memes asides, it had enough good elements and moments that when you remember it you remember it as something better than what it actually was. At least thats my best guess.
Why do I miss this show when it was objectively really bad and poorly written? >inb4 I have shit taste
Because it wasnt objectively really bad. It had legitimately respectable aspects to it. Or else it wouldnt have been a "thing". Does that mean it was a kubrik film? hell no. There is this thing called degrees and scales. Had a certain enjoyable energy and tone, some of the art was nice, and there was a few entertaining songs.
I'm not sure whether I enjoyed the show, or if I enjoyed watching it with the fandom, pointing out the flaws and enjoying when it actually had good moments
probably the latter

It was dog shit and propaganda, but you do have a reason to miss it.
SU was a mess but it was a fun ride here.
Modern show discussion on this board for the pass couple years has been really fricking weird and I can't explain why.
Terminal contrarianism. You can't like things anymore, you can't be excited for them, you can't be optimistic. Everything is shit, you're shit, shut up and complain.
I didn't cry, but it pulls the heartstrings for sure. Just watching the clip to get the screenshot got me in the mood to binge the whole series.
The show has some outright bad episodes, meandering direction and tone, a terrible release schedule, and a rushed ending, but by God there are moments that make it all worth it.
The episode I cried about was Storm in the Room, when I was thinking about it afterward. It really fricked me up thinking about how, under all the fanciful elements, Steven's just a kid who never got to meet his mother. I wound up calling my mom right after watching.
Too bad that they forgot about this moment. It always was extremely close to being great but the trash writers were incapable of realizing their ambitions.
The show is flawed, but the stuff that's good is really good and Cinemaphile loved it... seriously, if you were here ten years ago or whatever when the second hit of season one hit and we had that fricking phenomenal buildup to The Return... man that was fricking peak Cinemaphile hype right there.
>Cinemaphile loved it...
Cinemaphile is a pretty illiterate board so I don't think them loving it means anything but Op should just be true to his feelings.
>commited suicide to not have to face the consequnces of her actions
honestly the funniest part of the show and I'm pretty sure it was unintentional by Rebecca
what was your favourite gem and why Cinemaphile?
for me, it's Jasper because she had enough screentime to establish herself, not enough to be ruined by the writers, and enough potential to be one of the most interesting characters

Gem pussy
>objectively
homie all that matters if whether you enjoyed the ride
Black person thinking.

>thinking narratives can't have objective qualities to them
Because you were likely a child when you watched it. Kids enjoy garbage and only remember the enjoyment. That’s nostalgia.
It was good enough. Not great. But it could have been, which is why it sticks.

S1 was good.

Because you and everyone included on this gay homosexual board have the mindset of a 13 year old Tumblr/Twitter user
Because it was good
Well... I think it's pretty great.
Unironically bawled as a b***h watching this.
Frick you, at least I got the cojones to admit it.
speak for yourself, I thought Pearl was a massive c**t in this episode, even when it came out and I was young enough to be in the age demographic

You probably had a boner for one of the gems. It was pretty unwatchable otherwise. Though I dropped it after ~5 episodes

It wasn't. You just let Cinemaphile override your enjoent of things because we're miserable contrarian frickboys.
