate without forcing her to hog the limelight like SOME characters need to do.

>>92228228
Rather that than the one who did the act.
>>92228198
That just means the crew is full of terrible writers, or a handful of them probably come from some bad homes and have some kind of stockholm syndrome and can't discern clear abuse.

the comparison to guardians is moot because yon du´s final speech was fucking awful.hell,all his dialogue on the climax was him pointing out the character arcs right to the audience.

Aw.

I'm a Pearl fan but I won't try to excuse her actions. I just think that what she is now, shows that she was willing to forgive, forget (Rose), move on, and love Steven and even Greg. I think she is an amazing character with flaws and all.

>>92228499
i also agree that pearl has done some pretty shitty things but i dont doubt she loves steven after roses scabbard.this whole argument that she really doesnt love steven is stupid.she has shown that he does and people who say she doesnt havent really seen the show.

Garnet is literally the only good influence Steven has. It's sad

>>92230398
I dunno, I'ld say Greg is pretty alright. O mean, he's not exactly successful, but he is mentally stable and humble.

>>92228017
"Any time with Steven makes for a delightful evenin'!"

Massive issues with Greg and Rose, yes. But she loves Steven for Steven, too.

>>92228301
I think the point of Pearl is that she tries to be motherly to fill a void, but she sucks at it and isn't meant to be that role for Steven. She appears that way in Steven's dream because that's how she always tried to act.

The idea that Pearl is the most like his mom is dumb. I don't think Steven sees her as a mother. Most of the time he's dealing with her emotional problems and not the other way around. Garnet's more the steady one who inspires and encourages Steven to grow and make his own choices, though she's also protective of him. Dismissing her as the cool aunt and Amethyst as that schlubby sister is why people get annoyed at Pearlfags calling her the real mom of the group.

Pearl is the Textbook definition of a bad single mother. If it wasn't for Garnet and Greg, Steven would either grow up a loony, a gangbanger, or a tumblrite.

>>92231349
She is a typical, neurotic overbearing white woman who thinks she is better than others. Compared to chill negress Garnet and lackadaisical spic Amethyst.

>>92231349
A show about single mom Pearl would be terrifying to watch. The viewer would always be on the edge of their seat wondering how Pearl would abuse Steven that episode, and every episode would end with a credit sequence where Pearl is holding a bottle of vodka and staring at Roses portrait.

Would make a good depressing comic series desu.

>>92231450
>chill negress Garnet
The problem that idea is that
1. Garnet isn't chill, she's just un-emotive
& 2. I don't think there is such a thing as a chill black mother,

Garnet is more like a stoic, "tough-love", father figure if anything. She seems calm And uncaring on the outside, but on the inside furiously trying to calculate the way to set Steven on the right path for himself. The Problem with that is that She's an Ayyy and Steven is a Hybrid abomination, she even with seer powers she has no idea what the right path is.

>Stoic father figure
>Calm and uncaring
Bitch she's cute as fuck with Steven. She outwardly tells him he loves him more than any of the other gems.

>>92232594
I would welcome something like this. Some secret organization maybe that's been reverse engineering all the gem tech that's been lying around IN THE OPEN ALL OVER THE FRICKIN' PLANET to build up an anti-gem arsenal.

Some competent humans in general would be nice. But that would require extra effort put forth into the narrative on the team's part so I doubt it'll happen.

I just want to see the look on one of those smug gems face when they get shut down by a person. Connie's too young so she's out of the question.

How effectively would a Noisy Cricket be against a Gem?

Why doesn't the boy live with his father

>>92233002
Greg's proven to stunt Steven's emotional state on multiple occasions which have hindered his abilities. Better that he stays with the gems.

>>92233161

If he lived with him normally that wouldn't happen

>Living out of a car with an emotionally unstable guy that works at a car wash.

It would happen.

>>92233315
All due to circumstance, his heart's in the right place but that doesn't change the situation. Steven's better off in the huge ass hill side house like it or not.

I've been wishing for a Gem X-Com since Jasper's ship arrived and blew up. It always pained me that fucking Ronaldo was the Only human who reconized the significance of these techno-magical Ayys running around on earth and the Galaxy.

Unfortunately, this show is less about shit happening and more about discussing fee-fees, so that shit'll never happen.

It would be nice to see the Earth having someone else to save it from invasion besides a kid who cries at the drop of a hat, and his adopted parents who all have issues.

