Rainbow Quartz 2.0 would like to speak with you.

Artizap is that not still technically Steven?

Rugal Bernstein He’s so gay he managed to make pearl even gayer

Rugal Bernstein No, it’s a fusion. Fusions aren’t the same as the characters they are made up of

Green Moon what ??? They are still there characters. They retain there mental state inside the fusion. That’s like saying if I put a slice of turkey in between some bread it isn’t turkey anymore.

He isn’t friends with the diamonds tho

Lol ouch

rhonda howard blue diamond didn’t know they needed to eat. Your comment doesn’t make sense

Yeah. I was really disappointed when they said that. Being asexual doesn’t mean you’re incapable of love or a close relationship, I don’t know what they were going for. If there is one thing they need to be clear about- it’s fusion. They can’t seem to make up their minds whether its sex or a relationship

This reminds me of recently, one of the storyboard artists "confirmed" in a tweet (outside of the show) that Peridot was supposed to be ace/aro this whole time because she never fused. So people within the fandom say that Peridot is "asexual because she didn't fuse." So when people say, "Does that mean Steven had sex with his dad?" They freak out and start to explain how it isn't actually sex? Its ridiculous.

@@mahliwowe they always go back on previous points to poorly defend the show

@@mahliwowe I never got that myself. "Well, fusion is sex in certain situations but isn't sex in other situations." I don't think it works that way.

@@kazmakazii I just hate how the creators think "good storytelling" is explaining something one way in the show, and then it not blowing over well and then changing it outside of it. They are always like "well no you just misinterpreted"

@@lupinsredjacket3191 I don't get that either. Its kind of like how the Diamonds were written as genocidal and then recently ian jq tweeted that they really weren't all along. To think, I actually liked this show at one point.

True, I don't think that saying kids shows shouldn't be mature or complex just cause kids are stupid and aren't gonna get it. Cartoon networks demographic is actually pretty broad. Sure kids that are like 6 aren't gonna get it and they might just watch for bright colors and comedy. But the child fandom of SU actually consists of kids 9-12. And adults and teens watch the show too. Sure the writers could handle the themes better but it's kinda shity to just say that the show is for babies and toddlers and putting mature themes and lessons into a show at all is brainwashing kids. My point is that each age group and individual is gonna get something different they enjoy out of it and gatekeeping it isn't gonna help anyone. Kids might come back to watch it when their older and early like the mature emotional stuff. I'm doing that for adventure time right now since I was like 5 when it aired.

I like their normalization of lesbian / gay. "Cartoons shouldn't have adult themes" is pure insanity. When i was a kid in the 70s/80s watching Starblazers, it was about planet-destroying, nuclear genocide. Some people are, "cartoons shouldn't be sexualized". Well, Starblazers again, the main character clearly had a love relationship (hetero, but still) with the main chick in it. I mean, a kid can watch their parents hug and kiss a million times a day anyway. Some of the "adult" themes hit in Steven Universe usually end up with the characters raging, crying and clearly having PAIN... which is an accurate depiction and not a bad message. AND... and... the showrunners did it within their OWN franchise, not by overtaking a one that existed already. (Marvel, DC, Disney itself... destroying franchise after franchise with character-mutating politics...)

What writers? It's just Sugar, and we see how that turned out

JinzoCrash Well, the normalization of homosexual relationships is something that isn't accepted by everyone, for hundreds of different reasons. The question that remains is "Should cartoons be used as a political tool, even if indirectly?"

@@okinawadreaming If you see gay relationships as nothing but 'political', you aren't mature enough to be analysing writing, sorry. It's just a relationship, like any straight relationship in a cartoon, nothing political about it. And if some people get offended by the normalisation of homosexual relationship, well that's just tough shit, sometimes you have to just grow up and accept the real world, and that's not aimed at you, it's aimed at the people who don't like the normalisation of homosexual relationships.

