Title: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Elisto on March 13, 2015, 10:10:05 AM
This show...I just don't even know what to say about it! It's amazing! Everything is brilliant and creative and wonderfully done! I'm not sure how a show can so consistently have major reveal after major reveal, episode after episode, for a whole season, and it never gets old and is exciting an emotional every single time. How do they do it?! I've been watching SU from the beginning, and I just can't even comprehend how it's possible to just continuously get better when it started off so strong to begin with.

Anyone else want to gush over it with me? I've tried to avoid any spoilers because this show just has to be experienced but I feel like no explanation of why it's great can be done without talking about what's happened!

We were just talking about this show in the chat last night!

I only recently (as in maybe a month or two ago) started watching it after a friend asked me "Why haven't you been watching this?  It's right up your alley!"  The thing is, I watch waaaayyy too many other shows, but with a few shows having ended, that freed up my watching space.  So I'm not totally caught up on it, but I'm getting there.

I don't mind spoilers at all, since the internet tends to make it a little hard to avoid those, especially for a show that so many people are watching.  I think I'm the only one of my friends who hasn't been watching since the beginning!  :lol:

I agree though, SU started off strong and just continues to be wonderful.  I'm glad I gave it a chance.

I looove Steven Universe!  I'm not caught up yet, but I'm getting there.

Who's your favorite gem?  Mine is Pearl.  But really, I love them all.

Garnet, and after yesterday's episode, even more so. It was something I was initially concerned that if they ever did with her character, it would fundamentally change her role in the story, but somehow it actually ended up making her even better for me.

This is a great show! I love how it's influenced by stuff like magical girl shows and video games. I haven't been able to watch the new episodes that have aired this week, but hopefully can catch the reruns. I like how Steven looks up to three females as his role models, and how his powers are defensive and healing, but no one considers him to be weak because of it.

I like all the gems but Amethyst is my fave.

I watched a couple of episodes once. It wasn't too bad. Maybe I should watch a few more.

There's so much to love about this show, but you hit the nail on the head, at least for me!

I love all of the gems, but Amethyst is definitely my favorite.

Steven Universe! I really love this show, its wonderful storytelling, its mainly female cast, its "pink boy" main character.... along with Gravity Falls is my favorite show of this decade.

My favorite Gem is Garnet, although I also like Amethyst and Steven (does he count as a Gem? sure!)

I gave it a try recently and liked it too.  Along with Adventure Time, it's got a surprising amount of adult humor.

Started watching a while ago, I'm about halfway through and looking forward to getting caught up. I find it hard to pick a favourite gem since they all remind me of people I've actually met in real life.
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Elisto on March 15, 2015, 07:28:00 AM
Yeah, they're all wonderful! I say Garnet's my favorite, but I feel a little bad to even pick a favorite because I love them all and they all get such wonderful development!

I love Steven Universe!! :D This week was so awesome, especially the two-parter!

Amethyst's my favourite ^_^

Amethyst for life!  If I ever cosplay, I'm cosplaying Amethyst. I mean, how often do chubby awesome girls come up?!
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Dreamer on March 19, 2015, 02:47:29 PM
Yeah right? I think this cartoon is making a big positive change. We've got three female main characters and two chubby main charas. Even the secondary charas get some nice development. I like that Steven's father is not just another "bumbling dad" and tries to be useful to the group even if he doesn't like "magic" stuff that much.

Yes, Greg is wonderful! He doesn't know much about the magic side of things, but he's still involved and supportive, even if his own life seems to be a bit of a mess.

I feel like this is really the first time I can watch a show without the background concern that they're going to just fall into the usual stereotypes and "default" portrayals. Everything about the characters and their interactions seems so carefully thought out and intentional.

Greg is such an important example of a responsible parent who may not be able to have custody of his kid(s).

Hey, who can blame him? Steven isn't really THAT human if you think about it. It'd be near impossible for Greg to have full responsibility
of him, given all the missions and blooming powers and other gem stuff going on right now. He knows that the best place for Steven to live is with the Crystal Gems. But that doesn't mean he isn't still an important part of Steven's life!

He's still there to escort friends to and from the home (read: Connie), they frequently hang out together to just have fun, and Greg can even be an important disciplinarian in Steven's life! Even though he's struggling to have a home and doesn't have a lot of money, he's still a great dad and I just love that so so so much.

Yeah, I know, the fandom can get pretty nasty sometimes :/ I was really dissapointed with the big fuss they made about the Uncle Grandpa crossover. The best fandoms start to rot soon.

Sometimes you just have to ignore the fandom as best you can.  Don't let fans of the show ruin the show for you. ;)

Post by: Galactica on May 28, 2015, 09:54:09 AM
I started watching this show- and the first few episodes seemed very light and humorous (like Adventure time which I can take in small doses only) but maybe somewhat less "loud" ....  but then as you watch the episodes, it becomes clear that the beginning episodes are just background for the REAL STORY --   honestly I love this show SO MUCH!  I think it is so much better than Adventure Time or MLP:FIM.

Not only is the storyline cohesive and clever-  the characters are AWESOME!  Garnet is my all time favorite- but I love all of the Gems, even neurotic Pearl  :lol:    I also LOVE Lion, and Connie!  I also love that they have different body shapes and even more rare- actual brown people who are not just background characters!  Oh- and I love that the show was created by a female-  Rebecca Sugar.  And I love her name :D I think the only show I didn't love was the Uncle Grandpa one- which was so random and I hated that character.  I am not familiar with that cartoon so I was like "WTF is going on ?"

The fandom did make me apprehensive at first, especially when it looked like one of the less desirable Brony factions was going to try and take over-  but that seems to have dried up.

My only complaint is that there is no toys!  I really would love a set of Steven Universe figures... 

I just read that the "hiatus" ends June 15th!  So happy to hear that!!!  http://rebeccasugar.tumblr.com/

I started laughing at this when I saw this on tumblr, it's a show geared for all genders and "men" "WE WOULD LIKE TO SHOW OUR INTEREST IN THIS SHOW AND GIVE OUR GROUP A NAME TO GO BY"  :haha: like you watch sparkly talking horses I don't think you need to have a group for a genderless specific show (even though FIM is how I got into MLP  :ninja: )

Eee I'm so excited for the 15th! I've asked my friend to come and stay that week so we can watch all the new episodes together!

It's one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows! I love the animation and the story lines. It has a perfect mix of darkness and humor that used to be in cartoons in the 80's and 90's. I love that it is also created by a woman. It's the type of tone for a show I would love for my own one day.

Post by: Twilight Pink on May 31, 2015, 01:36:39 PM
I LOVE this show more than MLP:FiM. Steven Universe actually makes since, and its the only cartoon that actually grows and develops :) I can connect to it, and it makes me feel all emotional at times :P (not many cartoons can do that to me)

And at first I was turned off by the Uncle Grandpa crossover episode, but I gave it a chance and actually liked it :3 (even though I HATE uncle grandpa)

I'm just glad I have Garnet as my actual birthstone :D and plus she's black? That's another plus for me ^_^ Estelle was really the perfect choice for Garnet's VA. (I still like Estelle's song, "American Boy")

But my personality is more with Amethyst. We're both scrappy XD.
My boyfriend is annoyed that his birthstone is a "nerd", which is Peridot. I say, "Hey, she's one of those advanced gems. " and he still dislikes her.  :lol:

Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?

Pfff apparently December's birthstone is turquoise, I hope a turquoise appears in the show at some point.
If you go by zodiac though, some places say sagittarius is lapis lazuli. This is good!

Also Twilight Pink, your boyfriend is silly, Peridot is the best! :P But then I think every gem is the best. I honestly can't pick one favourite.

Oh my gosh, I love Steven Universe!!! Its incredible. My favorite gem is Stevonnie. Garnet is close, its so hard to choose!

Edit: I really love Greg. He has turned out to be one of the best characters on the show, in my opinion.
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Starie on June 01, 2015, 08:18:12 AM
My gemstone is Peridot too :( Though I'll hold out judgement until we get more character development for her. Just right now she seems like a very logical, the numbers don't lie person, and less of a fleshed out person. It's too militaristic for me to like her right now lol
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Marigold on June 01, 2015, 08:55:06 AM
I'm probably missing a whole season.  :(  I'm watching it on Hulu and they don't have all the current episodes...or at least I haven't seen Peridot yet.  I did like Lapis Lazuli a lot. 

Of the main gems my favorite is Steven.  He is just so atypical of a boy character and is very lovable and silly.  Of the three guardians, Pearl is my favorite.  She's her own kind of quirky. 

I really love Greg.  He is a caring father and protective.

My birthstone is Peridot and I love her :D Fell for her for the second she showed up. (I was all "omg is that Peridot?!? omg it is!! :freak:", haha) Amethyst's my favourite, though.

December also officially has blue zircon and tanzanite.  They have blue topaz too, but I think it is more of a commercial thing because blue zircon is hard to find in gem grade quality and turquoise is not "fancy" enough I suppose for jewelers.  Tanzanite was only added recently to December's official list.  So any of these can stand for December's stone. 

I'd like to see them do Sodalite, Tanzanite, and Aragonite.  I love that the Gems all are not common stones.

Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Marigold on June 01, 2015, 12:41:47 PM
I think Opal was the first time we saw a fusion, wasn't it?  Opal is my favorite stone, so I was sort of hoping she would be her own character and would look more like an Opal.

Not counting Garnet, yes. It's the episode that introduces the concept of gem fusion, anyway.

