•  Garnet be literally split in half. The person he thinks the strongest be literally split in HALF.
•  Amethyst turning into his dead mother and freaking out his father to the point he was shutting down
•  Amethyst (nearly) get crushed by a rock and found out she was meant to be evil and saw her completely break down

• headbutted unconscious by a giant threat who insulted his mother, split up Garnet, and imprisoned him and his friends to take him to a strange dangerous planet

• Saw Sadie and Lars be eaten by a haunted lighthouse

So don’t EVER say Steven is a weak character.

I don’t think any of the SU characters are weak.
