So I just finished Beach City Drift and I just… I really, really like the moral of the episode here. They both know that Kevin is, as Steven even said, a creep. They both feel that does deserve to lose. Hell, I agree, Kevin deserves to lose at his game.
But here, Kevin’s game isn’t racing. It’s the game that Steven and Connie lost the moment they fused.
The two of them, and in what feels in a very out of character manner for Steven, go out for vengeance against Kevin for doing the things he’s done. Steven’s not the kind of kid to go out for blood, yet he still was so passionately compelled to fight Kevin against all better judgement. It wasn’t a logical choice to race him to win, it was an impulsive one. They still made that choice to play his game, even though they loathed it.
People act irrationally. People aren’t the masters of their own wills, but they feel they are.
Honestly… I don’t think I can do the episode service when it’s nearly midnight. This… This episode has reminded me just how much this show deserves to be analyzed.