Opal and Garnet are my absolute faves, I love Opal so much but I know we probably won't see too much of her

And that song is stuck in my head pretty much all the time! I love it

Post by: Crystal-Sushi on June 02, 2015, 04:39:29 AM
I'm pretty fond of this show. I love the visuals and colours, and have watched all of the episodes up to date but some parts are just difficult to watch; mainly the ones where there is some kind of emotional turmoil going on because I always feel the same way on the character's behalf. It's always been like this for me, and it's bad enough that I can't watch many live-action films and such because I don't like the characters being more relatable. Animation is easier, but still difficult at times...
As for a favourite gem, I like Rose Quartz, Lapis Lazuli and Pearl's designs, but I don't feel like I 'know' them well enough yet to say that they're my favourite character.... I'd also love for Turquoise to appear at some point because that's my birthstone <3

I am late posting here, but...

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!
It is one of the best cartoons that has aired in a loooong time and it makes me so so happy when I watch it. It holds my attention and I am constantly laughing. The characters are so real and wonderfully written and it has such a unique, amazing plotline. I have to say Garnet is definitely my favorite for so many reasons. She is the rock of the group and I just love the way she talks to Steven and how much she cares for him :) Not that they don't all care for him, but the way she does it just makes me smile xD I loved her even before I found out Sapphire makes half of her, which is my birthstone xD And it turns out my bestie's birthstone is a Ruby. How perfect! haha

So I'm making my wife, a few friends and myself-  Steven Universe costumes for Halloween (and possibly for random cons) 

Amethyst, Steven and Rose are super easy- Pearl is do-able, but Garnet is a little more complicated!  But I do have the shades and wig down so far!

Nice!  :biggrin: I've been wanting to do Garnet myself. Heck,I'm already African American! XD but I feel I must have the waist (well not exactly but a little more slimmer than what I have now) and the hips just to complete the look :/

I can easily do Amethyst though :P
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Galactica on June 09, 2015, 10:38:02 AM
Yeah- well if I went with the character I looked the most like- I think I'd be stuck with Rose since she is pink and fat-  but Garnet is an essential. So I'll do her anyway :D

THIS is my favorite cosplay of all time for Garnet- her costume is so perfect- and she dressed her kid up as Steven- they look awesome!

Oh I found it!

Anyway- if you (or anyone) is doing Garnet- and doesn't want to painstakingly make the gloves- THESE work great!-  just need to be painted.  Theyfit any size hands- they look awesome!

I've had friends tell me to watch the show for well.. over a year.  But i was so burnt out on Cartoon Network shows I didn't like that I didn't even want to give it a chance.  I finally gave it a chance a little over a week ago and ended up binge watching all of it in 3 or 4 days. XD

I have a friend that cosplays Amethyst and is slowly working on Rose Quartz.

I also want to cosplay but.. so far it'd be kind of obscure stuff. XD  Either 'Island Adventure' Sadie, a genderbent Greg Universe, or a Greg/Rose fusion.

Definitely! There was a close up shot of her and Garnet when they ported in and she had her old outfit on.  I just think the grey tunic was a better choice. Black seems too harsh on her.

Id like to see this show! I saw a lot of people dressed as Rose Quartz at Akon and I think the show looks funny!  It reminds me of Flapjack or Adventure Time! Is it like a kids show?
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Iris on June 17, 2015, 08:20:25 AM
It is a kids show, yes, but it's also sooo much more.  The first handful of episodes seem just really cute and fun, but it quickly jumps into some really emotional stuff.  All of it remains kid friendly but it's definately something that an adult audience can enjoy.

I also prefer Amethyst's original outfit.

Annnnd, I'm probably in the super minority but I've never really liked Connie.  Like I never outright hated her.. but I guess I just never really enjoyed her storylines and felt her episodes were boring (like I would literally sigh when I realized it was a Connie ep).  Sworn to the sword was good, but I'm not sure if that was because of Pearl or if she's finally going to win me over.

Id like to see this show! I saw a lot of people dressed as Rose Quartz at Akon and I think the show looks funny!  It reminds me of Flapjack or Adventure Time! Is it like a kids show?
Its a cartoon yes. But a more mature cartoon IMO, nothing like Flapjack or Adventure Time :P

I think it has a lot in common with Adventure Time-  but I can only take Adventure Time in small doses, as it can get very annoying and there is no real underlying story.

Steven Universe started out seeming like there was no underlying story- but then it becomes clear that there definitely is.

Loving the new season, can't wait to see what happens next-  seems like they are definitely building towards something BIG

I finally got to watch Sworn to the Sword and I thought it was cute :) I am totally in the minority, but it felt slightly boring to me, but oh well. Just kind of some sword fighting, a song, and Steven being cute. :silly: Am I the only one anticipating another episode with Ruby and Sapphire? I am DYING to get to know their characters more x3
And just for giggles I want to share one of my faaavorite fanart of SU

It seriously gets all my feels going with how precious it is xD And the grown up Steven is PERFECT :3 He looks so much like Rose, yet you can definitely see some Greg too :heart: The artist has done multiple pieces with her version of Steven grown up and they are to die forrrr xD

oh gawsh, MNN! That fan art is amazing and I want to see Steven grown up! We kind of got a glimpse of him growing up in one of the episodes, but I like that version much better! DAT HURR!

For those who don't watch it on TV, where do you want it at? I'd like to watch it from the beginning, but I'm unsure where to do that at.

Wow- that fanart is great!

I watch the older SU episodes on Hulu-  you can also watch older episodes or current LIVE episodes- directly on Cartoonnetwork http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/schedule/index.html

However, it is rare that i can catch a live show, so I usually find the new episode on Youtube

Though I'm more assured of Peridot's character as a "do it for science" experimenter who doesn't let morality get in the way of "technological' progress. Of course if there's one thing this show has taught, its that people are a lot more multi faceted than that.

Well, Jasper and Peridot mentioned Yellow Diamond back when we first met them, so presumably they're working for her. Ugh, I've got and heard so many theories about what's going on...just, in general with this show!

Yeah, it's a kids cartoon, but it tackles such mature and complex ideas in such a careful and nuanced way, it's really not just for kids...I feel like it's the kind of show I and presumably the creators wanted when we were kids.

As for cosplay, I'll be Stevonnie with Steven's shield and Rose's sword at Otakon in July, and I'm working on Opal, but that's no where near done, so not this time. I'd love to cosplay Garnet too at some point, but I feel like I'm not sure if it's really OK for me, being white, to cosplay a basically black character...I mean, technically she's an alien, but still...I don't want to accidentally do something offensive. Even Stevonnie, I'm not entirely sure...

Connie's Indian. Her last name is Maheswaran and the style of martial arts she's learning (and the outfit she's wearing) in Sworn to the Sword is a type from India. You can also see some photos in the background of her house in a few episodes that show some people wearing some Indian-style clothes.

Coming from a black person who has always felt limited on what she could cosplay, I say go for it.  When it comes down to it, color, body size, etc. shouldn't dictate who you can and can't cosplay. ^.^  If anything, it just makes cosplaying so much more interesting when you see different types of people taking on certain characters.  If people only dressed up as characters they already look like, the cosplay scene would be pretty boring.

Anyway, looks like I'm starting Steven Universe from the beginning again because my fiance wants to watch it now. Yaaayyy! :P

Well, I agree, people should generally be able to cosplay who they like, and appearance doesn't have to matter if you don't want it to - that's not really the issue for me. Just, given white Americans' history of appropriated appearances and cultures, I'm not sure it's possible for me to get out of the shadow of that.

Wow, I didn't know that about the martial arts!  That makes an amazing episode even more amazing.

I really have never watched a cartoon that handled "universe reveals" as subtly and amazingly as Steven Universe.  Like, you start out and you think it's going to be an airy, "lol random" show, like Adventure Time, but the world and backstory are slowly revealed, not to mention the Gems' deeper motivations.

Unnnngh, I love it so much.

Her mom is for sure Indian but me and my boyfriend were discussing the possibility that her father was Japanese.  At at least one point in the show she says something Japanese before she starts eating.  Looking at him I think he could be either Indian or Japanese, but it seems like something they wouldn't have randomly put in their for no reason.

Speaking of cosplaying what you want to, I really really really want to cosplay as Greg Universe because he's my favorite.  I actually had a really cool idea for a Rose/Greg fusion, so I'm going to do that even though it's been said in the show that it isn't possible. xp

There definitely won't be any more new episodes this month (all/most of CN's current shows had a week of premieres this month, it wasn't just SU - next week is Regular Show and I believe the week after is Teen Titans Go). I'd guess there won't be any more eps until Stevenbomb #3, but we probably won't know for sure until CN puts up their schedule at the beginning of July.

(I'm sure they'll go back to regular scheduling *eventually*, though; these recent weeks of premieres are probably just something they're doing over summer)

Also, WHY DOES STEVEN BOMB HAVE TO END?! How am I going to make it til July?! :yikes:

She did say it.  And between that, her father's appearance, and the fact that her dad can't drive well I thought it might be a clue that he could be Japanese.  But she could just be a Japanese fan.. we just haven't seen any hint of that (manga, anime references, lack of getting to watch unrealistic tv, etc) from her that I've noticed.  Whereas we've actually seen a lot of Japanese references from Ronaldo and a couple from Steven.

So that's why me and my boyfriend thought her dad might be Japanese but it's all pretty vague evidence and we might be drawing links out of nothing. XD

Sorry to go off topic, but my guy and I were watching some episodes last night (first time he's ever seen it) and he pointed out that Pearl displays a lot of innuendos and I'm watching episodes and now I can't unsee this.  Would gems have a "preference" so to speak?

I'm watching the first episode with Stevonnie in it and when Pearl and Garnet are dancing and Pearl gets pushed against the wall and blushes, and her many encounters with Rose... We could just read too far into this. But, I notice it with Spongebob too!

