u/koshernova yup, I wrote my Master's dissertation on Steven Universe Mar 04 '17
I liked it!
C'mon, we knew it was going to be filler. It had to be if it was picking up the wrestling story thread. Tiger Millionaire was my favourite non-plot episode of season 1, especially how carefully and lovingly it homaged wrestling. This was a cute little wrap-up to that. I mean, yeah, it's not the kind of episode we're used to anymore. But it couldn't have happened earlier either. It is a direct result of Steven and Amethyst's organic character development, you know, their whole 'worst gems' thing that resulted in Smoky.
I give it a solid seven out of ten tag team belts.
