This was posted 6 days ago but I can't find any threads in the archive about it

http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/963-rebecca-sugars-cartoon-worlds-have-the-best-music-on-tv/


>There’s a reason kids’ TV tends to produce a lot of infectious little songs like this—before they become effectively literate, music is an easy way for children to digest and process information. It’s why you still probably use "50 Nifty United States" to remember the names of all of the states, and why "Schoolhouse Rock" continues to be awesome/one of your primary sources of civics knowledge well into adulthood. It’s unsurprising, then, that "Adventure Time", one of the best and most complex pieces of television of the past few years, period, has created an excellent space for music.

>Without writing a longer, separate essay (or a book), the use of music on "Steven Universe" is both sublime and consistently astonishing in its capacity to top itself and surprise viewers, from the video game-influenced, crystalline score by composing team Aivi and Surrashu to the contributions of the rest of the "Steven Universe" team (particularly storyboarder Jeff Liu) to the most minor songs by recurring characters. That includes an R&B-inflected, goofy PSA about working in a doughnut shop, a punk diss track sung by a band full of time-traveling Stevens, and a whole catalogue for Greg Universe, Steven’s doofy dad (voiced by comedy star Tom Scharpling) who used to be an aspiring rock star, complete with flowing mane and busted tour van.

on topic the music in SU is pretty good. But Daniel Ingram on the cartoon voldemort program knocks it completely out of the park every time he has to write a melody.

I'd also say Andy Bean of the two man gentlemen band has done a far better job with music on Wander Over Yonder than any of the music in SU.

SU is 3rd place.

That's what I hate, I think. It's saccharine and melodramatic but reviewers act like it has actual serious story telling chops.

There's nothing resembling depth in the show, which is fine, cartoons don't need to be deep, but...

Well, in Greek Mythology Prometheus tricked Zeus into choosing a bunch of bones as a sacrifice over meat by dressing the bones up in delicious looking skin and fat

I feel like Steven Universe has managed to make people think it is better than it actually is by dressing up in progressivism and fat
>>

Well, you see, your problem is that you bought into the /co/ hivemind and decided that you didn't like something without ever actually seeing it. As a result, you twist basically everything about that thing to vindicate your delusion, and it makes you mad when the rest of the world doesn't jive with the small-scale hallucination you've manufactured for yourself.

Basically, you are a faggot.

It's a pretty valid question.

Judging by the the sheer number of unique IPs and speed of its general, SU probably has the biggest single fanbase on /co/, and it's full of people that don't give a shit about progressive progression whateverism. If people only thought it was good due to this shit, why would it be so popular here?

But half of those aren't sung to the original beat/chords, it even wraps around at the end to include the starting song.

In another show I'd take it as self-awareness, but by SU's standards it's more plausible that they were poking fun at something else while hinting at how positive and uplifting their own show is. I'm biased.

That is not a badge of honor, senpai.

/frz/ and /hsg/ had the largest unique IPs too

They did it twice, to make fun of themselves. Crying breakfrast friends, Greg makes a comment about not being able to understand how kids or anyone would want to watch a show about singing or crying.

This happens twice, and then another character references another character doing it, in universe.

Nothing in that post implies that it is.

It just shows that /co/, which is not really interested in progressive stuff except to occasionally chortle/rage at it, pretty much loves the show. There were generally seven to nine hundred fuckers in those threads at one time. Accounting for timezones, for people coming off and on, etc etc, sustaining that amount of dudes in one thread constantly pretty much means most of /co/ was watching.

How could progressivism be the main draw of the show it /co/ loves it?

Nah, shit fanbase or not, why would you spend your time hating a fucking children's cartoon? Unless you're fucked up in the head, too.

Face it, people are autistic over a cartoon they like. It's not a stretch that some people obsess over hating something, too.

In this case, SU had a rep already for being "tumblr" or having gay propaganda. It got hate already. Those who obsessively hate it jumped into this foundation and continue to hate it until now, as evidenced earlier in this thread.

It's truly okay to hate something; we all dislike something. But it's really odd that you would spend a chunk of your time and attention to get a cartoon banned in fucking 4chan.

