How do you feel about the progression of this show these last two years?
I enjoyed the first season, but have found the second to be increasingly disappointing.
However, I understand that the majority of the fanbase here sees things differently.
>>82187578
What progression?
>>82187642
Plot, characters, motives, etc.
Hold on, that's a tough question, I need to think on it.
I'll get back to you in August of 2018.
They introduced Peridot as a CG at the right time. Character development was getting redundant by Sworn to the Sword and the team needed new blood to create a whole new combination of character interactions.
>>82187578
What progression? The only thing I remember is hiatus.
>>82187642
Oops I thought you asked "what's progression?" Has it really felt like a stand still at this time?
>>82187682
So none then
I wanted it to remain episodic instead of plot driven. Was hoping Jasper and Lapis would never be heard from again, Peridot might return in a one-off episode - the magic would remain a backdrop to the quotidian. The show went the opposite direction - every small detail became a plot point, the quotidian became a backdrop to the magic to the point that folks erroneously call those episodes "filler."
I still really like the show - it managed to go the opposite of the direction I hoped for while still keeping me interested. I do hope it reels the magic/alien/space stuff back in some though. Or we get more humans/Beach City/Greg at least.
>>82187578
There's no villains. If this show wants to improve, add some villains on Earth for the Gems to fight before they take on the Homeworld
>>82187760
I guess you're right/sug/does flood the stream most of the time.
>>82187818
Fucking this to me it feels like CG gets easily distracted
>>82187578
Good.
But slow. So slow. So hiatus.
You mean the last 12 or so episodes?
I enjoyed them, mostly
>>82187578
Rate 'em
>season 1A (gem glow to ocean gem)
>season 1B (house guest to jail break)
>season 2 (full disclosure to message received; includes the shorts)
>season 3 (log date 7 15 2 to ?)
Made a vocaroo earlier but may have posted it in the wrong thread since I can't find it.
It's exciting to have made it this far. I can't wait to be all caught up.

>>82187578
>>82187682
I like a lot of the characters, but in terms of motives and plot direction its clearly lacking. I guess you could blame the constant hiatuses', but still, it doesn't help when the only thing the fandom has to discuss is theories about stuff vaguely hinted at and waifus.
>>82187760
because SU is a cartoon and this is a comics and cartoon board
INB4 just make a board for the show like MLP, its no where near as gigantic as it, and it doesnt have much in the ways of other mediums like toys and other merchandise. the only thing they share is the tumorous growths that is their fanbases
>>82191502
>the only thing they share is the tumorous growths that is their fanbases
that's sorta the point of a containment board.
>>82191542
and those were banned. look how great that went.
honestly the current ineptitude of CN's higher ups are somewhat indirectly to blame for this as topics become stale without new material and devolve into shitposting. maybe just one general opened whenever there is new info to discuss and such, so there arent 50 su threads asking questions/topics that can all be answered/discussed in one single thread.
>tfw Connie will never shit on your face

>>82187578
I'm apathetic towards it.
I don't care the redemption of Peridot, or even Peridot's character.
I was hyped for Yellow Diamond...until I actually saw her.
I just
I just want this shit to be over already
>>82191830
>I don't care the redemption of Peridot, or even Peridot's character.
but what about her body?
>I was hyped for Yellow Diamond...until I actually saw her.
same. but when life gives you lemons
>I just want this shit to be over already
it'll only be half over when steve bomb 19 hits in 2034
they need to hurry the fuck up and release the next episodes, we know they have them done, they just keep pushing it back more and more. whats the deal?
>>82192064
They actually just moved some of them up, though?
The first season have a shitton of episodes while the following season(s) don't/will not takes me back to when cartoons like Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, etc. did similar sorts of things (i.e. your first season would be like 60+ fucking episodes but the seasons after would be like ten to twenty-something episodes long).
>>82192465
they at one point had stated they were going to air in may, all info on this has been retracted.
>>82192575
May 12 is the confirmed return date, there has been no retraction.
This is for all you motherfucks to have a chuckle at.

