I expect Tumblr users to enjoy this show, but you Holla Forums? For shame.

Lapis gets a PTSD attack from screens, love it

Also it's been forever since we got Peridot being a nerd

People can watch and enjoy whatever they like, I'm not a fan of the show but fuck off with that

lapis being cute > sjw propaganda

Kinda funny to see the 'They're stuck in that tiny box!' gag from someone who it actually makes sense in context to believe that.

careful there user, remember all that Holla Forums is love mentality attarcted socjus from SRS to old/co/ back in the 2012 /q/ fiasco

I don't believe Holla Forums is love or whatever, but a hivemind/groupthink is bad, whether I agree with it or not.

That's very nice and all but, where is the episode were Pearl gets cucked by the murdercock again?

Though it's not limited to just groupthink and can include different views under the right context, my favorite term to use is "nigga synthesis". The term is flexible enough to apply to pretty much all groups even Holla Forums

I thoroughly enjoyed that. They got the fanbase down to a T.

It's connie's laptop you nimwit
Wew

Steel Cog is on his shelf, you double nimwit

fuck off back to Holla Forums

Even in the shorts the animation looks fucking awful.

Connie has good taste.

Someone should introduce Peridot to X-COM.

Why does there need to be a permanent thread for this?

People never understood what that meant, it never meant that Holla Forums was a circlejerk hugbox what it meant was that Holla Forums could have discussions about almost anything even if it wasn't Holla Forums related that were often better than they would be on their appropriate board and that we were happy to share porn with one another, there was never a time when Holla Forums was free of arguing or the possibility of being called a nigger.
Shit started back in 07 and it was mostly homestuck that brought sjws to Holla Forums

You know there is already futa porn of that one time character?

unfortunately, there was, and that's the time we call "the age of fucking redwood", which was also the time/reason most of 8/co/ users moved here.

Yes, yes there is. Not completely certain as to why but, whatever. Still want to see more cuckquean though. Even though the definition doesn't really account for the main couple being lesbian.

wew

That was passed the time of "Holla Forums is love" though that was the point at which idiots started pining for a non existent earlier point of hugboxes and circle jerks.

...

Does this memeworthy image have a meme name yet?

Why no anime on connie's computer? wasn't she some super weeb?

she just doesn't keep her right on her desktop, so her parents don't find out

GEM HARVEST TRAILER IS OUT

I don't get it, couldn't Pearl just secretly refrain from forming a working womb?

>implying she does not want to die at this point

So Steven creates life (again) and completely neglects his creation to make two fucking twats happy.

Why is the writing so fucking godawful?

How long has the animation been this stiff?

All this happy-go-lucky shit and not one thing has been mentioned about the Roaming Eye or the possibility of Homeworld if not Yellow Diamond coming to Earth. An invasion of Earth seems like the next logical step in the story after the search party went missing and the cluster seemingly not activating, but no they have to shove this "MUH FEELS" nonsense down our throats.

Star Vs. The Forces of Evil may have been too distracted with menial episodes for the beginning of season 2 but, that has more of an excuse due to being relatively young. But for this show to have inconsequential episodes this far into the story after so much has happened is the most egregious thing a creator can do.

The creators should stop wasting our time and move onto the invasion plotline already.

That's the thing though, SVTFOE's filler episodes are at least somewhat entertaining and they at least move the plot forward by adding in extra stuff, like the fact that Star has a crush on Marco or seeing Ludo slowly lose his sanity.

But with SU their filler does NOTHING to move the plot forward, Pearl spends an entire night stalking some bitch because she looked like Rose, a character who is never going to be mention or heard from again until the next season

Both Bismuth and Jasper have been written off the show leaving the show with no real antagonist once again and the writers cannot be fucking bothered to follow up on the Yellow Diamond shit that they set up two seasons ago!

Tell me, how is your shit any better than this shit?

Only difference is that one has mediocre art while SU has decent art and is slightly more subtle about the tranny bs.

Because they genuinely no longer give a fuck.

Yeah, like a nuclear bomb.

I said "slightly". Gen Zed is the nuclear bomb. SU is more like the localized factory explosion.

Don't feed him. He will shit up the thread with "they are totally the same I'm a chemistry nerd LALALALALA".

They're both nukes, and they both do shitty things to make themselves look better.


What do you mean, "feed me"? You take me for a fucking troll?

don't try to talk to this guy.
In a few posts he's going to say "It does not matter if the shows different art, writing, characters, plots, or setting, they have the same soul" or something like that.
Considering the language he uses, he's either very determined in baiting every person on Holla Forums, or he's actually a tumblrite who wants to defend gen Z, and is offended that people watch SU and not his propaganda cartoon.
Either way, take it to

Bait would imply that what I'm saying isn't genuine

And you kiss your mother with that mouth.

Any thoughts on what would've redeemed this train wreck of a show?

I won't deny that.

Get rid of the filler shit and romance and focus more on world building, action and a larger and better written overarching plot.

I just wish they would tone down the emotional outbursts just a tad bit. All the bawling andinsecurity is worse than the most negative female stereotypes.

...

It's more opaque, not subtle. It just substitutes nonsense cartoon concepts for transexuality, homosexuality, etc. Sex is called 'fusing', for instance.

Incidentally, kill yourself for watching this fucking terrible show.

I don't watch it. I just like to see fans sperg over the hacks who run the show while doing cringy ponyfag-tier shit.

So, you replied just to say that?