The fanbase has gotten to the point where it's worse than MLP and Homestuck.

Neither of them ever tried to make a teenage girl kill herself.
>>
For all of its criticisms, I've really got to hand it to SU in the musical department. As far as musical quality goes the only other western TV animation that I can think of that compares to it is Hey Arnold, but that's a totally different world of music for the most part. EEnE also had God-tier background music, but it's more notable for matching what was happening on screen than standing on its own.

That Hey Arnold music though.

The only Homestuck suicide that would count is Andrew.
>>
>>77639183
Not a fan of either of those things, but this is an odd thing to claim.

The SU fanbase, especially in tumblr, is atrocious, but why is the action of a handful of people reflect the rest? I don't know if some pony fans really want to fuck horses, but I don't lump those that do with the rest.

And i think the whole suicide thing is more of a tumblr problem than an SU thing. This isn't their first foray into harassing/bullying someone for the name of social justice.

Someone really needs to write an article about them and their behavior. There were a couple of suicide blogs/posts in there for the last couple of years, and for some reason I fear that it's influencing young teens.

I think it started with the "tumblr" claim. At the very start, people were thinking the show is heavily influenced with the aesthetics and preferences of tumblr SJWs, so it got a bunch of haters early on.

Later on, the general became really atrocious with its waifu wars and shitposting, as any general would become. SU also attracted new 4chan posters (generals often do that). So whenever someone would criticize the show, some SU fans would explain, leading to the claim that SU posters are too sensitive and too eager to talk about their show. Others wanting to stop SU discussion has prompted some SU fans eager to talk about it instead.

Also, as evidenced in this thread, if there are people obsessively into the show, there are also people obsessively against the show. And because of the tumblr claim and the initial hate the show got (because it's tumblr, they say) a lot of people think it's cool to dislike the show.

Any slight mistakes related to the show (autistic fanbase, the suicide thing, gay propaganda, etc) will fuel the hate. It justifies their inexplicable dislike.

To be fair, SU has flaws. The art style isn't that great, the melodramatic story isn't for everyone, and the animation quality fluctuates. If you don't like singing in your cartoon, you'll dislike it. The fanbase can be awful. The 4chan fanbase (/sug/) is actually like any general here (generals tend to have a weird fanbase)---odd porn, waifufagging, waifuwars, etc. It's nothing surprising. The suicide thing in tumblr seems to be a tumblr SJW problem than an SU one.

It's actually really okay to dislike the show. It's the weird obsession that's really worrying.

>>77639363
But it is a tumblr show. I mean, that part can't be denied. There's a lot of little things all over the place, right down to Lars's ears and hair that point to this being created by tumblr types. The pilot was definitely worse in that regard.

But after I got past my personal roadblock of not wanting to watch it because of its tumblry undertones, I really enjoyed it. You seem to imply that it isn't tumblr, but it is. And that's okay.

>>77639399
>You seem to imply that it isn't tumblr, but it is. And that's okay.
But it's not, there's no tmblr message in there. The designs might be from that tmblr generation, but it's not tmblr itself.

It has offensive themes, what would be considered rape be aliens or whatever, and plenty of shaming. Those things wouldn't be represented if it was a tmblr show.

If you want a good example of a tmblr show the only good example that I can think of is Gravuty falls: roadside attraction. Most of the show isn't like that, but that episode specifically was the most retarded message I'd ever seen.

Was basically "don't hit on girls or you're a terrible person"

Dude, tumblr isn't one thing. That's like someone making a show that /o/ or /tg/ like and you claim it's a 4chan show.
You act like some webpage is solely responsible for the people that make a show when those people are actually just part of a close-knit group that deals with animation among a wider group of generally upper-middle-class adults under fourty.
tumblr just looks like the epitome of that group because it is the site of choice for nearly every artist, no matter what they think about the microblogging children that also hang around that site.
You are just conflating overlapping groups by ascribing their existence to the point where they intersect.
>>
>>77639492
There's a difference in that it hints it was made by tmblrites but ain't a tmblr show in itself. Tmblr are like the pc nazis, you can't say anything bad, CIS straight males should die and check their privilege, everyone is equal, fat is beautiful etc. They're basically a people of an oxymoron ideology and thier beliefs make little to no sense and have no basis in reality.

