>>
>>84472004
Maybe just give Steven a bit more agency. The show isn't that girl focused.

I guess if we're SJW sociopaths and we can't relate to people who aren't our gender then add a strong male role model. That's about it.

Greg doesn't even take care of his own son, leaving his raising to a trio of his mom's friends.
If Greg was a good male role model he would be busting his ass to make sure that Steven was fed, clothed, housed and involved in his live aside from an occasional visit. He's not a divorced dad with shared custody, he's Steven's sole surviving parent.

Allow Steven to 'power up' in crisis situations. Let him punch out a monster once in a while.

Let him be less of a spaz. He's fucking 14, not 9.

Basically make him less friendly and more badass.

I would not watch that show, but it would cater more to boys, I think.

...Do we actually know how the show rates among boys versus girls? Or is it implicitly wrong to make such a distinction?

being a dad is a lot more than being a cool buddy. SJWs would have us believe that fathers have no role in society and that men should just be friends with their kids.

"The dude abides".

Steven would actually use his shield as a weapon for whacking the shit out of stuff instead of being a noob and using it for defense.

Also whips are cool and all but the awesome combat they do compared to spears and fist is low. I mean all a whip does is tear off your skin how can you show kids that without getting to gore?

The show's already good for boys that realize their peepees get hard when they look at pretty ladies.

Steven needs to be a bit more useful. I dont mind the love and friendship theme but he needs to take a more active role in combat.

Probably add a male gem other than steven but other than that I think the show is good.
>>
>>84472617
>"The dude abides".
Yes.

Making Amethist like this would also help >>84472203
>>
>>84472632
Steven's getting there, it's just taking time.

Amethyst should definitely keep the whip, as gem weapons are extensions of their personalities.

Amethist uses it to cut monsters and metal.

Its magic, so sometimes cut like a sword.

Sometimes she even put energy powers into it.

>>84472632

...Amethyst once casually sliced a mostly-carbonadium drill in half with her whip.

It's easy to forget that out of the three, she is the natural-born warrior. Pearl works really hard at being badass, but Amy doesn't have to. She bums around and slacks off all the time and still manages to match Pearl as a warrior.

...We haven't seen Opal fight yet, not really, but shouldn't she logically be stronger than Garnet? Provided she had a clear purpose.
>>
>>84472743
Whips are lame anon you cant make fights with whips since you cant parry using a whip and if your opponent can dodge the tip then the weapon is useless, not to mention anyone with super strength can can just grab anything that isnt the tip and throw our ass into the air.

Im sorry anon but whips suck.
>>
Bring back the gem monsters. I feel like the show has mostly dropped its action aspect altogether since they stopped using those things. I mean, we still occasionally get things like the Malachite fight, but they're few and far between. The show really just needs a villain on Earth or something to stir up some conflict. Give the Crystal Gems something to do besides hanging out.

Amethyst is so ridiculously strong, the lash itself becomes a lethal cutting edge. And yes, it can be used against her, as Peridot demonstrated.

Even so, the whip serves more purposes - she also uses it as a grapple or lariat.
>>
>>84472743
>We haven't seen Opal fight yet, not really, but shouldn't she logically be stronger than Garnet? Provided she had a clear purpose.

Rubies look like weaklings that need numbers and Saphire is a midget that wasn't made to fight.

Its obvious that Opal is way stronger than Garnet, you have Pearl training and discipline, with Amethist raw power, they are individualy stronger than Saphire and Roby.

Flashback is cool, as B plot no.
>>
>>84472563

Stevonnie has whatever "they're" in the mood for.
>>
>>84472864
The Peridot thing is another thing, see Amy catchs Pery with his whip but if Pearl or Garnet used their weapons they would have killed Peridot instead of just subdueing I told you already whips suck ass. Also Pearl can shoot energy blast from her spear making the range advantage of Amy's whip a moot point.

Why the fuck would you need a grapple if you can shapeshift your arm to become longer?

Amethysts are stronger than Rubies and Pearl is a skilled fighter, but Ruby isn't defective and Sapphire's precog is arguably just as good or better than Pearl's skill.

A normal Amethyst would likely be superior to Garnet no matter who she fused with, or not need a fusion at all, but I dunno about gimpy CG Amethyst.

I don't get why she is smaller rather than bigger, though. I mean she has nominally been soaking up life force or whatever for 500 more years.

You have a universe with gems for fuck sake.
This you could be easily a GOAT action one.
>>
>>84472004
You would put more focus on "wouldn't it be cool if you were Steven" vs. "wouldn't it be cool if you knew Steven".

SU doesn't assume you're an young boy who hasn't been validated at all yet, and let you imagine getting validated like crazy by saving the world and getting a girlfriend without even trying. It's aware that that's a thing, but it doesn't really feel it; Steven doesn't seem like he needs much validation. Even one of the times he has an ego issue (the fake test the gems give him), it turns around into him reassuring them. He's sort of convenient, relationship-wise.

