>>110171749>He made a vow to never abandon her the way PD did and make up for her mistakesthat literally didn't happen, he was stressing that she needs to find a new friend not him
>Bit of an understatementYou can say that, yes, which just makes it look worse for Steven. He knows full well how damaged she was but he handled the situation as least delicately as possibly. It goes further than just helping this one hurt gem, this put the Earth in peril again.
>>110171770I can understand Steven being a bit more moody or some such, in fact I welcome that, but I can't see any Steven having a non-blase reaction to Drift Away. It's almost comical how far they went with the "depressing backstory" with her. I don't think they were trying to tell anything about Steven's character and more just they needed this to happen for plot reasons. His desire to give Spinel away to some other person can't be viewed as a negative quality because then it would "ruin" the movie's ending with her going with the Diamonds.