>>82192839
zone is a gift to this world
>>82187818
I feel like the show achieved this dynamic feel to it, at least partly, when Peridot was still a villain trapped on earth. The problem with Steven Universe is that literally everyone eventually gets a shot at redemption, even the acid spraying bug from the first episode. It's a theme that is deeply ingrained within the entire plot that ultimately makes for a lack of suspenseful/meaningful conflict.
>>82192970
i give a pass to the centipeedle considering that we dont know if it's a homeworld gem or a rebel.
all corrupted gems have the potential to be a crystal gem if steven ever gets his healing spitkissback.
imagine homeworld goes full on army invasion after the cluster fails because the big lemon gets salty that its still alive, a good 50-100 homeworld gems come in start fucking with beach city, they approach the temple and boom: every gem that was bubbled in the crystal heart room comes out of the temple and clashes with the HW army on the beach a la 300 style. the HW army has to retreat. but now the diamonds know that earth is no longer a lingering nuisance but a growing threat. the threat of a full scale assault requires the CGs to bring the fight to home world lest the fight be brought to earth. steven now needing to cope with his new found position as rebel leader as they prepare to build ships to homeworld, storm the diamonds, and overthrow the diamond authority.
Did that drawanon ever post the pic of Jasper in a wedding dress?
>>82192970
>The problem with Steven Universe is that literally everyone eventually gets a shot at redemption
There's been Peridot, and that's it. You're crazy to even think Centipeedle counts.
>>82193204
Anon, that is literally the one defining character trait for steven/rose. Every single time that the crystal gems want to smash something to bits and ask questions later, Steven stops them and asks to give said thing a chance. Sure you could argue that he keeps the crystal gems grounded that way, but it leads to a lack of satisfying action scenes/conclusion to said action scenes.
Not to mention that the crystal gems have literally said things to that effect.
>Your mother saw the good in all things.
>>82193112
That scenario is essentially what I'm banking on. I'm in it for the long haul.
>>82187578
I remember being disappointed that Rebecca Sugar left Adventure Time to make what was basically Chowder with magical girls. Then, Ocean Gem happened. From that point on, I kept my eyes pealed, and by the end of the first season, the show finally reached the heights I'd dreamed it would.
>>82193280
>Every single time that the crystal gems want to smash something to bits and ask questions later, Steven stops them and asks to give said thing a chance.
When? He didn't do that for the Giant Eye in the Sky, he didn't do that for that changing gem monster he and Connie took out (that's happened 3 times btw),he didn't do it for the invisible gem Sadie took out, and he didn't do it for the bird(albeit he didn't have time to)
>>82191130
Brit anon is about to start the week of sardonyx. Should be interesting to hear this reaction haha.
>>82193355
not same guy BUTT
giant eye in the sky was not a gem, its was a machine. thats like showing sympathy for a webcam irl.
both the giant worm beast him and connie took out as well as the invisible gem had their gems put in the room, He was only able to work with centipeedle because it made an effort to come out in a non hostile form. Centipeedle made an effort to not be as corrupted as before.
And the bird was super hostile, there would be no reasoning with it, it was too far gone.
Steven as did his mother sought to help those who could be reasoned with. So the gems who can speak and think rationally to some degree, steven will try to reason with them, but if they are in beast form and too far gone the most they can do is keep their gems safe until they can find a way to help them. Its not like they are destroying their gems and throwing them in lava.
Alright I'm going to try summarise what had been said so far:
-slow plot development
-lack of remaining villains (because the ones we got so far are or get redeemed)
Personally I don't mind either so far.
If one big event after another big event continuesly happens, it wouldn't give you time to breath and process what is actually happening. I'd lose my hype because these actiony moments would become such a normal thing to see. Now I'm extremely eager to see all of it getting real soon. Waiting for when it will happen makes me thirsty in the good type of way, because I'm certain this show has some major things planned out (it drops so much hints about lore). The thirst would be less thrilling if a show doesn't seem to have any direction going. Like maybe it could get some action happening but it never implied it's part of the stories development. I think the biggest reason why everything feels mostly slow, is because of those forsaken hiatusses. They're pretty random and inconsequential, taking you out of the flow of this show.
As for villains, I think there will be more of them and those probably won't get redeemed. Starting of with the diamonds. I'm willing to bet those won't get redeemed and thanks to Peridot’s shenanigans they got their complete focus back on the earth. The leaked video of Barn Mates is a pretty good indicator of that fact. Once they realise sending drones won't be enough, they're probably going to send some minions to deal with it etc. (That's probably also when the action of the show is going to increase a lot). They need the original homeworld trio to be redeemed in one way or another to give the CG a better chance to fight back against a homeworld invasion and also to have a healthy and continously refreshing dynamic between the main characters.
Tl;Dr I'm a pretty patient person who's willing to wait for it
>>82191130
