Why do people act like Steven Universe is the first show of its kind?
>>83683850
What other shows are feminist-approven?
What "kind" is that? I look at this and all I see is a shitty cartoon that relates to todays trends in an attempt to be hip, like every generation has

>>83683874
Legend of Korra?
It's the only show I know of with plenty of mystery that gets slowly uncovered as the plot chugs along.
When it starts you don't even know gems are aliens.
Then you don't know why they are here.
Then it's revealed what their society looks like.
Then you get to see their leader etc.
The runtime of the whole show is longer than the Star Wars original trilogy at this point, and we STILL don't know why the main character even exists/why Rose Quartz sacrificed herself.
Tell me of another show that keeps you in the dark as much as this one, if you know of it. I'm genuinely interested in this way of telling stories.
>>83683850
its the first of its kind that has all the elements in it and the 1st that many people see those elements
>>83683981
>Tell me of another show that keeps you in the dark as much as this one, if you know of it. I'm genuinely interested in this way of telling stories.
People are going to tell you "Gravity Falls" but most of the "mysteries" weren't even touched on and there was pretty much nothing interesting after finding out who the book author was.
You're not going to get a "skeleton key" situation in Steven Universe.
>>83683850
You mean there are OTHER lesbian space rock shows out there?
>>83683981
Why would comparing it to the run time of a movie mean anything?
Thats only 17 episodes. And SU's format involves a fair amount of filler.

>>83683850
Literally name one other show about a half-human half-gem magical boy with a trio of hot alien caretakers, one of whom is actually two smaller aliens
>>83684046
Yes, Gravity Falls was a bit of a disappointment for me.
>"What are all of these weird things?"
The answer is literally: Anomalies. The weird things are weird things.
>What's the main villain's mysterious plan?
His plan is to be villainous. He comes, and then he acts evil. His motivation is that he is evil and likes suffering.
>What is the deal with the lost twin brother?
He has brotherly feelings towards his twin, because he's a twin brother.
Also he was lost for a long time in UNSPECIFIED PLACE doing UNSPECIFIED THINGS. The lost brother's deal is that he was lost and that he is, deep down, still Stan's brother.

Not a show, but the first (good) half of Homestuck.
because sjws didnt actually watch old cartoons, they just like to say they did
The concept of fusion was pretty half ass in the original dbz, it's nice to see a show take a Cool concept and show its full potential. Also western animation hasnt built up a story like this before

>>83684617

>>83684617
I dunno, a fair amount of the episodes I watched seemed pretty fillerish. They may have sprinkled in a tiny amount of "lore" here and there just to make it worth it. Remove those parts and Its just like watching adventure time.
>>83684713
If you haven't watched every episode up to this point, you cannot say what is and isn't filler.
That's just facts.
>>83684595
Are you not posting examples because you're lying or rather because you're slow and don't fully understand how conversation works?
>>83684658
Seriously though Sadie's Song was about how Steven's optimism can unintentionally turn into selfishly going too far which is something Steven has done before.
Why does reading this thread remind me of MLP threads.
>>83684838
Because both fans like to make the same argument that their shows are one of a kind.