>>77639488
He asked for thier numbers, didn't even try to go on a date with any of them, so it wasn't like he was juggling women. Then he gets forced on a date with a woman he doesn't like because he was pressured into it, and then all the women he asked for numbers all beat on him, because that happens. They try to justify it at the end in that women do it too, but it takes up all of a minute of the show.
>>
>>77639399
I can see where you're coming from. I wasn't really saying that the show isn't tumblr, but at the same time I'm not saying it is. I guess it's because saying something is tumblr is kinda vague.

Is Lars' ears a tumblr thing? It is a unique design, I give you that. But does having a unique design a tumblr thing? I see it fits his douchey persona.

When we say "It's so tumblr", does that mean the character design reflects the aesthetics popular in tumblr, the ideologies present in the show are popular with tumblr, the actions/attitude of the main characters reflect tumblr's userbase?

To be fair, I don't really think some of these tumblr ideas are bad. Different female body types in a cartoon do add variations and style. In the case of Lars, his hair style and ear things add character to him. As for the gay propaganda people say, I do kind of agree that SU is pushing stuff, and whether you support the gayness or not is another political debate/story. Personally, I don't see it as that bad since they're subtle about it. I'm more worried about the Lars and Sadie episode.

In the end, I see SU as a cartoon trying to do something different. It will tick off people, and that's fine cause people get ticked off all the time.

But in the end I really do like this show and this conversation is going nowhere.

Dude, when you can't even explain your motives without using buzzwords or silly derivatives like that it feels like you have no real argument

I think this is more about what you perceive as "tumblr" rather than what the authors actually intend
For example you see a non-thin character and you immediately think of tumblr or SJWs in general because of all those silly fat-acceptance movements. Tumblr itself does that, of course
Instead of taking the character for what it is you'll both assume that the cartoon is trying to make a point instead of just doing it's own thing. But we've seen that's wrong, we've seen the crew defending the fanart with thinned characters, because they don't give a damn about fat acceptance, or at least they don't think the character in question is exclusively about that

It's not about what the cartoon does, times and cultures change and so does our perception of things
Like, if that one Dexter episode came out today you all would assume that it's LGBT propaganda or some shit. Same with Sailor Moon, that i mentioned in similar threads before, i don't see anyone bitching that it was gay propaganda just because it had indeed gays in it. Or, if we want to consider the SJW perspective, stuff like Johnny Bravo instead would get articles and blogs about how it's a result of "toxic gamergate culture", and so on

I guess i digressed a bit

I do, and I realize that those people get mad at nothing and don't have any valid criticisms. When pressed its's just
>go back to tumblr lel
Because they're either shitposting, or they don't want to question what thier definition of tmblr is.

As is, it's just another catch-all term for "something you do not like" like reddit-tier or whatever flavor of the month bad website said person should go back to.

You don't see how it is wrong to be running around, flirting up a ton of people and then just ignore them because you were never even interested in them in the first place?
This was innocent enough but those are girls I guess 11-13 or something and you can't treat them like that 20something you talk up in a club where people are out for a fling.
Imagine you get talked up by some chick in a library and you exchange contact data and you think this could be a thing because you don't talk up someone in the library if you don't care, then you find her talking up every single guy in the library before mooning over a picture of a celebrity.
You would be rightfully pissed and if you are not the only guy to notice that, you will probably group up and confront her. Because she just tricked you all for the purpose of getting better at tricking you.

>>77639565
>So using a word as shorthand for a handful of traits is a bad thing now?

>Is it because Steven and Amethyst are fat? It has lesbians?
Being fat doesn't make it a tumblr thing, I think. Other cartoons have fat characters and they don't get labeled as tumblr.

I think it's because of the different body types in the show, especially in the females. The show also introduces different races (the indian girl, the pizza family) which makes people think it's being progressive, and equate that with tumblr.

I personally think a show can be progressive and not be equated to tumblr. Because with all its female body variations and different races, there are still important males in the story, and if it's really a tumblr show I'd say the MC would not be a boy.