Aah great I was afraid I would miss one because I needed to go to bed (did you go on all night btw?) Ooh man the next bunch of episodes are one heck of a ride. Starting of with the week of Sardonyx which especially your favorite will get a difficult time (like she doesn't enough). And soon after that week a pretty big story arc will be set into motion, shaking up the status quo for sure in the most fantastic way (I'm still smiling about it)
>>82187578
Having recently watched a bunch of episodes with a friend, the progression feels really weird.
I didn't notice watching it as it came out, since the episodes are so far apart most of the time, but there's a huge shift from "occasional plot/heavy emotion" to "every episode needs plot/heavy emotion" The first few episodes really feel out of place, like the show was didn't know what it was about or what it wanted to be.
It's a mixed bag; on one hand, I don't want 10 more episodes of "Frybo" and "Together Breakfast", but on the other I feel like the show is doing exactly what made everyone lose interest in Adventure Time
Not sure really it's gonna take years to Finnish if they keep going on like this tho
>>82193714
Don't worry, even if you miss one there are a few anon's here like me keeping the links and posting them every once and a while.
>>82193743
Thanks man, I just love listening to him and I don't want to miss out on anything
>>82193737
>on the other I feel like the show is doing exactly what made everyone lose interest in Adventure Time
Season six is what killed AT, but Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and Rick and Morty getting popular at the same time didn't help either. Lot's of things happened that led to a not so popular AT. Fortunately the newer episodes are pretty good.
>>82193737
People lost interest in AT because it didn't commit to plot points. And whereas Finn's became a beta as time went on, the opposite's happening to Steven.
>>82187578
Had a casual interest in the show and watched it whenever I could, but the cancerous fandom ruined it for me. I'm apathetic to the show now.
>>82193789
>>82193823
Huh. Pic related, I guess.
Lemme rephrase: I feel like SU is trying really hard to push LORE and PLOT and #THEFEELS and it's going to stop being fun and comfy forever
>>82193828
come on dude
How do you let people dissuade you from liking something.
It kinda sucks to hear that. For me the only people I talk to about the show with are my friends so I guess it could be different for me.
>>82193852
I think it's trying to escalate the plot, given how bare bones they explained in the beginning and how little we still know now I don't have that much of a problem with it.
>>82193886
Like I said, I've got mixed feelings on it. I like the plot, but with the reveal that Super Watermelon Island is going to be Malachite focused instead of a fun adventure with the watermelon Stevens, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic for plotless feel-good fun times.
>>82193938
The leaked episode list seem to show some titles which go much into the direction of SoL episodes like Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service, The New Lars and Restaurant Wars etc. I personally have some preference to the episodes that are more plot heavy, but I enjoy SoL as well so I'm looking forward to those too
Wish they could have done more
>>82194259
Even the slice of life episodes feel weird. Sadie's Song could've been fun, but instead we needed another emotional breakdown. The last fun episode I can remember is Joy Ride, and that was over a year ago.
Who is best Pearl.
>>82187578
Pretty good.
The team behind Steven Universe is going to have get their shit together real soon.
A fatigue will definiely happen if they continue to take 6 month breaks between episodes. They should only be risking 2 month breaks from here on out.
Season 5 should be Steven Universes final season as well. Wrap up that show before it burns out.
That said, i fucking love it, but fatigue is a real thing that happens with prolonged breaks.
>>82194861
>being exhausted from longer breaks
...I don't think you know how rest works, anon.
>>82194861
To be fair, this is the longest hiatus the show's ever had, by far. I'm hoping this was just fuckery due to the full-swing promotion of the PPG reboot, and that things will be more normal from here on out. Sugar's comment on a new character appearing "in the fall" gives me hope.
>>82187578
It's gone pretty good, can't wait to see what it'll have I'm store for the future.
>>82194861
>A fatigue will definiely happen if they continue to take 6 month breaks between episodes.
The production line never stopped since they started, dude
They've been wrapping one episode per week up since they started, CN is currently sitting on about 25 finished episodes that they refuse to air
>Season 5 should be Steven Universes final season as well.
Season 5 is just the final part of season 3 prior to CN deciding that seasons are now 26 episodes instead of 52
It's already written down to the final episdoes and should start the midpoint production wrap-up in june
>>82194905
>Sugar's comment on a new character appearing "in the fall" gives me hope
Please be Jasper joining CGs, please be Jasper joining CGs, please please....
>>82194967
She seemed to be suggesting a completely new character, but that's still something like 15 episodes in Summer of Steven for that to happen.
>>82187578
It's okay, but the story feels slow. They took forever to get to yellow diamond, they're taking forever to deal with the cluster, they're taking forever to deal with Malachite. On the other hand, this is probably mostly because of the ungodly hiatuses they're taking CONSTANTLY. It's hard to remain interested in a story when you have to wait six months between episodes. It feels like they just put off the show longer and longer, it might as well be cancelled. Not to mention that, after this hiatus, they're probably just gonna go back to doing fucking nothing. They don't even do full 22 minute episodes, and it's not like the art is all that involved or complex. It's several months of waiting for far too little of a payoff.
>>82187774

