> I think one of my favourite things about “Steven Universe”, and one of the things I find most touching and personally affirming, is the relationship between Rose Quartz and Greg.
> I mean, here’s Rose, who’s represented as this powerful, intelligent, charismatic, beautiful woman, respected as both a warrior and a leader. She travels to Earth and decides to spend her life there, and in 6000 years, the human she decides is most interesting, most engaging, most beautiful…is Greg.
>>83845247
Greg is a doofus. He’s bald. He’s fat. He’s a slob with no sense of style or grooming. He’s practically homeless. He’s a failed rock and roll star whose dreams of fame and fortune ended with him running a small town car wash and living in the back of an ancient van. In any other show, he would be the loser of the cast, the fuck-up, the somewhat lovable, helpless goofball who can’t be counted on for anything.
But Rose thought he was beautiful.
>>83845264
It’s something of a sitcom parody; the dimwitted, ugly, slovenly husband with the beautiful, intelligent wife. Fred and Wilma, Archie and Edith, Peter and Lois, Homer and Marge. But Rose and Greg’s relationship isn’t like that. Even in my favourite of those relationships, that of Marge and Homer, Homer is presented as more than a bit of a jerk. Oh, he’s a fundamentally decent man who genuinely loves his family and treasures his wife, but he’s also selfish, thoughtless, more than occasionally neglectful, lazy, and self-centered. And more than that, in those shows, the husband is really the main character. Most of the wife’s role is reacting to his antics.
But that’s not Rose and Greg’s story.
>>83845278
Greg is a good man. Not just a decent guy under the jerky exterior, but a truly and fundamentally good man. He stands up to his misogynist buddy. He adores and encourages his son in every way. He is kind and giving to everyone he meets. He works hard, even though it’s a job that he never wanted and that has taken the place of his dream. Speaking of that, even though he’s never seen even a lick of the stardom he dreamed of, Greg has never lost sight of his ambitions. He still plays music, still sings, still performs, still writes albums. Greg may never make it as a rock star, but he will never stop trying. This is what Rose saw. This is what Rose, one of the most powerful and respected warriors and generals of her people, came to love.
>>83845293
In a world where success and worth are measured primarily in material gains and career-based achievements, Greg is a reminder of what’s truly important. In the show, his failed music career, his chubby build, his sloppy clothes, his poverty…they don’t matter. What’s emphasised is the true, human beauty of Greg; the warmth, the kindness, the courage, the imagination, the dedication to art and devotion to family. It’s a reminder to all of us who have been pushed to be “successful”, been hassled about when we were “going to get serious”…that even if we are living in poverty, even if we have no real career, even if we’re not conventionally attractive or haven’t achieved all we’ve wanted to…we still have value.
We still have beauty.
And we are still loved.

>>83845247
A big part of that was that Greg actually challenged Rose. He forced her to realize that, even after 6000 years, she didn't really understand the humans whose company she enjoyed. Greg called her on that, and by that point she cared enough about him to take that criticism seriously.
New episodes when?
No one can ignore the Universe
Fuck off back to your containment area.
>>83846326
Who?
>The purpose of imperfection is to be grinded into cheap unhealthy food for the rabble
That's not very inspiring, is it?
I think it's less that "Greg Universe has been identified as the best human" and more like how we can't tell which dogs are considered sexually desirable by other dogs. The CGs are too fucking alien.
Why would RQ care about Greg's fat balding body? Her kind doesn't breed so they aren't repulsed by features that would effect the health and vitality of their hypothetical young.
Rose thought he was funny.
>>83845247
>tfw women are so dum they fall for the first guy who cares for them beyond the physical
muh feminism, much empowerment
>>83845278
>with the beautiful, intelligent wife