I think people are mostly grasping at reasons to justify their dislike over the show. I'd rather they dislike the fluctuating animation quality.

tl;dr: It's the different body types, different races, slightly gay thing. If it's actually a tumblr-influenced show, the MC wouldn't be a boy.

We never got to see what Dipper did after, all we got to see was him being excited and then getting forced into a bad situation. These were women he didn't know if he'd ever see again, and rightfully wouldn't have if not for a shitty deus ex.
>Imagine you get talked up by some chick in a library and you exchange contact data and you think this could be a thing because you don't talk up someone in the library if you don't care, then you find her talking up every single guy in the library before mooning over a picture of a celebrity.
This isn't even close to what happened. Folks get numbers all the time, doesn't mean it's serious, at least not until it gets serious. And they didn't see Dipper do shit, these were all women at different locations.
>>
>>77639676
People also overlook that they never endorse fat characters as in any way better for it.
Grag and Steven are just not athletic and Amethyst is shown to be fat due to emotional issues she compensates with over-eating. Or she would be if she was a human. As is, she does it properly to show off how much of a slob she is.
Generally, SU seems to ascribe body shape to the nature of families for the human characters.
Sadie's mom has a similar figure to her daughter, for example.
Or the Maheswaran's all being rather trim and sporting.
Onion looks simlar to his father, too.

I think, if anything, SU is overall trying to show people as non-idealized human beings with very human flaws that are part of who they are. Which includes that people have non-ideal body shapes. Nobody gets applaus for just existing, though.
And nobody is getting condemned for identity-political reasons.
On the contrary, everyone makes mistakes and makes questionable decisions which tend to have consequences.

Pitchfork is riding SU's popularity in teen websites, yes. Plus, slap the word progressive and your article is good to go.

I actually don't mind the progressiveness of the show (in terms of body types and race). Websites doing articles on such things just like to slap that around so they can get brownie points for writing about it.
>>
>>77639755
>The way I see it is that the SU fanbase just got too convoluted that they became oblivious to other shows exsisting
Yeah, that's the sad thing about it. Other cartoons are violent, progressive, "get away with shit", well-written, have great production, etc, but because a lot of the people who are interested in animation as a passion choose to ignore things outside of the "Popular Tumblr Circle" (Homestuck, Gravity Falls, Kill La Kill, Steven, Rick & Morty, Korra etc), they never see it, so they just assume something like Steven is the most revolutionary thing on television.

Clone Wars has way more brutal and graphic death moments for a kids cartoon, but nobody gives a shit. Pig Goat Banana Cricket has some FANTASTIC animation moments from time to time, again, no one gives a shit because it wasn't made by Pen Ward or Rebecca Sugar or any Adventure Time ex-board artist.

It's like how Dan VS. was pretty refreshing for a kids cartoon, but everyone paid attention to ponies and exclaimed, "CARTOONS ARE FINALLY GOOD AGAIN, HOORAY!".
>>
>>77639901
I think it's more because of the implied lesbian space rocks. People still don't understand gay things exist, so then the show gets more scrutiny.

Starwars clone wars was great but I got sick of Ahsoka orangetits. Really liked the clone trooper episodes though.
>>
>>77639863
The only difference is more space inbetween the encounters.
And at that age, you very quickly imagine things to get rather serious.
I'm not saying they were very rational about that, but Dipper just looked bad when all those girls suddenly turned up and it's been like two or three days between all those encounters.
I can't understand how you do not find it wrong to get up the hopes of all those girls as an exercise.

>>77639881
>People also overlook that they never endorse fat characters as in any way better for it.
This. SU actually shows that people can also get different body types, and that's it. The show never endorses how cool one body type is.

Also, why do people attack SU for the body types of its characters, when other shows have fat and thin characters too? People just need to justify their hate towards the show.

Again, it's fine to dislike the show. It's when pulling bullshit arguments like "the show is promoting fat acceptance" that irk me. Why does nobody complain the shit Lars pulled when he was stuck in that island with Sadie and Steven?

