Would steven universe be better if Steven had a clear goal?

Steven has goals but they tend to be episodic based. If Steven had a main ridged goal, maybe the story wouldn't be all over the place

It would be better if it didn't take half a year to release 4 episodes each.

The clear goal is to stop Homeworld from wanting to mess with the Earth. They've taken steps to curtail Homeworld from doing things, but in doing so they have also opened up other reasons for Homeworld to get involved. One door closed, more doors opened.

The show would be a lot better without Steven desu

waifufags like this guy are probably the primary reason this show's fanbase is so shit

Implying you need to be a waifufag to think Steven is a shit character. It should have been about Greg Murdercock and his space faring harem of rock aliens, like what Lars of the stars is turning out to be.

should have just made the show about the gem war itself. this is fucking boring

>unironically liking haremshit
Kill yourself, filthy faggot

desu the show would be better if it was about lars's space adventures

>Dacryphilia

It's only harem"shit" if it's not a real harem and just a bunch of different girls trying for the MC's cock but don't want to share him with eachother.

The show would be better if it was about the gems being prostitutes

this t.bh
he's just an annoying character all around but I can't put my finger on why. maybe it's his voice or something idk

Steven needs a male figure that isnt' a loser to look up to.

he fucks up everything and most of the bad things in the show are because of him

It's not even that, you can make a good show out of complete fuckups all the time. It's because he's just a whiny little cunt and no one ever tries to help him be better, they just enable his bullshit.

But that's Greg. And before you call him a loser, remember he's rich, fucked gem rebel leader and cucked not the eorst but also not the best gem

>Steven fucks everything up
His mother has made most of the huge dumb decisions. And Steven is always having to deal with and fix the gems personal problems, he's always having to handle things on his own now because the gems are so fucking retarded.

my question is why the fuck rose thought it would be a good idea to even have a kid. the CGs rely on her so if she goes theyre fucked, greg cant take care of him because he lives in a fucking van, he'll grow up without a mom which will fuck him up, and on top of that he has weird alien powers. like, does adoption not exist?

Rose did it because Rose does what she wants and noone can stop her.

I think SU would really benefit with having an actual villain(s). The whole "there are no clear villains" thing is stupid.

I hope they drop that stupid rule when they introduce White Diamond. I want her to be the Darkseid of SU.

Yes, Steven Universe would be better if Steven wanted to become Hokage.

before zach started doing the falsetto thing, the voice was a little weird but it worked and wasn't too annoying. Season 2 he started to falsetto some but it was subtle enough to not be a problem. Somewhere in season 3 he apparently really felt like he had to pitch up and it became more noticeable in a bad way, and in season 4 it's both excessive levels of falsetto AND his line delivery often sounds unnatural, like he's doing a parody of the character

...

She's a fucking alien, how would you expect her to know anything of human psycology? It's like you having a child with a wolf or something and basing all your parenting on what you know as a human, it would fuck it up irreparably.

his goal should be to cure the corrupted gems so they at least have some more gempower to try to stand against homeworld. They've made homeworld out to be such an overwhelming force (in how they talk about them, not so much by what they've shown), that even with all of steven's bullshit powers they don't really have any logical path to stopping them once they eventually realize the cluster isn't going to hatch

although, based on what he's learned as of the beginning of season 5, I guess he has a more concrete and realistic goal of trying to figure out what happened to Pink Diamond, so he can show Blue and get her to help prevent earth from being destroyed

She wanted a child and wanted to be a mother.
How dare you to deny her that you sexist pig?

I have to admit that a lot of fan concepts are better than what we have imo

Anything with Connie involved isn't good.

I am still mad the show pretends to have any sort of internal logic about it.

>you can't take ronaldo along on missions because he's just a weak human
>but you can take a 12 year old along

BE CONSISTENT DAMMIT

Do you think she's wearing any panties under that skirt or is she going fully commando

Connie's an exception because she Steven's gf and Pearl likes projecting onto her.

>she Steven's gf
Shut up, Ronaldo.

no shit. the fans have better art and writing than the damn show

I thought that was just an excuse to get Ronaldo to piss off. He also didn't have sword training, if that means anything.
Still really dumb they gave a 12 year old sword training.

Just popping by to check, but is this show dead? Last new episodes were like half a year ago and I've heard zero news about new ones.

6 DAYS

Until?

So is Sugar going to bring this baby in for a landing or just circle the block a few more times?

NYCC, best case scenario we get something new. Worst case we get Lars of the Stars again.

i hope to god someone brings up concrete again. that was fucking gold last time

is he right?
youtube.com/watch?v=wlzl0gUdb3I

Oh, so we're just waiting on maybe getting some news about maybe getting some new episodes sometime in the future?

no, but she is
youtube.com/watch?v=IaR8KO4VFPM

Basically, yeah.

A little but not much.

The slice of life has appeal to me even if others fail to appreciate it. Plus it makes intense episodes with major consequences seem that much more exciting.

Seeing Lars's limp body land neck first onto a rock still gives me half a chill.

Steven isn't given any rules until he fucks something up, and then the only rule is to just not do that again.

We will see about that soon enough. Season 5 is supposeddly a murder mystery,so if steven has the goal of solving her murder then he will have a goal.

absolutely our gal

That was fucking nothing you dumb SUfag

How the fuck are Steven and Gems supposed to beat this bitch?

>Seeing Lars's limp body land neck first onto a rock still gives me half a chill.
Too bad they weren't even allowed to extend his death for more than 3 seconds before Steven healed him.

And Steven's reaction was so lame. He's had heavier reactions over things less important than him witnessing someone's death. He's cried so much that I can't even take his tears seriously anymore.

