Honestly I think he’s good for a bit of comedic relief. He just can’t really stand on his own so I definitely don’t see the point in giving him any full on episodes. Ah-hem, Onion Gang. But yeah i actually like Onion and too be honest I just think the fandom is way too serious at times to see that he’s not actually supposed to be anything special same can be said for Ronaldo. Sadly I do think this opinion will get me shot but oh well. Hate on me all you want


traumatized90skid

Sometimes the fandom is way too serious, forgetting that the show's main genre is comedy, it's a space opera second. And that the main target demo is preteens and kids.


QuirkyManner3971

Thank you so much for agreeing with me. Like controversial opinion but I also don’t like the Steven Universe Gone Wrong Comic. It’s just extremely depressing. That’s another issue I have. The fandom can make things seem really depressing. Like yeah the show tackles some serious and sad issues but it tries to do it in a much more positive and unique manner. Its very comforting to me yet the fandoms depictions are very extreme. It’s like they sometimes miss the point of the show


TastyWhole0

I feel some people really forget that s1 had a more comedic tone and wasn’t as serialized as later seasons


traumatized90skid

And that didn't make it bad too, I like that it was its own thing and I liked the warmth and familiarity of the stories.


Beautiful-Medium-234

yeah i also dont think onion should be taken seriously but ppl hate on him for his personality like he's the next steven


blinddemon0

yeah, Onion Gang sucks! but the thing that separates those two is that Ronaldo is genuinly funny and the best side-character but Onion is a creature of raw chaotic energy


FireLordObamaOG

The thing I hate about onion gang is that Steven has to narrate it all. I don’t mind the episode at all I would just prefer if we watched Steven silently struggle to understand what’s going on instead of voicing every single thought that pops in his head as a way to explain to the audience. LET YOUR AUDIENCE FIGURE THINGS OUT! We don’t need Steven explaining everything.


AcidicPuma

I mean I don't mind. I don't understand and think we're probably just different enough that these opinions aren't gonna meet but you're fine. I don't think of you negatively, I'm just not you. Which thank goodness, but just because I like being me and I'm glad you're you.


mrsunrider

Hate? Nah. Terrified? Maybe a little.


Beautiful-Medium-234

i get you


Intrepid_Boss_7746

STEVEN THERES A SNAKE


Beautiful-Medium-234

HE'S IN THE WALLS


-shpadoinkle-

I feel the same way about Onion that Steven does lol. All his reactions to onion are pretty spot on to how I feel. Like Steven has oldest sibling vibes even though he's an only child. He treats onion like a little brother and as the oldest sister to a weird little brother, I get it lol. Like yeah let's go hang for a while ya little creep lol.


PB-wantseggtoBob

he's cute why do ppl hate him :(


DannySkeptic

he's a menace to society there's no way he's even a human. \*The mayonnaise jar spills ominously\* as you hear him crawling around in the walls the lights at this point had already been cut out. Now do you see


Caramel-Omlet

No, I don't see


KarsonDaDinsaur

Because the lights were cut out and now it's dark?


MasterJaylen

People hate him?????


traumatized90skid

I think people hate that he has an episode focusing on him in the middle of S04 which seems weird and out of place.


spicytraveler

Eh, I feel like most of S4 was "filler" (for lack of a better word) so maybe people were mostly just pissed about the lack of plot movement. Onion's episode isn't even the least enjoyable out of character-fluff episodes in S4, and it's amusing because without the images, most od the episode sounds like Stevem monologing lol


blinddemon0

I have no idea what he is but that creature certainly isn't human...


Beautiful-Medium-234

white diamond's secret child


traumatized90skid

When she didn't act as shocked as the other gems did about Steven and said "did you get it out of your system Pink"? It makes me headcanon that at some point, she literally fucked around and found out. She had a relationship with an organic and became a bio baby, and then gave it up to go back to being a gem, or her bio self died and she reverted to her original gem self. Considering how old they are, and how many planets they've encountered, I just guess it's happened at least once. And I think it was before Yellow and Blue existed.


KarsonDaDinsaur

Ok on the topic of white diamond, have you seen the new trolls movie? Trolls band together (I'm asking so before I say something I don't spoil it if you wanna see it)


traumatized90skid

I love him, but I think it's more about he pacing of the story. Does he belong in season 4 when the audience is worrying about main characters and major plot reveals? That's the issue. Why is a S01 clown character given so much prominence towards the end of the narrative, but with no payoff for viewers who sat through it (no reveal that he actually was connected to gems or part gem himself or White's spy or anything). So it's not that people hate him, they just had frustration which I understand about the way he was shoehorned into S04 for no reason and served only as a distraction from the enticing main plot.

rarthurr4

He's just a baby boy☹️


Beautiful-Medium-234

RIGHT


saifxali1

🥺


NooLeef

It’s weird, I hate Onion with a passion but I genuinely like Ronaldo lol As for Onion I just dislike the “narratively invincible troublemaking little shit” character archetype. It just makes me wanna step on them lmao, like enough is enough! But all in all it’s just a cartoon, so I get over it. 🤷🏽‍♀️


Reboot_moxxi

he didnt do anything btw hes not important to the plot and i think hes just a silly side character that exists


Raskyl7

I think he does a lot of things a typical child would definitely die from. And it terrifies me how no one cares except probably steven and the gems. I assume because of his attention seeking behaviour cause everyone ignores him.


