i give you 5 minutes before a mod peeks you out

Fucked up timeline, I guess.
Connie had a first steps in knightism in da Sworn and the Sword ep.
In Nightmare Hospital she said is learning it for one year.
I mean, it's not even a half-season distance. Why creators make so huge skipes for fak sake?

Not one but two clicky bait videos! Good hustle, OP.

Star Vs irked me the same way
>Halloween episode halfway through season two
>Summer vacation at end of season

For me the cacke is taken with:
1) Completely unlikable characters of Steven.
Basically this:
youtu.be/wlzl0gUdb3I?t=2277
See the time code.
mind you that this is kind of fixed by the writers no longer writing this level of retarded bad actions for Steven. If you are at the absolute bottom the only way is up.
Everything after S1 is only a improvement and S1 is unwatchable.

2) Absolutely retarded fanon levels of interpretation that the creators actually push.
There is no LGBT message in SU and no way to interpret a LGBT message.
The most insane justification that I got was
>its pro LGBT because the creator is a woman
Ether whoever wrote this is insane/brain damaged or trolling.

The messages in the show are a absolute mess and have no coherency anything to whatsoever.
You can even interpret episodes to have massages like:
>Cripples/niggers are inferior hail the master race.
Or understand that the main hero are actually pro-hetero and fighting a empire that enforces homosexuality.

However its a absolute mess.

I wanted to make a thread where great videos with criticism can be compiled so that everyone can see them.

If you have any you can share them here.
Or copy past your essay on the subject.

I hate how op steven is but most of all I hate how much jasper jobed.

But Steven gets beat most of the time and can't really win any fights without his friends.

>There is no LGBT message in SU and no way to interpret a LGBT message.

you didn't notice all the gender bending heroes, effeminized males and lesbian kissing? oh puh-lease

Was she right?
youtube.com/watch?v=IaR8KO4VFPM

>effeminized males
are effeminized males not LGBT.
>lesbian kissing
They try and they fail.
This is what I meant under
>The message is a complete mess.
Notice that homeworld only allows fusions with the same gem type not cross type gem fusions.
This translates to homeworld being a empire where only gay relationships are allowed and fusing with others gem types is a crime.

This can be interpreted that a ruby and sappier fusion is hereto sex.
To put insult to injury:
Sappier = obvious woman
ruby = obvious men.

...

No OP we don't want to subscribe to your clickbait channel. Try again.

What episode number was that one episode where connies father beat and raped her behind the donut shop while Lars filmed? I painted my fucking com monitor with cum after that episode!

Your video sucks, OP, and you're just regurgitating generic shit we've already heard. Plus my ears hurt, so please die.

>quality show.
WRONG! Its shit!
>likable characters
WRONG! the characters are unlikable
>good voice acting
WRONG! I have seen flash series that did have better voice acting, SU has the worst voice acting of anything.
>music
Lets stop here for a second, every peace of music in SU is objectively bad and boring, the show would actually improve if they removed the music because its complete garbage on the level of some hipster farting with his shitty instrument.

I don't think I will continue watching her if she is saying these obviously wrong things.
The rest of her tumblrina shit is cringey.

I am on neither side but you're clearly baiting, all of those are opinions, not facts

>randomly shoehorned EPIC JOJO REFERENCE for no fucking reason within the first three minutes
Into the fucking trash it goes

I actually liked how Steven was written as a kid in the beginning and not as the regular mini-adult writing. That flew out the window after season 1 or 2 I guess.

Hey man say what you want about SU as a whole but don't you DARE shittalk the music

The music is terrible, how can anyone like it?

Gotta agree with the angry dude on at least one point, the music is fucking horrid. I can feel my testicles shrink just listening to it.

I like this show!

>Concrete is racist!
>Processed to call Bismuth a gorilla

You know Concrete was thought up by a black guy right?
But that's still racist somehow isn't it?
But its not racist when you do it of course.

I wouldn't even give a shit if you didn't try to act like the moral superior and act like your not racist.
Your video is shit and all you did was copy E.R.
You suck delete yourself from the internet.