Something along the lines of as well as prioritizing the characters better. I don't care if Bismuth comes in and out of a bubble or if Jasper stays a fucking AIDS dog forever. Their involvement in the plot alone makes them much more important than Onion, or Connie, or Sadie, or any of those other boring side characters the writers like shoving down our throats. If they want the biggest theme to be "love," whatever they think that means, they can focus on Greg and Rose's relationship. That alone should fill the bill much better than Garnet, or Connie carrying Steven for no good reason. They can fill the roles Steven has, and better.

In fact, Steven could be scrapped with no problem. Greg's "polyamorus" murdercock curing all the Gems' issues is more than progressive enough. They're not really strong independent wymyn anyway.

In fact, what's the point of touching upon their lack of "true" strength and independence, if they can just cling to each other at the end of the day? Garnet lecturing Pearl about "being her own gem" irked me because she is obsessed with fusion, and her very existence relies on her components being so codependent. And Amethyst and Steven talking about working hard? They didn't have to do a fucking thing fighting Jasper; they just fused into that Smoky abomination and won anyway.

You know what would be more compelling? If Amy did win against Jasper. Not through strength, but by embracing that "she's not like anybody" and using her unorthodox fighting style cleverly. Smokey itself used Jasper's force against her and set her pets free with it, why can't Amy? Even her weapon's good for redirection and using enemies as a flail. If that's too cliche, make it so that Steven can't fuse with Gems, forcing them to truly work together. Peridot could've been more of a help, too, even without her metal powers. Her intelligence and formerly strategic and objective-oriented nature makes for a good leader, but I've already written too much.

Oh wait, all that involves spending some of their budget on animating more than two characters at the same time. That money's better spent on one-time celebrity voices, nevermind.

TL;DR the writers should've prioritized better in general.

...

...

The whole thing is basically played as a joke and no one takes it seriously, though. If it was tumblr pandering everyone would be falling over themselves over how stunning and brave it was, the incredulous, realistic reaction would send a tumbrite crying to their safe space.

So why does no-one in the show mock him for it, not even Lars?

It's funny how when that episode aired so many people on here lost their shit over it and yeah the episode was bad but quite honestly I'd rank the Mystery Girl episode above this one, because in that episode Pearl acts like a creepy fucking stalker who's stalking someone because she looks like Rose and at no point does anybody call her out on this shit.

Like I said before, this is what happens when you have college kids write a cartoon aimed at children because they don't think they actions have any form of consequence.

The whole Mystery Girl episode is literally a teenager's coming-of-age story with a nerd coming out of their shell, though. It just happens to feature a woman as the protagonist and love interest.

And Steven does pretty much say he thinks it's not ideal but whatever gets Pearl out of the goddamn house.

It's o surprise to me that this show is popular with people who want to destroy Earth.

Now in a normal show this would be okay, but it's Pearl we're talking about here. A character so horrendous and amoral that I'm appalled she's considered one of the good guys.

It's clear she only chased after her because she looked like Rose, even though we had an episode where her and Greg finally buried the hatchet and moved on from the past. Yet this fucking episode showed that Pearl is the type of bitch who's stuck in the past and unable to move on.

So when the fuck is this shit getting banned from television?

Tumblrites deluding themselves Mystery Girl is a tranny, skipping over the part where that makes Pearl into dudes in a sense and blowing their whole LGBTQSJTLEJTST+ bit out of the water

Another reason to ask

Thought that your description was building up to a Frankenstein type episode. But the trailer is just the usual common thing being a crime against humanity like what we saw with sausage party.
Yeah that movie doesn't look too good.

I dunno. Astounded by stupidity? If the audience cheered at the end, then I see your point.
I really don't want to research this because I would probably cringe into a singularity.

They cheered during the performance, so you're pretty much on the nose.

I dunno about you guys, but I read that episode differently.
Like, I feel that Pearl wasn't really chasing after mystery girl simply because "looks like muh Rose" but more because of what she represents - change, taking the offensive for once. Sure, the initial attraction based on her looks is kinda shallow of her, but it is only after the second chance meeting that Pearl finally nuts up and decides to see what happens when she's no just waiting for somebody to come to her. The third time I suppose she must have thought "well shit, there she is again, might as well."
I suppose there are two explanations to Pearl's attraction to the mystery girl.
1- While Pearl has moved on in terms of building bridges with Greg and finally letting go of the resentment she had for him, her love for Rose will likely never die, so he familiar look of MG is comforting and is merely a stepping stone for Pearl to work her way out of her shell an finally look for love elsewhere.
2 - Pearl's got a thing for big chicks with pink hair.

Su is created in the hopes of being successful while gen zed was created with the intention of never having to release more than a trailer and causing as much controversy so the creator could try to cash in on victim bucks

Well yeah, it's clearly meant to be Pearl trying to move on, also bringing up her past as a rebel, to contrast with how she's basically the most conservative and cautious of the Gems now.

Kinda funny; due to Gems being unaging it could read both ways as 'Sheltered nerd finally steps out into the world for a coming of age' and 'Widowed housewife finally starts living for herself again, recalling her glory days'.

A lot of Gem stuff is written to be applicable as an analogy, but not a direct counterpart to human stuff. (Fusion as relationships/friendships/teamwork, for one)

So, yeah, exactly the same.

WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING THIS

Why is this show allowed to air, again?

Yo why these bitches care about earth and shit?
Bismark was all about fighting against social inequality and the caste system of homeworld. Is rose and the three gems the only ones sho ever cared about earth?

Actually kind of seems to be a point that not a lot of the Crystal Gems necessarily cared specifically about Earth and humanity, but fought because they want a place to live free of Homeworld's oppressive caste system and strict heirarchy; where they can act outside their assigned roles, socialise with anyone they want, and pursue their own happiness rather than serving those above them exclusively. Basically Earth is their America.

And even then, Rose's view of humanity was pretty condescending (if still positive) til she got to know Greg better and realised how little she really knew about the world she'd dedicated herself to.