@@ValenArtsAnimation he did tell them and they freaked out and tried to talk to him about it

@@Jdudec367 Plot armor is mostly when some deus ex machina happens and saves him, basically when he gets some new ability at the last second or someone appears and saves him. This is done so often that with a simple conbo of shield ball + heal spit, he's basically invincible. Freedom of consequences is basically a side effect of the above, if someone dies, he can rez them (Lars). If he's about get hit with a deadly attack, he can shield it (Most fights, especially when he's alone). If a gem gets poofed, he can fuse with them and rez them (When he falls down the hole in the finale). If he breaks something important, the plot bends to his will and makes the mistake no longer matter (When he forgot a specific talisman that was needed to save a temple, it was revealed to just be a test). Basically, if he makes a mistake that has bad consequences, he can either undo, nullify it, or it didn't matter anyway.

Blobbert Mcblob Yeah. Kind of defeats the purpose of having an alien species that was not familiar to the human kind. Suddenly, now they are more emotional than your average person.

I also really like how after that, people try to defend the show by saying it’s a children movie. It’s like making a children’s movie out of journeys of SS deserter in Russia... Wait, that’s what they did.

@@Probablylani Gems are regarded as if they are extremely computer based. They function almost similar to AI, honestly. Introducing humanity to AI is what this series is most akin to. To an extent, it's like a computer getting to replicate emotion reasonably and kind of dialing it up a bit too much. And it doesn't help that they must emulate Steven who is ESPECIALLY emotional.

Animation when?

I liked Steven at first now they ruined him.

The fact that your not wrong tho

This brings flashbacks to "What what in a Robot."

@@helium-379 don't

Some questions cant be answered

I think her design is awesome. It really makes her stand out from the rest, especially the way she's animated. She moves all flexibly and cartoony, and I love it. Say what you want about Spinel, but in the movie, she was really well-written.

pingus 19 ok, so imagine your daughter dies. And then 14 years later you discover she’s actually alive. And you try desperately to set everything back to how it was before the tragedy, because you see your role as keeping up appearances and holding everything together, and making everything right. So you hold up this incredibly fragile facade that everything is ok, and can just go back to the way it was before. That’s white diamond’s perspective. It isn’t just Steven making a one off joke that shatters her composure, it’s years of grief hidden behind a mask. The thing that turns blue and yellow, (and white too to some extent tho this isn’t really shown until future) is being woken up to the fact that it was THEIR actions and abuse that pushed pink away and caused them to lose her, and now they were doing it again. For white, the final straw is realizing that she’s wrong, that she isn’t making everything better, that pink is really gone, when she pulls out Steven’s gem. THAT’S what broke her. At that point she was just groveling and spiraling from this realization, she was going to lose her composure no matter what, the sick burn on steven’s part was just a nice touch that really pushed her over the edge. Was the ending rushed? Yes, absolutely. But that was because of limitations put on the crewniverse. Rebecca had to fight HARD just to get a handful more episodes to finish off the season, and at the time they didn’t think the show would be continuing at all. They did what they could within the limitations they had, and ultimately I think the finale said everything it needed to say.

I think the ending was pretty rushed but the future one it was good a build up for the last 2 episodes i mean they could barely make the last season but you expect them to make one for defeating steven

"speech no jutsu" is becoming a major cartoon trope lately

Epilogue

@@itarfer it's still a shit way of handling it and really unrealistic. Steven universe was good and then season 4 happened and it became shit

Undertale especially

MicTheAutisticOni ah! Don’t forget Eddsworld!

And Halo

Undertale was a great indie game. Tumblr which flocked to it has to be gassed though.

The halo fandom isn't anywhere near as cancerous. Tumblr and edgy 13 year old fangirls, the main 2 reason fandoms become complete and utter sewage, tend to not really play fps games.

Thats the most tame drama. I've seen weird shit unfold on tumblr like how pearl is a racist or something and ready to attack the staff.

A community should never try to live something that bad down. Recognize it. Recognize the toxicity of the fan base, and purge it. Instead they ignored it and defended the toxicity with worse toxicity. Just to clarify this, I despise the show for the writing and poor production, not the fan base. The fan base I despise the radical parts.