Maybe the Barnyard Gems will be what we need. It has the only other team member that gets shit done.

>>92225309
She would not have.

She's very selfish.

>>92227962
Yeah but she still tried to kill him. And if she had killed him and somehow brought back Rose then Rose would have shattered her.

>secret anti-Gem government black ops agents who have been studying the CGs and other Gem artifacts without Steven's knowledge
>increased sightings of Gems from Homeworld cause them to go into action and kidnap Steven

P. gud, except it would end up with Steven talk-no-jutsuing these guys out of it plus he'd demonstrate that Homeworld is a lot bigger and stronger than the CGs since it would turn out that the government Gem taskforce is only equipped to deal with Gems from 5000 years ago. Then they would fuck off and Steven would keep being the center of the show.

You guys are basically asking for a 1-2 episode anti-villain who fucks off without doing anything truly substantial.

>>92233315
Greg sucks as a dad because it's a weird situation where Steven is raised by his "aunts" and his dad lives nearby on the beach. Greg doesn't actually have the hard responsibility to constantly watching over and raising Steven so he's even more of the stereotypical lax immature cooldad since despite having a son he never had to fully grow up to take care of him since other people do it for him. If Greg had had to be a primary caretaker he'd probably be more competent overall.

I find it odd how when SU as in the show gets brought up on /co/ you all seem to throw a shit fit.
But when its about Pearl suddenly your all chill and discussing stuff.
Why is /co/ so chill with Pearl?

>>92234862
I know, and that's what's so sad about it. The show is so obsessed with Steven uniting enemies with his deluge of tears and whiny preaching, it really starts to grate after a while.

>>92234862
I never said I wanted some anti-gem organization that would be stupid because that would require them to have orbital defenses because a simple solution to countering organics is just slinging a giant rock at the planet. Which would retcon a bunch of things that have happened so far.

I wanted a battle competent human that could take on a gem in combat due to battle experience. Just someone that isn't a gem that looks down on humans for a change. I don't consider that to be Connie because she's a child. It would be interesting to see and interesting to see that person interact with assholes like Pearl that shit on humans constantly, I'm not saying throw away the diplomatic themes of the show I just wouldn't mind some added elements to make the show and it's characters more interesting.

>>92234925
Because she is the best gem

>>92234925
Because she is worst gem

Nah. Not THICC enough.

>>92224859

Pearl confirmed for being the ultimate lifeform?

>>92228926
I always thought of the gems as Mother(Pearl), Aunt(Garnet) and big sister(Amethyst)

>>92235060
>>92235148
Pearl is the Alpha and the Omega.

I would pay good money to see Jotaro beat the shit out of Steven.

>>92235648
I would pay good money to see Jotaro have adventures with the gems, especially if Joseph was there too. Joseph is the best.

>>92235648
>duhh characters I like would totally beat up characters I don't.

>>92234969
So basically you're complaining that JK Rowling said "lol but wizard magic is way above even a nuke"? The whole author's pet special race of beings will always be superior in every way to humans and you know the author dresses up as their favorite character when they're alone and pretends they're a wizard/gem.

>>92235804
I prefer the more technical side of combat than the magical side. A battle competent human wouldn't mean too much in the face of larger scale things but it would open the doors for opportunity on what humans are capable because besides Connie they've been punching bags so far. Not saying I want a human that can straight up get in a fist fight with a gem, that's silly. A competent fighter though that can use agility to try and counter gems though? With weapons? I'd like that, be a neat addition to the team plus it would give Steven an opportunity to bond with another human and perhaps experience a different perspective on things.

I don't mind the magical aspect, there's ways around that. There always is.

>>92226370
Nah, it'd be Mama.

>>92233002
The gems kidnapped him

steven's penis

>>92232983
It'd obliterate their physical forms and shatter their gems into powder.

Pearl pulls off "rail thin" extremely well.

>>92225521
Blame the hiatus and focus on the townies.

Pearl is by far best Gem,

>>92236636
Nah it would just end up like I said the government guys would except it would be like

>hurr durr when I wuz a kid I almost got hurt by a gem monster out in the woods n sheeit
>now i hunt them

And then Steven has to convince him that the crystal gems and the corrupted gems aren't the same while this guy goes toe to toe with them. Bonus points for peridot making some snarky comment about him being a dumb human.

I really hope it wouldn't, be a big waste of potential. Though this show really does do that a lot so you're probably right.