That sounds like the foundation for an antagonistic group of humans.

Wouldn't it be great if this show had that? They would be like the Covenant, worshipping the Diamonds, reverse engineering their technology and be in opposition to the Crystal Gems. They would also see through their facade of wanting to protect humans when the only thing they care about is their own selfish freedom. They would even exploit the Crystal Gems recklessness and disdain for individual humans and build their image of fighting for the betterment of humans and furthering their cause.

Now that I think about it, this all seems like the most egregious missed opportunity the staff could ever pass on. What do you people think?

I'm not even sure if it's pasta at this point, or your genuine autism. But either way, you need to stop.

I second this notion.
Evil humans user is heavily autistic and needs to be escorted back to the Sonic messageboard he came from.

Seriously user. As much as I would've loved to see gem cultists in play, it's time you gave this a rest. Don't you have any other ideas.

I'm kinda waiting for a "Garfield minus Garfield" of Steven Universe, even if it was just a fanfic. I don't hate Steven, but he is most certainly wearing the plot down because he is a character that doesn't seem to belong to the series, almost as if he was hamfisted there against the writers' will because the higher ups told them a show with an all-female cast wouldn't sell enough toys. Fuck, even Connie would make a better Crystal Gem, and she isn't even a gem.

Also, the Homeworld cult idea is shit and would stick out like a sore thumb in SU's format. It seems the kind of idea you would throw in one of those cheaply animated cartoons that always end their episodes with "TO BE CONTINUED…" even though there is never a cliffhanger to warrant it

How exactly is Steven hamfisted and weighing the plot down? Do you have any ideas what the show would be like without him?

Given the Crystal Gems barely pay attention to humanity most of the time, Homeworld certainly doesn't. Wouldn't be believable at this point.

A human antagonist group might work better as an X-COM analogue; either a government or private organisation studying and reverse-engineering Gem technology. They may well view the Crystal Gems as holding humanity back, having hoarded Gem technology and refused to let humanity have a chance of standing up to Homeworld themselves. (The best kind of villain is the one who has a point)

Steven was pretty obnoxious early on, but for most of the show at this point he's generally been pretty reasonable about things. His pacifist attitude may seem more trouble than its worth, but it's a valid protagonist approach, see Aang. (and much like Aang, he finds that sticking to your principles no matter what is difficult and demanding even if you are incredibly powerful; but still perhaps worth doing to make an example)

While it's true the show revolves around him, he actually has a minor role in the actual plot, which mostly reduces to "I'm gonna cry a bit until these cunts realize they are being stupid and feel bad about it" or that reverse abortion mutant who unwillingly killed his mother. SU without SU would probably be slightly darker or more action-oriented, more in line with a shounen anime, and would probably have way more tension since nobody could keep the Crystal Gems in check to avoid them killing each other over minor shit or muh consent.


Don't get me wrong, Steven isn't actually a bad character and I like the way he is, but I feel he is the right man in the wrong series. His innocence clashes way too much in a plot about alien imperialism and absolute madwomen who decided to stick it to the all-powerful emperors. It's almost like the plot is asking for more cynical or otherwise rude characters rather than a kid who solves everything with emotional diplomacy. I have nothing against non-action protagonists, but the problem here is this diplomacy usually appears unwillingly because he started to cry in the right moment. In other words, he is not an active character, but a passive character who happens to solve the problem of the day through pure chance. I do remember some episodes where he actually had the brains or skill to solve problems, though, and those were nice.

Whenever user implies again I come straight from cuckchan, I'll link them this thread.

Liking this shit isn't in any way better than cuckchan.

Oh yeah, I forgot it's true Holla Forums culture to hate everything.

Eh, I think there's something amusing about how in a series dominated by powerful women with varying levels of brain problems who are perfectly happy to use violence to solve problems, it's a young man who is caring, thoughtful and strong-willed enough to use reason, empathy and kindness to try and defuse conflict at every turn.

It seems implied that, basically, Steven as a human/gem hybrid couldn't exist without Rose giving up her life to pass down her powers and abilities to him. It was ultimately a form of suicide, perhaps arguably reincarnation; there's a running theme that many Gem concepts are comparable to human ones, but definitely not straight analogues. (Also doesn't help that gems CAN'T die; the closest thing is being shattered, which just means the remnants of your psyche cling to existence forever in shards desperate to re-unite)

Hush

Oh, look, another libtard.

Actually, the closest thing to perma gem death might be the implied origin of the cursed scroll; gem shards crushed up to make pigments.

I thought Chris-Chan was the original lolcow?

And all of their laughable concerns ended up being vindicated in time, but let's ignore that.

Surely those D&D players are all worshipping Satan in their basements right now. Did I also mention how violent videoames resulted in a massive increase of mass murderers?

Yeah but first you need talent, which the "Crewniverse" do not have.

He's talking about SJWs.

The UK had the right idea.

Of course Holla Forums is always right! When they aren't, it simply doesn't count.

I never said they were always right.

mentions conservatives were lolcows (probably for the reasons mentioned in )
said "all of their laughable concerns became true" to counteract the previous statement
mocked all those times they weren't right
mentioned "but they were right in this aspect"

"In this aspect" doesn't imply "in all aspects" unless "this aspect" is the only aspect. Considering , it is safe to assume there was more than one aspect, and that they were wrong in those, thus invalidating 's claim of "being always right".

You may have never said they were always right, but if you defend , which is a false statement, you are trying to imply was wrong, which it isn't.

Conclusion: conservatives were wrong in many aspects.

Not where it matters.