Aw, thanks. This is tremendous because I watched the episode before I saw these comments and I just had to make one now before I nipped off to work. Going to try and stick to the schedule I set for myself.
If so, I should be able to knock this out within the next 2 days. I know it got announced for it to come back May 12.

>>82195462
homeworld was a huge letdown for me, and peridot's character was ruined. i'm still invested but the newer stuff has been kind of meh.

This is exactly how I feel.

>Homeworld was a huge letdown

>Newer stuff has been kind of meh
wow...just wow
>>82196327
This pretty much sums up my thoughts but the opposite
>>82195220
What's wrong with it?
The CG needed new blood so introducing Peridot was a good idea, but Perifags were a bigger mistake then Pearlfags.

>Progression
What, you mean new songs and crying scenes?
>>82196844
This. Adventure Time is a much better show than this.
>>82196652
I was the anon with the very first response.
It's not easy to put into words; it's more something that I just feel. Quite simply, when I watch a newer episode of Steven Universe, I don't enjoy it as much as when I rewatch some of the older episodes from season 1. This mainly has to do with the level of the quality of the writing, but also the quality of the storyboarding.
>>82196854
The storyboarding quality, and I'll even say the writing quality, has significantly improved since the first season. Just compare Laser Light Cannon to any recent episode.
>>82196853
This just further proves it >>82196799
Nu males and feminazis are the worst thing to happen to the world
>>82196851
That joke is so old, SU has made fun of it.
>>82196898
And yet here they are making cartoons for children.
I hope Sugar and her crew die.
>>82196854
The older episodes were awful
>>82196922
That's a slightly sad pipedream anon
>>82196844
Why do you post here then?
>>82196938
there is no limit to a capefag's ire
>>82196925
How? The older episodes didn't have an agenda to push.
>>82196905
He's not wrong, though.
>>82196950
oh it's the agendafag
but hey if you like boring monster of the week episodes, eat up that shit my friend
>>82196932
How so?
>>82196854
As an addendum, I will say that my views are pretty well expressed by this guy >>82187774
Also, as >>82196925 suggests, it seems to me as if the composition of the SU fanbase (at least on /co/) has changed greatly over the past year, and that most of the people who are on the ride now, so to speak, were late-comers. Which is not to knock them, but it would explain the difference in taste
>>82196958
The last episodes didn't even have that much crying and singing.
>>82196986
So basically, you wanted SU to be an "average" cartoon, so to speak.
>>82196986
Whoah nigga, I was here from the start, don't be referring to me as a latecomer
Different people have different opinions, don't lump all in one side or another, that's just sophistry
>>82196980
>Threads talking about a cartoon I don't like on cartoon board need to stop.
>>82196854
Thats so fucking stupid, you just want them to do nothing with the ch araters they introduce? What is ths adventure tme?
>>82196985
well unless you're some crazed killer, I don't expect there to be a mass shooting of everyone there anytime soon so
that's technically a pipedream
>>82196980
Oh anon you poor child
Do you know what is coming?
>>82187578
it's gotten better with narrative and plot. As much as people stroke over what the creators believe and things they put in the show they are surprisingly not lecturing a message or agenda.
>>82187578
Requesting greedy Pearl in need of shekels
>>82197057
You never know. SU has a lot of haters.
>>82187774

I can safely say this would piss off a lot of people
>>82197070
Oh really? No agenda pushing?

The show progresses about 5 episodes in a span of 7 months.
>>82197248
pretty much this
remember that's what made /co/ a good board was we didn't feed the stupid, let him say his retarded bait report, hide, and keep the talks flowing
>>82197273
blame cn
>>82197262
And look where they're at now.
>>82197262

it's the same contrarian who edges up every thread in a predictable fashion
>>82197273
>>82197289
Blame Sugar.
>>82197286
Guess you didn't actually go on /co/ when it was "good" (better is the only term that actually applies), this has always been one of the easiest boards to troll (wasn't bait back then son)
>>82197289
Honestly, I don't care too much for the show, but it's scheduling is both hilarious and eye-rolling to me.
>>82197263
needing attention to get their mind off other things
wanting a fight something online that bad
liking the idea that you can upset people in a way that's usually you
underage that's board and needing something to kill time on
take your pick.
at least /co/ isn't like other boards where bait like this would get feed the whole time.
>>82197331

We would, but then her fanboys would come to her aid.
Damn this nigga be throwing all their bait into the ocean
>>82197367gayagenda
>>82197377
I honestly do hate her fans. Why are they such white knights?
>>82197331
I miss cartoon cartoon Fridays or Saturday morning cartoons always being new episodes
This shit they do is so random
>>82197397
well no that's not exactly the dark times anon
like if you remember the George Clooney threads, you know ban evading tripfags are the worst
>>82197263
Not that hard to think up honestly
At best it's a young kid that has nothing better to do than act stupid in a room because it grants attention and as such a passing of time.
Worse case this is a person that has such damage to themselves that shitting in a thread is enjoyable, meaning that they don't really have much of a positive life going on atm.
>>82197377
What?
>>82196925
What? The first few episodes sucked but after that they were consistently great (except most episodes where Lars was central). I enjoyed season 1 more too; the show is getting too far up its ass with melodrama. SU has always had dramatic and emotional moments/episodes but I'm not a fan of the direction it has taken. I guess I prefer it to be more episodic and lighthearted.
>>82196843
I don't feel those two shows are a fair comparison. I started watching Gravity Falls and i'm likimg it very much so far but i can put it on the same page of Steven Universe. I love both for different reasons so i can't tell if one is "better" than the other. It's like saying burgers are better than videogames. It's unrelated.
>>82197400
Don't go to a Con
They are littered with these spergs
oh boy the bait-anon is replying to themselves
again
>>82197400
Easy. They're made up of white cuckolds, feminists, and half-breeds who want more attention.
>>82197431
I wish Sugar would come out as a lesbian. Let's see how many supporters she'll have then.
>>82197353
>>82197312
That's just hilarious. Somebody HAS to want to kill it.
>>82197403
They switch "NEW EPISODE" days every month seems like, I'm sure they've hit every day of the week now.
Don't fall for the bait /co/
So how do you think SU's going to end?
My money's on -big endgame evil threat- coming to earth, Steven fusing with the population of Beach City and the years' worth of collected corrupted gems and a massive TTGL homage. I'm expecting a Rose-Steven internal dialogue scene and giant mecha Steven forgiving whatever the endgame threat is in its final moments.
They've already shown that they're not afraid to make shit an anime.
>>82197437
That explains why Matt Burnett and Ian JQ work for her.

