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

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

Imply that gems can get naked and have vaginas

>Implying Greg isn't a strong male role model.
>Small business owner
>Great hair
>Followed his dreams
>Single Dad

I mean Greg and Rose have had sex to have Steven so it is implied that they can at least shapeshift a vagina

You could at least give him an apartment or something.

The show is already halfway an action show. Just make the gems more superhero-y

>make the art style more realistic
>remove feelings and downtime
>Every episode is full of fighting and sense of danger
>Yellow diamond was set as the villain since the very beginning

>Pearl now has tits
>All the other Gems have cleavages and look more like pic related
>Steven while still being a pacifist, use his sword when needed
>Connie play a supporter role, like playing a magical flute or something
>more rock and less ukulele
>his dad isn't fat

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

He could at least not look like an ape and a loser.

He took care of Steven until he was 12, and pay for the house and the multiple destroyed TVs.

Yeah I meant add a male Crystal Gem because apparently boys can't relate to females. This is news to me as a male.

summonds a sword instead of a SHiEld

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

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

Basically make him less friendly and more badass.

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

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

>Implying Greg is a strong male role model
>Has a dead-end job that doesn't even pay enough for him to afford proper housing
>Balding
>Failed to achieve anything of note other than producing offspring
>Absentee father who doesn't even raise his own son
being a dad is a lot more than being a cool buddy. SJWs would have us believe that fathers have no role in society and that men should just be friends with their kids.

>until he was 12

Younger, surely? Steven hasn't aged physically in, like, three or four years, and he looked much younger when he moved in with them.

Sword AND shield nigga.

>lesbians
>dat ass
>lesbians
Does it not already cater to boys?

He is both of those things, if you want to be cute about it.

I don't know. I think that he looked like that since 10? But I don't remember how he looked when he went to live with them.

>Or is it implicitly wrong to make such a distinction?
Measuring objective statistic is not wrong at all.

its a gender neutral show bruh

My suggestions would be:

>Make Amethyst less fat, less short and stocky, less disgusting and immature, and get rid of her disgusting allergic reaction lips
>Get rid of Garnet's third eye, make her talk more and have an actual personality, reduce hip size, get rid of square hairdo, and have somebody else voice her entirely
>Get rid of Pearl's pointy nose, or at least reduce the pointiness.
>Make Jasper shorter, get rid of her tumblr nose, and make her less of a steroid diesel dyke
>Make Lapis less emo, make her look less like a blue Pearl.
>Make Sadie taller and get rid of her disgusting fatness, get rid of her crush on Lars, it's dumb.
>Make the Pizza sisters white
>Remove Stephen entirely or make him a completely different character. If you keep him, make him less fat, make him less annoying, less feminine, less stupid, less hyper, less everything that makes him the annoying little fuck he is currently
>Give Connie bigger tits

He could look like a cool loser.

Better beard, thin, cowboy hat and tan all over the body.

>Implying boys wouldn't get into it just for the sake of all that pussy

He took care of Steven until he was old enough to train with the Gems. Greg pays for all the utilities and furnishings within the house, he literally lives in a van so all his money can go to his son. Maybe try watching the fucking show next time you faggot.

Lots of violence, no more poofing boys need actual violence like people getting punched in the face and showing the pain from it, no gore though thats way too far.

How does it cater to girls?

So basically ruin the show, got it.

Nigga, one thing that is good is diversity on waifus to Carter to fetishes.

But you are right about Amethist, she should look like this at least

>stevonnie
>pussy

Stale pasta

Isn't this a Sup Forums copy paste.
It's either a meme, a Sup Forumstard or an SJW saying all men are Sup Forumstard's.

90% sure it's a meme.

>Cosplayers
>Pussy

How much autism are you on?

So basically you want all of these children's cartoon characters to be more fuckable?

Well... in this day and age...

Seek professional help.

"The dude abides".

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

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

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

This is a pasta guys, I know we all think the worst of these shitty tripfag losers, who are just the worst pieces of shit imaginable, but lets try to be civil with these fucking monkey brained retarded attention whores.

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

Probably add a male gem other than steven but other than that I think the show is good.

>"The dude abides".
Yes.

Making Amethist like this would also help

Steven's getting there, it's just taking time.

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

>. I mean all a whip does is tear off your skin how can you show kids that without getting to gore?


Amethist uses it to cut monsters and metal.

No user I mean I want Steven to spawn his shield then hit stuff with it like Captain America not none of that throwing shield crap I mean whacking stuff.
Are you sure thats a fucking whip? The force in a whip is concentrated at the end.

>Are you sure thats a fucking whip? The force in a whip is concentrated at the end.

Its magic, so sometimes cut like a sword.

Sometimes she even put energy powers into it.

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

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

...We haven't seen Opal fight yet, not really, but shouldn't she logically be stronger than Garnet? Provided she had a clear purpose.

Whips are lame user you cant make fights with whips since you cant parry using a whip and if your opponent can dodge the tip then the weapon is useless, not to mention anyone with super strength can can just grab anything that isnt the tip and throw our ass into the air.

Im sorry user but whips suck.

