>both peedee and steven have no mum, meaning they have atleast something they can share with eachother >boths of there guardians treat them more of an extension to a business/legacy than as an individual >both are THE ONLY ONES IN BEACH CITY THE SAME AGE >Steven bubbliness and obliviousness bounces off well with peedee's more grounded and realistic approach at life
Am I the only one who sees how cool this could've been? Why have a character take up one of the introduction episodes for the show only to leave him in the background for the rest of the series? He had the most potential out of the townies and his interactions with steven just feel so grounded and authentic. It really even comes into question why connie was even necessary as peedee would've been much better for the training arc. Maybe too shota? Personally, I'd rather see peedee and steven hit it off romantically, if sugar wanted homo why didn't she just go with it?
Neat, I remember this phase. There's like two more steps before you realize that giving a shit is a waste of your time.
Christian Carter
Steven is so fucking ugly and annoying. That is one punchable face.
Samuel Hughes
My best guess would be that the writers were too autistic to understand someone can have more than one friend and decided connie would be the one to fill that role
It's been too long since I've watched the first season to say much more
Mason Smith
And if you watched the show, the fucker would defeat you every time you tried to punch him.
Levi Walker
Ok, am i the only one who has A SERIOUS FUCKING PROBLEM WITH STEVENS FUCKING NOSE LIKE GOD FUCKING DAMN WHY THREE LINES.
WHY IS RUBY'S VOICE SO FUCKING ANNOYING
WHY HASN'T STEVEN GROWN UP AND HAVE HIS VOICE DEEPEN
WHY ARE THE SIZES SO FUCKING INCONSISTENT
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A NON-FILTER EPISODE
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jack Lopez
If not part of the main crew he could've just been a great friend to help ground Steven. Connie and Greg can't really do that because they're too involved in all the gem stuff.

>Steven hangs out with Onion, the Cool Kids, Lars and Sadie more than Peedee There's something very strange about Steven not interacting with people his own age. Peedee could have been the friend that grounds Steven and been an example of a 'normal' kid Steven's age. Steven could have gotten Peedee to loosen up and gain more freedom to enjoy the short adolescence he had left and Peedee could have helped Steven act more his own age and not a stunted 8 year old in a 14 year old's body.
But it feels like he was kept away from Steven for that purpose, because he would crush Steven's childlike wonderment under the crushing gaze of peer criticism.

Jayden Jenkins
its not even that though, we already have the majority of the cast as girls, why do they need another one like connie? Her whole book fetish could've easily been apart of peedee's personality considering he was shown to be a kids thats very deep in his shell, plus pearl is the knowledgable one. There is no need for connie, she does nothing for the show except being strank wemin.
the writers would've done that though, the sardonyx arc is enough proof of that
David Adams
I don't even mind having Connie still be in it if they really wanted it, the main character, best friend, and girl dynamic is a popular trope and it would have connected Steven a little more to a human aspect. They kind of touched on how Steven felt like an outcast with humans and gems but if he actually had a solid core of best human friends to help him connect more with being human that would have helped a lot.
Hunter Jackson
You're right.
- I don't think Ruby has an annoying voice. - Steven hasn't grown up because he's slow and his physical development mirrors his emotional and mental development. He's surrounded by hypercompetent (Even the slacker is a better warrior than any human) super-beings who are thousands of years old and fighting an incredible war against monsters and aliens - not much motivation to grow up and put your foot down. Beach City in some ways is a sort of fantasy land, this isolated corner of the world - a holiday resort inhabited by fun-loving goofballs and weirdos - kind of how a child sees the world anyway. Plus he is half gem, so who the fuck knows? He might live for thousands of years, so relatively speaking he's newborn. - I don't know why they don't make the sizes inconsistent. It's annoying as fuck. - I don't even understand why we have filler episodes at all.
You'd have to sneak up on him, which is impossible, because Garnet would know you were going to try. And you'd have to shatter him on the first go, or he'll just lick himself better. Afterwards you'd have to contend with five extremely pissed-off alien warriors.

Lucas Evans

Luke Taylor
Has he had any focus since Frybo
Daniel Bell
He probably wasn't because the storyboard artists, who make the show, relate more to the older characters or mistake Onion to be the same age as Steven to pair together. Why have Steven spend time with Peedee when they have little in common aside their dead parents and responsibility put on them. Peedee would probably get annoyed by Steven like how Steven gets annoyed by Peedee's older brother.
Though honestly that would have been a funny dynamic and serves a missed opportunity.
Bentley Thompson
I'd be salty too if my kid was so dumb he ate rocks.
Hudson Myers
He was a big part of Rising Tides/Crashing Skies and had a focus last season in Restaurant Wars. That's about it.
Lincoln Murphy
Those were halcyon days ripe with potential.
Carson Davis
I hadn't really thought about this before, but it makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Peedee's a busy responsible boy who just wants to work at his job.
The only way the interaction would work is if Steven does the whole "get you out of your shell" thing or Peedee does the "you have to learn to be more responsible" thing and that would all just be a rehash of his relationship with Connie.
So basically it's not happening because it doesn't offer anything new.