A lot of that is thanks to how much self awareness we have now and how much the social structure has changed culturally.
Gone are the days where most of the US was off on the weekends.
Do you think the shitposters are simply desperate for attention, or are they buttmad about the fact people still make the occasional SU thread on /co/?
Because this is just incredible.
>>82197473
It will end with Peedee and Steven holding hands and disappearing into the light, forever cementing SU as the progressive show.
>>82197464
you'd have to be pretty dense to not perceive when someone is sock-puppeting
>>82197495
I wish I had that one image with Peridot looking disgusted at the dude's obvious posts to himself
>>82197476
Pretty much.
>>82197425
Am O the only one who doesn't find season that melodramatic?
>>82197473
A while back I claimed there were two possible endings for SU: Evangelion, and Toppa Gurren Lagann.
I still stand by that.
>>82197464
>>82197495
You do know referring to "them" secondhand still acknowledges their efforts, right?
>>82197533
the only thing that comes to mind was the sardonyx bomb but other than that everyone's come a long way
and thank fuck steven doesn't scream his lines anymore like in season 1
>What we really are...
>What we really are...
>What we really are.
>>82197473
That is if the show don't get axed first and we get stuck with a cliffhanger season finale.
>>82197554
you have to realize
It doesn't give them (You)'s and it helps others see the light
By taking the bullet you save the entire thread
>>82197425
You say this but the last bomb was pretty light hearted, and log date is hardly a dramatic episode
>>82197554
Yeah, but ignoring the dude in the gorilla suit pleasuring themself next to the stage doesn't seem terrible likely.
Better to point and laugh than argue with them seriously.
>>82197473
If it gets a series farewell:
Good end: see a liberation of the Gem's home world, everyone goes back to the planet, somehow Steven is split from his gem, live from that and he can see meet his Mom and they all have a good bye as she leaves to rebuild the homeworld.
Bad end: Gems are brought to near extinction with only the ones on earth left alive, they make peace with it and start a new life on earth no longer as protectors because all major Gem threats have been removed. Greg/Steven gets some sort of farewell message from Rose for closer.
I miss the fantasy reality thing. I hope it gets comfy again. So far all this homeworld stuff feels like artificial problem.
Oh well
>>82197473
I wouldn't hold my breath for some grand scale finale battle
Sure the giant fusion fight was alright but at best it'll be like the gf fight
>>82197614
>gf fight
man don't remind me
>>82197585
apparently the creators stated they are against that. They might not get all the lose ends but they don't want to create a season that ends on a cliffhanger.
>>82197473
FLCL way, Steven unwraps a lion licker and eats it's. First episode of him hating lion lickers.
>>82187578
I feel like if they focus less on the filler plots the show would be great.
This Peridot arc has been really good.
But there are filler plots that are pure cancer.
>>82197675
I hope the Lapis arc is okay
>>82197558
He still does.
So I’ve been going through the entirety of Hilary’s promo art on Tumblr and noticed something. In most of these AU highschool gem drawings, a lot doesn’t seem to make sense (see Rose and Steven or Amethyst, Pearl and Opal all in the same room). However I feel like there still might be some hidden foreshadowing going on. For more than an year, both Peridot and Lapis are present in the promo art. But we’ve never seen Jasper before. Could this have something to do with her possibly not getting any redemption? I’m not going to bet anything on this, but I thought her absence is a pretty curious situation.
Also in pic related, the promo art of Historical Friction, we see Peri with normal hands and feet while this episode aired before Catch and Release
