I wish there was some sort of supercut that cut out all the townie episodes. As well as the Lars in Space and Sadie Killer episodes. Some people consider them to be plot-important, but those just feel like an extension of the townie episodes imo.

Most of the townie episodes have something important introduced in them - usually one or more of Steven's weird diamond powers, which eventually come back in a future episode - but they do suck if you've watched through the series before, because you already know all the things they show.

Most gems have weird, eclectic power sets that aren't really touched on. Pearl can control sand for some reason, Amethyst can make her whips explode, Garnet can use electricity, there's a lot of "just because" powers among gems - Steven's unique because he just fucking uses them. And the whole Resurrection/Banshee Screaming thing wasn't introduced until just before or way after the Pink Diamond reveal.

What really should've given it away was that Pearl wears a pink diamond on her outfit.
>>
>>147059387
That kind of dropped off hard after the first part of season 3. The townie episodes after that are almost entirely inconsequential. What's weird is that the latter part of season 3 is often cited as the point the show started to really decline hard in quality. Wonder what exactly happened then because it feels like the writers suddenly forgot what half of the show was.

The message (and fantasy) of Steven Universe is that all people are fundementally good - even color-coded space Hitlers - they just need to have the good brought out from inside of them through failing and being forgiven for failing. Greg has already done all the failing and being forgiven for failing parts, so he's a good guy. Which is also why he's written out of the show for the most of it; his advice is always correct. The only time he ever does anything morally dubious is when he wants an excuse to spend more time with his son.

It's because they ran out of shit to introduce in the townie episodes.
Every episode in season 1 was really good at introducing lore "breadcrumbs" - while you had the occasional lore dump episode in the really important moments, like when the gem monsters were revealed to be corrupted gems during Mirror/Ocean Gem (Which was also when the universe expanded from just 3 gems and a kid to an entire gem empire being out there, somewhere), most episodes had one thing, even the ones focused entirely on the town.

>Cat Fingers: Steven has all the powers the other gems do and more, but he struggles to control them. This remains a constant theme throughout the series and even into Future
>Lars and the Cool Kids: Rose left behind a bunch of killer plants in a highly populated area just because she found them "beautiful." Rose - who up to now has been nothing but a paragon - is shown as careless and selfish, letting innocent people come to harm. And yet Pearl defends her endlessly.

So on and so on. This bridged the gap neatly; if you like the townies, great, and if yoiu don't, you still learn a lot about the gems, the characters you do care about. But season 3 didn't have much more to reveal, so characters very few people actually cared about end up just getting a focus episode in earnest while the aliens you watch the show for sit it out.

How the fuck was connie bland? Lapis was complete garbage
>>
>>147059731
Yeah Lapis probably makes the most romantic sense out of the gems. People meme about Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst to various degrees but in actuality he just views them as his moms and nothing more, and clearly doesn't have much of a mommy kink. Meanwhile the feeling from them seems to be pretty mutual. Peridot seems to just view him as a close friend and not much more. The Diamonds all fawn over him after the redemption but it seems like Steven really doesn't have much of an interest in them, even though Blue Diamond in particular would probably be an easy as fuck lay for him.

Meanwhile Lapis shows some genuinely obsessive tendencies towards him and really only feels comfortable opening up around him, while Steven doesn't have any of the hangups he would have with the CGs/Diamonds. The rest of the gems feel kind of inconsequential to think of in romantic terms with Steven. So that kind of just leaves Lapis since again, Peridot doesn't seem to have the same level of interest in him. Dunno about "draining his fucking ballsack" though the second he showed interest like that" though, although it'd probably get there eventually. Lapis seems like she'd be pretty wild in bed.

It was a theory for as basically long as we knew theorized that the diamonds existed. I was on the "it's too obvious" camp, but I held onto it for too long. I didn't interact too much with the community for a while, but I'm sure a good bit saw it coming.

Most people felt like that'd be too obvious and kind of retroactively ruin the gravity of Rose's Rebellion, so even though it was right in our faces it remained a minority-supported theory.