In other news, my binge watching is progressing nicely. ^^;;

Post by: LadyMoondancer on June 21, 2015, 08:19:34 PM
I'm not sure if Pearl is interested in other gems in general--she seems focused on Rose Quartz for the most part.  My impression is that it was unrequited love, probably because she never had the courage to talk about her feelings with Rose.  But yeah . . .

"You just think about the life you'll have together after the war . . . You do it for her . . . *blushes cutely*  That is to say, you'll do it for him."

So here's rampant speculation on my part:

Spoiler
I think pearls are a low caste gem, based on Jasper making a snide remark about part of the team being "a pearl" and Pearl singing that line about "deep down you know you're not built for fighting."

So my theory is that Rose Quartz was the first person to treat Pearl like . . . a person.  Pearl fell in love with her, but still felt she was basically unworthy of Rose, so she channeled all her feelings into the "knight" thing, trying to show Rose how she felt.  This didn't work (Rose not being a mind reader), so Pearl is left glowering jealously at Greg--and probably every human Rose had fun with before.

So then there's Pearl and Steven.  Let me say that I think Pearl truly cares for Steven in a motherly way.  At the same time, I think on some level she's just trying to protect the one little piece of Rose Quartz that's left in the world.  In "Rose's Scabbard" she even says that she sometimes wonders if Rose can see her through Steven's eyes.

But speaking of inneundo, did anyone else get the impression that Greg was the latest in a string of human lovers that Rose had casual flings with?  Like she liked him but he was just an amusement at first, and it was only after their talk (after failing to fuse) that she started considering they could get serious despite their differences.  A lot of this is based on Greg's expression during the "What Can I Do For You" song--he looks very unsure.  Not like a guy who thinks things are going well.
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Twilight Pink on June 21, 2015, 09:07:29 PM
Well they are aliens. So I'd imagine they don't understand the concept of human love/romantic relationships.

That "We Need To Talk" episode really got to my boyfriend though....
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: LadyMoondancer on June 21, 2015, 09:23:16 PM
I think they might not understand human romantic relationships (at least not without effort, like the effort Rose Quartz made for Greg), but they do have their own equivalent.  Ruby and Sapphire are in the equivalent of a romantic relationship--Garnet says as much when she turns down the postal worker in 'Love Letters.'  "Three's a crowd."

Plus her awesome rap.  "Go ahead and try to hit me if you're able, can't you see that my relationship is stable? I know you hate the way we intermingle, but I think you're just mad 'cause you're single.  I am made o-o-of l-o-o-ove."

I think all the fusions are metaphors for relationships--some romantic and some platonic. Fusions like Jasper + Lapis Lazuli are the equivalent of toxic, unhappy relationships.

Yeah its heavily implied that Ruby and Sapphire are so in love that they can't stand to be seperated. Also in Keeping It Together she outright states it.  Hence to them fusion is I guess what you would consider a strong commitment in relation to humans (say marriage?) It translates enough between humans and gems, so they clearly have similar relationships but not exactly the same.

Agree it appeared that Rose had probably had flings with other humans before Greg- that was the impression I got too.

Yes I think Pearl was in love with Rose- I do also think it was unrequited.

I think the Gems can have relationships and love.  Like Garnet.

STEVEN: Garnet is already in a relationship.

CONNIE: Wait, really?

STEVEN: Well, yeah! She IS a relationship.

CONNIE: Oh, you mean because she’s a fusion?

STEVEN: Ruby and Sapphire are so close, that they can’t stand to be apart.

CONNIE: So I guess this date with Jamie is out of the question.

GARNET: Three’s a crowd.


One of the things that I love BEST about Steven Universe is that they treat a same sex relationship as normal and great.

Also yeah I think I've been obsessed with this show pretty solidly since I first got into it at the end of Stevenbomb 1. It's like, my thing right now.
What is Stevenbomb? This isn't the first time I've heard it.

What else should I know about this fandom?!  :blush: :blush:

That's just what they call it when CN airs a new episode every day for one week, instead of one new episode a week. The first one was in March and its episodes covered the season 1 finale, which was super exciting and made a lot of new people, including myself, start watching!
The second Stevenbomb just happened last week. There's a third one starting on 13th of July!

I feel bad, but I don't have television. I will definitely buy DVDs if they come out (beyond the one already). And figures...seems unlikely, but still, I really would love if they made action figures or similar.

Also, season numbering is weird because some official sources have the two halves of season 1 listed as seasons 1 and 2.

Yep, same here. (And I'm not sure if the UK even gets new episodes at the same time as the US...)
But yeah, I'd gladly buy all sorts of merch/DVDs to make up for it! As long as they make some.

I haven't had any problems with adware / malware.  I do use AdBlock, though.

The episodes load slowly compared to Youtube, so I'll usually start and episode, pause it during the credits, and come back a little later to watch it.

Anyone have speculations about the new gem that will be introduced in the next Steven bomb? Sardonyx is coming...
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Elisto on June 28, 2015, 07:17:27 AM
I want it to be the Garnet/Pearl fusion, but the way they phrased that sounds ominous...and I think I also saw "week of Sardonyx" as a tag on one of the official sources, so I really don't know what to expect here. Ooo, or maybe we'll be revisiting the Centipeedle...Sardonyx can be green I think?
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: RainbowRay on June 28, 2015, 08:12:39 AM
I think I'm mostly hoping for an entirely new gem, but other theories sound exciting too! Whatever it is it'll probably still be surprising, they wouldn't do something like revealing a name if they thought fans could easily guess what was going to happen. So I'm hyped for surprises anyway!

While I don't think Sardonyx will be Centipeetle (the orange text kind of strongly hints at orange sardonyx I'd say), I do hope Centipeetle shows up again soon, I love her! :D

Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: RainbowRay on June 28, 2015, 12:35:53 PM
Yes, action Garnet seems very appropriate!

Hmm, now I'm wondering if Jasper would be suited to an action figure too. Part of me says obviously yes (imagine making battle scenes with the Garnet figure!), but part of me wants her to have beautiful fluffy hair instead, lol.

July 14th (Tues) - Keystone Motel
July 15th (Wed) - Onion Friend
Steven and Amethyst visit the strange world of Onion's house.
July 16th (Thurs) - Historical Friction
July 17th (Fri) - Friend Ship

As far as I know "Cry For Help" and "Onion Friend" are the only two with synopses so far.

It's crazy that they will make Adventure time background characters and characters from one episode- but nothing for Steven Universe at all? Seems like Steven Universe is definitely popular enough to warrant more merch.  I think they perceive it as a girl's cartoon though and so not as important. So irritating!

I really wish there was merch too. I want a Garnet plush more than anything and I'd really like some t-shirts. They really need more DVDs too, a single 12 episode one isn't enough.

But yeah I'm a huge fan of the show. Steven, Greg, Rose, and Garnet are my favorite characters. I've been showing it to my boyfriend and having little marathons with him and he's really enjoying it so I'm super happy!! Can't wait for the next Steven Bomb, I need more!!

That's what I honestly think too :/

Most of the cartoons on cartoon network are male dominated, while SU have strong female characters so therefore, I don't think CN is totally comfortable with that IMO :s

The ones she worked on were:

"It Came from the Nightosphere"
"Power Animal"
"The Chamber of Frozen Blades"
"The Real You"
"Susan Strong"
"Mortal Folly"
"Morituri Te Salutamus"
"Fionna and Cake"
"What Was Missing"
"Beautopia"
"Jake vs. Me-Mow"
"Incendium"
"Hot to the Touch"
"Daddy's Little Monster"
"Gotcha!"
"Burning Low"
"Lady & Peebles"
"I Remember You"
"Jake the Dog"
"Bad Little Boy"
"Simon & Marcy"

I really loved Fiona and Cake, and I remember you, and Bad Little Boy, and Simon and Marcy...

Back on topic though- need more Steven Universe!!!!

I'd bet SU merch will start being released next year. IIRC Regular Show didn't get anything until it was partway through its third season. :) idk why but sometimes merch takes ages to be released, even though there's clearly a market for SU merch! It's weird.

(Also, a lot of the episodes that Rebecca boarded for Adventure Time are amazing - "Fionna and Cake" is one of my absolute favourites - but I'd suggest against *only* watching her episodes. If just because quite a few of them rely on information given in other episodes that she didn't work on - "Jake the Dog" is the last part of a three-parter, for example.)

Going back on topic, I'm so excited for next week's Stevenbomb! I'm really curious as to who Sardonyx will be.

I hope there'll be another Lars/Sadie episode too! (Not necessarily a shippy episode, mind, just one with those two in it) It feels like we haven't seen them in forever.

My son points out that Lars is a jerk to Sadie and that's not how good friends act. :) (I use cartoons as a "good friends/bad friends" scenario for him.)

And that's next week?! Seems it sped to get here. XD

Ok, so I'm a little late to the party, but my son has recently started watching this show.  He loves it! I've been watching it with him and I have to say, it's really... different, but in a refreshing way! It's not everyday you see a show about a sensitive kid and such strong female leads.  Gotta say, Im also digging  Greg's song "Comet" from "Story for Steven".

Definitely looking forward to binge watching the episodes in order with him so I'll be more up to speed.

Ahhh I loved all of Rebecca Sugar's episodes on Adventure Time, I always looked forward to them as there was always a little more depth than the others. Even though it was light, the plots were had a certain finesse to them that always made my heart ache (in a good way) which is happening even more with Steven Universe. The Marcy and Simon episodes always got me, the plot was just way too amazing... and then they kind of ruined it once she left.

Back on topic though, am I the only one who really wants them to release a official soundtrack? I love the music in SU and often listen to playlists on youtube, but to have the official quality would be great

I've been wondering this too, I also want to see mash ups between songs that would overlay well together, or like the wailing stone song and the lapis song overlayed into one song

I can see this.
I don't see Pearl and Amethyst as weaker gems than Garnet. They all have their strong points without being a fusion.
Although, I'd LOVE to see Ruby and Sapphire more.