In AT, random princesses keep mentioning that Finn's attractive. It doesn't go anywhere, it just validates him, and a male audience by proxy. Whatever the equivalent would be in SU, the show wouldn't think to do it.

I'm not sure how to get more specific than that.
>>
>>84476279
Actually, one specific thing; Stevonnie. In a more boyish SU, Connie would give Steven the strength to do something he found intimidating instead of the other way around.

1.) HAVE A STORY, PROGRESS THROUGH THE STORY DONT FUCK OFF DOING STUPID SHIT (constantly)
2.) the fuck is this gay ass "gems have been here forever AND NO HUMANS EVER NOTICED" rewritten entirely with an arc atleast with a gem or another learning about human culture before settling on the island. (pearl fighting with an ancient knight, garnet and the romans, etc.)
3.)not every thing is solved with love. people die, things get fucked up, dark powers are at work. steven actually has to learn and grow as a man, humanities governments are always trying to get more info on the mythic magical gems that have lived for centuries (perhaps even damning themselves in return for some neat gear)
4.) stevens dad needs to be a DAD. some screen time and words of wisdom (in a standard rocker way) could shape some later things into gem monsters vs. Rockin' Magic

Kids generally want role models who are pretty/handsome and have something fantastical about them. Not a lot of kids can admire the trait of "Is a really attentive Dad".

The only reason Elsa was popular with girls was because she had ice powers and a pretty dress, kids didn't actually care about her emotional journey.
>>
>>84472004
Give connie the sword and drop her and steven off in the gem worlds without support.
Let Steven fight corrupted gems and find old WMDs that could beat gem world.
The CG are planning an assault while also planning a way to rescue Steven and Connie.
Lapis, Peri, and Jasper are Space Rebels that are enemies to home world and CG
Make the fights constant and show actual fights not some lethal dance moves or make it too anime.

>>84472353
>caring about what SJWs think

Sugar has said that Greg is her favourite character. It's been confirmed that Greg had to raise Steven since he was a baby, and Steven only moved in with the gems once he was too big to stay in a van/was old enough to start learning magic stuff.

He may not have become a textbook success, but he still hasn't given up on making music in his free time. He likely paid for the materials to at least build Steven's house, putting him before himself.

>>84476944
First of all Anna > Elsa but anyway

You make a good point but that's the whole idea with Greg. That despite the failures and incredible loss he's had to deal with, he still hasn't lost his hope or enthusiasm for the world. No, it's not obvious and kids will probably miss it, but when they grow up and look back they might understand. I mean, just look at how Greg has dealt with the loss of Rose compared to Pearl.

Don't tell me your argument for homogeneous casts and copy-pasted protagonists is that people who can't entirely relate to a white guy are "sociopaths".

The typical male protagonist is relatable to everyone is some way yeah I'm not saying otherwise but the exclusion of certain experiences is going to necessarily mean he's not going to be relatable in a ton of other ways. What makes those other ways less legitimate?
>>
>>84479010
Exactly this.
I like how Steven's greatest asset is his empathy, and I want him to keep trying to redeem enemies, but ultimately the purpose of expanding the team is to defend Earth from all the Gems who cannot change. I want to see his mom collection in action.

Make the show actually good. It has good elements and I'm glad it does exist just to show that cartoons can be relaxed, down to earth and do some different stuff, but ultimately it falls short in every department. >the 11 minute episodes keep any emotional drama from having a strong effect
>ending every episode on a gag makes a lot of the "lessons" stick less
>the excessive focus on emotional character arc "filler" episodes and backseat plot advancement makes individual episodes fall flat
>after the large amount of episodes we have very little has actually happened or been accomplished or revealed. inb4 lorefag but the show's "lore" is too thin and spread out, and usually much more interesting than:
>overfocus on the town's inhabitants that are almost wholly unremarkable or outright unlikable with very few exceptions
>color use is spectacular but exclusive mostly to backgrounds
>animation is passable but the execution of action makes everything feel weightless and without impact, fails on four basic levels of fight choreography
>arcs take too little and too much time to unfold properly, episode release pacing is wonked. the "Bomb" method is worthless when half the new content is once again the "filler" episodes
>voiceacting is good, but some voices are more grating than others (Steven, Peridot)
Basically it does a lot of good things but nothing particularly well enough and the sum of its parts is ultimately not that good. Nothing really happens. There's no investment or payoff.

All the children I know who watch this are boys, I don't know a single little girl who's interested in this.

Make Pearl actually use his spear like a smart person instead of throwing it like a retard all the time. Also her spear should be longer.

this. There's nothing to fix in SU, except maybe have no more shitty episodes like Sandy's show or Jamie's play. Contrary to popular belief, sentient space rocks that look like pretty women with magical powers fighting each other and fleshing out their characters is pretty interesting

Pearl's spear reminds me of those little 3 foot ghetto spears they used in Zulu

>>84480489
Yeah but that wasn't anything aggressive, more desperate. There's something special about seeing a parent get pissed and go all out in defense of their child, it's very primal and satisfying. Like when Timmy's parents rebelled against Emperor Crocker and beat the shit out of him

>I am a dude and I can relate to female characters just fine in comics/movies/vidya.
I didn't say you can't.

