Man, it it weird that Adora spends two whole episodes looking for the First One's secret nuke, only to have the show then act like she innocently stumbled over the Heart, and never once in a million years thought about using it? That the idea of using the First Ones Magic nuke was only ever Shadow Weaver and Glimmer's idea?

#spop #scraps #s4 cinemanarrative dissonance #adora #shadow weaver #to be clear while im frustrated by the absolution of adora here #it's more in the context of 'why implicate her at all then?'#if the story wanted her to be smol innocent bean why have her hunt the weapon?#are these episodes what glimmer is complaining about when she accuses adora of constantly running off?#because it sure seems like adora spent a good fifth of the season's run time working alone on a mysterious personal project #that no one else is aware of #and which is very much focused on *adora* winning the war while cutting out glimmer #but it lacks the framing that would make that explicit?#the short scenes of Glimmer asking where she is or what she's doing and getting silence or lies in return?