Had they managed to ban videogames (your next sentence will be "I don't care about videogames!") or tabletop gaming, I am fairly sure you wouldn't be saying that right now.

You're thinking of liberals right now.

Were you born yesterday?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(activist)

Sure, there are always one or two authoritarian conservatives, but in general, the people who want to ban shit are liberals.

-t someone who has learned everything they know about politics from Holla Forums charts
It didn't use to be like this, but yeah.

It was always like this; more people are just coming around to realizing it.

Or real life, but whatever helps you not kill yourself.

Do you have any single fact to back that up? Because I have plenty to back up mine, unless your definition on what makes politics conservative or liberal are "conservative = things I like; liberal = things I dislike".

Yeah sure. Nobody here has gotten out of the basement, so don't try to act all though and normalfaggy now.

Joseph Stalin, for one.

When will the misrepresentation stop?

Except for me, in that case, because I have a job and I talk to people.

Liberals arecrazy bad, but you wouldnt want to be governed by those snake charmer crhistfags, everything is Sin to them, and I mean everything, and of course they would force the religion in to politics.

Benito Mussolini.

Sure.

You know, I never understood how anybody could watch this show and consider it good. Sure you have your casual normie fags who only watch it so they can make shitty fan art and memes, but I don't get the people who legit think this show is well written and has good characters.

Sure the show may have a lot of decent build up, but the story is constantly ignored for the sake of "Steven does this" types of filler episodes that make up 99 percent of a season. It just kills any interest one might have in the show and its lore, trust me when the show first started I actually was interested in all the stuff their building up, like the Homeworld, various corrupted Gems and Gem Drills, but I kept losing interest because the show just fucking refused to try and stay on a consistent plot.

Everytime something interesting would happen the writers would always follow it up with a godawful bullshit filler episode that made the lead Gems even worse, plus despite the fact Steven is 14 years old, he still acts like a goddamn 10 year old! You'd think with all the shit he's seen he would actually want to start asking important questions such as, should we care about the Diamonds? Why did my mom shatter Pink Diamond? Why didn't you tell me she shattered Pink Diamond sooner?

But nope he just goes on his marry way pretending like the events of the previous episode didn't effect him at all.

Anybody who thinks this show has good writing is a fucking moron who deserves to be shot on site.

Like I said, there are always a few authoritarian conservatives, but conservatism is not authoritarian.

The only way to enforce social conservativism is through authoritarianism, though.

Oliver Cromwell comes memorably to mind. Banned theatre, dancing and Christmas.

Social conservatism is libertarianism. The opposite is social liberalism, which includes the likes of Anita Sarkeesian and Hillary Clinton.

legitimately kek'd at that. too good.

Shit, especially Holla Forums. I can't believe I knew about this term but never thought to apply it to them. It fits so perfectly. Nigga synthesis.

Why should anyone make fun of a child for acting silly, he's a kid. Or do you think it would be good for a boy who wears a dress for a performance to be treated poorly?

They said that the scene was made for a joke. If that's the case, why does no-one—even Lars, the resident asshole—laugh at him? Not a single man or woman of the village treats it like anything out of the ordinary, he might as well be dressed as Michael Jackson or Elvis. They wrote and animated that scene for a clear reason, and with all the other painful pro-"LGBT-plus" shit, I think it's clear what the reason is.

Since when? Social conservatism is 'family values', anti-gay and anti-drugs, the entire thing that the Republicans campaign on. Libertarianism is sometimes described as 'Socially liberal, fiscally conservative', ie; fuck anyone you want, literally and figuratively. Or in any case, 'social conservative' is never used for libertarians that I've ever seen.

(Of course, all these words are usually twisted beyond recognition because politics is a collective delusion. Commies in Russia and China manage to be near-indistinguishable from the religious right in practice when it comes to social issues, despite being nominally atheist)

What did he mean by this?

Since the abolition of blackface in the media. Since it became a death wish to mock an individual if they weren't straight, white, able-bodied, and male. Since universities started delegating freedom of speech to certain areas on their campus. All of which were the result of social-liberal engineering.

So, I take it you agree.

Well, yeah, that's true. I didn't think simply being ok with LGBT in general would ever be a problem. Only being all sjw about it is a problem and I don't think SU meets that criteria. That said, what might qualify as "sjw enough" would be a pretty personal opinion.

Exactly.

You should have just put a period after "think."

This thread is the Overwatch general of Holla Forums and should be treated as such.
FUCK OFF TUMBLR KIKES!


Good joke.


Atleast UK children won't be exposed to such degeneracy.

It's not the fact they portrayed homosexuality. it's the intention they had for doing so.

...

As a matter of fact I do.

...

Could you be any more obviously a half/co/ faggot?

So wait, you really do miss the comedy gold that was blackface?

Well, no, I wasn't around when it was popular. What I meant is, it shouldn't have been censored and looked down on to the extent that it has.

...

I thought that nigger was 8 years old! HOLY SHIT! THAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE!!

They actually point out in an ep he hasn't aged much since he as 8, mostly due to technically not ageing unless he makes an effort, and he doesn't have much control over it. Though he seems to be growing, slowly.

That means that because he isn't physically aging, his mental age also gets stunted thus the CGs being okay with him betting pampered like he is still a child and not let him be responsible for his own actions.

That's kinda twisted. Though that means fuck character development.

Well I keep bringing it up in other places, but what'd be your guys pick for the next location Steven and co. go to? They've already been to Empire City and such, so where next? If you asked me, I'd say my money's on the West Coast or Kansas, but I'd also kinda' hope the show goes to somewhere like that Mega-Brazil or Siberia to see how much the Gem presence changed the local landscape and shit.

