I’ve noticed that several people have posted theory videos
about every possibility that could happen in
Steven Universe. If there are any theory videos involving
Once Upon a Time, I’ve yet to find them.
I have created theories of my own about the shows, but these will only be
written word for word. First, I will talk about
Steven Universe.
Here’s what I think is very likely to happen:
1.
Steven (and possibly the Crystal Gems) will go
to Homeworld.
2.
Steven gets poofed (or seriously injured) and
sees his mom in limbo for the first time.
For the first theory, this sort of event could take place if
Steven gets captured by Homeworld Gems or the Crystal Gems need to take the
fight to Homeworld. Since he is the hybrid son of Rose Quartz and a human, then
Homeworld is likely going to see him as an abomination and thus needs to be
dealt with. If Steven does go to Homeworld, it would be a good opportunity to
see White Diamond for the first time if she doesn’t appear in any episodes
before the event. Whether or not the Crystal Gems are going to accompany him or
take him to Homeworld, I am not entirely certain.
For the second theory, I’m not sure whether or not Steven
can get poofed since he’s only half-Gem. However, if he does - or at least gets
injured in a human way similar to poofing - then this may provide him an
opportunity to see his mother in limbo. Rebecca Sugar never actually said Rose
was dead, so what I think is that Rose - like other Gems when they get poofed -
is in limbo within her gem because she gave up her physical form for Steven.
When at least Steven’s consciousness retreats in his gem, he might see his
mother’s essence shaped in her form. After a bittersweet chat with his mother,
Steven will return to reality. I’m guessing that in order for Rose to return,
Steven will have to die and that will detach the gem from his navel. I’m not
saying Steven will die in the show, but it might have to happen someday after
the series.
On the topic of Once
Upon a Time, I have four people in mind for the hooded figure.
1.
Rumple and Belle’s baby: Do you know of the show
The 4400? If not, let me explain it to
you. Over the years, 4400 people get abducted from their respective timelines
by a strange light. They then reappear altogether on a lake in modern times
with no memory of what happened between their disappearance and their
reappearance. Two of the abductees have a superpowered child named Isabelle,
who grows to adulthood at an abnormally fast rate. The reason I bring this up
is because I think Rumple and Belle’s baby (who I will refer to as Giles after
his actor) will be a lot like an evil version of Isabelle.
Because his dad is the Dark One,
Giles will possibly inherit his powers, not to mention a lot of her
personality. No doubt that Giles probably manipulated his mom into ditching his
dad so he could use her as a pawn. Naturally, Belle will blame Rumple for their
son’s darkness, but then Giles will point out that Belle’s distrust and spite towards
her husband helped fuel Giles’ dark powers and his darkness altogether. Talk
about a stinger there. The Evil Queen might want to recruit Giles as her
apprentice, but he might turn on her and become the final boss of the first
half of Season 6. Look out, world! A natural Dark One could be coming our way!
2.
Belle: Okay, some part of me might be biased
about this, but if the creators want to keep us on our toes, they’d have to
pull a pretty good plot twist like turning Belle into a wielder of dark magic. I
would give you the reasons why I think she could be the hooded figure, but I’d
go on a long-winded rant, so I’ll narrow it down for you. Belle hasn’t exactly
been proving to be a good wife to Rumple recently. She expects him to be a
perfect man because she cannot accept his imperfections and his addiction to
the dark side. She needs to realize that no one – not even she or her husband –
can be perfect. A true Beauty and the
Beast moral would be that the beauty would still love the beast even if he
doesn’t turn into a prince. As long as he’s compassionate and not abusive, that
should be all that matters.
Another thing to point out is that she’s
being harsh with Rumple, saying that his being afraid of failure is “too weak
to be good”. She should know that everyone is afraid of failure, including
herself. She claims that her son will hate his dad, but the only hatred I see
is hers. I know I have my dislikes towards Belle, but that doesn’t mean she’s
entirely out of the running for the hooded figure. I don’t know how she would
turn into a dark sorceress, but a pretty good instigator would be an event
similar to Tara’s death in Buffy: The
Vampire Slayer. Willow turned dark right after Tara died, so I’m wondering
if Belle could do the same.
3.
An Emma doppelganger: Believe it or not, this is
not out of the realm of possibility. Much like Jekyll and Hyde, maybe Emma’s
going to take the serum and split herself into clean absolutes. I don’t know
why she would do that, but you have to admit that a doppelganger would make a
very good candidate for the hooded figure.
4.
A Snow White doppelganger: Given what the Evil
Queen has done to her and David’s hearts right now, Snow White might be
compelled to give in to her inner darkness. But if this happens, then she might
want to take the serum and split herself into two people. It might only be a
possibility, but it’s a plot-twisting possibility.
I’ve paid close attention to the red smoke the hooded figure
uses during the predicted fight, and it doesn’t match Rumple’s smoke, the Evil
Queen’s, or perhaps even Jafar’s. Given how the show has proven to pull plot
twists here and there, I say that the hooded figure is the person people least
suspect. Even though I’m leaning more towards Belle, there’s a good chance it’s
her and Rumple’s son.
Would you like to share your thoughts in the comments below?
It’d be interesting to see what you think of any one of my theories.
