And that&#8217;s about the extent that I want to take any real criticism of this episode because it&#8217;s all an April Fools&#8217; joke, isn&#8217;t it? A pretty good one, given that they had to plan this out fairly far in advance in order to pull it off, right???<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s just acknowledge that most of this went over my head and instead just appreciate the <i>Princess Mononoke <\/i>reference, as well as the fact that Amethyst ate Pizza Steven. Actually, the &#8220;plot hole&#8221; moment was pretty cool, as was the reappearance of the Beedril characters. And maybe this episode isn&#8217;t canonical, but MY THEORY THAT STEVEN REQUIRES EMOTIONAL INTENSITY TO OPERATE HIS POWERS WAS CONFIRMED. Well, in a non-canonical episode, but I will take what I can get.<\/p>\n<p>The video for &#8220;Say Uncle&#8221; can be downloaded <a href=\"https:\/\/markdoesstuff.com\/products\/mark-watches-steven-universe-season-2\">here for $0.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mark Links Stuff<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/markdoesstuff?ty=h\" target=\"_blank\">I am now on Patreon<\/a>!