Yup.

There's still plenty of people who are rumphurt over same sex relationships  :pout: and conservative parents will do anything to get this off the air  -_- they tried to do the same thing to Jail Break, so i've heard...

But Rebecca is pretty smart about making gems genderless... I guess that's how Jail Break squeezed through from being put off the air permanently.

From this Stevenbomb or in general? :) Favourite ep in general is "Island Adventure", favourite of this week's.. honestly, I have no idea XD "Keystone Motel" was amazing, but then "Onion Friend" was too (Vidalia!), and tonight's episode "Friend Ship" was another winner.. but then again, I enjoyed seeing Sardonyx in "Cry for Help".. aaaaa, I can't decide. XD

What an AMAZING Steven Bomb!

Spoiler
I can't even pick a favorite episode, they were all so good (though sometimes hard to watch because they wrung out my heart).

Ruby and Sapphire were great, and I'm glad that they didn't go the route of "Sapphire is automatically right because she's the calm one."  She needed to listen to Ruby as much as Ruby needed to listen to her.  Did anyone else notice that Ruby seemed super solid and dense (like sinking right down to the bottom of the pool) compared to floaty Sapphire?  Ruby's facial expression and gesticulations were hilarious too.

I was glad to see Jamie return too.  Anyone else think that the four armed woman who saved William Dewy was the fusion of all the Gems (including Rose), like is shown on the temple?

I love the Steven Bomb! I have to say Keystone Motel was my favorite because I have been WAITING for an episode to learn more about Ruby and Sapphire. Seriously they are so precious...my heart xD And Ruby's "Eternal flame baby" comment sent me into a fit of giggles!

I am still unsure how I feel about Sardonyx. We didn't really see much of her so it's really hard to judge. We mostly just got to see her knock things down and that's about it. Haha I think Pearl really needs to get herself together as I feel she has been causing lots of trouble unintentionally lately by letting her emotions get in the way of things. Her character is quite interesting in that she is extremely logical, yet she can be the polar opposite and let her emotions cloud her better judgement. x3
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Galactica on July 23, 2015, 01:43:54 PM
Keystone was my fav too-  I loved seeing into the emotions of Garnet/Ruby/Sapphire like that-  plus I love Garnet so more Garnet is always a big plus for me :D

It was annoying to hear that the REAL Keystone Hotel got fake complaints by people who had watched the show and thought that would be funny. Real mature guys...
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Bekuno on July 23, 2015, 01:53:24 PM
That was very sad to hear. I hope all those brats understand the consequences of doing that now :/

Anyways, Keystone Motel was my favorite too. I'm just a sucker for Ruby / Sapphire and their relationship. I relate to Ruby and her temper a lot though XD Her facial expressions in that episode were a riot. Hmm, well I think Pearl learned a really important lesson, but I am quite fond of Sardonyx.

Onion friend was interesting. I was surprised it was Vidalia and to learn that she and Amethyst were so close. Plus learning more about Onion was just... interesting.

I got my bf to start watching it and he loves it. He just finished it up last night and I sent him the soundtrack which he's been using to learn the songs and he just finished up a cover of "Be Wherever You Are". I'm glad he understands the pain this show brings me now XD
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: LadyMoondancer on July 23, 2015, 03:00:20 PM
Wow, Elisto, I love the cosplay!  What is Steven's shielf made from?

Keystone Motel was amazing!  It looks like Keystone is the name for Pennsylvania in this universe.  (They're the same shape and Pennsylvania's motto is "the keystone state".)  A keystone is the central stone in an archway that holds all the other stones in place, so it also could be symbolic of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship holding Garnet together.

Pearl seems to be the type of person who puts on a brave face on their problems until they just can't take it anymore and they crack.  The fact that she couldn't "buy" her way to forgiveness by catching Peridot, but rather that she and Garnet had to communicate and come to an understanding of each other, is such a great lesson.

When Pearl and Garnet are stuck in the box-room, Pearl says something like "No matter how much I try to be strong, I'm just a pearl.  I'm useless on my own.  I need someone to tell me what to do."  Looking forward to more revelations on that.

Even though this story arc was focused on Pearl and Garnet, Amethyst was great.  I loved the scene in "Keystone" where Steven, Greg, and Garnet come home and you briefly see Amethyst talking with / comforting Pearl.

I dunno how fond you are about theories but there's one going around thanks to both that quote and Jasper calling Pearl 'defective'. The idea is that Pearls are servant gems back on homeworld which would explain why she cleans, is very knowledgeable about many things, and was not meant for fighting. My boyfriend also believes Pearl shows clear signs of PTSD.
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: LadyMoondancer on July 23, 2015, 09:34:23 PM
I could totally see that.  She certainly does like to clean!

When I first watched "Indirect Kiss" (the ep where Amethyst cracks her gem and they try to heal her in Rose's fountain) there was a scene I found odd at the time, where Pearl was freaking out about the thorns.  At the time I was like ???? but now it makes a little more sense.

That's an interesting theory- but on the other hand she is a great fighter- martial artist style, and her special weapon is a sword that comes right out of her noggin-

I suspect she is just lost without Rose...  but that theory is certainly a possibility.   

I am dying to see where the series goes next- 
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: kellyponyfeathers on July 24, 2015, 11:36:51 PM
Galactica, I think you're right about what you said earlier, that Pearl just wants/needs to be loved.  Still not an excuse for her lapse in judgment, of course.  She definitely has a jealous/needy side that brings out the worst in her.  I wonder if maybe she'll end up with Lapis; I think that could work out well for them both.

Earlier in this thread someone said something about a possible connection between Onion and Vidalia.  As I watched "Onion Friend," I thought, "Huh, looks like that other Arena member was right!"
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?

Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: LadyMoondancer on July 25, 2015, 08:09:28 AM
I think Amethyst constantly feels the weight of her past.  I watched "On the Run" again the other day and Amethyst says she was in the kindergarten for "a while" before Rose found her.  By herself, I guess?

Anyway, she talks about the her time in the kindergarten very fondly, and then Pearl warps in, looking horrified, and tells Steven "I'm so sorry, I never wanted you to see this HORRIBLE PLACE. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaGRSWPoNt0)"  And I think Amethyst has insecurities about what that makes her.  If she comes from a "horrible place" and even loves that horrible place, does that make her a horrible gem?
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Jordan on July 25, 2015, 03:07:09 PM
I really think Amethyst has a weak and lovely personality, but from all her pain she's been hiding it with jokes. like from I think it was "The Test" "you can't control him, and he should be taking advice from me, AND WE DON'T HAVE ROSE TELLING US WHAT TO DO!"

we've seen her caring side a lot more than we know actually

Spoiler
when she formed Opal in giant woman, the one pair of arms that was holding Steven was Amethyst

Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: LadyMoondancer on July 25, 2015, 03:56:25 PM

In "The Return", I think the reason Opal broke apart when Steven came back is that Pearl was horrified to see him but Amethyst was relieved to see him.  Not happy that he was in danger, but happy that she hadn't been abandoned again.

I think it must have been a real blow for Amethyst when Rose gave up her physical form to make Steven, given that Amethyst has been very child-like in all the flashbacks to when Rose was around.

Title: How to get Steven Universe Toys!
Post by: Galactica on August 13, 2015, 04:40:44 PM
So I don't know about you guys- but I am desperate for some Steven Universe figures!  So how do we get them?  Well we can wait for either Cartoon Network to come up with something that potential buyers (like Funko or Hot Topic) MIGHT be interested in -  OR we can contact the "buyers" ourselves so that THEY can seek licenses from CN directly!  Much more effective!

It DOES work-  Companies do actually keep track of customer requests- especially with regard to Pop Culture- which changes constantly.  So one voice won't make a huge difference, but it will definitely be taken into consideration- and when LOTS of voices demand something- they pay attention!  Heck, it's probably (in part) how the bronies got so much. :P 

SO if you are with me, contact Hot Topic through their Facebook page- it is seriously the only place that they actually answer and listen to people-
AND send an email to Funko as well! They are VERY cool. [email protected]

Hot Topic's response to my comment;

Funko's response to my request/suggestion that they get a license for Steven Universe and make some Mystery Minis or POPS since there is NO merch for this popular license right now except t-shirts!  :

I also contacted Cartoon Network- however, they probably get a lot of spam from kids, (unlike Hot Topic and Funko whose primary audience is actually adults or teenagers) - so they did not respond!

Hot Topic usually has a clipboard in their stores where you can request things you want to see or star things if someone else already put it. Whenever I'm in the mall I pop in and add a star since it usually is already on there.

Rari-gem lookin beautiful....as always XD Gemshy looking pretty cool too :3

If the Mane 6 were actual gems, what would there gem names be?

Whoa! Now THAT's a quality crossover.

Speaking of SU, has anybody else seen the super-duper expensive blankets on Cartoon Network's shop?

If they didn't have Garnet, I wouldn't have spent the money. I promise.

When Pearl and Garnet are stuck in the box-room, Pearl says something like "No matter how much I try to be strong, I'm just a pearl.  I'm useless on my own.  I need someone to tell me what to do."  Looking forward to more revelations on that.

I dunno how fond you are about theories but there's one going around thanks to both that quote and Jasper calling Pearl 'defective'. The idea is that Pearls are servant gems back on homeworld which would explain why she cleans, is very knowledgeable about many things, and was not meant for fighting. My boyfriend also believes Pearl shows clear signs of PTSD.

That's an interesting theory- but on the other hand she is a great fighter- martial artist style, and her special weapon is a sword that comes right out of her noggin-

I suspect she is just lost without Rose...  but that theory is certainly a possibility.   