Hrm… I may be an optimist, but I can see that becoming a plot point. They've made a thing of Steven gaining gradual control of his powers, so maybe his aging will come into play as well.

I think that's mostly excuse to keep his apparent age vague for target demographic appeal, and so they don't have to redesign him too much. (and when they do it can be all in one go)


Kinda funny that Steven's travelled all over the world, technically, but never really explored it much. Reminds me of Hank and Dean Venture.

Ehh, dunno', I'd say Sugar and co. ain't shrewd like that to do it for that reason.

I guess most of the places he's been to are the Gem-centric locations.

Lolcows don't exist I looked up lolcow convention on google and got no results, therefore lolcows don't exist.

More people should listen to FNGR's beliefs on politics. People on Holla Forums like to make fun of him and say that he is an idiot, but personally I think he is secretly a genius and an excellent troll.

Why doesn't Pearl just user her training dummies to help fight?

Maybe they're just that: for training.

There kinda was a whole episode demonstrating that they're not very useful for anything but single-minded duelling. Might be good for a distraction or to hold a narrow corridor or something.

...

You people have brought this upon yourselves.

Stop watching this show.

feels good fam. sage because su is shit

I don't feel it's fair to shit on her just because her cuck brother desperately wants to fuck her.

Then shit on her for this

What the fuck did she do to Rise? She sounds not LIKE her.

Why are the gems so retarded?

Why are your balls outside of your body?

...

...

Temperature regulation.

And your comparison is dumb because testicles aren't "vital" to personal survival. The human organ equivalent to gems would be brains and hearts and both of which are surrounded by bone.

Gems summon their weapons from their gems, and the gem is basically their actual body, the physical form is just a convenience to move it around.

Though Jasper's helmet is the only thing that actually directly protects a gem we've seen.

Why don't they just have their weapon on hand?

Some clearly do, but consider the tradeoffs. Huge weapons are unwieldy unless you're a fusion, and if you lose or throw them you can't just summon another one like you can with gem weapons.

(Lion's function as a walking armory seems to be quite unusual, but no one really knows what the fuck he is)

Steven Universe is shit

But isn't Rose living inside Steven? Pearl could do the same.

So Steven Universe doesn't get a Metacritic page, but all of its crappy bootleg mobile games get one?

Can't you guys just hide this thread and move on? I dislike Steven Universe, probably more than you, being named Steven, but anons can like what they like.

I never said they couldn't (though I will say that supporting it is like hitting an Alzheimer's patient on the head, in that you're making a serious problem worse), I just provided the fact that at least a dozen unlicensed games using elements from a show all have dedicated pages on a review website, while the show proper does not.

No, this is Holla Forums user, everyone has to deal with getting shit-talked, except for circle-jerk threads.

Holla Forums is becoming a bunch of whiny bithches crying for their hugbox.

Becoming?

My Little Pony broke Holla Forums, now they demand to have everything they don't like banished from their sight.

I bet 10 bucks she plays the mystery girl the next time she shows up.

Just stop.

I don't know.
If you kicked me in the balls I would certanly be in oblivion for a set amount of time.

But we hate Steven Universe.

What could've fixed this show?

Not existing in the first place.

Lauren Zuke wants to give us all a very special message! laurenzuke.tumblr.com/post/152265510279/thanks-everyone

Do you now see what you've all been supporting?

Rebecca a CUTE

Where do you think you are?
Hate is what fuels the site.

Okay no
I like SU but she ugly

Go away from life. You are part of the movement that will destroy the human race.

Liking a kid's show is doing that? These threads are hate circlejerks anyway

Feminism, an ideology rooted in the show itself, is doing that. Hillary Clinton, a "person" who will be elected almost solely due to pressure from regressive feminists, wants to instate a no-fly zone in Syria, which will start a war between the US and Syria, as well as the US and Russia, and could easily escalate to nuclear war. Therefore, feminism, and Steven Universe by extension, will end the human race.

Do you hear yourself talk

Yes. Do you hear me?

Of course, if she get elected, it will be feminism's doing and not a petty thing like Big Money support…

Even without the help of large corporations, have you seen the polls? The only reason she's rising is because of uninformed people hearing someone on Tumblr call Donald Trump "sexist" for stupid reasons.

Thoses allegations wouldn't even be on the news if it wasn't for the support of corporations.

Fixed.

It's true though.
Hillary is there just because it's a fad.
First the nigger, now the cunt.
How revolutionary, a female president.

And that user is right on the no-fly zone as well, everyone between candidates and military is saying "A no-fly zone will start a war you cunt".

Why are we talking about Trump and Hillary in a thread about some gay little boy and his magic lesbian moms?

Because the brand of feminism that got her where she is now is the same brand that created Steven Universe, and it will also lead to nuclear apocalypse.

...

How do you think she keeps Bill alive?

What about Peridot's Visor?

The point is it goes in the other way you fucking retard. Corporations fund Hillary and protect their investment.

She doesn't need to influence them anyway. Every news station that reported it is run by feminist sellout cucks.

Rebecca is a UGLY MAN-JAW

Because the show's dead, Jim.

Irrelevant.

They dont want horrible things happening to the good guys.

They gave up on any semblance of a plot for the sake of pandering.

I would catch up on rando episodes to see where this series was going because it looked like it was developing a plot, Steven was evolving as a character.


Nope, it seems like he reverts back as a character constantly, he's emotionally stunted. Things got real with the cluster arc, which is where the series looked like it was going places.

Nope, ended it with a lesbian space rock orgy, and after that, it's been emotional fee fee roller coaster the show.

Jasper was the closest thing to an abusive male the show had, and wrote her off like they would an evil man.

Greg is permacuck failure, he's okay, and steven can become a trap when fused to connie, so that's okay.

masculine character gets resigned to a shitty fate.