For all Steven Universe's faults, I do appreciate how they didn't go the "character gets rich, becomes and asshole, and blows all their money by the end of the episode" route. Greg deserved that win, and made good use of his newfound wealth without losing himself in the process. It just feels right to have the best character get the best turnout.
>>
>>147058327
There is a lot you can criticize Steven Universe for. But ONE thing I will give it credit for is that they made Greg rich and kept him rich without some shitty status queue ending.

Most shows would have made Greg rich, he acts like a giant asshole to everyone around him because he's rich, then loses all his money, and at the end he returns to being the same guy as before. Status queue.

It was a breath of fresh air that Greg got rich, DIDN'T become a huge asshole, DIDN'T lose all his money, and him being rich is just sort of a background lore element.

There was a local government conspiracy to cover up their actions, both to not bring attention to Beach City and because Mayor Dewey is sweet on Pearl.
Remember: EVERY Ronaldo episode introduced something important and true about the lore, even though his episodes are literally the worst. And the Conspiracytuber episode was that the Gems are basically a secret to the world at large.

Townie episodes weren't really the issue like majority believe. It was the writing format that changed due to week-marathon events, so "human stuff" and "gem stuff" were separated instead of together like originally planned.

A lot of season 1 episodes did a better job at combining both worlds before the plot-based marathons became a priority after the ratings success of the first one.

Steven can't date any of the gems because of the extreme power imbalance between them. He's a diamond, essentially a god to the rank and file gems. They are compelled to obey him no matter what. And the other diamonds are his creepy sisters. Also Pink was a freak for doing fusion shit with Pearl. Connie is also a stupid choice because people don't usually get together with some girl they on the playground when they were 7. And the same thing applies to her as the other gems. She's a bug compared to Steven's power. It's silly. The only sensible choice really for Steven would be a leader of some other unrelated galactic empire he'd meet during the course of the show.
>>
>>147063003

Yes. Maybe. For real people that are not space gods. Steven can never date a normal human from Earth at the end of the show without it coming across as silly. Unless he'd split into gem Steven and human no powers Steven. That we saw would kill the human part of him. He can in a moment of rage squash Connie like a fly, spit on her corpse then and revive her as his undead pink thrall under his total control. It can't work.

You're either incredibly naive, sheltered or just trolling. That's the point and it's incredibly obvious. A partnership implies equal contributions. What can Connie contribute exactly? Money? Some kind of social expertise? The classic female contribution, children? Because if you say companionship then she's just a pet. Kids? Can Steven even? Even if he did couldn't he also jizz in an injector and have thousands of gems come out of the ground in his image? He can live for thousands of years and present as whatever age he wants. It's not an equal relationship. It can never be. It's just kinda cute for now because he's still immature but come on. Tell me, what can Connie do for Steven as of the end of the show? What can any normal human?
>>
>>147063756
While I can see the realistic "relationships are business" angle... You're getting too caught up in the meaning of words. If he stays with her, and they marry and have children, you could call it whatever you want, but I don't see anything morally reprehensible about it.

For how long dude? How long are they going to be together? Steven can live for thousands of years. These kinds of relationship problems don't affect real people of course but in the universe of the show their relationship can never be anything more then at best a master and his pet. There is exactly one instance where their contributions can be equal. If Steven gives birth to Connie's child by sacrificing his life.

>>147059810
I would say Peridot is fair game because she seems far younger than the other gems, and doesn’t have that same connection of surrogate mom (Garnet and Pearl), aunt/big sister (Amethyst), or still hung up on his mom being a war criminal. The writers probably noticed this too seeing as they sent her off to a farm and pushed an odd couple ship with Lapis to keep her away from Steven.

It foreshadowed the usage of gems in equipment and the "living armors" that the gem race used to use.

The former of which was almost completely forgotten about after season 1. The latter was never brought up again after Frybo.