I am dying to see where the series goes next-
Coming back to this because i've been listening non stop "do it for her/him"

As everybody knows this song draws parallels between steven and connie and pearl and rose. There is one line in it that really caught my attention that was kind of drilled home after the "im just a pearl" comment.

" Deep down you know
You weren't built for fighting,
But that doesn't mean
You're not prepared to try."

Pearl may have become such a great fighter because of her dedication to Rose Quartz.

Thanks Skeen! I think they are fabulous as well.  I really was planning to sculpt them myself- but haven't had the time.  Considering how many hours must have gone into them, I thought they were a great deal.  Super sweet artist too.

Speaking of Bismuth (which is amazing stuff). What's up with the bubbled gem in lion's pocket dimension, it's obviously bismuth nothing else has that shape.

I never noticed that- I had to google what you were talking about.   No idea what the deal is though, even after reading some people's ideas.  I am definitely curious about what is going on with Lion and his pocket universe.  It sounds like there are a few more clues in the comics but I don't know if people are reading more into those than they probably should ....

Comments on the last two episodes:

Sadie's Song:

Spoiler
Oh my gosh, I identify with Sadie SO MUCH.  My mom is also a well-meaning person who, when I was a kid, took over projects and forced me onto teams.

Steven's performance was amazing and so perfectly Steveny.  Also, I was very happy to see a focus on Sadie that wasn't about her crush on Lars (if that's even a thing anymore?).

Did anyone else notice that while everyone else was cheering for Steven, Lars was checking his phone?  Lars, don't be that guy.

Catch and Release:

Spoiler
*shrill scream to the heavens*  So much happened in this episode!  How do they pack so much into 11 minutes??

There were so many good and funny moments!  Peridot demanding if this or that was a weapon and trying to flush her way to freedom, the expressions on the Crystal Gems' faces when she runs into the living room, and Amethyst saying "Homegirl knows we're gonna pound her into a green pancake. 

Oh, also Amethyst gleefully dumping Peridot's tech into the sea.  Amethyst had a lot of good moments.

I love episodes that are game-changers without being super predictable, and I could NEVER have predicted Peridot living in Steven's bathroom.  I can't wait to see what happens next.

Also, I'm beginning to wonder if Steven's healing powers only work on living beings.
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Twilight Pink on September 25, 2015, 03:10:42 PM
Nightmare Hospital was creepy as all heck XD
Sadie's Song was meh :/
And Catch and Release was awesome, Peridot is so cute when she's armor-less! I had no idea she wore armor this whole time! But does that mean she's powerless when she's not armored?
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Mori_LeStrange on September 25, 2015, 08:06:41 PM
Catch and Release was a great episode. Seeing Peridot slap fight Steven was so funny. There were a lot of great quotes and expressions this episode. My favorite was Peridot try to escape via the toilet.

I find a lot of her recent behavior cute, but ... :P She's still the same Peridot who tried to kill everyone! Is this what people mean about 'woobifying' a villain?

LOL!! She is pretty adorable!! She seems to be taking on a very Zim-like characteristic, I think?

But I never really went for Invader Zim, so that may be my problem. :lmao:

I took a plunge and decided to try this show again, and got caught up in ...a very short amount of time. I think I liked the episodes after episode 15 a lot better than the ones before, probably because everything started building up (whereas I thought it would follow more of an episodic format that most cartoons do). And then when I was getting excited for all of that buildup I was afraid they were going to pull a Sailor Moon and go back to episodic stuff making you wait for anything too exciting for a long time.

I know... Comparing to Sailor Moon is random. Just two shows I watched around the same time, that's all.  :silly:

I did find the Hospital episode a little off, though:

Spoiler
It's nice that Connie's mom has learned the truth, and has saw that maybe being so strict isn't the best form of parenting... But the whole setup to it was weird for me. Why was Connie's mom so casual with the ...cluster (is that what you call them?) as her patient? You'd think that would have been something completely foreign and scary to her, and not an average patient, as she was treating it.

With that, the storyline just could not feel natural to me at all.

Yeah- I think the first few episodes actually make it hard to get "into" the show- but you realize later that the writers are really just setting the stage and probably have to dive right into character development since each episode is only 11 minutes long...(NO idea how they write such a good show in such small segments)

I agree that the storyline for the hospital and the issue you point to in particular- was not very credible/seemed like a stretch.  I still liked the episode but yeah, you'd think she'd be more freaked out.

THe only episode that I can say that I sincerely didn't like was the Uncle Grandpa one. Came right out of left field and I was not familiar with that cartoon (nor am I even slightly interested in finding out more after that episode- I did not like that guy...)
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: LadyMoondancer on September 28, 2015, 11:39:53 AM
The Uncle Grandpa episode is random and I skip it when I rewatch the show.  Other than that my least favorite episode is Garnet's World because it just seems like it's nothing but anime references.  I don't mind occasional anime references (like Steven's Pikachu-like action figure), but for that episode it felt like that's all there was.

It still had cute moments, though.  Way better than Uncle Grandpa.

"Catch and Release" sold me on Peridot, while before I was like "Eh, she's okay I guess."  (I actually don't like Invader Zim, so even if Peridot was inspired by Zim, she's far enough away from him that I like her, ha ha.  But partly the "gross" aesthetics of the Invader Zim show is what turned me off.)

Rebecca Sugar is a Zim fan- she has never said that Peridot was inspired by Zim, that is just speculation. 

I haven't watched Zim, but I am not always a big fan of gross cartoons.  I liked Ren and Stimpy- but I couldn't watch Rick and Morty, too much barfing.  >_<

Oh and some more spam of sculptures by the same artist I mentioned earlier on- pretty epic I think!

Since it's October and all, are any of you guys planning on dressing up as someone from Steven Universe for Halloween?  I'm thinking of going as Tiger Millionaire.   :good:

I'm going as Lapis . I have almost everything I need. Now I just need to get around to making it.

Have any of you watched this video yet?? (Seizure warning for flashing colors and glitchy effects!) Song is safe and it only uses clips from the show.

I had heard about this video a few times but only watched it today. The beat that kicks in around 2:06 is amazing. This guy did beautiful with the timing and effects. The video actually brought me to tears, I love Lapis so much  :cry:

That episode was amazing, OMG.

Is there one more episode until the show is on hiatus again, or has the hiatus officially started now?

>_> why is it going on hiatus AGAIN?

This Thursday's episode ("Too Far") is the last one before it goes on hiatus :)

As for *why* it's going on hiatus again... who knows. :s CN are weird with scheduling.

I actually haven't read "news" about the fandom, but there are certainly some unappealing "fans" of anything, including ponies as we all know.  I did see a few other Steven Universe themed costumes out on Halloween night and that was cool!

No need to worry, this is only wave 1! I'm sure if these are popular enough, Funko would be willing to give us Ruby, Sapphire, and a bunch of fusions! There's also a chance for mystery minis and stuff too, just gotta be patient. ;)

Ruby and Sapphire were so adorable!  We got to see a pearl who wasn't Pearl!  We got to see Pearl too and she was a maelstrom of destruction!  Like can you imagine what the Homeworld gems, who think of pearls as being weak baubles, think when they see her coming dual-wielding swords??  GARNET WAS AMAZING.  I loved that her design was such a mishmash of confusion at first.  And then jumping off the sky arena!  Wow wow wow.

So one thing I thought was odd about the Garnet fusion in The Answer
Spoiler
It was so upsetting and "disgusting" to the Gems when Garnet fused- and clearly two different Gems - it certainly could not have been the first time since Gem culture is so ancient-

And yet... when Jasper wanted to beat the Gems, she and actually Lapis didn't really hesitate before fusing.

You could say that maybe things evolved since that first Garnet, like maybe in Gem society two different Gems fusing became more okay- but that doesn't make a lot of sense given how old Gem culture is right? Plus Lapis was trapped in the mirror, so wouldn't she at least have been reluctant or think that it was unnatural or disgusting to fuse with Jasper?   Just a thought.

But of course the real answer is that they wrote "The Answer" fairly recently right?
Of course I loved the episodes and can't wait for more :D

Spoiler
I think I can at this point still accept both Jasper's willingness to fuse and the other Homeworld Gems's disgust because Jasper's a warrior who seems more interested in success and what best accomplishes that than taboos, social norms, and etiquette. I don't think she doesn't care about that at all, but it seems believable that she's be willing do something when fighting that's unacceptable to what looked to be fancy aristocratic Gems in Blue Diamond's court. And Lapis was just angry and rejecting everyone at that point, so I can believe she'd stop caring about "acceptable" behavior...she basically fused out of spite after all.

Also, I got the Garnet Funko Pop figure for Christmas and it's awesome! They even made the shades translucent, so you can even see her eyes through it! I'm not really a fan of that series of figures, but I surprisingly do find the SU ones adorable.
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: LadyMoondancer on January 11, 2016, 01:15:16 PM
Spoiler
I think that once the Homeworld gems saw how powerful Garnet was (and possibly other fusions on the rebel side), they quickly got over their disgust enough to weaponize it. Especially since the gems in authority could just tell others to fuse instead of fusing themselves. I think Garnet is much stronger compared to the three-Ruby fusion because she gains the strengths of two different gems.  Rose Quartz took down triple-Ruby pretty easily.

On a completely different topic, someone transcribed Peridot's shipping rant:

For the Funko's you're better of buying at Hot Topic either online or in store. Online seems to only have Steven right now but I've seen them all in stores.

I think I heard from a friend end of Feb? But I don't know where that info came from.

AFAIK there is no confirmed airdate yet, but the earliest it could come back is February, if that makes sense (unless CN changes their schedule at the last minute, I suppose).

I heard from somewhere that it would be a long time before new episodes would air. Hopefully that's wrong.

Was it an impossible amount of time? Because people make errors/jokes like that a lot.

