No. Keep that shit away. If anything, it'd just get weirder.

What's with the retarded belief that putting literally anything on Adult Swim would suddenly make it better or more adult?

Pretty much this, but it'd be interesting to see the show unrestricted with Rebecca in charge.

The animation budget would go down and the show would just be a bunch of "lol, so random and edgy" jokes to shit out a tonne of episodes as quickly as possible with terrible animation and writing. Sugar would leave after season 2 for better things.

Fuck no it wouldn't. SU's humor works perfectly in a kid friendly show, I don't really get the sense that CN is preventing them from telling any jokes that [as] would otherwise allow.

If you're thinking maybe they'd be able to get away with more violence and more mature, heavier themes in regards to the plot, you may be right, but you'd also have to consider that [as] fucking despises anything that isn't 90% comedy, so even with the added violence, they'd still probably be canceled after the first or second season.

I think that's what steven universe is laking, if only we could see a unrestricted steven universe...

Id say the idea is rooted in the fact that the things that make SU standout somewhat mature thematically ARE themes that are curtailed by its age demographic. Adventure Time could, for example, pretty much do what it wanted to do without being on AS. If it were reproduced to be more mature, then ya, itd probably just be more edgy or with more dick jokes.

I really think SU would be really interesting if it could go further in its execution of themes

It's one of those things where, I don't want to change how the show is presented. But they are definitely playing around with ideas that can't be fully realized. I think we'd get more frybo and catfingers shit.

What's going on in that pic?

>expecting more action and drama
>on adult swim

Do you guys actually watch adult swim by any chance? Can you remember the last time any original production by them had anything resembling what you're asking for?

Before someone says Moral Orel, keep in mind that it was cancelled immediately after the show's creators gave the [as] execs something exactly as dark as what they were asking for.

Im not going to disagree with you. Honestly i havnt been keeping up with AS outside of seeing Sup Forums fume about its content.

I just wanted to state that i feel SU could further its potential if it had a less limiting censorship, where as some other equally celebrated childrens work may not

a man can dream you know...it could have been great

It's already rated PG, probably for lesbians. They could be getting away with a lot more than they are with no change in ratings.

Sugar is just choosing to keep it tame and kid-friendly.

I think what you meant to say was Netflix. It wouldn't end up like Rick and Morty or Morel Orel if it was on [as], they'd probably play up the weird alien gem aspect and make it weird and edgy to fit the current [as] aesthetic/demographic, which is pretty much random stoners who like Family Guy reruns.

It really could have.

>Do you guys actually watch adult swim
to be honest, I haven't watched adult swim since I was 15, and that was 2003. And I don't want that much more drama, I just want more weird shit.
Haven't the slightest idea, something about a princess if I recall. She dropped it when her pilot for SU got greenlit to be a show.

>SU go to [as]
>first episode is about steven wanting to know from where babies comes from and it's up to pearl to teach him how.

>we get to learn that pearl have a soft but firm polished ass.
>steven is touching her EVERYWHERE as he innocently turns her on
>connie suddenly appears and discover pearl and steven in the middle of their "moment"

>being able to show gem tits
>actual violance
>steven sometimes being an angsty teen like he should be, and showing him getting his rocks off with amythest rather then implying it
This needs to fucking happen

>[as] SU
>Pearl gets aggressively thirsty

Wait, they implied that?
Guess I might have to pick it back up...

I'm just reeeeaaaalllllly hoping they don't fuck up Samurai Jack, so they might pave the road for future decent show on [as]...

>Mayor Dewey

that is literally a life sized Sonic...you all see it too right? It's Sonic. DON'T CALL ME CRAZY, THAT MAN IS OBVIOUSLY A SONIC!

...

I see it as a combination of Sonic and Homer.
>implying steven and amethyst are fooling around
When and where?
Also, this show could of went somewhere weird when he was in Sadie's room as Lars.

YUP, exactly what I saw too. It's a Sanic.

Nah, what if the show DIDN'T have Rebecca in charge? I would like to see that for a change

Ho many gay jokes in the first episode?

I can't really see how it'd be improved by being put on Adult Swim? What are they really prevented from doing on a kid friendly show? If they were limited from doing what they want they seem to have done a good job spinning their limitations into interesting lore and different elements and they introduced a risk of dying without saying some shit like "sent to the shadow realm". So what do they gain?