I don't like Steven Universe. The artstyle just turns me off. I was all prepared to live and let live, but Steven Universe's fanbase is seriously a cancer on par with My Little Brony and Homestuck
Usually when your fanbase is that fucking shit, there's something disingenious going on with the writing of your show
Either you go for cheap melodrama, or you "signal" to internet weirdos that you support their bullshit. In any case, nothing would make me happier than to see the show's cancellation. Less ugly fat fucks crying, more Voltron
>>83685222
>I don't know anything but I saw some people on the internet who pissed me off and now it's personal. More shows from my childhood!!!
>>83684219
This is such a retarded and biased analysis when you put it in the exact same breath praising SU for its "mystery" though. Everything you said can be bent to still be strongly rooted in truth just the same.
To be honest I barely even understand what "mystery" you're talking about. This is an extremely normal groundwork for plots that reveal more as the story goes on.
If this is your standard for a good story then I'd hate to see you embarrass yourself saying RWBY or Kingdom Hearts have good storytelling.
Action cartoons have been dead since those DC Nation shows were cancelled, and SU is the closest thing to an action cartoon with an overarching story that is currently airing.
>>83685290
>This is such a retarded and biased analysis
Nothing he said was wrong. The weird stuff is literally called "weird stuff" that's from the weird dimension. The villain's origin is, "I came from a flat dimension and uh uh uh I destroyed it" and his motivation is just that he wants to do whatever he wants which is ~EVIL~.
>>83685312
I know none of these are currently airing, but Miraculous Ladybug finished its first season real recently, Wakfu is still ongoing, and we have the Dofus movie subs to look forward to. Dofus I know isn't really action but the trailers seem to imply there would be a fair amount for hte movie.
>>83685290
>If this is your standard for a good story then I'd hate to see you embarrass yourself saying RWBY or Kingdom Hearts have good storytelling.
Kingdom Hearts does have good storytelling
>>83685325
>Nothing he said was wrong
Yeah it's almost as if I said exactly the same thing in the second sentence of the post, Sherlock.
>>83683981
>The runtime of the whole show is longer than the Star Wars original trilogy at this point, and we STILL don't know why the main character even exists/why Rose Quartz sacrificed herself.
So it has a bunch of filler.
>Tell me of another show that keeps you in the dark as much as this one, if you know of it. I'm genuinely interested in this way of telling stories.
Lost.
>>83685312
Why watch shit just because it's the closest thing currently airing when you can watch pretty much anything that has ever been aired thanks to the internet
I don't like x. x upsets me. Also, x is popular on y, so there's that.
>>83683850
Because we're young.
>>83685352
If your reasoning is exactly because of "they add more to the plot as they go along" then let me be the first to stop you and call you an immense retard.
Judging executive quality entirely after conceptual quality while hoping to have their opinion taken seriously is something only a biased idiot would do, and I hope for your sake you aren't being serious within that perspective.
Otherwise I'm interested in your reasoning.
>>83685442
No it ain't that the plot is big and sprawling.
It's just that the fundamentals of the story works. Kingdom Hearts is a fusion of Disney and Square Enix. The bad guys having this absurd complicated 1000 year plan, and every time they get their shit pushed in by that old Disney goodness.
It makes for a satisfying experience. And characters like Aqua and Roxas are legitimately interesting tragic figures.
>>83685325
Mysteries don't have to be these deep things with complex deep stories with dark twists
Why does /co/ have a massive hateboner for SU?
>>83685659
We don't
>>83685637
>A mystery doesn't have to be a mystery
The whole fucking point of a mystery is the story and twists.
>>83685659
Because the fans are fucking annoying. I like SU but avoid the threads here like a plague. The general is terrible just like all other generals too.
>>83685697
Something being "unexplainable" and "chaotic for no reason" is the literal fucking definition of a mystery.
>>83685659
The tiny horses taught us a harsh lesson.
>>83685659
I dont frequent /co/, but I like SU alright and appreciate it for what it is. I just dont think its the best damn cartoon in the world and I dont really dig the SJW vibe i get from it.
>>83685788
There is a difference between mystery as a genre and the actual fucking word
IT'S JUST DRAGONBALL
IT'S JUST A SHITTY WESTERN VERSION OF DRAGONBALL WITH FEMINISM INSTEAD OF THE MONKEY KING MYTH
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>83685788
That's not mysterious that's just inexplicable, it has no reason to it.
Mysteries have reasons, they're supposed to be like puzzles, things are initially shadowy and then it all comes to light. But with Gravity Falls the reason shit is weird is because they come from weird dimension. That's weak as shit.
Now you might say, it's okay, it's technically a mystery, because you didn't know they came from weird dimension at first. Yeah that's an entity you can call a mystery. But for a mystery STORY which Gravity Falls consistently advertised itself as, it's pretty fucking lame.
>>83685863
The only mystery was the author's identity. But even that got completely tossed aside as unimportant.
Rushed ending is written all over the second season. It Twin Peaks'd itself.
>>83685616
>The bad guys having this absurd complicated 1000 year plan, and every time they get their shit pushed in by that old Disney goodness.
This is viewing the series' storytelling as positive through an extremely altered lens. Not only does it miss out on HOW that story is told (telling a part of the story is not judging its presentation), but "old Disney goodness" triumphing over evil is an ambiguous compliment to give. "Good vs Evil" has existed forever in the cheesiest ways, and Disney has never even been close to sticking to one certain brand of it; even if the best example may be "colorful and teeming with soul."
Its storytelling isn't good because the way they go about it is a convoluted mess. And I'm not saying that simply because the lore/story is filled with mountainous quantity of detail. Just about every game they manage to either retcon establishment, or fail to bridge events properly. And that's not even the most criminal issue, considering it does an awful, basically nonexistent job of proper foreshadowing despite heaps of new plot elements introduced every title. Even the way events are chained isn't never haphazardly sudden. KH's writing is mostly plot driven, yet making all these fundamental errors which affect a majority of its own establishment is basically a hallmark of insufficient quality.
Even considering it's inevitably gonna sound like a fanfiction, there's a fine line crossing from "fanfiction" to "unnecessarily complex mess of a setting." Its storytelling does its job, but with a largely significant price it doesn't have to be inclined to suffer. At best it's tolerable because of the fact it's a big budget game series with positive attributes going for almost anything that isn't its literary merit.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, and it's one of those stories you gotta turn off your brain for. Still, it makes too many mistakes and goes overboard to earnestly be placed in the realm of "good", in spite of any relativity.
While I dont think SU is the first of its kind, I do enjoy the comfy/relaxed atmosphere of the slower parts of the show. Also the music isnt half bad.
>>83685222
Voltron would exist regardless of what was playing on CN. Plus CN or any other channel wouldn't take the risk on a show like Voltron.
In summation, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Go to bed.
>>83683850
people respect the show because authenticity in a show's voice and tone are to be respected. everyone knows that coming-of-age stories are well-trod material, but SU feels like it comes from a position of positivity and honesty. it makes a huge difference.
>>83685801
You've learned nothing except how to bitch. Get some perspective.