I saw a post that said the next episode is in 83 years lol. Of course that's not the case but I mean a lot of people like those jokes I guess.

Nope, it was a post that said something like "Enjoy these new episodes of Steven Universe, because it's going to be a long time before you see anymore".

I started playing the app game "Attack the Light", and I highly recommend it to anyone who's a SU fan!  It's $3 or $4.  Very cute and surprisingly true to the show in terms of dialogue and items.  (For example, you can use Cookie Cats to heal, Rose's Tear will revive a poofed gem, etc.)

Oh yeah, I liked it too :D

Only problem was that it was a pretty "short" game- in that you can beat it pretty fast.  But fun!

I'll have to look into that app! Especially now that I've sorta hit a standstill in the Rick & Morty game I've been playing on my phone. :lol:

My husband found a Steven Pop! figure at Hot Topic the other day, so now I'm only missing Pearl! Here he is pictured with one of my new hairbows- a Steven bow, of course!

I feel like these definitely sold well enough during the pre-release for Funko to do another wave. I don't know about you guys, but I had a really hard time tracking them down after a while. I'm assuming that means people bought them up!

Yeah- they are really popular!  I notice they sometimes are back in stock on Cartoonetwork (I get an email notifying me) and they sell out again INSTANTLY   I guess HT has them too, I've only ever seen Steven online which tells me the others are selling too well or there isn't enough stock to put them up.

I really really hope they make a second wave!  I think I recall reading some very encouraging rumors...

I am not caught up at all! My boyfriend and I just rewatched season 1 on Hulu (he's now a HUGE fan), so I feel bad watching any of the new episodes without him, lol.

In other news: My boyfriend hunted down the LAST "I am made of love and it's stronger than you" tshirt in my size (2X) in eastern PA and we drove over an hour (both ways) to get it. I also picked up their last Garnet Funko POP figure. :D I plan on getting the rest!

Those cosplay gloves would have been VERY helpful when I was constructing my Garnet costume this year- hah


So apparently the figures are Mystery Minis!  More pictures and some box art here-

Those won't be keychains, those are mystery minis, so they'll be blind boxed. Usually Funko keychains are based on the Pop! figures. :) I might buy an entire box, depending. Hopefully they don't make a super rare chase figure or anything.

So the plush are pretty cute and I LOVE Lion-  but are these the $17.99 - $22.99 "small" plushes that Toywiz has listed? http://database.toywiz.com/index.php

I bet they are.  If so, well... they are a little pricey I'm afraid.

I wish I could see that plush lion's face- if it was really cute I might still consider ordering him but if it looks weird... hmmm

Yeah- they mark up stuff, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.  But I was just looking on Cartoon Network and it appears that a fairly normal price for their plush is about $19...

Wow you look great! Nice job with the eye- that looks amazing!!!!!!

I have a pretty awesome Garnet costume too- even though I probably am too old, fat and white to be playing Garnet- (I should have played Rose but of course you can't have a SU crowd without Garnet right?) I also got a couple friends to be Pearl and Amethyst too (with a little duress) it was fun :D 

Here are some terrible photos of us from that night-  lesson learned- take photos in the DAY !

OMG you could SO pull off Jenny-  that's great your husband said he'd be sour cream- I love group costumes so I always try to get my friends to do a team costume on Halloween at least :D

Yeah- my top is a dress- I don't really have the "build" to pull off a body suit costume :D  my wife was so happy to be Amethyst-  most comfy costume EVAH

I was SO in awe of this lady's costume (best cosplay ever) and also she is SUUUUPer nice and friendly-  she looks absolutely amazing but it made me feel better to learn that she had been a professional cheerleader-  you can't be in your late 30s/early 40s and look like that by sittin on your ass I think...

Since it comes on at 7, I'll be watching it on TV for once.

If you don't have CN you can stream through http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/livetv/index.html?atclk_vp=ftr_livetv  (there are other streams if you search around)

AFTER it has already played (usually when I can finally see it) you can download it on DailyMotion https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3lg6vc_s02e26_fun

AFTER it has already played (usually when I can finally see it) you can download it on DailyMotion https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3lg6vc_s02e26_fun

Today's the day!

well dang, I don't have any TV providers so I can't stream on cartoon network :(

And I'm a bit confused about shards - so they're not sentient alone, but grouped together, they gain a kind of semi-sentience? We've never seen shards capable of talking before.

meaning they might have to

destroy it anyway, which would be heartbreaking since we've seen that there was another way

That's the theory I'm going with too Mrbrightsky!

Spoiler
To be honest I'm not a big Jasper fan so I'm not too concerned about her fate but it would be pretty lame for her part of the show to end just like that. I'm sure she'll be back and kicking butt later. I kinda still hope something crazy will happen with the cluster because even though I like how Steven handled it I was hoping for some more action or violence or some giant crazy cluster monster to form.

Also what's the schedule for new episodes if anyone knows? One new one a week? Multiple new ones a week?

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on May 13, 2016, 03:53:07 PM
That's actually the exact theory my husband came up with after the episode ended! So I'm going with that one too.

I think it's one episode a week? Hopefully it'll still be Thursdays at 7. I'm not entirely sure, though.

One ep a week (every Thursday at 7 pm) for the next three weeks :) Not sure what'll happen after that, but they're still set for the "Summer of Steven" event they announced a while ago, so presumably if there's a hiatus after this 4-week event it won't be too long. If that makes sense!

A little disappointed.

I actually enjoyed them a lot - the beginning episodes of Steven Universe could have been classified as "filler" also, because they don't necessarily move the plot forward, but they offer further insight into the characters and their interactions. :) (I also couldn't handle that cliffhanger at the end, so I spoiled myself and watched the next leaked episode, oops!!)

Spoilery talk here -
Spoiler
I'm not sure how I felt about the casting of Lapis Lazuli as "unfair" for not immediately forgiving her former captor and embracing her in intense friendship. Um, she WAS kidnapped, interrogated and transported against her will on this person's commands, remember??? Why is Steven (thus, the writers) glossing this over...??? I mean, Steven IS a kid, I just got the feeling that the writers are using Steven as their mouthpiece to illustrate that Lapis is in the wrong for not being "forgiving" enough... But then, I'm still not 100% sold on Peridot, so I'm not unbiased. ;) She's hilarious, but also a little annoying, IMO, since I never really cared much for Invader Zim!

I just hope that the fact that they sort of let it "drop" at the end, without demanding a clear "I forgive you" from Lapis, means that Steven is going to chill for a bit on this particular unfair line of questioning. Obviously, Steven is a character with flaws and strengths, I just worry that the writers are trying to show that Lapis is in the wrong for something that she shouldn't be?
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Bekuno on May 27, 2016, 05:50:15 PM
Steven Universe does have quite a bit of filler throughout but they tend to be pretty entertaining and still introduce new concepts (like in Steven Floats) and sometimes give information in a more subtle way.

Spoilers below if you haven't watched the leaks!

Spoiler
I agree Snapdragon, Lapis went through a lot. She comes off cold and aloof for a reason, not only towards Peridot but also the crystal gems for what happened during the war. I love that Steven wants everyone to be friends and unite but things don't happen this quick (and they shouldn't, I don't want this being like FIM). I'm putting trust in the writers because they do so good on this show but I understand your fears.

On a less serious topic, I LOVE RUBY AND SAPPHIRE SO MUCHHHH  :wail: Gosh they're just so cute and they love each other so much. Seeing them interact together is one of my favorite parts of the entire series. I really loved that entire episode with the baseball game and all the different ruby's! That's one of my favorites now. Also, the human names XD Lapis is just "Bob"  :haha:
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: otocolobus_manul on May 28, 2016, 09:40:13 PM
Yikes, I didn't like Lapis to begin with, and with every new appearance I like her less and less. We, the audience, knows that Peridot is reformed, but Lapis doesn't, and it's frustrating to see her refuse (as always) to accept the truth she doesn't want to hear. I hope she comes around eventually.

But more Rubies, yay! And our Ruby and Sapphire are adorable together, as always.

Oh thank goodness it's not just me XD I don't dislike Lapis, exactly, but I don't like her nearly as much as half the fandom seems to, either.. she's too much of a martyr for my tastes, lol. I hope we get to see a more likeable side of her soon, too.

hey, does anyone know if Rebecca Sugar is doing any con appearances like how she was at san diego and new york from previous years ?? My oldest did her sculpture project and so

now I wanted to see if we could mail it to her (well cartoon network or some other handler) and so I started searching for any 2016 appearances ... anyone here know of any upcoming??


edited to add - it's a pencil holder (put them across the mouth - mostly decorative). And yes the base is a MLP surprise that was wrapped in that plaster stuff as an attempt to become a mummy pony and well = now it's just permanently entombed (halloween came early for that bait).

heya anybody at awesomecon this weekend?  Saw some gem groups cosplaying :-)  heck this con has characters from all over the multi-verse so there were plenty of bronies trotting about (trying out their cosplay before the "mane" event next month I wager) as well.   

I'm the one with big ears (super mom hearing... working on better listening skills) and a gaggle of future artists around me (waves) very glad my back is holding up for this walk-about

oh and to further the discussion about lapis not jumping in to forgiving peridot... I absolutely am fine for them to give her time to process a bit and not just jump into "OK earth is my home"... her backstory IMO falls into the tragic = she's stepped on during the evacuation and then put into that mirror and I'm still not clear if the crystal gems knew she was in there?  Didn't seem like they did - but the point is that Lapis in her headspace is still blaming them for treating her as an object and not rescuing her

there's an interesting reddit thread on this backstory

https://m.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/4l21la/lapis_lazuli_timeline_analysis/

that I'll just add

I am fine for the show to keep the "iceberg effect" going (as I call it)  the kids just like to laugh at the silliness of things like the watermelon steven tribe and I like how there's a lot more depth in all of the interacting and relationships = good chat times with the family

Post by: Flickerswift on June 05, 2016, 08:00:51 AM

Personally, I'm glad Lapis doesn't forgive Peridot. Peridot may have changed, but she still doesn't understand WHY what she did was wrong. Lapis shouldn't have to forgive her abuser. Also, Peridot is still lacks empathy and is self absorbed. Liking Steven doesn't suddenly make her a good person. I wish... I wish they gave Steven more intelligence. His LOL IDK OPTIMISM personality is starting to grate on me as the show delves into deeper and more complex themes his character is not equipped to comprehend...
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?