There's a myriad of ways they could've conveyed that message and they did so in the most ham fisted of ways .

Lars suddenly talked about being lonely and kissed Sadie.

There's nothing wrong with characters kissing, but the whole setup felt really inappropriate for a kid's show.

As an adult it was a fucking good scene because it's so true with a lot of adults. We go through crowds and hang out with people, but inside we're lonely and yearn for a certain kind of companionship and intimacy, and that's when Lars kissed Sadie (like, tackle kiss and they fell to the ground, I think). But I was watching it with little kids and that scene was awkward as fuck and I didn't know how to explain that.

L&S was a huge merch train though. Theatrical film, tv series, around four DTV sequels, plus its own anime.

I do get what you mean, but at least L&S got the recognition it deserved. SU gets overly recognized for its achievements that aren't exclusive to the show. Even Clarence and Paranorman managed to have characters, even if it was a side joke, be openly gay and not dance around the term and say, "O-oh, but they're not HUMAN lesbians, they're ALIEN lesbians! Don't censor us, please!".

To me, something like Clarence is way better at slice-of-life, relatable characters, and having gray morals in their stories than Steven, but Steven still gets the praise for it. And a big part of it, I know, is that Sugar's name is attached to it, Lord be praised "First solo woman creator", and people hyping her up and like you said, marketing, but it's still annoying to see it. I think that's why a lot of people, myself include, scoff when people praise SU as being the best thing ever made. We're not really scoffing at the show but, the praise. And yeah

>>77640022
You must have misunderstood that in the nuance of it.
Most shows would do that in, maybe two episodes where it hardly comes up because other things happen. And then they get over it or make amends in a sweeping gesture.
In SU that was an arc and the fuckup completely poisoned the relationships between the characters.
The resolution actually took several episodes between them being on talking terms again and forgiveness being earned step by step.

The praise is not about spats and forgiveness being a thing, but about their portrayal and execution.

I'm just surprised they're worked up on something so trivial, like body types, when other cartoons have fat characters too. And I was just saying that if people want to complain, I can understand them complaining about that Lars scene than fucking fat body types.

But even for normal writing standards, this level of continuity was at the most basic of level. It was five episodes back-to-back, it wasn't a shift over the course of a season which would've been way more impressive. And each episode was 11 minutes long, that's about an hour's worth of content. Less than a movie's worth of "continuity" happening. And they all aired in a single week as a marathon. And the only episodes that really mattered with the first and last. The second in the Garnet-Hates-Pearl Bomb was more about finally being able to see Ruby and Sapphire than about Pearl and Garnet. The other two just referenced the fight but never built on it.

Really, the relationship played out like:
>Pearl upsets Garnet
>Garnet gives Pearl silent treatment
>Garnet gives Pearl silent treatment
>Garnet gives Pearl silent treatment
>Garnet and Pearl make up

But people really think this was the fucking hottest shit because of muh lore. If the fucking fans of Steven would broaden their horizons of cinema and TV outside of Doctor Who, they'd see this is the simplest fucking writing shit someone could possibly do. Sitcoms like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had more character growth than this.

>Don't like it cause it looks like tumblr pandering garbage and anything that tries to pander to one group isn't for me unless it panders to the group I'm in like Free!

And that's why I'll never watch the show. Worst fanbase to pop up in recent history except maybe Undertale.

Despite Pitchfork being a literally fucking who for me, i agree. SU has some great music.

I hope you won't take this the wrong way, but I do hope you would try the show just to confirm what you think.

Free! explicitly panders to the female fanbase and people who like male skin in general, yes.

But what group do you think SU panders on? And why is a handful of people's actions reflect the rest and the show itself?
>>
>>77640459
Guess what faggot, things can influence other things. Unless you live under a rock, it's hard to live a life where you judge everything based on its solo merit of what it is.

If your mother came up to you and yelled FUCK YOU in your face every time you made a peanut butter sandwich, you would hate peanut butter sandwiches as an adult.