Same goes for that gem whoopie goldberg. too masculine, got written off.

Now everyone can fuck around for the rest of the series with a looming plot plot point that will never get used before the show gets cancelled.

All these hiatuses are likely them procuring money to justify the show's existence as it likely doesnt pull in the income that CN wants.

Like someone else pointed out, the animation quality is getting lower. They are probably facing budget cuts all over.

not pussing out on taking risks and steering the show into new directions that may not have gone over with the fee fee crowd, but advanced the plot.

The cluster should have had a bigger impact, there should have been more of an attempt to fight it before he went "hey have a gay orgy" and earth should have seen a bit of damage, just to drive the point home that the homeworld gems are fucking assholes and started the next build up to stop the homeworld gems from ruining the universe as they attempted to do so with earth.

Steven actually having to kill the cluster like how he "killed" that Ruby and Bismuth. Realizing that life isnt all Rosy and not every conflict can be resolved with words. They kind of did that later on with the Ruby and Bismuth characters, but it was pretty weak.

is this really a kids cartoon? because it reads like a horrible evangelion fanfic

I don't know what to tell you. On one hand, the post you replied to is a bad fanfic.
On the other hand, the show itself is also a bad evengelion fanfic. Pics related.

okay
Okay okay okay okay okay okay
what the fuck
No, what the FUCK
is with these modern cartoons having Eva references? I don't fucking get it and it's pissing me off. Eva wasn't good. It never was good. The creator thinks that it's a waste of animation cells. So why the fuck do these fucking garbage cartoonists think that putting this garbage anime reference in their show will somehow boost their numbers? The kids don't know what that shit is, and the adults who do know it either a) have enough taste to know it was shit and this show is shit or b) are brain dead and think eva had some redeeming qualities, and therefore probably like 2deep4u stuff and would not like this ankle deep kids toon about a fat jew and his harem of gems that will all never ever go out with him. Adventure time did the same god damn thing and it's just as bad; I understand that it's easy to draw parallels, since Eva gives a bullshit but very thinly justifiable idea where a teen boy would not be able to handle the responsibility of a giant robot, even though the navy has taught me that people are fine with that sort of thing even at young ages; hell, a fucking kid could pilot a tank and if they really wanted to they could be a bad ass child soldier. Tank Kid.
Anyway, Finn went through a mental collapse from righteous, naive paladin to screaming baby boy who really doesn't get how anything works; the instant they made him more like shinji it got worse, and it's not hard to see why. Steven is going through a very lax version of this it seems; he's a dumb kid, great, whatever, but over time the idea of his character growing up is just turning into another shinji story; "hurr durr I'm a child and even though my brain should allow me to develop into a man with some realization that is comprised of my past experiences I'm going to continue to stay in this child mentality and continue to not get it."
I understand that people can experience stress, and too much stress can lead to brain fuckups, but stimulation is also a good thing and the fact that he experiences a world as a child, seeing these colorful, cartoony villains to fight on a daily basis would probably stimulate him like a child playing very bright, flashy video games; Fuck yeah, if I was a kid and in that situation I would grow up fucked up, but in a different sense, where my world would be more like I'm in this comic book and I'm fighting these villain of the week types all the time. The sense of reality I would have would probably dwindle and I'd probably need therapy to understand that I need to make a distinction between the fighting and the normal, mundane life. Even better than that, don't fucking bring up the real world aspect.
Power puff girls; these girls were born however old they are, they were thrown into the world only knowing their father and that they have powers. No bullshit about the mental effects of being a super powered fighting child, just silly characters doing awesome shit. It was a simple time, where cartoons could just be about mundane shit without being about real world shit all the time or goofy out-of-this-world shit that wouldn't ever fucking bring up the question, "What if they were real" because they clearly define that they are not real. G.I. JOE WAS FUCKING GRITTY AS FAR AS CARTOONS WENT BACK THEN AND IT STILL WASN'T GOING ON ABOUT THE FUCKING PSYCHOTHERAPY A FUCKING SOLDIER WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH DEALING WITH THAT KINDA TEAM FOXHOUND/BEAUTY AND BEAST/DEAD CELL/WHATEVER THE FUCK!
So what I'm sayin' is, I want cartoons to go back to the way they were. I don't need your pretentious bullshit about how growing up with super powers would be hard, spiderman already showed us how cool that shit would be and now today they may have raped him with the nigger dick, but if we just went back we'd see the joys of being a boy with cool powers. I just want to go back to hard escapism; that's what cartoons were for.

I like Eva for making fags like you go nuclear levels of butthurt

Was this master plan.
Level it /sueg/ alone for awhile then when it's seem to be mid weak, try to post unrated shit that's bashing on the show, even if it wasn't even on the show, just discourage everyone.

lol calm down

I tell ya, the fun of liking SU is watching it drive people who don't like it to levels of apoplectic autism never seen since My Little Pony. Screaming, arm-flailing butthurt and thinking themselves enlightened people for it.

You can suck as much cock as you like, but don't get mad if someone calls you a faggot.

I have not dumped my shit here in a while

Gems with boobs still weirds me out. Mostly because it's so off-model.

At the very least, I can see Ruby being flat, Sapphire being shortstacked and Garnet being in between.

So how many of you fags are pissed that your antichrist won the election?

How much has the show improved?

None. It's just as bad as when it started.

The show is basically the metaphor of the xmen mixed with eva, but if it was written by a 14 year old.

...

Thought it's more DBZ/Transformers but girly.

...