I haven't watched this but from what I've heard isn't it just the same shit people have already complained about? Why are people giving this video so much positive attention when the fandom and everyone's mom seems to dislike tons of things about the show.

everyone on earth will do the cha-cha slide and then fuse

Your accomplishments don't mean shit if you still act like a loser.

Blue Diamond Redemption.

Connie was trained by Pearl who has thousands of years of combat experience, and it wasn't initially so she could join in on missions.

Ronaldo was a saboteur, only getting in the way and not willing to improve.

I honestly think Steven's character is pretty well-written, it could help for him to be less annoying though.

Connie is 12

People like the video because those are good points nonetheless.

She's a child deuteragonist in a children's cartoon. That makes her several tiers more competent than most of the other characters in the show.

God, I'm terrified that her reveal will be disappointing.

I don't know which show you've been watching, but the gems have been shown on dozens of occasions now to be irresponsible caretakers. I'm not saying it's right to take Connie on missions, I'm only explaining why they wouldn't take Ronaldo.

It's steven, it's disappointing by nature.

With the power of love of course

It would basically be the new panned Inhumans show: an aloof nonhuman community of powerful entities with no humanizing connection to the main world. I pray you never get to actually make a show.

That art makes no sense, why the fuck would you put gems in her armour? That wouldn't even do anything.

According to Frybo, the armour itself could be sentient with gem power, including Connie is pointless. Are those gems Ruby and Sapphire? That entire picture is retarded

Earth can defend themselves of Homeworld . Homeworld was defeated centuries ago, again 10 years ago.

Maybe the armor is perfected and can be channel gem power. Maybe it is R and S. You're thinking too hard about a concept that won't happen

the second half of the video is the usual rehashed complaints, but the first half goes into detail about how the actual directing of the show is mediocre using some basic knowledge of composition

really its largely a matter of too much of the show's creative direction being handed off to newbie boarders. Rebecca probably thinks they'll grow as show artists this way but I wonder if they wouldn't learn more by just following the direction of someone more experienced instead of flailing around trying to do their own thing while staying on schedule

they weren't "defeated", they just got so pissed off that they decided to obliterate the planet rather than colonize it (with the excessive incubation time of the Cluster being kind of a huge plot convenience)

although i would bet money that part of the purpose of the cluster is to make sure there's no evidence left of what happened to Pink

Because Rose wanted to infect the gene pool with engineered dna. She knew she and her cronies couldn't save anyone so she made Steven. A hybrid that can use human mass to gain power and whose bodily fluids can make humans into immortals.

This. We need a time skip to save his fucking vocal cords.

Ronaldo is a huge faggot. The gems are just worried he'll screw up steven even more.

more like... no evidence there ever was a pink.

I was watching that video. It's annoying as fuck when the guy uses those fucking audio effects, but I was really shocked by those Ed Edd and Eddy porn fanarts by Rebecca Sugar, lol.

I really miss his S1 voice. The shit we have now sounds whiny as fuck.
I guess that comes along with Steven becoming an overpowered pussy lately

>liking the season 1 voice where it sounded like he had a cheeseburger in his mouth at all times

I'd agree with that back in season one, but he came into his own eventually.

I like Steven post-character development, but I wish that the whole show didn't have to be told strictly from his perspective.

Give the gems their own standalone misadventures with each other.

he's a fucking fat kid, not a scene kid

Way better than the other video posted.

I agree.

>A galaxy conquering race
>created by a drunk scientist trying to make trippy crystals

A thong

Rose is an alien and was curious about the concept of human love. And she fails to realize that its a chemical reaction that causes humans to breed.

And like all single parent stories, it was a horrible decision long term.

>Greg must raise child alone.
>gems are left leaderless.

There IS kind of a main goal, which is avoiding HW at all costs.

Steven and the CG kinda suck at that goal, honestly.

we dont even need a time skip, if he just aged up to his ACTUAL FUCKING CANON AGE, zach could use his regular voice and it would be fine

by magical growth spurt, that is, which has already been well established as something that could happen at any time

No, Greg would still be there, he would be that fat middle-aged millionaire who lives in a van.

Steven Universe would be better without gays and Steven would be better if he weren't written like an overdramatic idiot

> was curious about the concept of human love.

Incorrect...

Rose Quartz was obsessed with the concept of change, self-improvement, and metamorphosis which she perceived in the cycles of growth and decay experienced by the organic lifeforms of Earth. She wanted to experience it for herself...

That's the reason why she made Steven. Hell, I'm fairly certain she all but explicitly admits it at one point...

I'd like the show better if they stopped drawing everyone so off model all the time.
Either stop using storyboards for your keyframes or get some decent boarders.

pic related isn't even the most egregious example.

This is a shame.

Or you could have it be him when he was young and he’s be that Cool Rocker Kid Who works with a bunch of super powerful but semi-socially inept Magical Girls to help save the world from monsters and aliens.

>Implying Steven is a good Humanizing connection
>Implying the Removal of Steven wouldn’t include another important Human Character, like Greg, taking his screen time.

This, White Diamond needs to be full on irredeemably evil.

I'd rather Steven get bigger than Connie. Steve should be taller than Connie by the end of the series.

yes

you are like a child
youtube.com/watch?v=j38aX4JxINQ

what if Ronaldo took up firearms and/or skeet-shooting, and they had a balanced and fair episode discussing firearms whereby the rational is that "guns are dangerous but a necessary right that can be exercised by adults in a responsible manner, guns are cool but that doesn't mean they're for everyone, and can easily hurt people"

>it would get banned in the UK and Australia and you'd see official apologies on Twitter
meanwhile swords are uncontroversial

I love Lapis, Lapis my daughter and me