All Fandoms are human cancer, for example the rick and morty crowd can never live down szechwan gate, and southwark fans literally adopted “beat a ginger day” literally a day to commit assault against a certain group of people just for existing, cause the south park creators are self admitted bigots towards red headed people. and no that’s no joke, trey parker literally admitted he hates gingers and that he specifically married his asian wife cause asians don’t carry the ginger gene, a joke they included in the episode as well so yeah...

Yup. And they enforced the exact same message in suf. Steven straight up murdered someone and got away with it bc he has PTSD. It was just straight bullshit, excuse my language

That sounds like a movie I'd want to watch, you know- if it was well-aware of what it was doing and had an actual writing staff

Well as EZ pointed out, it's not completely clear that they were actually the bad guys (Having planets get destroyed to reproduce) (But there were some gem fusion experiments or something, I guess that could be counted as an act of wrongdoing? But Garnet herself was at the fault of that whole experiment going up..+ The Human Zoo or whatever). I mean, if anything Rebecca herself looks like the ultimate bad guy, I would say this would suit her; "Evil is not accepting bribes knowing that you destroy an innocent but believing that good is done: faith with a smile or educated dogma not touched by doubt, ideology with charisma."

It’s like redeeming Hitler. He killed millions and then his nephew makes him blush and he’s a good guy now. That’s not how it works.

This is why him controlling White Diamond with his Pink Bitch Energy was a missed oppurtunity in Homeward Bound: He would've litterally had to face the consequences of his actions by fighting a representation of his fear of change.

Paul Tello He got corrupted and turned into a monster and nobody died he didn't really do anything other than throw a tantrum in monster form and he was turned into a human again because everyone hugged him and then he cried a lot just like he always does.

@Paul Tello Steven slowly becomes mental due to past trauma or some bullshit that should've shown itself way sooner and kills Jasper (but revives her because whats consequences), tries to kill White Diamond when she was just trying to help him with his bitch fits and partially destroys Lil. Homeschool with his uncontrolable, out of nowhere DBZ powers. Then he has some kinda meltdowm when Connie, Greg and the gems try to intervene and turns into a monster (just like the fandom and everyone else with 2 working braincells predicted like 2 million years ago) then the Diamonds appear and help save Steven by hugging him very hard and saying that they're there for him and that he did NOTHING wrong ever, THEY are the ones that are crappy and shitty for not devoting 100% of their time to the brightest star of the galaxy: Saint Steven. At the end Steven most likely realizes hes a public menace to Beach City and decides to make some bullshit self-discovery roadtrip through the US while receiving mental counseling and leave everyone he loves and knows behind because the most logical thing to do fresh out of a meltdown is go away from your safety net and live on your own

@@TheGoldenPlatoon757 Lol thanks. I usually don't go too deep with examining this shows writing anymore, because the level of fury I get at the writers for completely fucking up the characters, especially Lapis.

I mean, I do like spinel, but I understand the hate surrounding her character: her symbolism, her justification, her place in the story. Steven Universe: The Movie was my first inclusion with the show and I didn't find it bad. As someone just entering the series I could understand a great amount of the world and backstories of most characters. Of course, having just gotten into the show and having not watched anything before suf, I didn't get much of the hate for Steven himself. It seems the main arguments going around are how "unrealistic" mental illness or redemption is portrayed in this show, and I do agree with some of them. Spinel threatened an entire planet and then was mostly forgiven for her actions, and then sent to the diamonds as a "coping method" for them, which really doesn't help spinel's trauma at all. Also goes to show a flaw in Steven's perfect character arc where he just let her be sent off. He didn't really forgive her, I mean he didn't instantly see her as a friend, which shows a small deal of hate hidden under that goodwill golly smile. I'd argue here that Spinel, although redeemed easily, wasn't really forgiven. Steven did the "talk it out" method, but as soon as the problem is resolved, he leaves her, TWICE. I think this is where Steven is first shown to have changed. The three gems in homeworld were kept around (I don't know the "because" part yet), probably because he liked them, but when it came to the diamonds and spinel, he was overjoyed to have them gone. That's a great deal of selfishness for a good guy, but his thoughts and actions are realistic here. I mean, his only thoughts were to get rid of the problem, but still keep up his ego to hide his darkness. That is dark, terrible, and goes to show the good guy isn't perfect, and I think he should have at least been punished for this. Damn this post is long. I meant to talk about Spinel here but then got into Steven XD.