Yis!

this must be why ruby's are so likable

I bit the bullet and went to halfchan for the episode gem harvest
mega.nz/#!K1EijbYQ!82-8GbmRX795BnP0oExqTLQL_HD9hX3InDJGLsNwyIM

That's mainly cause animators as a whole are lazy and most of the time in TV shows you're lucky if time actually exists, cause puberty doesn't, characters get older though time skips between seasons, not through time itself.


It's mainly because even with the hiatuses the people writing it have no ideas or inspiration, they've cornered themselves into a situation where all they can come up with is filler and rely on hype alone to get their viewers interested. The only way something halfway interesting could happen is if Sugar gets her sanity memed out of existence and goes full Anno with an SU movie that acts as a big middle finger to both fans and CN execs

Meme the sad face

You can't force a meme by telling people to make it a meme.

(checked)
I had to as well. Thanks for posting it here.

>Greg's former last name is DeMayo.
>he's actually a wop.

what is wrong with this particular animator
his faces always look so weird and off model, on par with the first quarter of S1 quality.

Not bad, though I know the Holla Forums parts of Holla Forums are going to get all counter-triggered over a few things.

The pumpkin pet opening plot is slow, annoying and doesn't amount to much.

But the gems hastily trying to adopt human culture was funny and kind of cute at times. I loved the bit with the tombstone as well as the wedding cake having about a dozen figurines on it. Spoiled because comedic surprise.

...

So typical filler huh?

Why doesn't that shock me?

Probably because you sort of expect that from them now and yet there's so many people that talk about how it's not filler as if it's somehow still fun to see foreign beings assimilate into human culture

...

D I V E R S E

And you still watch this shit because…?

Hot lesbian shipping
Plus every episode there's a small chance they'll be abducted by Homeworld and never see another townie

...

Is this guy voiced by Carl

He's totally voiced by Carl

Funny thing about the Gem's social dynamics; it seems that, for the most part, if you put one of the Gems alone with a human character, they'll probably get along and find common ground eventually. But Andy has every right to be freaked out only seeing the Gems all together.

Since the current episode is" look conservatism is bad because reason", I highly expect a future episode is going to be damage control on trump being elected.
I can see it now it will probably involve major Dewey being replaced in a filler episode but we will still be conditioned into disliking the new character because "he is being mean".

No, you're just being equal and opposite stupid with the tumblrites. It's blatantly obvious Carl is pissed because strangers are using his pool, them being weirdos on to of that just adds to the primary outrage.

There's a few things that are familiar to the straw bigot plotline, but it doesn't quite check the more important items on the list.

From his perspective they're trespassing on and ruining family property.

He says they can have the barn and scams because he feels like he's become the outsider crashing a family gathering.

A nigger is a nigger, even in a dream.

White working class Middle American Democrats in a nutshell

It's like the comic that was on here a day or two ago listing not having corrupt media like it was a bad thing.

Carl VA was a plus, learning about Gregs family was actually interesting.
episode was OK/10
way better filler then the last couple of episodes.

The comic is very likely pro-Trump (Steven calling himself a white knight)

What about the illuminati ring, money tie, and creature in Donald's hair? That makes me feel more like it's anti-Trump and the artist thinks being a White Knight is something admirable.

...

Wow.

What the fuck is this shit. Are they serious?

He's less wrong the more literal he becomes.

This is about as nuanced as a brick hurled at Rebecca Sugar's retarded head.

It's so incredibly blatant. There cannot possibly exist a human being who learns about the existence of aliens and then yells at them for being "illegal immigrants".

I'd say it's more like driving a truck through a house than a brick.

Gotta brainwash the young to be tolerant of illegals while they still can.

Not to mention all the subtle gay marriage shit
>"Aunt deb.. she and her partner got the RV"

It's fucking retarded that this show can go months on hiatus and then the first full-length episode they do is another pointless FEEEEELS episode loaded primarily focused on a bigoted character who screams moronic sexist things and hates illegal immigrants. If there was any hope of this show getting its shit back together, it's gone now.

wha


could have just as well be another of his "liking marriage" thing.

the artist dislike the show , Trump (but not as much as he hates Hillary ) .He is shitposting in art form

I really hope uncle carl sticks around
Those shitty lars episodes might be balanced out if we get some of this every now and then

...

Surprised at all the whining given the moral of the episode is 'Just because someone has views you don't like and is weirded out by what you consider normal doesn't mean they can't and don't have perfectly valid reasons to be angry, or that they can't be reconciled with'.

It's not like he's presented as a loser or idiot, he's a goddamn biplane pilot who travels around the world. And the Gems are, if anything, portrayed as even bigger jerks to humans than usual, barely making an effort to understand him. They have a similar issue to Rose in that still for the most part think of humans as a collective and ignore individuals, which is pretty much textbook racism. Biracial Steven spends the entire episode desperately trying to get them to find a way to connect, given he wants to connect with a side of his heritage he'd never known about.

He comes to the realization that the changing values are - somehow - his fault for not visiting people.

Because he had a plane the whole time.

Well yeah. The world's going to move on whether you like it or not. He realised that as much as he was mad at Greg for leaving, he and everyone else in the family did, and it's his own fault for staying in touch. He took his family for granted and now they're almost all gone, and things are never going to be what they used to be.

Not like plenty of people haven't dealt with a once close knit family drifting apart, and finding what used to be their support network is all gone.

Oh grow a fucking pair you goddamn pussy! I watched X Men and Gargoyles as a kid and those shows didn't try to treat kids like idiots and tell them that bigotry doesn't exist, they handled bigotry and racism quite well because they knew kids weren't special snowflakes you couldn't handle adult situations.

Just do the entire world a favor and kill yourself already Dob.

...

...