>beautiful
>intelligent
Anyway, >>83846438 brings up good points. A race with shapeshifting powers is never going to value basal appearances and physical traits.
>>83846142
An announcement's possible today or tomorrow, zap2it's not showing anything on the 30th but that could change, July 7th looking likely at the moment.
>>83845264
Wait a minute what? Rose fell in love with Greg when he was a fucking sexy (upstart) rock star. Even Vidalia commented that Greg used to be hot back in the day. What the fuck is the point of all this?
>>83846502
Dipshit, rose said she's loved other humans before
>tfw no girl will ever find me attractive
I guess I'll always be a hotdog...
Greg is father of the year. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't watch the show.
What kind of man is Greg?
>>83846764
I always thought she was lying when she said that considering she asked Greg if he'd loved other people before answering yes.
It kinda came off like she was fishing for the "right" answer.
>>83846597
>New possible episode on July 7th
OH BOI FINALLY NEW EPISO...oh wait that would be Steven Floats. Fuck me why wasn't I patient enough
Is Steven Universe a guilty pleasure show?
There's literally nothing good about it.
>>83845247
>>83845319
>Making threads to advertise your blog
FUCK OFF
>>83845247
So, I like the show and Greg.
But op literally posted something straight out of tumblr.
This really is /coumbler/, isn't it?
>>83848196
It's pretty mediocre. I don't even categorize it as a guilty pleasure with me.
I still really like Adventure Time. Plebes are hating on it the past couple seasons, but fuck 'em.
>>83846596
Sure they do. Amethyst was looked down on for not being her full size, at least by Homeworld gems.
>>83846809
You have to work to win a common woman, or to find a diamond among them, and even the diamond will expect excellence.
You will only find camaraderie from other men.
Heh. Diamond. Rose confirmed for pink diamond.
>>83845307
I don't know. If she had "relationships" with humans in the past, Greg was probably a novelty for her. She probably picked exceptional humans, and Greg was chosen because he was not just ambitious, but a failure. When you've tried all the rest, why not explore those dead-ends to truly understand what makes greatness.
>>83848196
It's a meme to like SU.
>>83848666
>It's pretty mediocre. I don't even categorize it as a guilty pleasure with me.
>I still really like Adventure Time. Plebes are hating on it the past couple seasons, but fuck 'em.
How much do you think that Rebecca Sugar pays people to shipost in the AT threads.
>>83846994
A nu-male.
>>83846709
Greg looked like a faggot.
Vidalia just said to make Steven feel better.
>>83848666
When you think about it, SU is just a sad shadow of AT.
>>83848792
As is anything you don't like, right?
>>83849065
Nobody likes SU.
>>83848196
That's like your own opinion and taste mate. Lots of people seem to like it and for you it doesn't seem like your cup of tea. It could happen.
But guilty pleasure and/or meme show? Nah. It's completely possible to genuinely like it and there's nothing wrong about that
>>83849144
>TTG beats SU on a daily basis.
As one anon in the TTG thread put it:
>Little kids have enough sense to reject lesbian space rocks.
The next generation is growing up right.
>>83849174
Does CN ever release its daily ratings anywhere? I've always been curious about how their shows do in reruns. I know that in premiers it's lately been SU, AT, and RS that have been dominating though.
>>83849227
>AT, SU and RS
>dominating
Keep dreaming.
Meanwhile, TTG is going to get a crossover with PPG.
>>83849227
What did I just tell you? Kids want TTG not lesbian space rocks.
>I know that in premiers it's lately been SU, AT, and RS that have been dominating though
You're joking right??
>>83849330
Of course he is. Nobody likes that tumblr crap.
>>83849249
Eh, AT and RS are a bit over the place when you look at it, but they're comparable to TTG's ratings for the same night, and SU had the highest ratings of all of them. PPG's had the worst ratings out of the five, I don't know what you're talking about.
>>83849264
M8 I just want some numbers, I'm not implying anything about ratings until I see them, and your anonymous word on 4chan isn't exactly authoritative.
>>83849174
Yeah gee I wonder why. It's a show without any ongoing story so they could air reruns and produce episodes endlessly. It's an easy money cow for CN. When kids turn on the TV they're not given much of a choice than to watch TTG, because it's the only fucking show CN airs
>>83849227
>>83849385
Here's a rough estimate of their ratings.
AT: 400,000
RS: 700,000
SU: 100,000
PPG: 1,000,000
TTG: 2,000,000
And that's just what I found on Google.
>>83849419
And for good reason. Unlike SU, TTG doesn't push an agenda on innocent children.
>>83849419
You say that like it's a bad thing.
>>83849419
Is that chart accurate.
Because if so holy fucking shit. That's spongebob tier of "for the love of god, enough".
>>83849432
I can never find jack on reruns, direct link to source?

>It’s something of a sitcom parody; the dimwitted, ugly, slovenly husband with the beautiful, intelligent wife.
To be honest, as seen >>83845319
Greg was quite good looking when they started dating.
>>83849533
>fucking a pink landwhale and giving birth to a huge faggot is now considered alpha.
Greg is what every man should aspire not to be.
>>83849540
No he wasn't.
Take off your tumblr glasses.
>>83846438
>>83846596
If you spend enough time with dogs, you can pick up pretty quickly what make them look good or not.
Are you saying you don't know when a dog is ugly? Rose spend 6000 years with humans. Not only that , but gems and humans share humanoids body to start with.
>>83845293
>>83845307
Greg is a piece of shit. At least the examples you posted actually give a damn about their families.
>>83849567
Your low test is showing anon
>>83849644
Quit deflecting.
>>83849483
Yes, but it's outdated. It isn't that bad now.
>>83849659
If you think Rose was fat you're delusion. She's built like an amazon.
>>83849675
Sadly, CN has been listening to tumblrites and giving shows like RS, SU, AT and WBB more air time. It's a dark day for CN.
>>83849678
Last time I checked, Amazons didn't have KFC guts and Krsipy Kreme arms.