Never watched it. The character designs look like ass.

>posting a literal who
>using E;R to feed your autistic hate

>how dare someone like something I don’t like
It’s called “liking but acknowledging flaws” user

Are people drawn to SU crap music or do the insane SU fan girls need to argue that everything SU is great?

Here is what I expect from my music in media:

Now tell me was this music collection extensive? And what did you think about it? Would SU improve if you included any of these songs in it?
Because the SU music can only be described under "hipster farts" terrible below elevator music.
And don't get me the budget shit they can get public domain music.

Your autistic as fuck dude.

Can you even defend SU music?
Post what great peaces of music are there in SU.

or do you only spam
"thats autistic"™
to everything you do not like?

Highly autistic post, but yeah, any show that has a decent mix of songs like such would be fine, Steven Universe is mostly out-of-place ukulele slapping coupled with high-pitched wailing about FEELINGS or overcoming adversity (Some songs like Comet are an exception).
This is better than any SU song youtube.com/watch?v=InsuBdkyoqQ

Stupid anime hommage.

Strange that you did not say:
Stupid game hommage.
why don't you post the best and most memorable music from cartoons?

>ostly out-of-place ukulele slapping coupled with high-pitched wailing
completely agree, especially that they try to use ukulele to every emotion of music.
Nice song.
It more like a musical with people singing their ideas.

Why is all this music so flat and colorless? Its like it tries to be something and ends up being a mess that can not hit higher vocal ranges, like its commingle from game boy speaker?
Why is this a audio mess?
Terrible and a failure.

Practically all SU songs are below elevator songs in quality.
mind posting other music that you think is on the same level like SU music?
I want to see what your teats in music are.

Have something that sounds better then every song in SU actual elevator music
youtu.be/xy_NKN75Jhw

I need to make a correction.
Elevator music is light years beyond the crap SU has.
Sorry everyone for insulting elevator music.
Replacing all music in SU with elevator music would improve the show.

God forbid that someone with a little darker skin ever be portrayed to be not intelligent or stupid. Because having more melanin in your skin magically makes you super intelligent even if you are 3 years old, NOT.

SU in a nutshell:
>Shit on white cis men while portraying every shitskin to be super awesome.

...

You do realize that Steven and Greg are white

also, one of the biggest assholes on the show is a shitskin

Garnet?

I can't even tell if your trolling,
Bismuth is evil as fuck while characters like Greg are loved by all.

Elevator music
>made to be relaxing
>Made not to be noticed
Still more dynamic and memorable then SU musical garbage disasters.

youtu.be/9v9-Nw4nAZg?list=RDjj0ChLVTpaA
Is a perfect replacement for
>Theme From an Endless Romance

Far more romantic and even more dynamic then whatever was there.

Even Rose looked white

>also, one of the biggest assholes on the show is a shitskin
And who is that?

>this delusion

Truly sad. Literally no argument.

Anyway, some more musickino
youtu.be/UfQY_TW3fmA

The only human character to be treated as completely irredeemable is not even white

Uncle Carl who is white and conservative meanwhile received only love

>Bismuth is evil as fuck
????
I can not decipher this sentence.
Are you literally saying she is evil?
In like space Hitler that makes the diamonds look like nothing?
In like she will show up and sharer garnet to show how evil she is?
youtu.be/PD71ip1osM4

What did he mean by this?

Even then its only really Steven who hates him because he thinks he's a jerk.

He's obviously a bad guy. I mean this psychopath had the gall to ask Stevonnie for a dance and be a dick. If I was his mom I would freak.

>Tried to kill a kid.
>Not evil.

What? She said it had been over a year since she didn't need glasses, yknow, in Indirect Kiss, not since she started training

>Post terrible of key mixture between failed game boy soundtrack and elevator music
Seriously post other songs that you think are on the same level like SU music.

I seriously want to know what your teats are.
PS: Was this song supposed to sound like it was emitted by a broken game boy mono speaker?

A shitskin who creeps on innocent women and won't take no for an answer

did Sup Forums write this episode?