Really nigga? That shit is actually embarrassing to look at.
Avatar is good but not really a mystery. Most of the major plot points are revealed immediately, it's how the characters go about resolving them that takes up most of the story. The series does have good worldbuilding, though.
>>83685222
>Steven Universe's fanbase is seriously a cancer on par with My Little Brony
I hate newfags who don't actually remember the days when bronies were a plague upon this board. SUtards do not force their waifus into every discussion out of principle or shit up unrelated threads with gem porn. Nor do they constantly post new threads about the most insignificant stupid fetishy shit. In fact, they tend to stay contained entirely within their general when it's here, and I rarely see SU threads up when it's not.
>>83685171
Rebecca is a /co/mrade who hit the big time. If I don't have faith in people like her, what hope do I have of making something of myself?
>>83686683

>>83687047
Who said to not have faith in/look up to people? The hope in making something of yourself relies on yourself and hard work, not other peoples deeds.
I don't know what you're personally trying to accomplish in life, but you will often be shitty at something before you're good. Try to remember that when shit gets overbearing.

I dont get this meme. Theres plenty of other shows that have more fat characters than SU of which it only has like 3-4. Why does it get so much slack for it, despite Gravity Falls having like 8 fat characters?
Criticize and praise the show all you want /co/. Your praise is autistic and your criticism is based in your praise. Nothing is more obnoxious than a nonstop general except for people who are mad because others like a thing.
Steven Universe is a show about a boy learning to control his magical powers and accept responsibilities he never asked for. It's like conventions 101 if that's all you say to describe it. It's not some sjw boogie man jesus Christ. The creators are just really into magical girl harem animes and shit, the femininity of the characters is based way more.heavily in that than any girl power that threatens your fragile bubble.
And it doesn't have to be original to be good. It is good at getting you invested in the emotions of the characters and its serialization allows them.to grow and change.
Of course it's popular with Tumblr. It's popular with 4chan. Websites aren't hive minds you fucking babies. Some asshat posting guro on /b/ doesn't represent you just as much as some shitlord misandrist posting on tumblr doesn't represent tumblr. Popular things are going to be popular, period.

It's not some shitty rushed series Jesus Christ. The creators are just really into making Finn miserable and Bubbline and shit. The new complexity of the characters, erasing their old personalities is what makes it way more interesting and the femininity of the characters is based way more heavily in that than any girl power that threatens your fragile bubble.