But there's a lot of stuff there you won't relate to as well. Your involvement isn't 100%.

>Why is it so hard for women to do the same with male characters? Do their imaginations just suck?
They can relate to them in some ways, just not in every way.

>>84480597
>Even then you can have a diverse and unique cast that only includes white males.
And that's great, but you can't deny there are experiences that non-white males have that won't be reflected in those white males. It's inane to fault people for wanting to see characters affected by those experiences when "white male" has been so ubiquitous for several decades.

So just how the original pilot was shaping up to be?

Well for one its too short for a fucking spear it needs to be longer like pic related.

>>84472004
the only scene that would really potentially drive away boys is the end of sadie's song, and even then that's so far into the series that a majority of boys who stuck around since the beginning would stay

I can deny that. People don't have different brain makeups related to race, so everyone is capable of the same experiences.

It is not inane to fault those people. They're just as capable of sharing their experiences as everyone else. Pushing for different colored characters when it's not the artists vision tends to lead to personality-less shitpiles.

I like the idea of her being able to change her spear's length like goku's staff, though not as extreme

Yeah, it's honestly used more like a fencing foil than a spear. It also fits with the court servant archetype she presents, whereas a spear would be a front line soldier's weapon.

Unless she's just retarded and does not know what she's doing. That's my vote.
>>
>>84472004
Make it more like DBZ

Fuck, Steven's already Gohan. Just add more explosions and screaming.
>>
>>84481372
Did pearl ever say her weapon was a spear?
I mean, it certainly looks like one, but has she said it?
Because if she doesn't use it as a spear and she never said it was a spear, then why would we call it one?

Because weapons have a myriad of minute differences that separate them from other ones. If it looks like a spear, it is a spear, no matter how retardedly someone is using it.

It already does, you mega dweeb.

More explosions and lasers

Okay I hate this idea and all harem SU fan art, but that Garnet's overall aesthetic. I love everything about the head. The hair would be cooler frizzy, though, and the tiddies are freakishly large. Other than that, though.

Man most of the suggestions in this thread are fucking retarded

>make it cater to boys
That's the kind of stuff that makes feminists go crazy and start ruining video games.
And it already does cater to boys. These threads are proof of that.

I've always kinda figured what Rebecca brings most to the show that's unique to her is restraint on the action. It's her "female thing". I could see other people doing the same plot, but cut the character drama and replace it with a monster of the week where figuring out how to kill it takes priority to the character moments we get now. Not to say another guy couldn't do character development at all, but it would take a back seat. I also imagine Steven's role would change from general kid like support figure to "learning to be a hero" wannabe action star.
>>
>>84480540
You know male protagonists/majority male ensemble casts are the most common and also the most watched in virtually every medium, right? Women have no problem relating to men, it's just nice to get a majority female cast in something that isn't a shitty romcom or whatever.

GOAT is a gender equal or nearly gender equal cast, though, but I think SU is better off with the feminine skew.
>>
>>84472203
>Connie play a supporter role, like playing a magical flute or something

what the fug
Just make Steven use his shield like Captain America or some shit.

Human team of Gem hunters that act behind the scenes, they keep the gem monster population hidden from the general public similar to the men in black. Using weapons that have gems embedded in them, they act like a special ops force that act as one big homage to Super Sentai/Power Rangers/Kamen rider and/or the Mecha genre.
>>
>>84472004
Literally the only thing it needs in order to cater to boys is decent action figures.

Make all the gems. Halfway decent articulation and they come with weapons. If you're feeling ambitious pair each gem with a townie with more limited articulation.
>>
>>84480540
I don't understand why people need to relate to characters to enjoy fiction at all.

Apparently you don't remember what happened when Pearl tried to struggle against the two whips.

No lie, as much as I'm a Pearlfag, it was pretty awesome seeing the energy whiplash thing.

How would Pearl having tits not help?

>>84481513
I think when the watermelon Stevens where grabbing her weapon I remember her saying "Give me back my spear you twerp!" Or something along those lines
>>
>>84472004
Introduce male gems who are stronger, faster, smarter, and all around better than the Crystal Gems. Also, give them guns and have them save the day with violence.

And stop having Steve be a big pussy.
>>
>>84472004

it caters to neither

it caters to weebs

>>84485118

Not every female-coded person needs tits. Not all women needs tits to be attractive. Pearl looks like shit with them, anyway.

>>84485480
This, but make them metal based instead

>>84485512
metal men is literally the worst idea the SU fanbase ever came up with

who looks at a show and says you know this could really stand to gain from adding a rip off of D list DC characters

Cannot fix something that is already beyond repair.