>I seriously want to know what your teats are.
>teats
Oh God, I should not have laughed as hard as I did.

go back listening to your Justin Beaver

He quoted a post about concrete and started talking about bismuth.

I don't even know why?
pic related for all your child killing needs.

Im gonna assume youre EZ PZ and you made this thread to share your garbage video. Well good news buddy,your video sucks.
Also,the second video you just posted is a troll video. The channel has outright said before they actually enjoy watching SU even if they think its shit
Next bait you should actually link a good video
youtube.com/watch?v=IaR8KO4VFPM&t=2174s

Tits or GTFO

The retarded cat hands in the first commercial kept me from ever touching it. It looked like another lolz randum show that blatantly ripped off Spongebob tropes.

Lapis should just rape Steven.

kevin. right here.
Also,Andy was accepted by his family (something that triggered the tumblr fags for accepting a right-winged guy in their family) and they left a bunch of niggers on the space zoo to die.

Why are you a real life parody of yourself?

You know you wouldn't have to samefag so much if you just waited till the show came back

I wasn't the guy you were arguing with. I just thought the typo was funny.

Why should we take you seriously? Youre just saying
>hur dur the music in this show is worse than elevator music
Without giving anything to prove it. You act like every single music in key minor is only fit for elevator music, showing you dont know shit about music.
Fuck off

>kevin
Looks white
If he looks something like this call me.

>Or understand that the main hero are actually pro-hetero and fighting a empire that enforces homosexuality

So what your saying is we could destroy the shows fan base by dangling this show in front of pol/ and convincing Nazis to proudly declare it is about their beliefs?

>Without giving anything to prove it
meanwhile in the real world I link to peaces of music that are real life elevator music and also other songs.

How exactly am I suppose to prove my point to you?

Post this to all the SU tumblers and see it burn.
Its nothing special, at this point I wohuld not be surprised if Rebecca Sugar is a actually white power Nazi who is actually trolling these losers and took them for a ride.

He is dark enough for you to use him as an argument if he was portrayed positively

Why aren't black people allowed to draw a black character who looks black?
Why must he be called racist for making Concrete?

>dark enough
Na white boy only got some tan on the beach.

It's only racist because she can't read.

EVERYONE WHO LIKES STEVEN UNIVERSE IS A PINKO COMIE WEEBOO SJW FAGGOT WHO MUST BE KILLED IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP!

THEIR FAMILIES MUST BE RAPED AND TORTURED TO DEATH.

ALL THE NIGGERS MUST HAVE THEIR THROATS SLIT AT BIRTH.
ALL THE KIKES MUST BE SKINNED ALIVE AND BURN AT THE STAKE.

IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS YOU ARE A LIBERAL SJW KEK AND DESERVE TO BE STABBED IN THE THROAT REPEATEDLY UNTIL YOUR HEAD FALLS OFF, AND THEN GETTING YOUR MOUTH AND THROAT USED TO SHIT INTO!

E;R made some good points but I wouldn't really count him as a credible source considering he had so much difficulty attempting to disprove gender that he had to resort to a very poorly presented fallacy.

Imo it's gone absolutely nowhere. There are no risks because everyone will always be magically saved by deus ex machina. We will always be stuck in the main hub world and the very real danger of being miles or even light years away from home with no magical way back will never be touched upon with any real meaning. There is no sense of defeat looming because everything always turns out peachy or it eventually will. They could never do this of course, but I think, as an example, it'd be cool for Steven to wrestle with being in an inescapable setting with a human character, and the only known way to solve the issue would be to kill and revive that person. How would he deal with morality of that situation? Do the ends justify the means? They'll both die if he doesn't do anything, but does that make it ok? What if the person has to deal with the side effects for the rest of their lives? What if there's an alternative they haven't even thought of and they need to think of it in time or else suffer worse consequences than following the original plan? How would he even do it to minimize the agony? Just my neckbeard thoughts, and of course, the team doesn't cater to us or myself individually so I can't expect anything, but hopefully you can understand what I'm saying.

Also crying being the only form of negative expression should be reduced tremendously. I love this show but it's really hard to watch sometimes.