MLP was for a while. Even Sarkeesian was a fan, then the Brony Frienzonies got stronger and soon MLP became "that show."
Also as someone who hates SJW shit, I don't hate SU. In a network full of shitty badly animated CalArts clones, it's a well slice of life/animated action show so I can't really hate it.

What are you talking about? Fusion took them multiple episodes to even get it done right. Even then it was a very temporary thing and flawed.

Basically what >>83692423 said.
But, also what I said >>83692781. DB/Z fusion dance had specific rules to it and making one wrong move can give undesired results. Plus it had two different fusion methods.
SU is just a better later seasons Adventure Time with way more anime references.
Reminder that Jasper is the only loyalist gem on earth, the rest are filthy rebel scum who got corrupted by the rebel queen.
Pearls reason for betrayal, lady boner for the enemy queen.
Garnets reason for betrayal, urges for unnatural abomination of a fusion between two different type of gems.
Amethysts reason for betrayal, ... no one knows that one is a mystery.
Peridot reason for betrayal, corrupted by a half breed son of the the rebel queen.
Jasper stays true to the cause no matter who she has to fight, the vanguard of home world reconquista of earth and a true patriot.

I frequent (or frequented, in the case of GF) the generals for both those series and I have never seen this happen.

I don't believe that simply having a strong female protagonist makes LoK a feminist show.
Should probably put some quotations around 'strong', for that matter.
Having a bisexual main character also has nothing to do with feminism either.
>>83693966
Nah, Lapis is a sad bitch who hates fun and even Peridot is a bit disjointed from the rest of the group and generally sucks at social interaction. Don't generalize, I'm sure the Homeworld gems' characterization will be fine.
>>83693847
It has everything to do with those two things. Are you one of those autists who can only see similarities if they are literal?

Peridots quirky trait is she is socially retarded after she joined hivemind.
Lapis quirky trait is she is a emo bitch with a hate / love for water.
Wish they would make homeworld gems that have actual integrity and loyalty, ruby's were bunch of goofs, opposition from homeworld is ridiculous making the show bland.
>>83683850
Let's just act like it will be the last
>>83690581
So your response to being called a newfag is basically confirming you're a newfag?
>>83683874
This is indeed the first cartoon show about lesbians and misandry.
>>83694173
>Peridots quirky trait is she is socially retarded after she joined hivemind.
When was she not socially retarded? We've never seen her interact with other characters that often before.
>Lapis quirky trait is she is a emo bitch with a hate / love for water.
Why would she not be? She's been fucked by Jasper for months straight at the bottom of the ocean. People don't bounce back from that shit.
>>83690104
Bitch i seen all three volumes and it sucks ass
>>83692332
Would't it be cool if they made a steven universe fighting game?, i think that'd be neat
>>83694167
Please explain in detail.
I mean, if you mean "it's a plot where things get revealed slowly" as being a Homestuck thing and "it turns out superheroes aren't what you thought they were" is a Madoka thing... I'd say you're being way too general.
SU has basically nothing in common with either series in terms of themes, characterization, tone, etc. At most you could say that Homestuck and SU are both slow-burning series.
>>83683907
I think it's the first show has gotten this far or is produced this well, most shows that came before it either didn't actually plan to end, got cancelled or just wasn't really that good.
>>83694659
Only if it has fusion.
>>83694167
not him, not an /a/fag but
>Homestuck
postmodern/sarcastic tone
heavily based in internet and vidya culture
plot first, character second
loads of fucking lore
shipbait, meta humor
>SU
optimistic tone, pacifist themes
basically an anime
character first, plot second
basic lore
no shipbait, very light meta humor
I don't get it, enlighten me anon.
Show posted on a network for children as the main audience.
All I'm saying.
>>83694833
>no ship bait
Really?
>>83695255
It mostly just goes straight for the romances.
There aren't any love triangles or god forbid any of Homestuck's double love squares.
>>83695255
Well...
>>83694833
>character first, plot second
More like: MUH FEELS first, drama second, characters third, plot whenever they remember putting it.
>>83695407
The first three are pretty much intertwined
>>83695407
>I don't like this show so its character development doesn't actually exist
It's not the first, but still pretty unique in a lot of ways.
>>83683907
Bullshit. The plot is about as heavy as Xiaolin Showdown's; probably less because of how slowly it progresses.
If SU is especially unique for anything, it is because of the characters' interactions, and how the show's issues are vague enough to allow the fans to project them onto their own bullshit insecurities.
>>83696960
>the show's issues are vague enough to allow the fans to project them onto their own bullshit insecurities
pretty much this

