First it's the Ghoul School students, now it's Sonic and Tails?
What on Earth is gonna be the next ambitious crossover this show takes on?

I really hope this villain doesn’t get spared. I liked the show a lot, but the diamonds, especially White, being completely spared doesn’t sit well with me at all.
They went from not only ruthless and intimidating villains that gave a feeling of dread from just being mentioned (that scene at the end of The Return still gives me chills), as well as realistic depictions of fascist dictators and the class-based power structures they form, to a bunch of conservative boomer moms who don’t understand their left-leaning son.
I do like that they clarify that the empire was dissolved, and that Steven didn’t just say “Thanks for helping up heal the corrupted gems, now go back to committing galactic genocide and owning slaves.” That does soften that a bit, even if I think the diamonds need retribution for the billions of lives they’ve taken.
I think Steven needs an Android 16 moment, with him being against a ruthless villain who won’t back down no matter his mercy, and for someone who the villain has nearly killed to tell him it is ok to fight for what is right and that some people can’t be reasoned with. This show takes a lot of inspiration from DBZ, and I think this is a place where it would greatly benefit the characters and the narrative to do.