>>147065667
The show dropped all kinds of shit after season 1 that makes it feel almost like its own separate show entirely, it's really bizarre.
>>
>>147065790
It genuinely felt like the show was having an identity crisis throughout it's run. It never really knew if it wanted to be a slice-of-life comedy or an action-adventure show.

The moment after the season 1 finale ended should have been when the show started going into space and start exploring the gem empire, or something to that extent. But instead, it wanted to both be a down-to-earth story and a high-stakes space opera.

It's like if Luke blew up the Death Star, but kept coming back to Tatooine to fuck around with literal nobodies. Oh wait, that's The Mandolorian.

Rebecca Sugar is a kike I want to rape
>>
>>147065908
The issue is that Sugar had a clear idea for the show in mind before production really and that carried over through most of season 1.
However like many of the shows flaws she was unable to keep her team under control and so they dragged the show is whatever direction they pleased.
The whole Zuke situation was the worst of this.
>>
>>147062437
>But ONE thing I will give it credit for
For me it was that the show was about the thing that it was named after. Not like in other shows and movies where the supporting characters eat up much of the screentime.
>>
>>147059810
Yeah, it is kind of weird.
>>
>>147065790
I believe Sugar intentionally pitched her show like something you'd see from Man Of Action to sucker CN into greenlighting it. "A half-alien boy living in a seaside town discovers he has powers and uses them to fight monsters and invading aliens".
>>
>>147066080
Thanks, that feels better.

That is likely be the case, but it's hard to tell because Ian and Rebecca keep acting like that this was all part of the plan. It's really hard to tell what their actual plan was when they keep bullshitting.

was watching the episode where Greg had to babysit today and can u imagine if little Onion really died on that wheel? Then Vidalia would literally kill Greg. Rose would revive him (if he's lucky), and Greg would ask her to revive Onion... and in the show onion and greg would be pink

Im surprised that the EARTH did not give a fuck about the corrupted gems. Yeah there were warriors thousands of years ago, but no active defense groups?

Where are the scientists studying these corrupted gems? No human tech replicating gem tech? Nothing?

I honestly would’ve been fine if there was at least one scene where a high tech military group helps the crystal gems fight off corrupted gems.

Kids are really effeminite, however this is a bias based on how masculinity is developed: useful to society and 'toxic' or 'tolerated antisocial extremes' which no one likes in either gender (overly aggressive males, henpecking females).
What is good masculinity? Essentially BOY SCOUTS, the entire idea of self reliance, working in a fellowship, and protecting the weak. This requires stoicism, less emotion when 'being prepared' and pragmatic empathy (not crying along side someone injured but being moved enough to help them if they need it yet cold enough to not help if they need to develop self reliance --not coddling). It's an extremely tricky balance which is why most encultured men are failures or worse: violent criminals taking the 'easy route' of insularity and cult of personality in some kind of violent gang to earn 'respect' and other nonsense. Women have their own toxicity but it's nothing compared to men. We train them with tools to be self reliant and defensive but the student can easily take that knowledge to become a monster.

Greg isn't a character, he's a concept and an idea, you can find guys like Greg pretty much everywhere.
Tho my choice of race was mostly like this-
> Blue diamond is Asian because he'd probably be the most calm steven, I think he'll be the smartest too therefore probably an asian.
> Yellow diamond is the aggressive one, basically he'd probably be brown considering that yellow was depicted as such.
> White diamond is simple, he'd be the most emotionally unavailable and mildly autistic, also I think a snowy place fits him the most, so he'd be a Russian.

Responding to misogyny with racism is 100% effective. There's two possibilities. Either they're black, in which case they've been completely called out and there's no recourse, or they're not black but were acting black by hating women, and again there's just no answer to that, they lose.

I feel like if they really had a totally solid plan through and through that they wouldn't have made missions to gem locations and gem artifacts such a major part of season 1, only to drop the concept of both of them entirely after season 1. Like seriously no less than a third of season 1 episodes are centered around gem artifacts doing something crazy and they're just GONE after that season.