OK
so Connie is a white chick with a klingon second name cause one of the ancestors was a Trekkie

>I love this show

KILL YOURSELF YOU SUB-HUMAN PUSSY-ASS SJW KEK LIBERAL FAGGOT!

KEEP STABBING YOURSELF IN THE EYEBALLS UNTIL YOUR BRAIN IS MUSH!

Not trying to shitpost, but I dislike Steven Universe because it feels like all of the elements I disliked but was able to overlook in Adventure Time during it's hayday distilled into their own show.

It's not my cup of tea.

I don't hate people that like it though, save for the autists that take it too far. Obviously.

>I don't hate people that like

KILL YOURSELF, SJW FAGGOT KEK!

Because its the current year!
in all seriousness this shit will convince you that racism is the only way.

After all if you don't memories the millions of rules you need to follow and give chicken to a black man you are automatically racist.
Because if black men eat chicken its racist.

Also the big awakening would be if you are exposed to this leftist crap for the first time.

Tell me you are about to cos play as a power ranger what color do you select?
Black looks the best, the most mature if you ask me.
Oh what you are black yourself?
Then thats RACIST!

>It's only racist because she can't read.
Ah yes see:
>God forbid that someone with a little darker skin ever be portrayed to be not intelligent or stupid. Because having more melanin in your skin magically makes you super intelligent even if you are 3 years old, NOT.

Every nigger needs to be portrayed to be a professor and shit.
lets ignore the fact that the majority of humans in history did not have the ability to read or write regardless of their skin color and that today you also have people who are can not read.

How did you become like this? did you attend some special seminar where you where told what is racist and what is not? Because everyone can see how retarded this is since you get idiots in all skin colors.

Do you now understand why you made racism to be literally the truth and reality and anti-racism denying reality?
You filthy regressive peace of leftist shit?

I agree. Stephen Universe sucks nigger dicks

Everyone who likes it must hav their throat slit and the throat wound fucked, until they choke to death on the blood and semen!

love you too bae

Seriously dude look at pictures of "white people", they are actually orange colored in reality.
And because we never did get to see Kevin in normal light (last time he was purple) he looks white and you can find people you classify to be white IRL who look like this.

Don't forget his magic powers that conviently come to rescue his sorry ass many of the times he's in trouble.

same light, same skin tone

why do you want to rape and murder white children so much?

>what made you dislike Steven Universe

I liked it at first, thought it was cute. All my friends liked it back in high school and they were all cute. It was a cute show.

Then I got a taste of the fanbase, which drove me away pretty fast, but again, I still thought it was a cute show and that fanbases don't always represent their product.

Then I slowly began to hate the show once I learned it was more and more politically charged than I originally thought. I wasent just a cute innocent show, but a cutesy show with an agenda.

I tried talking to people about it but that got be assblasted by the fans, which made my hate for it worse.

Then I watched E;Rs rant and I pretty much just made fun of the show after that. I like the songs and cute atheistic of the show, but I hate everything it's about.

Then I watched robbobuddies SU Rant, which comes from the perspective of someone who likes the show. And I found someone new who I like to watch because of it.

At the end of the day, I don't like it because it has a Fuckton of flaws and the fans refuse to acknowledge any of them, because they are all trash.

>if you're not a racist then you're a she

You people are fucking insane.

I think people will only acknowledge the flaws in this show long after it ends.

I hate how they ditched the concept of every gem having a weapon:

First it was:
>"Gems has the abilities to produce an inner weapon with their light, the weapon fighting style also goes with the personality of the respective gem".
>"In case a gem weapon gets destroyed, the gem can just form another".
Then
>"Not every gem comes with weapons, but a maid gem does because plot reasons".
And then they finished with.
>"I'm Bismuth, it is me the one who did everyone's weapons, cus every gem weapon get made by my race, even Amethyst's somehow".

You missunderstood the latter part.
Bismuth caste are the buiders, i.e. architects. That one CG Bismuth decided to make weapons after she decided to rebel.