Well, they are bringing back samurai jack.

it wouldn't exist

>original production by them

This is my idea of how it would be like
>crystal gems are more atteactive and sexually aggresive, it would would have a TV MA rating so tit shots would be allowed
>they fight actual aliens and humans aswell
>one notable advesaries is a sect of nazi scientists that survived the war, and made there own gem experiments
>flashbacks to the gems fighting in WWII
>another is an alien, that in reality is very weak and small, but has the ability to make its victims percieve it as there worst fears, and kill them with whatever illusion they belive. The only way to defeat it is to refuse to acknowledge the illusions exsistance
>tit and panty shots are prevalent
>steven is both loving and angsty, some moments hes spontaneous and funny, others hes depressed and outright suicidal
>soundtrack consists of 90s grundge

It'd be the same exact show. Same as if Regular Show were on Adult Swim. Even something older like Grim Adventures would be the exact same.

That's what I love about CN's shows. They barely pull their punches as it is.

What if it were on HBO?

Venture Bros has a lot of action and drama. But it also has an average of three years between seasons and the seasons are getting shorter every time. Probably some major budget cuts.

Amethyst would have by far the most foul mouth of the entire cast

So, so much nudity. Also gem sex

Gems would probably also have visible blood as well.

I'd imagine it'd be pretty much the same except with more gay jokes. Some mentions of carpent munchers and shit.

I dont like steven universe. It has a good in universe mythology. But steven himself is the problem. I would've loved for the series to be set back during the rebellion. It seemed like a more interesting plot. Not this current lackluster and boring story we have now. The human characters are dull and uninteresting. The gems are horribly under utilized and the artstyle is kind of ugly.

Other ideas include
>a ricardo lopez style stalker of pearl, ending in her riping out the top half of his skull and spinal cord
>corruption looking more visceral and disease like
>an extra dimensional entity the gems thought they banished for good centuries ago, that crosses dimensions to eternally feast on the consciousness of children
>a parasitic alien which liquifies and drinks its victims organs, and infiltrates one of sour creams raves as a reference to blade

>I watch you when you sleep for a reason
>Rose

If anything, as should just ironically show an 11 minute episode as is on its block unanounced. It would freak everyone out.

enough to make quentin tarantino and clint eastwood proud.

enough to make the church and Sup Forums proud of them and use them regularly.
it would be like a mass production of memes.

that would be perfect and with a rick & morty crossover would be nice, especially with rick making gay jokes as they deal with the parasite on the rave.

>youtube.com/watch?v=7GN4fL5x7Lc

...

it would be a lot more aimless, angsty and moral based, the storyboarders would have taken over with every episode being yet another hamfisted message about social anxiety or an attept at being 32deep64u, like in adventure time after ward left.

i get the feeling that sugar is the one in charge of making sure that the show has a single consistent story and direction, she will take ideas and will collaborate with the other artists but she will make sure is all for a single common vision

First off Steven Universe would get like 1/10 as many episodes and they'd be aired years apart making it difficult for anyone to really give a fuck about it.

The fandom wouldn't exist in it's current scale with that kind of schedule especially with the narrative SU went with. It established the characters with a quiet narrative building up in the background. They would have had to ham fist the narrative to get people interested and completely shelf the character development or at the very least heavily mute it.

SU being on cartoon network allows it to get not only a larger audience with children but more episodes to develop the plot, a more consistent airing schedule, more re-run potential, and larger budgeting because of the scale it's been able to attain.

I really don't believe SU could have been nearly as successful on Adult Swim.

read the whole comment and I think it should have been great to see SU developing in a more mature tone.
especially with pearl having sexual tension with steven or seeing more deeply the conflict she has with greg.
Amethyst would be interesting and she could probably hit some nerves in terms of personality.

No, it'd end up being edgy for the sake of being edgy.

you are absolutely right marjorie.
but if SU go to [as] to END the series(season 4 & 5), we would probably see a unchained steven universe and things will be probably A LOT darker and interesting.
or at least a spin-off season showing in detail how the gem war was like.

I do actually wish we got more hints of there being other aliens species in Steven universe.

you said what if rebecca was not in charge. if the show didnt have a show runner then it would be aimless drivel

i dont get you answer

Didn't it work for Space Ghost?

The channel literally has "adult" in its name.

Part of SU's appeal is that it's a kid's show that doesn't talk down to children.

oopsie I made a mistake in selecting the comment.
you are 100% right bro

this. it's a young adult's show, not an adult's show. AS would just remove some censorship and allow

>canon transexual fusions
>kevin wants to fuck, not to dance
>pearl mentions greg's 3 incher
>peridot becomes a dirty joke afficiando via the internet
>"hey steven clodiverse what do you call a dark skinned human in a suit"
>"gee peridot i don't know, your ex boyfriend?"
>"the defendant. HAA HAA HAAAwhat's a defendant"

All it needs are longer episodes, more seasons, and less executive meddling

KEK

The only mistake she made was making it in the first place

SU is exactly how sugar wants it to be. She wants to make a kids cartoon.

we'll probably never know where she was going with this, but i'll be damned if it wasn't leading up to something lewd

It don't matter.