But it doesn't work like *There you go,now your trauma is gone :D* Even after I had learned to "Love again" like Spinel did it was very hard not to smack people away or be disgusted by hugs. I only went back to loving physical contact NOW,a year and a half later. And sometimes I still ask these people who literally carried me while I almost conked out "Are you sure you actually like me?" You'll relapse and have ups and downs. It won't go away like that. You need to actually H E A L. Like y'know...With every illness? (It does get way better though,I swear.)

They're more horny than toxic lmao.

O5- • lol, especially the female teen fans...they ship more than pay attention to the plot

@@imhappy2373 bro the plot ain’t good, the show is mediocre at best

At least mha is decent

I remember when that first came out people were saying he's hot and e W that's a child with his dad

The shows creators came out when fusion was first introduced and said it was meant to be a metaphor for sex. You can't undo or unsay that, so why would you make Steven and his Dad fuse? You're either intentionally trying to confuse kids

Cierra Brown if you think that’s bad then you should see what he does to white diamond

@And I- Well, it is about relationships, but that DOESN'T deny that it is also about sex, but just between some Gems. Again, that doesn't erase that "sexual scenes" have happened in the show, leading to fusion, while others have had a relationship-kind of fusion. (22:10 Where EZ explains it in his words)

@And I- And of course, as because Steven imagines Greg being buff, that's what Greg shows through in the fusion, but that's also one of the creepy factors, his visual appearance and acting. Basically Greg is witnessing it.

Ha!

Yeah the idea had tonnes of potential but they fucked it up

I don't even remember the last action cartoon I watched at this point, even bad anime just sweep those cool action away by this point

lol star trek: the next GEMeration

SicariusFlamus; I don’t know whether that pun makes me angry or amused, take a like nonetheless

I really don't understand why everyone is saying that "gems are interesting concept" when they are not. Genderless aliens is a barebone thing in sci-fi (robots, non-humanoids /sex-change /egg layers, higher beings, splitters, cosmic slimes, intellegent spores, etc), on the level of "aliens came to conquest us all". It's no different than any other concept. You can make it good or bad, but it's nowhere unique.

I agree with you. I’ve always thought they listened to him just bc of Rose. And suf was horrid. I also liked su but they decimated suf. the basically spread the message that ptsd is a good excuse to freaking murder your friends

I mean....he has been right but not always they don't always do what he says

also when was suicide ever mentioned in the show? Anyways yeah I would still say he was mostly right it seems.

You shouldn’t dislike a kids show because it tackles dark topics. You should dislike it because it handles them POORLY

I agree but i also really liked peridot. The only things is that they kind of forgot about peridot as an individual and now shes just part of a trio. Also they butchered Spinel in future 😔

I like all the characters

Not Peridot or Lapis? Honestly I think they were the only good characters after Garnet was reduced to "the character who talks about fusions" after season 1. Before Spinel of course. Then again I might only like Lapis because her depression clicks with me, and I'm a sucker for water power characters and dancer characters with a primarily blue design (my favorite Fire Emblem character is NINIAN of all people, you'd think it would be Azura but her game is awful and she is a wasted character).

Ehh, I think the best written character was Pearl to me. It felt so real because you do not recover from a trauma that lasted for11000 years. (according to google pearl is 11000 years old and she was meant to serve the diamonds back from when she first was born so yeah)

I liked peridot a lot, mostly because of how she tried to murder steven and the gems

liq

I thought that would be the case too. I was however not hoping for it, because I don't like feeling trolled like that. I am happy it wasn't 40 min black screene. I don't hate SU (I don't say I like it either, I like aspects/episodes/some messages but not the whole show, it's a mixed bag for me.), but I like watching this type of videos just to see an another perspective. I found this channel because of Star vs (which is my number 15 favourite cartoon and at the time it was even higher on my list, but even I am aware it has a lot of flaws, especially now the last season, but I was curious about his points), I watched the rant and subscribed.