>>82197473
Yeah maybe something like that. I could see Steven act as some emulsifier, mixing humans and gems and form one giant planet size fusion
>>82197691
not as much in season 1 after comparing 2 episodes side by side
>>82197675
What filler parts? It's not a ducking anime.
>>82197706
Nope. Still does.
>>82197762
ok hellen
>>82197607
You seem a bit contrarian.
But don't worry, there's still some SoL episodes here and there.
>>82197675
>I feel like if they focus less on the filler plots the show would be great.
What do you mean by "filler plots"?
Generally each episode focuses on a character or a relationship. Other than Say Uncle, there haven't been any episodes that I would consider "filler".
>>82197729
Not that anon but
I guess shit like shirt club RT/CS and sadies song is what he means by filler
They aren't hot springs tier of filler but they don't exactly progress anything
>>82197799
They're SoL episodes. They don't progress plot but they do focus on character interactions and relationships. How is this so hard to understand?
> SoL lovers liked house guest more than ocean em
> they liked sadies song more than mssage received
> they liked secret team more than the return
I just want it to go full evangelion at the end and have Steven fusing with all the humans then fusing with all the Gems
Instrumentality
>>82197853
No one is saying that and you need to learn grammar.
>>82197853
What was wrong with Secret Team?
>>82197853
No one liked Sadie song. They admitted the ameture writers wrote it
>>82197919
They wasted a free pizza
>http://www.movienewsguide.com/darker-steven-universe-arrives-may-malachite-rises-ocean-peridot-traitor/199190
Kek it so fucking obvious these people don't watch the show
>>82196799
I dont even care. I just find it funny that if this show were genderswapped there would 100% be a token female character somewhere
When are we gonna see a Gem actually get crushed?
>>82198373
That would actually be a nice development, but that's not what SU is about, so never.
>>82198347
The token male gem is Steven.
>>82197604
If by "good end" you mean "bullshit asspull end"
Even JK Rowling wasn't so much of a hack as to bring back dumbledore (other than as a hallucination)
>>82198373
>>82198403
I think it could happen. It would be a one-off thing and would be right at the end.
They might do a WoY thing and have a villain (probably not YD or the Cluster tho) who's shtick is that they're irredeemable and in the end they're forced to destroy the gem.
It wouldn't be violent or gory or anything, it'd be a disney death.
>>82198442
Good point, i actually forget hes a gem, disgusting half breed that he is.
For a plot driven shown I just felt when watching it that nothing really cool happend. Them being aliens was also less intresting then them being magic rocks to me with huge extinct structures all over earth.
>>82198203
>as he sinks in the ocean while riding a mini-submarine
Fucking lol
>>82198203
The fuck am I reading. Poor writer...
Its definitely better than any other plot drien show at the moment and hasnt really shit the bed as hard as grvity falls so its ok in my book.
>>82198738
did Gravity shit the bed? I haven't watched an ep since giffany episode. I know it's over thought people were happy at the send off
>>82198792
The ending was kinda rushed.
>>82198840
>guitar cover of the theme song
Met my qualifications for hype
>>82187578
Progression has been great, it's the greatest show ever desu.
I hope it last forever, like the Simpsons
>>82198943
Don't you ever say that
>>82196799
I don't care about SJWs or whatever but this is just pathetic
>>82198969
I hope it lasts until you are a dying man
>>82199332
Jokes on you I'm already planning to off myself in a year or two.
>>82197830
>They don't progress plot but they do focus on character interactions and relationships
Just like a lot of Naruto's year of filler did
>>82199681
This is true. That was like the only time Tenten actually did anything
>>82199681