GemsRtheRealRacists

That's my problem, though. He was portrayed as some dumb uncle that watches Fox News when nothing he says is actually irrational. And the gems were clearly being cunts, but they never apologized and they, as is usually done when they pull some cunty shit, are treated as being in the right. Like with the oven. It's all Andy's fault for not letting them recycle shit and he should just get over them breaking apart a plane that doesn't belong to them and has very strong sentimental value for him.

Do you know what would've been interesting, if the humans in this show actually had a larger role in the story instead of being misogynist caricatures, conservative strawmen, and apathetic bystanders which is apparently most of humanity since they don't give a fuck about the gem related catastrophes.

What if during the Rebellion, Homeworld conscripted and artificially enhanced humans to be gem-like, immortal and used against the rebels? Turn the lifeforms the rebels swore to protect against their protectors. They'd be like African askaris of the European colonial powers, Natives who were born and raised in tribes but work for the colonialists. Humans fighting for Homeworld would have them be seen as the equivalent of child soldiers in the eyes of the rebels which would cause them to hesitate and be easily defeated by zealous warriors yearning to serve the Diamonds. They'd be the most effective fighting force in Homeworld's possession, even if what they're fighting for was based on a hollow lie. And after the war, they regroup and form their own organization and persuade humans into believing them to be the children of the Diamonds. And they'd make it their mission to bring the Homeworld gems to Earth to be turned into gems themselves and serve the Diamonds, which would put them at odds with the Crystal Gems for the next 5,000 years. The presence of this group would cause the Crystal Gems to question whether all life is worth protecting and facing the consequences of their lack of understanding and neglect for humanity and its major problems.

pearl begins to apologize at the end but andy cuts her off

Too interesting and complex for anyone working on SU to write. Plus it has no lesbian space rocks so its boring for the tumblrina audience.

...

Doesn't that play more to the fact that they were wrong about those other characters more than them being right about carl?

What is the point of this comic? Steven gave each of them a chance to prove themselves (sometimes multiple times) and they all tried to kill him.

Was about to say exactly this.

Seriously, the only thing that Andy did is basically to just want people to stop screwing with his stuff that is really HIS STUFF. They could have apologized for taking and using his things without his permission, and also request that they stay.

Episode could have played out like normal from there, same series, same everything, and it still would have worked.

Strangely enough, the crystal gems are basically acting like the hippies from the King of the Hill episode where bobby trades his dads stuff for soup, and then realizes that he can't trade anything to get his dad's stuff back.

Every single gem there tried to murder Steven.

Bumping

With 8ball predictions

I think the lesson here is that humans are a lot better at solving problems than Gems, and the Crystal Gems' social skills all need serious work. I mean, these people are messed up. And funny thing is, all the active Gems on Earth getting around a table to talk to each other rather than staying in their little cliques is a huge improvement, but not the best time for a human to try and get to know them.

Kind of a lesson here that a family consists of people, and takes an active effort to create and keep together. Andy took his for granted, he only just realised, and the world moved on without him.

fam I brought the link back and I am Holla Forums


yes, one off uncle to explain the barn and the guy will probably never come back

well said fam

Wouldn't happen to have a mirror on hand, would you? It's already dead.

Mind if I post more 8 ball predictions?

You mean it's almost as if the entire crystal gems species is driven by…………

………bad writing~

Still waiting for White Diamond to be revealed as a Trump strawman.

White Diamond is Putin. Yellow Diamond is meant to be Trump (her helmet resembles Trump's hair). Steven's Mom is Hillary Clinton, and Greg is Bernie Sanders. Lars is John Podesta.

Wow, you creatures make yourselves look better and better!

...

No just shallow writing masquerading as complex.

Their depth is paper thin, and falls apart under any examination.

Same goes for the worldbuilding, character relationships, action, animation, backgrounds, music…I think the whole show.

I'm just gonna say it; if you enjoy Steven Universe, whether "ironic" or not, you are indefensible.

My theory: in the Steven Universe timeline, Trump stepped up his presidential run to 1988 since the country was in such a shitty state with all the (((gems))) causing havoc. He became the 41st president rather than the 45th, winning in a landslide victory taking every state except Delmarva.

Vice-president Oprah Winfrey becomes the first black womyn president in 1996, but loses her second term to the first openly gay president Hillary Rodham in 2000. This explains both why the show is more progressive in regard to minorities, and why there is a massive hole in the middle of Russia.

Even if you only enjoy it for the porn?

Did I stutter? Can you even stutter through text?

Yeah, yeah, we know. Tumblr cooties.

Yeah, yeah, we know. Breitbart cooties.

Glad to see Steven as part of the new breed of anti-democratic Educated Youth™.

I don't get it.

Look at his sweater.

You're mistaking plot holes with flaws.

Example.
The ruby that tried to murder Steven said "They will give me a Pearl", this would imply that gems have a sense of private property.
If a human comes and say "OI THIS SHIT IS MINE THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING" a race that is made by IMMORTAL GEMS and thus has a clear concept of time shouldn't be going "uh wuzat wuzoing on?" They should go "Oh so that is who built this shack and placed all that stuff inside!".

If you have the concept of time + private property then you should be able to realize that if there is a building somewhere someone must have built it, thus that someone has most likely ownership over it.

...

...

Ok, so… the gems are baby kidnappers and Pearl was about to murder a baby.

Why are them better about raising a child again? why aren't they bubbled like the other monsters in this series? Why Greg didn't just called them out of their shitty behavior? Why is this series trying so hard to make us simpatize with a bung of selfish assholes?

I see Steven was still rocking his anti-democracy sweater in the latest episode.

Its written by autistic people who don't understand morality and socialization.

You know there's a single phrase for that, right?

...

When you SJWs launch the nukes, I will.