I'm really confused as to why "Steven Floats" didn't air here. It was in the French leak lineup after all?  Did they decide that more people watched it when it leaked online so just didn't bother? Huh.

Anyway, dog tags! I'm only 6 away from acquiring more. Excited to see how I can display them, I was considering taping the chains to a shelf of some sort and letting them dangle down.

The episodes are not "leaked" - they aired on Cartoon Network in France. France just got the episodes before the US for whatever reason.

My bad. Like I said, I didn't know anything about the episode, so I just assumed it was leaked. Had no idea that France aired episodes way before we do...which is weird. I wonder why?

Oooooh, but that does explain why when my husband and I watched 'Hit the Diamond', the opening was the old one and the little logo at the bottom was in French. We had watched it early because we weren't going to be home on Thursday-Saturday. Which brings up another question: France doesn't use the newer opening? Because when the episode started I was like "Did we click a link for a season one episode instead?"

I was wondering about this, too! (I watched the "leak", for lack of a better word, of "Steven Floats" the other day.. generally I wait for them to air in the US first but we don't have an airdate for this one yet and it was getting hard to avoid spoilers, lol) How weird.

As for why they aired early, I'm guessing it's probably at least in part due to CN US holding onto the eps for so long, maybe it threw CN France's "schedule" off or something, if that makes sense.. CN US don't seem to really keep in touch with their overseas counterparts, they've done this with other shows too. (I.e. last year they pulled some Adventure Time premieres at the last minute and put it on hiatus for a couple of months, and the eps ended up airing first in Australia) I could be wrong, of course.

Steven Universe is a US-created cartoon, but since the gal who created it (Rebecca Sugar) was influenced by the anime she watched growing up, there are a lot of anime-ish references and influences. (You could argue that the Crystal Gems, as a group, are all magical girl types? Especially Steven himself! XD) So if you like anime, you might like Steven Universe! It's a lot more like Sailor Moon than Spongebob Squarepants, but that's just my take on it.

I've really enjoyed the Summer of Steven so far!! I love that we got to see some older characters come back!! :heart: Liiiiiike ...

The oonl minis I've picked up have been the small blind bags at Target. They have tiny stands for the figures and they're adorable! I've gotten Steven, Connie, Pearl, and Garnet so far. I hope they make others because the price is better than the Funko ones- even if I really want Greg, Lion, and Rose from that set. :lol:

Episodes like the most recent one are why I will forever suggest Steven Universe to anyone who thinks American made cartoons are garbage. This show evokes feelings within me that I don't typically get with other cartoons, and the music...oh the music! :blush: I'm so glad that most of my friends watch it, this summer of new episodes has given us a LOT to talk about, haha.

I believe there is some kind of Jasper mini coming out, can't remember what line / series though. I'm also not a big fan of her, I don't see what everyone loves about her so much..

The Pint Sized Heroes line from Funko. :) They should be out sometime this year, and I actually kinda like their weird look.

The oonl minis I've picked up have been the small blind bags at Target. They have tiny stands for the figures and they're adorable! I've gotten Steven, Connie, Pearl, and Garnet so far. I hope they make others because the price is better than the Funko ones- even if I really want Greg, Lion, and Rose from that set. :lol:

Episodes like the most recent one are why I will forever suggest Steven Universe to anyone who thinks American made cartoons are garbage. This show evokes feelings within me that I don't typically get with other cartoons, and the music...oh the music! :blush: I'm so glad that most of my friends watch it, this summer of new episodes has given us a LOT to talk about, haha. I'm also glad my husband loves it as much as I do. We have some pretty in depth discussions about it and I love that.

OMG THOSE ARE SO CUTE!!!!  I Finally got my notice from Toywiz my mystery minis are shipping- and managed to pick up the gamestop exclusives too-  now there are more ??? 

I haven't seen the newest episode yet- this weekend hopefully!  I've been rewatching a bunch of episodes that are now on hulu that I originally saw on one of the streaming sites.  So nice to see the episodes all huge and with no transmission errors, haha  - I sure wish they'd keep up with the series though.

Omg... This newest episode of SU... I bawled like a huge baby.
Eh, I admit to me it was kinda boring :s I couldn't pay attention to it at all :c

oh thank god it's not just me XD Everywhere I go people are going on about how great an episode it was and honestly I thought it was one of the weaker ones.. ^^; I couldn't get into it. Hopefully next week's ep'll be more interesting.

I was on the verge of tears. It was a really touching episode, and I loved the song.

Wow  finally saw the episode where Garnet teaches the kids how to handle out of control thoughts/meditation. WOW! It amazes me they were tackling such adult ideas/issues- I was very impressed and and moved.  Also, loved the song!!!!!

The last few episodes were great IMO :)
I think it's pretty obvious that Pearl's not over Rose though :o and dang...I can't find a decent priced SU funko mini on ebay....all I really want is Peridot, Rose, Lapis and Lion in that order! Am I better off just hoarding the minis from Hot Topic until I get em? Or just cave in on ebay?

if there are enough people we can swap?

So here are the Funko Mystery Minis that I have below-  I also have Steven with the Big Donuts t-shirt (exclusive)

I thought I had an extra lion- but one of them is glow in the dark (exclusive)
I don't have Peridot who I really want- or Steven's father, who I kinda want, or Onion (who I don't actually want)

Yay I got Peridot!!!!!  Turns out I had her all along just didn't see that last little box there!!!  WHAT a relief it was Peridot and not Onion, lol!  So now I just need Greg-  if anyone gets an extra ?

I think these are so cute-  there is another company making minis too- I like those as well but it would be crazy to collect them all.  Unless they have other characters I don't have... hmmm

I can't wait for another episode!!!!!

Does anyone have an extra regular lion? He's the last one I need to get to finish my set. I do have several doubles of Garnet (gauntlets and no gauntlets), Pearl (spear and no spear), Steven (I think shield, HT exclusive have to check), and Lapis (HT exclusive and reg) which I can snap a picture of on Sunday when I get back from vacation. Might have a regular Amethyst too somewhere.  Between the Gamestop, Hot Topic, and Regluar edition cases its tricky to track down the exclusives.  >_<

GameStop, really? Wow. That's a first!

Yeah they had three exclusives for gamestop!  Steven wearing a Big Donut t-shirt- Rose wearing a Mr. Universe t-shirt (see picture above) and glow in the dark Lion.

Hot Topic exclusives were GITD Lapis GITD Onion and GITD Steven

The weird thing is that if you buy the figures at Hot Topic or Gamestop- THOSE assortments do not have Connie, Amethyst Steven or regular (non-glowing) Lion.

So if you really wanted all of them, you'd have to go to three different places!  I don't really need GITD Lapis- I think the "regular" one with clear wings is WAY cooler...

Surprisingly, Greg Onion and Peridot are packed 1/36, so if you buy a "regular" case you will only likely get one of the three...  (SO glad I got Peridot)
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: nemubones on September 15, 2016, 07:35:39 PM
There was a HT GITD Onion figure??  I thought it was the Amethyst with her weapon that was the third.  So much digging through the cases at Hot  Topic to get the chases.  :P Sorry for the confusion I  need the non GITD version of Lion that came in the regular release cases.

I got super lucky when I bought my one box from Hot Topic, I REALLY liked how the 'exclusive' Amethyst looked with her whips and :3 face, but I figured I would have to accept whoever I got - and I got Amethyst!! My fave! :cheer:

Pearl trying to move forward from her infatuation with Rose was a big step for her. Died laughing when she didn't know what the number the girl wrote on her hand was for.  :lol: Love how this show has such positive messages that are directed to young and old alike.

I loved that episode too, it was pretty brave of the studio to produce it. I'm worried that other countries won't air it though.

I can totally relate to Pearl, I'm super gay for mystery girl too  :lol:
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Strawberry Swirl on September 28, 2016, 08:23:44 AM
If we're being honest, here...

Spoiler
Sheena ("mystery girl") was SO pretty! I really wanna see more of her, hopefully the little "introducing..." bit at the end hints at just that. Pearl's "human" outfit also, I already loved her before but goodness I didn't think she could get cuter. Also the bit where she can't open the can of apple juice...or figure out how to take off her pants?

I'm in love with Pearl.

Also also loving that they're showing another healthy lesbian relationship in a positive light. That sort of thing really is a big deal and I know it would've helped me feel more comfortable being gay if I saw it as a kid.

I doubt it.. CN doesn't usually show premieres on Thanksgiving (presumably because, as it's a holiday, people would be less likely to watch it and thus the ratings would be low). Where did you hear that?

Reviving this thread!

I assume I'm not the only one here who's been keeping up with SU? My husband and I watched the newest episode from last week last night... poor Steven. He has it so rough. :cry:

Spoiler
I absolutely love that he got all his frustration, confusion and anger out by confronting Rose (even if it wasn't really her). I think he needed to do that for his own sake. It must suck to grow up never knowing the kind of person- er...gem, your mother was, but to only have pieces of her personality to put together according to those who interacted with her. If it weren't for Bismuth or the Diamonds, Steven would only ever hear the nice things about Rose.