>>82196501
I don't even agree but it's not hard to understand.
Yellow Diamond's introduction was done in a far sillier tone than what had been set up until that point.
Peridot's "funny alien" shtick was her whole personality in the last episode.
Season 2 had its fair share of weak episodes, moreso than season 1B.
I feel like SU has been on the incline. That's my preference, of course, I can understand if people aren't feeling it, but damn, I am feelin it. With every episode I just come back happier every time. I think it's about it's exploration of larger plot elements, like the direction gravity falls went, and some might disagree, but plot like that is succulent as fuck.
>>82187578
It has a problem of introducing a bunch of different plots then drawing them out for way too long. Every time something interesting comes up it just feels like a tease with important information only hinted at now and again, and unfortunately it never really results in a satisfying conclusion. Stupidly long hiatuses between episodes and the air time for each episode only makes it more unbearable.
A horrible side effect of this arises within the fandom, who either blow meager hints out of proportion or end up making their own cringey stories, characters and headcanons based on delusional misinterpretations of sub context, shoving it in everyone's face until the show proves them wrong.
>>82196799
>hey i'm a fan i just wanted to know are there any male gems?
>GOD WHY DO YOU STRAIGHT WHITE FANS WANT OVERLY MUSCULAR POWER FANTASIES GOD FORBID WE HAVE SOME DIVERSITY!!!
Most of the people on the crew are whiny babies on social media. Thank God Sugar doesn't get involved in that shit.
>>82201345
Matt Burnett is a complete faggot. Good thing CN has been making him look like an idiot at every turn.
>>82201439
agreed there
>that time he announced steven universe was going on a hiatus until next year
>deletes those tweets quickly afterwards and then says he's "going off social media for a month for reasons"
IT'S COMING BACK A MONTH EARLY

