The show wraps up by paying homage to its very first episode: Singing a song about ice cream. What seemed like a cringe first episode about a fat kid and his love for a discontinued ice cream became one of the greatest animated series I have EVER seen (in my opinion). It all pays off in this bittersweet finale. Thank you Steven Universe. Thank you Rebecca Sugar. Thank you to everyone else who brought this wonderful show to life. Steven Universe will go down as one of the most iconic shows of the 2010s.
And you know what? I already miss it.....
But that doesn't mean I'm not smiling, because it did indeed HAPPEN and that is the most important thing. :)
One last thing I want to address: The anti-climactic ending. I personally thought this was a fitting finale to the show, contrary to what some other fans think. At its core, Steven Universe has always been a coming-of-age story about Steven himself. That's why the show is titled "Steven Universe". In this very last episode, he says goodbye to everyone and begins the next journey of his life in a new place. What exactly that is we will never know for sure, but we can be quite certain it will involve marriage to Connie at some point!
The show ended on a fitting note in my opinion and I was personally VERY satisfied with it. I'm surprised not many feel the same way but to each their own. :)
Steven Universe is one of few cartoons of this past decade to really move me for one reason or another, and I couldn't be more grateful for its existence. Again to everyone who made this show possible: Thank you.
For anyone wondering what was in the chest in Lion's mane, it was probably Steven's cool pink jacket. So stop complaining about it already!
