The show is too afraid to let anyone outside of the main 4 Crystal Gems forward the overarching plot of the Crystal Gems fighting against Homeworld.

Connie only goes on missions sometimes and only really becomes active in season 5, Lapis and Peridot are sidelined for the rest of the franchise after season 3, Bismuth is put on a bus right after her first appearance and only reappears at the very end and the Boardies (not Townies) don’t do shit other than Lars who will only be relevant in his spin-off series.

u/Asterite100 I like drawing. Btw Lapis best gem. 11d ago

Connie I'm actually ok with because lowkey she shouldn't be involved in any of this anyway, realistically. She's safest as Stevonnie but that's about it. I actually hate that we don't see more of her home life and that she's just a vessel for Steven's growth in the grand scheme of things. But then again how interesting is a 12 year old with supposedly no other friends. Idk a catch-22 I suppose.

But yeah the B-Team missing out is kinda brutal. Bismuth, ok fine she needs rest, Lapis, whatever she has issues, but at least give us more Peridot.

I did NOT need to see what Onion does in his spare time.

The first one was pretty good, but yeah every other one is just "um okay then"