None of this matters.

cognitive dissonance. She convinced herself that she was okay with watering down one of her stories in exchange for the chance to make it a fully animated, voiced and scored production

Is it wrong that I actually kind of want that Peridot?

"Steven, what's a 'nigger?' "

youtube.com/watch?v=PDToHQeouq8

The original bumpers were too comfy

youtube.com/watch?v=gevQaSWT4Gc

nah man read her interviews. this is exactly what she wanted

Yeah, the show seems to be exactly as dark as it needs to be without the needlessly edgy bullshit that would come part and parcel with a slot on Adult Swim. There's something to be said for the lighter touch that comes from adhering to standards and practices. Less, in this case, is definitely more.

ok that idea for peridot is almost awesome enough to make up for the rest of the shit in your post. like, if the rest of your shitty ideas were the price we had to pay for that peridot it might be worth it.

It would have been canceled years ago

why don't we search for someone to imitate peridot voice perfectly and start doing stuff like that?

I think [as] wouod be perfect to animate the gem war in a spin-off season of SU.
showing in a crude fashion what the situation was in the war.

there were. the gem empire destroys their planets to make more colonies, that's exactly what they wanted to do with the earth

>greg murdercock universe
>3 incher
pick one m8

You should rephrase this. The focus shouldn't be adult swim, it should be focused on "would Steven universe benefit from being a higher age rating?".
Adult swim is comedy focused as many pointed out, so unless the show became a lot more comedic to meet that expectation, it wouldn't last as long as it has. It's safe where it is now, because it's given freedom within a certain age group. It very well could benefit from a higher age rating, but I don't think it'd need TV-MA. Maybe just a teen rating, like a PG-13 kinda thing, would be enough for them to do whatever without feeling inhibited.
Hell they barely need that if violence and heavy themes are what you want, you should see what The Clone Wars did with just a TV-PG rating: all-out war with humanoid aliens as opposed to just droids, terrorist plots, an arc devoted to a slavery trade boom, there's a lot you can do when you're being produced and advised by papa Lucas. Less people will be the type that raise a hand and take issue with something.
And it's important to remember, of course, that violence and heavy themes aren't /necessarily/ mature, it's how they're handled too. Edge=/=quality, just making that clear.

perhaps you are right...maybe [as] would only work as a spin off season where they show us the gem war in great detail or rose doing sick shit when she was "outscreen".

it gets enough grief from stunted manchildren when it's being aimed at kids, what makes you think putting it in a time slot aimed at stunted manchildren would help in any way shape or form?

I don't know, perhaps it's just for shit and giggles that I write that.

Course they used to have a more broad focus with more violent/story driven stuff, namely anime.

Who knows, maybe it'll make a comeback and allow more mature shows depending how Samurai Jack plays our.

bump

Fuck that, give me Pug Davis.

Damn. is home world really that OP, wiping out civilization after civilization with little to no competion?

This. Pug Davis is perfect for [as], leave Steven Universe on CN.

What the fucks pug davis?

I'm hoping she makes a Pug Davis miniseries.

It'd be a perfect fit for late night.

So she stays the same?

I dunno, , maybe you could ask Google.

that's a really cute peri gif... makes my dick tingle

...

This. The show would lose itself in a sea of "adult" humour. Also one of the things that make the show work is the liberty it have to be cozzy and heartwarming which surely would suffer in [as] in favour of more grittiness or dirty humour.

Adult Swim is all stoner comedy. Bad stoner comedy. Well, that and FOX reruns. Most of which aren't that good.

Steven Universe was made to work with censorship and introduce tough concepts to kids. Without limits I think it would be bad, because the derivative anime-inspired story and simple morals would fall apart under the full scrutiny of adults.

For adults I'd want Sugar make something else. As pornographic as she wants cus she's good at that.

Yeah Pug Davis might work. The story was kind of confusing iirc, it could use expanding.

It would be more controversial too because it has gay romance between MALES.

Like what said, its heavily implied they already do exsist. But yes, i do want to see other aliens interact with steven and the crystal gems. i actually think corruptions are based off of the different alien designs theyve encounterd

this.

they'd be much less subtle about the lesbianism and other weird stuff. They wouldn't go for the sexy angle though. They'd just try to make it funny, gross, or shocking. It would be bad.

Apparently he's forcing himself on her. As far as I can tell