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

call it DBZ

>more focus on cleaning up the war and capturing corrupt gems, interacting with the locals wherever they go.
>flashbacks to the war being the B-plot over the course of the season
>episodes following townies going about their daily life can stay, but reduce the drama by 30% and the crying by 70%
>lose "everything is from Steven's perspective all the time".
>increase episode length to 30 minutes including commercials

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

Even so, the whip serves more purposes - she also uses it as a grapple or lariat.

>We haven't seen Opal fight yet, not really, but shouldn't she logically be stronger than Garnet? Provided she had a clear purpose.

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

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

>>flashbacks to the war being the B-plot over the course of the season

Flashback is cool, as B plot no.

>shapeshifter
Stevonnie has whatever "they're" in the mood for.

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

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

Boy are already interested by it.

This is just an autism thread to bait all the SJW's and Sup Forumstards.

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

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

Turn it into MLP: FiM.

make the art not so ugly
replace stevens voice
actually have action
no fucking crying

Nothing. It's ok. It has it's flaws, but it doesn't
need to be changed.

Didn't Peridot say Amethyst is as strong as a regular-sized quartz?

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

You have a universe with gems for fuck sake.
This you could be easily a GOAT action one.

You would put more focus on "wouldn't it be cool if you were Steven" vs. "wouldn't it be cool if you knew Steven".

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

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

I'm not sure how to get more specific than that.

Actually, one specific thing; Stevonnie. In a more boyish SU, Connie would give Steven the strength to do something he found intimidating instead of the other way around.

give Steven a less anoying voice

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

>Old, fat, bald
>Lives in van
>Failed at music dreams
>Owns a shitty low tier car wash

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

The only reason Elsa was popular with girls was because she had ice powers and a pretty dress, kids didn't actually care about her emotional journey.

Give connie the sword and drop her and steven off in the gem worlds without support.
Let Steven fight corrupted gems and find old WMDs that could beat gem world.
The CG are planning an assault while also planning a way to rescue Steven and Connie.
Lapis, Peri, and Jasper are Space Rebels that are enemies to home world and CG
Make the fights constant and show actual fights not some lethal dance moves or make it too anime.

*hunps*

*cries eritime*

This desu. Now both actionfags and solfags can agree.

You guys are baiting, right? What's with the retarded amount of people saying this show doesn't appeal enough to dudes or has "gone too far" now? Fucking stupid.

I have friends who are dudes who like the show just fine and yes, they're straight and not sjws

>caring about what SJWs think

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

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

First of all Anna > Elsa but anyway

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

Male Metals

>Pearl has tits

Other than that one idea, I agree with you. Especially more rock, some songs really don't work with the cheery ukulele sound.

>make it cater to boys instead of girls
>instead of
Why would I do that? I want the widest possible audience.

LoL only in Japan

Personally I see S.U has a show for boys or girls, it's a family show that everyone is able to enjoy, so with that said, the things I would do to make the show better overall.
>30 min eps.

>Development for the human characters.

>Steven started to question the Gems on their views on humanity.

>More songs.

>More Gems.

That's about it.

Get rid of gay agenda that started post Jailbreak

>Rebecca Sugar made a show that appeals to both boys and girls
I wonder if she wanted Steven to be a girl too at first. But you're guaranteed the boy audience with a boy MC.

Change absolutely nothing about the characters or setting, but have it focus more on badass fight scenes instead of drama.

Easy

Agreed. On that subject... Requesting an edit of this but with porl

All we need for the show is more peridot.

Steven is a carbon copy of her brother, Steven Sugar, and she said that the Gems represent her personality as a sister.

I have no fucking clue how but I misread your post and did it with Amethyst instead.

>I guess if we're SJW sociopaths and we can't relate to people who aren't our gender then add a strong male role model.
Don't tell me your argument for homogeneous casts and copy-pasted protagonists is that people who can't entirely relate to a white guy are "sociopaths".

The typical male protagonist is relatable to everyone is some way yeah I'm not saying otherwise but the exclusion of certain experiences is going to necessarily mean he's not going to be relatable in a ton of other ways. What makes those other ways less legitimate?

Exactly this.
I like how Steven's greatest asset is his empathy, and I want him to keep trying to redeem enemies, but ultimately the purpose of expanding the team is to defend Earth from all the Gems who cannot change. I want to see his mom collection in action.

Okay now here's porl

Make it good.

Care to elaborate?

Give Steven a club instead of shield so his fights are more entertaining.

Thanks user, those are great!

Fixed some bits

This is the worst Steven Universe bait thread yet.

I can't wait for Summer of Steven so that /sug/ can overrun Sup Forums again and we can drop this intense level of faggotry.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have the answer.

Just add one of these for instant shot of testosterone.

Give Steven a gun instead dudes will love that and make the gun shoot pink energy shoots that go pew pew pew.

I fell asleep twice reading that.

This is a really good bait thread though, it's producing some decent discussion.

have more tit shots of rose
also more rose in general

This, more battles, more adventures and quests and Greg steps in front of Steven to protect him
>Get your hands off my son you BITCH
