Steven Universe 1.11

Arcade Mania

Steven takes Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl to a video arcade after a mission. Garnet gets obsessed with a game called Beat Meat Mania. She stays there all night playing. Steven unplugs the game but Garnet uses her superpowers to turn the game back on. Steven ends up having to physically break the game machine in order get Garnet to snap out of the trance she is in while playing the game.

Thoughts

There is no moralizing about the fact that Garnet gets totally sucked in by a video game.

I like this episode. It feels a bit dated but I guess that there are still video game arcades here are there.
