Uchungechunge oluphumeleleyo lweCartoon Network kaRebecca Sugar USteven Universe ifikelele esiphelweni. Ngelixa uthotho lwe-epilogue, USteven Universe: Kwixesha elizayo , akukagqitywa ukusebenza kwayo, kuyacaca ukuba eyona nto iphambili kwibali liphelile ngokuphela kwexesha lesi-5. Kuyaqondakala ukuba, ezi ndaba zamkelwa ngolusizi olukhulu nokuphoxeka-hayi nje ngokuphela kwento entle, kodwa iindawo zayo ezininzi ezivulekileyo kunye namathuba aphosiweyo.
Nangona kunjalo, enye yezona zinto zidanileyo kwisiphelo somboniso yinto yokuba ime kanye njengoko ibinomdla wokwenyani-kumqukumbelo webali layo elinomdla, elinzima, nelibalulekileyo: lelo lolawulo lobukoloniyali, inkululeko kunye nokuphilisa.
Isiqendu sokugqibela sexesha lesi-5 sishiya emva kokuba uSteven ekugqibeleni ethathe i-White Diamond, umlawuli weGunya eliKhulu leDayimani. Sebenzisa amandla akhe anovelwano, ajongane naye kwaye amenze atshintshe ingqondo yakhe malunga nobukhosi bemikhosi nobukoloniyali. Okomzuzwana nje, kubonakala ngathi ibali lokwenyani sele liza kuqala.
Ngelixa inkqubo yeWhite Diamond yaziva ingxamile kuyo (isuka ekuzithembeni okungagungqiyo ngokungathandabuzekiyo, emva koko iba sesichengeni, kwaye ekugqibeleni yamkele konke kwisithuba semizuzu engama-45), USteven Universe: Umboniso bhanyabhanya , kunye USteven Universe: Kwixesha elizayo waya ngaphaya koko. Ayisiyiyo kuphela eyona ndawo inomdla ebalini eye yangxama; yayishiywe ikhusi ngokupheleleyo. Umboniso bhanyabhanya kunye nomdlalo omtsha usibeka kwiminyaka emibini emva kweziganeko zokuvala zexesha lesi-5, ngombuzo wokuba izinto zifike njani apho zishiye zixhonyiwe kwaye zingaphendulwanga.
Ngaba iidayimani zavuma njani ukuyeka impiriyali yazo? Zeziphi iintlobo zenkqubo yeemvakalelo abaye bangena kuzo ukuvuma ukuba bezingalunganga? Emva kokumisa ukuqhubela phambili kweekoloni ezintsha, zithathe njani isigqibo sokuzikhulula ezikhoyo? Ngaba bakhona abasindileyo? Zibachaphazele njani ezi ziganeko? Emva kwamawakawaka eminyaka ye-impiriyalizim enobundlongondlongo, ebhalwe kwilifa labo nasekwakhiweni koluntu luphela, zaphendula njani iintlobo zegem? Ngaba kwakukho ityala? Ukuzisola? Ubushushu? Zeziphi iinkqubo ekufuneka amajoni adlule kuzo ukuze ayeke? Kwenzeka njani ukuba inkcubeko yegem ijongane nenkohlakalo nolwaphulo-mthetho lwayo?
Cinga ngemizekelo emininzi yobukoloniyali kanye apha eMhlabeni: kwiTurtle Island, e-Afrika nase-Asiya, ukoyisa kwabo okomhlaba wonke, ukoyisa, kunye nomonakalo ongapheliyo — emva koko uwuphindaphinde ngamawaka eminyaka nakuyo yonke iminyele.
Ngokutsiba inkqubo yoqhawulo-mthetho, inkululeko kunye nokuphilisa, USteven Universe icebisa ukuba isisombululo kumonakalo onzulu nohlala ixesha elide we-impiriyalizim sisisa. Esi sigqibo siyingozi kukungakhathali: Kuthetha ukuba yonke into ekufuneka ayenzile ukumisa i-impiriyalizim yitshintsha ingqondo yenkokeli kwaye ibenze ukuba benze kakuhle. Ukuba yonke into ekufuneka yenziwe ukufezekisa ikholoniyoni kukuma nje kwaye wonke umntu wonwabe.
Iyasilela ukwamkela umonakalo osisigxina kunye nowenzala obangelwe ziintlekele zolu hlobo, kunye nobunzima bokukhululeka kubo-umbono ophazamisayo ngakumbi ngokunikwa ubude nobude beGem Empire, ethi ngokungathandabuzekiyo itshintshe ikhosi yeembali zemilambo yonke. .
Kwimiboniso eye yazi ubugcisa bokuxakeka ngokweemvakalelo kunye nenkqubo ethe chu, kuye kwadimaza ukubona eli candelo lebali ligxothiwe ngokupheleleyo. URebecca Sugar kunye noCrewniverse babenethuba elimangalisayo lokuphonononga ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukujongana nokujongana nengxaki yomntu kwingcinezelo; malunga nokuba ukwenzakala kunye nokusinda kubachaphazela njani abantu; wento efunekayo ukuze ukhulule ngokwenyani bobabini abakholoni kunye nabakholoniyali; nendlela yokuphilisa kuwo wonke lo monakalo.
Ibali elinjalo ngekhe linomdla nje, lalinokuba lilumkile kwaye likhanyisele. Kunye nayo yonke le nkqubo, ibinokusebenza njengombono oqinisekileyo wokwakha inyani entsha kwilizwe lethu, USteven Universe Kukuziphatha okuhle kokukhathalela novelwano kuwo wonke umntu. Oku bekuya kuba njalo USteven Ithuba lokuqaqamba ngokwenyani, kokubini njengomlinganiswa nanjengomboniso. Ngelishwa, abaqulunqi bagqibe kwelokuba beqe kulonto ibizakuba yeyona nto ibalaseleyo kunye nomsebenzi obalulekileyo.