Who else besides matt bitches about male gems?
Also I dont blame matt for getting upset. SU fans omline can be really annoying.
>>82200918
You have a very negative outlook on these things. I personally enjoy seeing everyone's ideas and speculation, and even arguing over them to a certain extent. They don't have any bearing on the show itself, so why be so serious about them? At best someone actually manages to get something right, at worst the show proves them wrong and they can move on to something new. It's all just sharing fun ideas and interpretations.
>>82201851
Speculations and stuff is fun, but when 90% of the fanart and fandom discussion is just pure made up bullshit like delusional headcanons, gemsonas and AU "what if" shipping it becomes the same kind of insufferable mess as undertale, homestuck and MLP. The majority of people stopped talking about what actually happens in the show long ago, now it is about what they think should happen or want to happen, degenerating so far that some of it is only loosely tied to the original ideas which the show presented.
They never shut up about it either. I enjoy the show, but the fandom basically lives and breathes the show, a show with such little content for discussion and a rabid fanbase who will never EVER shut up about it can only go wrong.
>>82202160
The fandom's gone 5 months without new content. How the fuck do you expect people to talk about things that have already been talked to death for so long? It's fucking obvious they'll start branching out and getting creative.
>>82202189
>How the fuck do you expect people to talk about things that have already been talked to death for so long?
Heres an idea for a change, next time you run out of things to talk about, how about you justtake a break from talking about it?
>>82201700
I'm really happy that you're happy and everyone here is pretty excited but...
Please tell me you're joking when you claim to be the first to spread the news? Seriously we knew about this since Friday
>>82202295
Most people take a break, you idiot. The people that are left after 5 months are the "autistic" ones that are too obsessed to let go.
>>82202351
>The people that are left after 5 months are the "autistic" ones that are too obsessed to let go.
Gee, it's almost like they're the one's I'm talking about in my post. And don't go off and say "b-but that isn't everyone" because those same people contribute to over half of the fandom discussion and art.
>>82202448
Literally every big fanbase goes through that stage. Try to find me one who hasn't. Again, you could just ignore that part of the fanbase and stick to the /co/ threads. It'll save you time and comfort apparently.
>>82201345
Have you actually seen the posts demanding male gems? Matt's posts didn't come out of a vacuum.
>>82194967
Calling it now, it'll be the bubbled gem in Lion's mane