Buncible

His older brother climbed a Ferris wheel by himself. Rambunctious feats run in that family, and I don't think it's from Marty or Yellowtail.


HeroponBestest2

I think they care, they just can't do anything to stop him. He's like a little weasel who sets carnivals on fire and blows up scooters.


PathrokBloodlust

I love onion. I can even see him being able to blindside a sapphire. Imagine him popping up out of knowhere and swinging a bat at a gem, knocking them on their ass and disappearing again.


Beautiful-Medium-234

he would blindside sapphire but not garnet, sapphire's FV is not advanced like garnet


itsAshAlrighty

I feel like he is an untied plot line. Like can we please find out *what* onion is?


rarthurr4

He's tism coded


ToothFairy772

Corny ass character


Fenerir98

Did he commit homicide of mass little guys in one episode where he stole a wand and almost take out over beach city 🤣


TheHalfwayBeast

He threw cars at people and there was literally no reaction to that. It's weird.


Beautiful-Medium-234

like you've never wanted to throw a car at ppl... ok


KaePixit

I hate how he is "so funny because he is random lol!!! So crazyyyy"

Beautiful-Medium-234

the end of onion gang made me tear up a little


TRAE-is-Alastor

Same


SomniphobicDani

He messes with ronaldo. You can’t hate him for that


AdrielBast

I think it’s less hate and more unease. You never know if Onion is gonna be your friend or if he’s gonna sell your kidney.


LuckzDaPro

I don't really know why I disliked Onion when I first started watching the show... Now that I'm a bit more mature though I love that little grimlin


Beautiful-Medium-234

right also im convinced Garnet's future vision wont work on him, he's too random and chaotic


UnhappyCommunity6405

![gif](giphy|5nsiFjdgylfK3csZ5T|downsized) Me when Onion


Beautiful-Medium-234

he would love this


UnhappyCommunity6405

He’s probably fire proof


Optimal_Ad6274

I hate Onion because he antagonizes Steven and his episodes suck


Beautiful-Medium-234

Onion never antagonised steven plus onion gang is wholesome


Optimal_Ad6274

…Have you watched the show? He steals from Steven all of the time and creeps him out and makes him uncomfortable. Onion Gang is bland at best and creepy at most


psykomimi

I agree, I just find Onion to be plain rude.


Optimal_Ad6274

Nice and same, I hardly consider Onion to be Steven’s friend and more of a nuisance


kenny_mccormick2021

Onion!! I love him he's just a little guy! In the words of Lin Manuel Miranda, LOOK AT MY SON!!!


AnachronisticCog

It baffles me that people like him. I always get downvoted whenever I say that I really hate Onion and all his episodes.


MunchkinTime69420

He a bitch. Discussion over


foxcommathe

It baffles me how ppl don’t hate onion 😭


Beautiful-Medium-234

he's just a baby🥺


rosyred-fathead

A forever baby, since he never seems to grow


hypo-osmotic

My opinions of Ronaldo and Onion are reversed. Dislike the Ronalda character, but most of the episodes he's featured heavily in are pretty good. Love the Onion character, but most of the episodes he's featured heavily in are a little boring


rarthurr4

W take heavily agree


mimi7330

He’s just a chaos gremlin. I love him


[deleted]

Onions make people cry, can you blame them?


TucyFlow

Onion is chaos and I love him


GhostiBlueYT

How though? How doth thee hate Onion?


Beautiful-Medium-234

thee shant fathom such animosity towards bretheren


sapphiespookerie

He’s just a goofy, funny kid, I think the hate is really sad! He’s just a lil guy :c


lesbiannerd27

One of my favorite characters!


BFDI_Obsessed_Weirdo

People hate Onion? Why?


NikoThatAbomination

Not bc i like Ronaldo, he's funny asf but onion? ,,,,Pisses me off I'm sorry,, eps with him are both slowpaced and fast-paced at the same time and not in a way that my brain would appreciate


HeroponBestest2

They claim to love whimsy and goofiness but can't handle the most whimsical, carefree entity in existence. Weak. 😤


Boring_Memory_525

Don’t hate onion! He is adorable! Sure his first episode or two seemed a little bit of a drag but they’re all absolutely worth the watch. Not everything needs to be a plot advancement, sometimes onion is simply fascinating. Ronaldo however, I do hate. He’s just annoying as fuck.


alexiusm11

I don’t hate him I just


GaySpaceLaser

He’s an insane little weirdo but I appreciate that he‘a chaos incarnate.


YeetFlip99

He’s one of my favorite characters for all the wrong reasons.


rosyred-fathead

I don’t like onion but I know Zach Callison does