People who don't get that cancer fanbases can turn people off the products they're a fan of just show how socially stunted they are and how much time they spend on /co/ rather than talking to real people.
>>
>>77640459
I can't enjoy it because it's tumblr shit. Can you not read or something? Also as for Undertale it's because the devs are assholes and I refuse to support them.
>>
>>77640510
Not that anon and I don't have a tumblr or even visit the site, but can you expound on the tumblr shit? Just curious.
>>
>>77640361
I chose one of those links at random and I got to say, it was just a generic and uninspired melody on a piano that sounded like something out of a slice of life anime, with a hint of that woefully overdone Yann Tiersen melancholy that is so popular with hipsters these days. I hope for your sake the show is better than its music.
>>
>>77640506
In that case one should blame the mother, not the sandwich. After all, it did nothing wrong to deserve that hate.
>>
>>77637599
The saddest part is I agree, but I don't think the songs are super good or anything. The songs on SU are certainly better than the trash music from Adventure Time, but they're nothing to write home about either.

I personally want SU to go in a more action-based direction because right now it's CNs only chance for a action show.

>>77640460
>I hope you won't take this the wrong way, but I do hope you would try the show just to confirm what you think.

I did watch a few episodes while I was held up in a hotel for a month after a house fire last year and I thought it was mediocre at best. Nothing to write home about or obsess over so much you want others dead for drawing your favorite characters the wrong way.

>But what group do you think SU panders on?

tumblr

>And why is a handful of people's actions reflect the rest and the show itself?

Because this is the internet and that's how the internet works. One person in a group does something and they all get blamed for it. I blame school teachers for this mentality since they're the ones who taught people my age that kind of reasoning and logic is okay. I just do it because everyone else does and it's fun to make fans of something I don't like upset.

Action shows are dead anon. CN has neither the budget nor patience for them, and it doesnt look like the other networks are interested anyway. Give it like, 5-8 years

Yeah it's a boy... a fat boy with pink color coded powers, who likes to turn into a girl and crossdresses unironically. 100% sure he'll go full hermaphrodite once he learns how to shapeshift.

I think it was mentioned above, but the suicide thing was more about tumblr's problem than SU. This isn't the first time tumblr has harassed and bullied someone for the sake of social justice.

Yeah the show can be mediocre. It really isn't like the second coming of jesus christ or some shit like that. But I just asked you a couple of questions because of how narrow-minded you sound like. And you're even aware of it.
>>
>>77640734
He has a boner for the curry girl, so I doubt.

Some SJW tumblr blogger actually ranted on twitter, if I remember correctly, about how the MC is a boy.

And to be fair with pink, it was a boy's color before. I'll give the crossdressing though, that whole episode was just fucking odd.

Yeah, that seems about right. If there's one thing Pitchfork loves, it's damning individual works with faint praise in order to make a broader point.

Nah, she's cute. Just compare her to the landwhales hoarding most of the X chromosomes.

She has her own television show on Cartoon Network at the age of, what, 26? She has talent.

Or she's damn lucky. Don't forget how much luck is played into this industry. There are hundreds of animation pilots that deserve to be picked up but never are. Almost all the new shows on CN right now are from board artists who used to work on Adventure Time. Sugar was one of the most popular board artists on AT, so it stands to reason, from an executive decision, to hear a pitch from her and to try and create "another Adventure Time".

Why do you think Natashi got to make Bee and Puppycat despite having so little experience, talent, and a voice of her own? Knowing Pen Ward takes you a long fucking way.

I disagree, saying that Rebecca Sugar's music is the best undermines so many better lyricist and composers who create amazing pieces but aren't really credited heavily for their art. I must ask what honestly makes Steven Universe's music better than the vast majority of music heard on television?

I say television because the writer credits the show as having "the best music on tv." What about the scores on television shows like The Flash or The Walking Dead? Both shows have a very large following comparable to Adventure and Steven Universe and yet no one is writing home how they have the best music.

I can't really tell the writer's intent in the article, he doesn't necessarily come off as biased just a bit ignorant. As for myself, I enjoy Steven Universe's soundtrack and it's okay. It's not bad but isn't that good. I applaud the various different styles used in the show, but it's not as brilliant as people would have you to believe.

Man I can't wait until current SU boarders get their own shows.