On a lighter note, I got a laugh out of him saying that he's considered dying his hair pink on more than one occasion.
Title: Re: Steven Universe anyone?
Post by: Bekuno on February 23, 2017, 08:41:21 AM
Thank you for reviving it!!

I've been keeping up too, and watching leaks and such. That episode killed me Renia, it was so sad but it was a really important development for Steven!

I'm also glad to see Connie back, I missed her  :)

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on February 23, 2017, 08:43:58 AM
Connie is great. I love her! The words she came up with for that Mad Libs type game they were playing... :lol:

Thats exactly that I told my partner. Its so fluid and for only being a 10 min episode there is so much story and emotions. It never feels rushed and always leaves you wanting more and yet feeling satisfied. Like you want more because you love it, not you want more because its lacking.

I really love this show.

I love the mystery mini figures- they are so cute!  I bought the entire box to save a bit (and so I wouldn't be chasing so much).

I think SOME individuals are expensive because there is more demand for some characters than others- and of course because there are more Steven, Amethyst, Pearl, Garnet figures in every assortment (2 poses) while all the other characters are just one per box- and then Greg, Peridot and Onion you will only get one of the three in a box (thank god I got Peridot).

You can get REALLY cheap Steven, Amethyst, Pearl, Garnets on ebay- even cheaper when you get them in a set.

Peridot is expensive on the secondary market because there is only 1 in 3 chances of getting her- even if you get the entire box (same for Greg and Onion- but they are not nearly as cute or popular)most expensive, since only 1 in 3 chances of getting her even if you buy the entire box. 

Greg and Onion probably should be expensive too due to rarity- and Lapis shouldn't be so expensive (since there are 2 versions thanks to hot topic)- but Lapis is wicked popular and Onion and Greg are not nearly as popular.  So that's probably why.  Everyone else falls somewhere in between.

Aww- no new episode. 

I bet the Rose Quartz gems will be freed at some point- but will they be full of empathy like Rose? 

Wasn't Rose an outlier rebel, much like Ruby and Saphire and Pearl?  I got the idea they were all (except Amethyst) rebels somewhat unique to their kind (from the Zoo episode- it seems like Amethyst's personality is actually pretty typical of her type)

It will be interesting to see what unfolds-  I wish there were more regular episodes- it's hard to keep track of the storyline and new episodes when they are so sporadic and infrequent..

I loved the special! In particular, how Steven's character development is consistent... He's grown so much over the course of the series (albeit, not physically, lol! Poor Steven!). I loved seeing the

new gems
, too!

And yeah...

Yellow Diamond is suddenly seeming very suspicious. The first time I heard "What's the Use of Feeling Blue", I though her tone for lines like "Yes, of course we still love her..." sounded rather... insincere.

Yeah. It's sorta did. Wait. Plot twist: it was all white diamonds doing because white diamond got mad after loosing a game of gem kart with pink diamond. It's like Mario kart, but gems.

Overall, these are my thoughts on the episode.
Spoiler
can I just say the new off colour gems are so awesome. One of them is a caterpillar for gems sake! And the little orange Sapphire was just too cute! I love how she sees stuff after it happens. She sounds so happy when she predicts the events that already happened. And rhodonite and the rutile weee so cute as well. We have another cotton candy fusion and some Siamese twins. That Lars now lives with. The poor dude just sacrificed himself to a life on homeworld for steven! Now who am I supposed to ship Sadie with?! Do gems have Skype? Please tell me they can have a long distance relationship! We got to see more of yellow and blue diamond, and see that homeworld does have a trial system. They do have some democracy, albeit a very odd one.

aaaaa the new eps were so good!!

Spoiler
I couldn't believe what happened to Lars!! He's my favourite human so I was freaking out when it looked like they'd killed him off for real XD I like his new look but aaaa I hope they bring him back soon ;o; I wonder if non-gems can go into Lion's mane.. if they could, maybe Sadie and the others could visit him, at least..

The off-colours were so cool! I like the Rutile twins :D And I loove the lawyer Zircon, she was adorable. Hope we see her again sometime.

I was watching it with my friend and she suggested maybe Lars can teleport like Lion can? That would be interesting! I'm intrigued to see how they'll bring him back, anyway.

And aaaaaa more twists in the "Pink Diamond was shattered" plot!!! Personally, I don't think Yellow did it, it seems too obvious.. I'm wondering about Blue, it'd be a heck of a plot twist if it was her. Could be White too, since we know nothing about her. aaaaaaa I'm so excited though!! I wonder when the next eps'll come out.

I was wondering if Yellow Diamond was a red herring, as well. It does seem too obvious... like that's what they WANT US to think. X3 I had considered Blue as a culprit also... Maybe, for whatever reason, she felt like she "HAD" to shatter Pink Diamond, and genuinely is mourning her? She would be justifying her actions as having been "for the greater good", but would still be horrified at what she had done... or something. That would be a more interesting route for things to go!

That said, Yellow has the clear motive... It's been strongly emphasized that she wants everything to "have a use":
"An army has a use; they can go and fight a war!
A Sapphire has a use; she can tell you what it's for!"

...Even to the point of questioning the purpose of emotion itself:
"Why keep up her silly zoo? Oh tell me... what's the use of feeling, Blue?"

In that same scene, Yellow criticizes Blue for sentimentally hanging on to the bubbled Rose Quartzes because "...they were hers". Pink Diamond had a penchant for "unecessary" things, like the aforementioned human "zoo". Maybe Yellow felt that Pink's frivolities were damaging their mission, and decided they'd be more efficient without her?

Ooooh, you do bring up some good points, especially regarding Blue. I could totally see that being the case (her feeling like she 'had' to shatter Pink but still being genuinely remorseful about it). Honestly I could see it going either way at this point (that is, I could see it being any of the Diamonds that did it, if that makes sense), it'll be very interesting to see what did happen :o

Spoilers from the newly aired episodes!
Spoiler
I'm going to admit I'd been a little disappointed with the last episodes of the fourth season. Especially Lion 4: Alternate Ending, which I had been expecting to dump some Lion lore. So imagine my mirth when we were finally found out exactly what Lion is in the latest episode.

The Wanted event gave us so much to think about. I mean I never thought we'd be questioning if Rose actually shattered Pink Diamond or if one of the Diamonds themselves was in on it. Not to mention we got to see Yellow Diamond use her zappy fingers, met cool new gems like Zircon and the off colors, and saw Lars die and be resurrected! Such a roller coaster. I love this show.

I thought Lion 4 was a bit disappointing, too. Dunno how to describe it exactly, but it just sort of dragged, imo? Like, it went on longer than it really needed to, if that makes sense. Not sure how to word it.

I used to love it, but the scheduling is so tedious. Along with dead plot threads, characters getting sidelined and changed on a whim, and one-shot celeb cameo characters telegraphing they will never return because they are too expensive - it just sucked out the fun for me.

Still love the art and designs a lot. I recently got the artbook.
And I'll keep watching because I want to know how it all ends. But yeah, my rose-colored glasses are off :P Badum-tss!

I'd slightly change my mind if Jasper would return. I was so interested in her and all those Gem relationships, but they are keeping too many things secret for too long.
I would recommend binging each season because the flow of this show is whack.

God yes, CN's scheduling is atrocious. It seems that if a show isn't TTG, you have to wait months for eps (don't even get me started on the stupid bomb format they seem to have settled on).

I was a bit disappointed by the artbook - it felt a bit lacking/insubstantial, if that makes sense? It felt like a lot of it was just stuff we'd seen before on the internet and such. I am glad I got it, it did have some interesting stuff in there (especially all the stuff about the pilot and the early designs! I love that sort of stuff) but I don't think I'd get it again, if that.. makes sense. XD

I've been getting a bit burned out on SU too, though. The last batch of eps - the Lars/off-colour ones - were good so hopefully it's picking up again.. the eps before that were VERY hit or miss imo ^^; And I def. agree with you on the celeb cameo thing - Opal's one of my favourite fusions, but it doesn't look like she's coming back anytime soon... :/ Celebrity cameos are fine if the character is either intended to be a one-off or one that rarely appears (I'm not sure how to word it - I'm thinking like how in Adventure Time for example, a lot of the Fionna and Cake characters have guest star VAs - but those characters only show up once a season, if that, so it's not as much of a problem if they can't get them back. If that makes sense?), but for the fusions.. -sigh- I don't know, I liked Aimee Mann and Nicki Minaj's performances but since they clearly can't get any of them back, I sort of wish they'd picked less high-profile VAs for Opal and Sugilite? It really feels like they should've shown up again by now (and actually done something, I mean - I'm not counting the two-second non-speaking cameos they had in a few eps).

....also the inconsistent proportions/heights/etc on everyone are kind of grating. :P I know it's always been a thing, but it wasn't always this bad. Peridot gets hit by this particularly badly, I've noticed.

But I do like it still. :B And Zapper, I liked your post, it's really nice to see a fair criticism of the show without it being a full-on attack on it. If that makes sense, heh.

I agree not all of the episodes are mind blowing, but I think that's been true since the start... I think in general there is a lot of humor, great issues, and really good writing that is sometimes brilliant-  pretty hard to keep that in every single episode.

But yeah the flow of the show is really rough- three episodes and then months and months of nothing-  and then another bomb...  I do tend to start from the beginning after a long absence to give me a better feel/flow (and because a lot of the episodes are good enough to watch multiple times in my opinion)

As for the guest stars, you guys raise some points but on the other hand, I've heard from stars at Comic Con that they really like to do guest cartoon voice acting- because it is easy, fun, and they can show up in their sweats and read the lines...  so I wouldn't rule out seeing Sugilite or Opal again- and we wouldn't want them super often anyway as I like the idea of the characters forming only for really extreme reasons...