That's like saying "If every cell was perfect we wouldn't have cancer."
>>83849678
She's built fat. And she's not pretty either. And she didn't respect Greg until he blew up at her.
>>83849996
>implying this isn't how you pick up chicks
>>83845264
Because he totally was when he was a rockstar
Tell me you wouldn't a young Greg
>>83849996

You think Greg regretted not banging Vidalia and had to settle for Lardass Quartz?
>>83849884
Technically, cancerous cells ARE perfect. They're all-consuming, unstoppable, immortal.
>>83850065
He looked ugly as shit.
It's like someone shaved a gorilla and glued a carpet to his head.

>>83850470
Its bullshit
Steven Universe was one of the top rated shows on television for I forget which demographics (12-30?) the last time new episodes aired (the in too deep event)
Meet the dedicated Steven Universe shitposter, boys. He does this whenever /sug/ has been banned to the trash for some insane reason.
>>83850534
Alright , just post the link
>>83849029
I see it more as AT but it actually delivers on big things. SU has way better jokes and music too.
>>83848196
we're just all pretending to like it
i have a pretend blog where i draw pretend fan art and pretend to discuss the show in-depth
>>83849452
Space lesbians aren't real, retard.
Let's boil these posts down to a sentence:
>even though he isn't conventionally attractive, this cartoon character loves her partner for something besides his physical appearance.
#profound #feels
>>83849610
I find certain dogs ugly, but that's by a human metric.
I think my dog looks like ass, he's a fat shit who won't stop making the same stupid face, but the other dogs at the dogpark seem to be okay with him.
>>83849497
Use the proper terminology. It's "murdercock".
>>83850912
Disagree. "Big things" in AT don't matter as much as people think it should. It's not about giving closure. I actually feel more cockteased with SU, probably because I'm not satisfied or invested with the filler in between, whereas with AT that "filler" is so much thicker and doesn't feel like filler at all.
With SU, I think I'm more interested in gritty fan theories like Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond and Steven being her planned super-weapon {that will never happen because they've said no characters are "evil", which is why this is more interesting}, and ridiculous fan characterization stuff like gamer Peridot.
>>83851183
According to whom?
>>83845293
I just can't get over how ugly everyone looks. Steven is ugly, his dad looks ugly, they both look like the 'that kid' and his weirdo dad at any school anywhere. There, I said it, I'm a horrible person. Whatever.
>>83852275
That's a respectable opinion. What do you think of young Greg?
Holy fuck captcha, that is not okay
>>83850096
Yeah, if he banged that hot onion ass he wouldn't have a poofy lala faggot son who sings and cries all the time.
Ahh, smell that air. Smells likesummer
>Rose loved Greg despite his ugliness

Greg is the best human in the show.
>kind
>understanding
>willing to help and stick up for others
>determined in his younger days
>>83852275
Yeah, exactly, he is indeed "that kid" and his weird non-traditional family
The whole point is humanizing "that kid," showcasing that he's not just some failed non-entity that polite, succesful people should ignore
>>83852441

>>83854473
>Show's so slow, it will be forever before she comes back.
I ran this through yesterday, updated for today and only including long breaks;
>Total hiatus time:539 days
>Time on air: 956 days
>Percent of time on hiatus: ~56.38%
>And counting
We have legitimately spent more time in hiatus than getting new episodes, and CN probably has all of season 3 by this point.
>>83854547
Hahahah. Ahhh. What can ya do. The ride never ends. At least there's crazy fan art.
>>83855916
On that note, misseps is now saying that two of their schedules are giving two different airdates for Steven Floats: 12 PM on the 29th and 6 PM on the 30th. The third schedule shows nothing airing. Zap2it also has the episode airing on the 29th in the link below, but nowhere else.
http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/steven-universe-steven-floats/EP016164320406
What's going on? Is CN about to finally announce something?
>>83856111
Just when europoor me was about to fall asleep this evening, but good news! I mean at least it's still going to happen this month (although I watched Steven Floats already so that +1 week extra)
>>83856315
The thing is, the schedules conflict, and zap2it's fairly unreliable. Misseps tends to be more right than wrong, but with conflicting info like that it's still kind of sketchy. Here's hoping for an announcement in the next few hours or tomorrow.
>>83852510
bye.
>>83856356
At least those two different dates are near each other, so to me the chances of it being legit seems more likely
>>83856429
We can only hope, the cryptic nature of it all really drives me up the wall.
Would Eskimo kisses be super duper filthy to Jasper?
Like would she light up like a Christmas tree assuming Steven Universe's universe had Christmas if someone flirted with nose rubbing?