That would’ve of been better than the actual video

*38 minutes and 13 seconds

Ernesto Negron You can go to Chicago for that.

Which is technically true. Still designed as a representation, but they're genderless

@@MarkerMurker that's sounds really gay.

@@thedavid7241 Gay is one specific thing. They are not that one specific thing.

If they are genderless then explain white diamond

I actually wish they would’ve given the gems their own “decision” of their gender pronouns since they don’t have a sex. So if they feel comfortable with “he” take it. It basically sucks that there is no logic behind this

no shit

Wiki Kansel glad we agree

Basically it had a good idea but poorly executed.And I am also a fan of the show.

Raheem Smith Yeah

@@judgmentalanimal Hi

Finally someone having a similiar opinion to mine. I enjoy su casually. Su future was a let down, but i had hopes for the ending.... And it was also just meh.

@@ananaspryde5687 I kinda hoped Steven would actually learn to control his powers/emotions (kinda like in the smoky quartz episode), instead he just ran away. It was kinda underwhelming.

I liked the ending

I do agree that the build up was rushed and the climax was extremely rushed. However, I am glad that they decided to address a topic like PTSD and other mental health issues. I wish they handled it a bit better though.

I have PTSD and mental health issues Especially whats going on now

I wanted to see that hug fail miserably along with this clip from Ed Edd n Eddy of Eddy saying, "way to go Mr. Sensitive. A hug. Oh that's rich."

ICE storm yeah, I really wish they murdered Steven

@@harnanmylvaganam6311 I don't think they should've done that. What really was downright insulting was Steven finally got what he needed for years, therapy... off screen.

ICE storm, hugging Steven didn't solve everything. He just needed to know that everything was going to be okay.

@@Stew91 "Hugging Steven didn't solve everything" Uh. The fuck it didnt? That hug basically said to the audience that anything can be solved by the power of love and friendship. The thing is, is that they did it fucking horribly. A hug should not have made Steven stop being the giant monster, and i know they only had 11 minutes, still. They could have made it 2 episodes.

I haven't met a single child who likes Steven Universe all the Steven Universe fans I've come across are adults and it's my personal theory that it wasn't even intended for children to begin with.

@@pinkdiamond1847 Same, my family has a lot of young kids and not a single one of them actually cares about this show.

HadouKeyblade Yeah all the kids in my family want to watch Adventure Time and The Amazing World of Gumball and Teen Titans Go but they change the channel when Steven Universe comes on. I once asked my niece (she's 10) if she likes Steven Universe and she told me she finds it boring. That just supports my theory that Steven Universe was never made for 6-11 year olds and was in fact made for childish adults. If you watch the pilot it looks like it would feel a lot more at home on adult swim and I think that's what it was intended for but whoever green lit it decided that it would be more at home on their kids block and I'm guessing that's why the animation for the final product was made to look cuter as well.

The show is more directed towards Teens and Young Adults than kids.

Johnny Joestar It claims to be aimed at 6-11 year olds but like I said I don't know a single child under 13 who likes this show the youngest Steven Universe fan I know is 13 (my friends little brother) and I don't think it was ever intended for children and if Cartoon Network could let the writers have the freedom to do what they want instead of trying to make it kid friendly it would probably make a much better show. I might be wrong though.

The ending though. Mmmmm I feel like it could've been different or better

Adults can't enjoy cartoons?

When you put it like that, anything sounds dumb. The Last of Us; Ellie: I have a cure Joel: Ok Ellie: Okay End

@@yoursexualizedgrandparents6929 well as mentioned the universe seems to do what ever Steven wants so why waste all this time being.....well......Steven.

@@MWH12085 I got your point, but it looked like you were mocking the formula rather than the subject.