>>83683850
No idea, but I just started getting into this show and what the fuck is up with the airing schedule?
>>83697115
There isn't one.
Cartoon Network spends most of their time trying to avoid acknowledging Steven Universe as their show, refusing to air new episodes and shoving Teen Titans Go into their assigned slots. Every once in a rare while though we have a "Steven Bomb" in which CN blows their repressed load of SU in the form of a week of new episodes.
>>83685154
Why dont people like Steven and Peridot again?
>>83697491
I don't, Connie's a shit
>>83697229
Dont forget that these episodes always fucking leak, like they just dont give a shit
>>83692022
How am I either of these things? What the fuck are you talking about? Are you mentally ill?
>>83697115
>>83697229
>>83697607
The point is that CN recognizes the show's potential, but also Sugar's odd lack of jewness despite her appearance.
Sugar isn't going to let the show run past it's end point/become a zombie like AT or all the shows on Nick.
CN recognizes this, but also loves the hype they can get out of the show, so they keep spreading it out more and more.
>bomb format allows them to bump the interest in the show whenever it starts to wane
>bombs show huge spikes in internet response to the show, ergo the kind of success they want
>They split the current season into two, allowing them to have longer breaks as it was the "between season" time
CN isn't trying to avoid SU, they're trying to avoid running out of SU so they can milk it for as long as possible.
>>83697736
Not him but I think he is referring to your pic in which you claim a little girl in an anime is the best girl.
That image and filename is contradicting your post, however, so I would assume it's meant to be ironic, or to be an example of the "aggravating waifu posting" that you don't like, and that you do not have genuine feelings for this small child. Would this assumption be correct? If so then I think >>83692022 didn't read through and comprehend your post and just jumped at the first opportunity to be angry.
>>83697948
Yes it's ironic, but what the hell does the character have to do with pedophilia or weeaboo? She isn't real and she isn't even prepubescent in-universe.
>>83697913
I mean, I hope youre right. Nothing worse than a show that gets cancelled before it finishes its story
>>83698119
Im not even part of the conversation but would you please shut up about it? No one cares. Is this the first time youve been insulted on the internet or something?
>>83698312
Why are you complaining to me about this? I did not start this. I did not bring this up.
>>83687925
It was better when it was actually about the dragonballs, now it's just a constant pissing contest.
>>83693499
Wasn't Amethyst's reason directly stated in the extended intro? She considers the Earth her home, and she wants to protect it.
>>83689936
I'm hugely anti-SJW and their hideous works. I also enjoy Steven Universe, and don't really see it as SJW like /co/ like to insinuate. Drenched in estrogen, sure, but there's other shows for primarily female audiences I've enjoyed as well.
>>83683907
Young Justice was really plot heavy too, more so than SU.
>>83694783
Secret Satudays
>>83694833
when you put it that way (I'd say SU's lore is medium, not basic) I can see why they seem different.
but there's SOMETHING about them that's similar: some SU crew members are homestucks, and there's a lot of fandom overlap (though SU starting shortly after a huge homestuck hiatus started probably has something to do with it)
>>83697607
>Leak
It's not a fucking leak. The world doesn't revolve around America.
>>83683889
>in an attempt to be hip
How?
>>83693745
Bruh.
>>83697491
Because he already has a respective love interest.
An actual fan supports that.
got this written up, dare I?
TL;DR I meant "spend time apart" not "break up" and ruby and sapphire's relationship isn't unhealthy for gems but it doesn't change the validity of my point
>>83703254
Why are you asking us? I don't think you're doing this for a laugh anymore, I get the impression you might genuinely care about this. If so, asking 4chan if you should post something on Tumblr is about the worst idea.
For multiple reasons.
>>83703432
To be honest, I was never doing this for a laugh. I mean, the post was always sincere, it was only my reaction that was trolling
beats me
>>83698362
Yes, you did. Fuck you.
>>83704655
Where did I start it and how?
>>83704655
>>83704707
Would the two of you shut the fuck up! It doesn't matter, no one cares!