>Why are their sizes so inconsistent Their outer appearance is merely a concious manifestation of light.

Lucas Brooks
>pretending it has emotions Their pretty good at pretending
Carter Gutierrez
Let's face it, if Pearl seriously wanted you dead, you'd be dead. If she didn't have to worry about keeping someone safe, or Steven see her doing something awful, who the fuck could even stop her? Garnet, MAYBE.
If she so chose, Pearl would be a massacre machine - a giant blender with a nose.
>She is walking towards you >Your gang is tensely holding their weapons >Six holo-Pearls flare into existence around her, moving in perfect sync, photonic spears gleaming with the terrifying promise of death at the edge of a weapon made of light >"Shoot! Shoot! Goddammit, SHOOT HER ALREADY!" >They all know to aim for the gem >It doesn't even take a full second and she is on you, your team a gruesome carpet of sliced meat and steaming blood >"You shouldn't have threatened my son" is the last thing you hear as her ice-blue eyes stare unblinkingly in yours and her spear gently slides into your heart like a knife though pudding
That is assuming she would even opt for an open attack.
Easton Gutierrez
That doesn't explain why Steven needs a stool to reach his counter now compared to the 3rd episode

He learned since that there is an alien empire out there that wants to kill him. That would make anyone feel small.

>partial teleportation >teleport parts of people away
Could make a good horror flick. Find Connie, teleport her heart into his bed while he sleeps. Teleport the gemstones out of the gems and put it in his toilet before he gets up. Teleport a townie's tongue into his asshole while he's making a snack after lunch. Teleport his dad's head onto the set of the morning news.
I won't even need to defeat him.
Easton King

I wanna go a step further in my argument in omitting connie cause some people in this thread think the show would be fine if both peedee and connie were close to steven
In pic related is from both characters first episode appearances, these pics are of both reacting to there first gem monster encounter, now just look at both for a second and see the problem here. You see that stark difference in reaction? give me a reason why people shouldn't call connie a mary-sue? Give me a flaw of hers that isn't something every other mundane kid has.Contrast, just off the first episode, Peedee is set up with three basic traits that can be expanded, his desire to prove his worth to his dad, (again a rose parallel) His over reliance on needing approval (pearl training him) and his pit fall in trying to grow up to fast without catching a break to soak in the present (something both him and steven can overcome together).
But back to the reactions though, I just really love how off the bat connie kills her first gem monster lmao. (it was her idea to go under the boardwalk) a girl who is supposedly smuffered by both parents and not having many grand adventures on her own but is pretty 'oh a foreign monster *yawn*' she doesn't run (cause ""powerful"" women run the show) nor does she ask steven, she just hatches and idea and first go both characters defeat the monster. No disagreement and no hassle its boring, its safe and connie sucks steven off by the end of it congratulating him. If shes such a wizz kid and is shown to have no friends shouldn't the show back up this claim? Maybe make her be a typical smart ass and she remarks. "Oh it was no hassle, I thought of it." My conplaint with connie is she and steven don't gel well together. The creator just made them to perfect. She doesn't learn from trial and error, if maybe these character worked as a brain and braun type deal then yeah it'd be decent, connie would learn as the series went along to stop being a smart

And steven started acting his age. Another strong point in both characters relationships is the fact tht connie is in school while steven does not have any school in his life and its shame, half-hour episodes are spent on one off uncle andy shenanigan episodes and not something like steven and connie going to school and steven and connie interacting in a school environment, something our protagonist is not used to but his side protagonist is, throw in magical drama in the mix. andy ou'd get really good development out of it. Maybe they fight, maybe this can be where they fuse after finding a midway for eachother, but no, instead the best we get is episodes like fusion cuisine that both show potential of maybe another side to connie-sue but the show step back from it, showing a strong distaste in souring there little feminist pooch. I just odn't get how people can say this is there fave character when she is simply horrible at being both a good friend and a love interest, she tries to be everything instead focusing on one thing. Much like this whole show
I could literally go on forever with character, so if anons want my shitty opinions and ideas go for it

To be honest I think anyone with a functioning brain could defeat Steven and the gems. Just use homemade bombs or some shit. If unpopular teenagers can do it, I probably can.
jejejeje no, it is not. Besides people ship them enough already they could demand a gay relationship for Steven and this doesn't seem the plan so no, thanks.
Jaxson Watson
Is Peedee even on the show anymore? I remember he was supposed to be Steven's best friend, but turns out he switched that with Connie.
Jacob Wood
Seriously, it would be easier to write him off (maybe have him move in with another relative) than pretend he's still a character