@@thatoneroyalguard7060 They built up the joke about Kim being a Hobbit and instead of showing her as a hobbit, they have Kanye guilt trip Wendy into giving up her completely justified crusade against the photos that sow takes of herself! If you think that's not glorifying that awful family, you're a fucking idiot!

What, got no retort about how I "missed the joke" or how I'm supposedly wrong to say The Hobbit didn't glorify the Kardashians when it obviously fucking did?! Face it, you know deep down I'm fucking right that Matt and Trey sold out to that fucking family! I couldn't care less about what you actually think about Steven Universe or its movie, but on the grounds of nobody on the show ever simping for the Kardashians like Matt and Trey did, that automatically makes it better than South Park!

Huh? The whole series has music in it lmao. SU has tons of likeable characters too.

Reading the replies I’m slightly worried about clicking the time stamp….. 🤔🤔🤔

I agree. Changed my life.

Yeah the women/ not actually women and fusion is sex / fusions not actually sex stuff is annoying and confusing. It makes it hard to get invested in it.

@@mahliwowe I'm with you there.👍 I get the impression that they didn't think the "genderless gems" thing all the way through. If they just said _they're all female,_ it wouldn't be a big deal, considering we've had media that loads of people like with female-centric casts before. That and the Gems are a species that reproduce by plunging large "Injectors" into the surface of a world to give life to new Gems. Hmm... Oooohhhh good grief, *Fusion* is so poorly conceived and creates _so many unfortunate implications_ that it actually put me off the show. I know they tried to backpedal on it and say it's 'harmony in any relationship', but like it or not they established it as "sex" early on - with rather on-the-nose imagery, might I add - and that's not something you'd forget. *Stevonnie and Steg* are probably the most disturbing examples considering that knowledge. 😨

@@DoctorInk20 not to mention they recently stated Peridot was asexual because she didn't fuse. But none of the gems have genitalia so they are all asexual. Ugh it makes me uncomfortable. I've never watched a kids cartoon where I had to work out the logic of a characters sexuality and genitals to understand it. Especially with Stevonnie and Steg like you said 🙃

@@mahliwowe @Mahli Wowe That's another good point you've made. This is supposed to be _a children's show, ages 8-11..._ yet the audience chiefly seems to be teens and college students. It's no surprise merch didn't sell well. XD Ah, _Peridot._ The one good character. Two things with her: 1. She, like other Homeworld Gems, should have been used to contrast against the Crystal Gems more, just to show how rigid, regimented and uptight the Homeworld truly is. That is, if the CGs didn't act pretty weird and alien to begin with and were actually integrated into human society. 2. That statement you mentioned basically says to me, "Hey if you're uncomfortable with being in a threesome your first time, there's a problem with you!" Which is not something you want in a children's show! Like you say, drawing a flowchart for character sexualities is not a priority. XD Sweet Threepwood's beard, my brain breaks down thinking about! XD Nobody thought this through! If they took out the sex bit and just made it a cool superpower (that has other applications), it'd be fine! We'd all be comfortable and enjoying ourselves, but we can't! Not gonna lie, I've been writing my own analysis of SU and how I'd rewrite the whole thing to make it work and this conversation helped me to flesh out the "Fusion" aspect. So thank you. XD

@@DoctorInk20 When you're finished writing it I'd love to read it. I used to love the show, but honestly after Future I realized how awful it really was. So I love watching and reading stuff that trashes it. Edit: or fix it lmao

Peridot is why season one and three are so good tbh.

And tasty!

The stakes in the first series were that the planet was gonna get blown up though. Those were some high fuckin stakes, and that ended up being a really shit fuckin payoff.

Jason Thomas Yeah thats because high stakes aren’t what makes them good. When people are rooting for a relationship, the “will they, won’t they” are the stakes. Artificially bumping up stakes is something that amateur writers do because they can’t make people legitimately invested in their characters.

Steven is just a fanfic character that was written into a full series that is burning right in front of you every time they do something

He is the most lame gary stu. He has the personality of a 50s housewife.
