I thought it was a fun episode, it also helps that I love crossovers too (Shame it's considered 'non-canon, UG is the only character who could connect with every CN original. Really wish they'd stuck with that and make). I loved how both casts got to interact with each other, especially with Mr. Gus showing off his gemsona and Pearl freaking out a lot.
Now come on guys, remember the lesson after 'Joy Ride', Steven is still a kid and should have some fun. With all the heavy stuff that has happened in the past episodes, some goofy silliness shouldn't hurt especially for one episode. Besides lots of kids gushed to see them together, think of this as a breather with a nice message at the end.
@Conekiller:
Yes, Garnet. I too want this episode to be over now.
I side with Pearl in this case but they pushed her reactions to insanity levels. Provably the writers thinking they're being clever by mocking the people who wouldn't like this beforehand, ir something. I've never enjoyed spite based humor.
Nah, this was far from spiteful, more like a subtle message that needed to be said. If you hadn't noticed Uncle Grandpa gets a lot of flak just for existing, and the hatred got amped up and when SU fans caught wind of the crossover (If you don't believe me check the Uncle Grandpa tag on tumblr). Like a day or so before the crossover, I see posts spreading lies about how the show is fatphobic (despite the first episode of him helping a kid learn to appreciate his body), transphobic/transmisogynist, and all that garbage. Just to spread more vitriol towards the show. It's kinda sad. Rebecca wanted to do this crossover, is friends with the UG creator and they get harassed for having some fun.
I understand Uncle Grandpa isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it doesn't deserve constant hate especially with fans who do appreciate the show.
"Look with your eyes unclouded by hate" isn't just for UG haters but for everyone.
