I don't think this would actually work. I mean I'm

Yeah, they fucked up. I don't know why nobody pointed out that this is absolutely not how physics works.

They drive home their fuck up by having Steven be absolutely fine once he got toward the center though

>>92246525
It's a cartoon you autist

>>92246648
I mean, that could be explained by Steven's gem adapting to the change in forces.

I know that the moon episode says he doesn't, but who knows, maybe he's developing more gem powers.

>>92246648
That's because Steven touched the thing that wasn't spinning and stopped spinning.
The flashlight was still spinning.
I'm going to draw something for you to demonstrate what was happening.

>>92246895
Pointing out that a joke reliant on physics breaks physics is not autistic. Although someone who nitpicks it might be. Laughing at the joke however, does make the laugher stupid.

That's not how momentum works.

>>92247910
No, you'll see what I'm talking about. Doug's "throw it at an angle" idea was the correct one, and from the perspective of Doug what was shown would be what happened.

>>92247954
You said "the flashlight was still spinning", meaning you think the flashlight somehow had curved momentum and would continue to follow a curved path until something made it go straight.

>>92248040
It still had the instantaneous spin velocity when Doug threw it so it missed the center console, but it looked like it fell away. This doesn't work if the console is actually not spinning as was shown several seconds later. Basically cartoons are retarded and for babies.

>>92248088
So to be clear, you are NOT claiming it was correct to show the flashlight stopping in midair and then going backward, right?

>>92248135
I am in fact claiming that was correct, from the perspective of Doug. Contemplate, for a moment, the distance d between the flashlight and the console as the flashlight travels along its path. You will quickly realize that this distance rapidly shrinks in the beginning, but slows as it approaches the midpoint of its arc, before slowly growing as it passes the console, then quickly growing as the angle of d and the flight path increases.

>>92248253
>from the perspective of Doug
I'm asking from the perspective of the console as shown here >>92246525

>>92248311
Is the console spinning as shown during aforementioned joke or stationary as is shown moments later when Steven jumps towards it?

>>92248334
I assume it is stationary because there was dialogue stating it is.
Would there actually be a moment when, from the reference frame of the stationary console, the flashlight's linear momentum is 0?

>>92248377
No, Doug fucking whiffed

>>92248392
Then the OP image is wrong and that's the ONLY thing I'm claiming.

>>92248452
If the console was spinning then exactly what was shown would have happened, so they were halfway there.

How?

I assumed there was cartoonish embellishment involved and didn't think too hard about it.

It's sensible to be concerned about people drawing wrong conclusions but I don't even know enough about physics to do that, I don't have the vocabulary to form incorrect notions about what the scene is meant to represent.

>>92248723
I don't know what you're trying to say here. The perspective of a spinning console is the same perspective of that of Doug.

>>92246525
objects accelerate towards the center within in a rotation force!
what is this shit
what is centripetal acceleration!

>>92249074
Yes, Doug and Steven and Connie were accelerating towards the center. The flashlight was not accelerating at all, discounting gravity (because we're looking at it from the top) and air resistance (because fuck that shit)

It really didn't help that "oh no, the laws of physics!" was literally the punchline for it. Why would the crewniverse even have a meta joke like that when they themselves clearly have no idea how it works?

>>92249594

It really boggles my mind that a cartoon like this takes thousands of hours of collaborative effort to produce and air, and shit like this still happens. I love SU but it's full of some pretty bad fuckups that could have been avoided if someone along the line just said "this looks wrong."

I bet if you compared the list of major consistency or animation errors in Homestar Runner to Steven Universe, SU's ratio of errors to episodes would be larger by far. That's really weird when you consider that HR was made by two guys in their spare time. I think something is wrong with the production pipeline of SU. They either have no editors whatsoever or Sugar is trying to be the editor for everything and not catching a lot of mistakes.

They thought it would work exactly like a YoYo.