Once again: I did not start this.

It sounds like you know as much about Felicia Day as you do about SU.
>>83684219
what bothered me the most about GF "mysteries" is that all of the "hidden lore" and "secret codes" and all the bullshit clues and easter eggs dont mean shit, most of the were pointless jokes with no bearing on the plot.
meanwhile on steven universe we are still getting hidden meaning from the pyramid temple in season one
>>83706375
this desu. there's still plot threads we still don't have an answer to in season 3.
>>83700573
He is just using buzz words.
People don't want to actually critique the show so they just critique the concepts of the show with buzzwords they've heard online
>>83695255
No you faggot there is very little if any ship bait. Almost all of it is just basic social interaction or learning to understand someone else better. The only ship bait is in your head.

>WHAT IS GRAVITY FALLS
Gravity Falls is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation that first aired on Disney Channel, and then on Disney XD from June 15, 2012 to February 15, 2016. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines (voiced by Jason Ritter) and his twin sister Mabel (voiced by Kristen Schaal) in the fictional town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, while on summer vacation. At the start of the series, Dipper and Mabel are sent to spend the summer with their great-uncle (or "Grunkle") Stan (voiced by Alex Hirsch), in a mysterious town full of paranormal forces and supernatural creatures. The kids help Stan run "The Mystery Shack", the tourist trap that he owns, while also investigating the local mysteries. The series officially premiered on the Disney Channel in the United States on June 15, 2012.

>>83689936
these
I don't understand how SU is SJW at all
it's a good cartoon that has character development and manages to do both good self-contained episodes and long over-arcing plots at the same time. AT and gumball did neither.
>>83715777
>>83686683Learn to make a tulpa!

>>83683874
This is unironically the answer to op's question
It's just also a good cartoon
>>83701048
Yes, but their relationship is incredibly boring. I like Connie as a character, but whenever she and Steven has any kind of interaction it's just "OH LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE TOGETHER YOUNG LOVE AND SHIT", whereas Steven and Peridot play off each other much better.t. A butthurt Stevidotfag who'll never be happy
>>83700442
Anon is right. SU is nothing like HS.
>>83715787
because made by female SJW clammer on to it...
which is kinda ironic and sexist.
>>83695255
Yes, really
They even made an episode where Peridot watches a single episode of a TV show and starts having a loooong silly rant about who's supposed to date who
And the irony of it all is that the shipfags took that comedic scene and started looking for even more "hints" about "confirmed" ships
>>83685353
Bro you were saying it like "Uh uh you could bend the truth that way" but no that's truly as deep as Gravity Falls went, there was no bending involved.
>>83687057
This. Just find a very thin, pale girl with no ass or boobs and a motherly but bland personality. I'm sure 1 in a million women are probably like that.
>>83715905
can't they just be friends for fucks sake? why does it need to be romantic, christ.
>>83692357
>>83694167
Literally the only thing SU has in common with HS is that you could make fan characters of the aliens and that's not even anything that's all that notable about HS.
>>83715905
I agree on liking Peridot's and Steven's dynamic much better, but in a platonic way. People can be very much in tune with each other without it being romantic. And I really prefer Peri and Steven to have a sibling/best friends relationship
>>83716007
It's the only male/female interaction in cartoons these days where the couple goes directly to romance from the first episode, let it be. If anything is annoying in its "Just let them be friends" category it's every single other cartoon where the guy pines after an uninterested girl until he wins her love or is continuously beaten up by his own inability to move the fuck on which is supposed to be funny except we've seen every joke they've done with that concept fifty times over and they still keep doing it.
>>83716007
Why can't we just let them be in a romantic relationship fucks sake?!
No, really, fuck this shit. Like >>83716077 says, there's nearly no fuckin cartoons with romance that brings something on the table.
I wouldn't like it if it felt rushed and retardedlike a certain show with a certain surprise lesbian couple, but I think we can trust in the SU crew to make it work smoothly.
If watching romantic relationships in a cartoon makes you feel awkward,I'm sorry.

If you're not up to date, hope is kill for the 23rd, and it's unlikely to come back on the 30th due to the TTG/PPG crossover that they're hyping up so much. Current most-anticipated date of return is now the 7th of July.