Other than that, I think they actually fleshed out the concept. Every gem potentially has the ability to summon a weapon but that ability has to be honed in order to accomplish it. What Bismuth was doing was basically giving the gems training wheels.

Yes

>Then I slowly began to hate the show once I learned it was more and more politically charged than I originally thought.
Was there a point where the propaganda increased or did you realise it in retrospect?

I think I give my perspective.
I'm a right wing guy and I haired about
>Zomg you guyz there is this show full of LGBT and its corrupting the kids!

So because I'm obsessed like this do to my political views
I was going to sit down and watch this show to know what is going on.

So I did sit down and started watching it and the show was in S2 at this point.
Oh boy, from the start it was terrible and retarded and idiotic.

Steven in unlikable and this episode sums up this entire disaster:
dailymotion.com/video/x3joxb5
Cheeseburger Backpack, basically the fat fuck has one task to bring the statue and he is distracted with everything else and it ends up exactly like you expect.
He fuck up.

This is basically early Steven, episodes like Frybo show exactly this fat retard for what he is.
>is told to watch out for gem shards
>is not listening to his mom/guardian
>do to this a horrific monster is created

Cat fingers is the same.
There is no LGBT only some fat idiot being stupid with bizarre undertones of disgusting horror that is actually traumatizing.
Mixed with the sickly pastel coloring and bizarre obsession with food the show feels wrong.

There is nothing interesting in the show, I'm forcing myself threw more episodes.
With time I get so sick of this shit that I start googlin "plot relevant episodes of SU" and find only fangirlys shit like
>all SU episodes are relevant.
Or lists that in retrospect are retarded, I don't give a shit in what episode he gets his pink scooter or his lion its meaningless equipment.

So I watch this cringe fest and i have to say that like E;R only after Jasper arrives and Peridot lands is the show even because watchable it has even a plot instead faggot characters doing meaningless shit I don't give a crap about.

The early episodes where pure shit.
I think after Peridot wrapped it up with some explanations (finally, praise the maker) things got interesting.

[tbc]

How can someone describe the early episodes as watchable is beyond me and you need to explain it.

Kind of, the music is bad like always, the episodes have some plot and they dialed up the:
>Steven is a retard that you must hate and he fucks up do to his retardation
that was the formula for practically every episode.

However you get plot episodes in between of pointless unwatchable shit like
onion gang
and
future boy zoltron

It's barely watchable the plot is laughable and even only redeemable with the fact how stage it is see the zoo where the zoomans are a strange idea.

A definitive no watch especially that the world will bend over backwards to reset and allow Steven to return to earth by giving him resurrection powers where his zombie now can create portals to lion and he is going back to earth for more horse shit meaningless episodes.

Also the trial is a mixture of so stupid its funny where the trial ends with the diamonds fighting and in this sissy fight the humans run away.

Can someone explain to me what makes this show interesting? Especially the garbage S1?

>How can someone describe the early episodes as watchable is beyond me and you need to explain it.
AAwwww shit this part was supposed to go at the ending I suck at copy pasting.
Disregard this statement it will only confuse you

????
Bismuth weapons and summoned weapons are 2 completely different things.
look the breaking point and the pink sword are Bismuth weapons they don't require a gem sustaining them.
Also Bismuth weapons are far more powerful then summon weapons.

When did they state that every gem needs to have a weapon?
Sounds like you are obsessed with your crazy fanon.

I get annoyed whenever a character starts gushing over humans, because with few exceptions, this show doesn't have any humans in it. It has some docile offshoot with important human traits like curiosity stripped out because the writers don't want to take 30 seconds out of a townie episode to answer any of the basic questions the show's premise raises. This problem extends to the setting. They've created an alt-history where aliens invaded earth and left behind tons of things, but they never do anything with it. Humanity isn't allowed to even acknowledge it unless a gem is present. The show tells you to care about its humans, while making most of them dumb shallow gags and showing the gems to be vastly superior as characters and as a species.

Also, the few things gem influence did change (no WW2, no religions, Russia destroyed) serve no purpose in the story. Like the creators were just scrubbing out parts of the world they disliked, which is petty and a bit creepy.
