Because of the fauxmosexuals who obsess over how GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY they are and their lesbian rocks which is totally, like, almost like they kin with them?
To be honest another gripe I've had as a geology guy is the intrusion of thess CalArts doodles into my Google searches for rocks or gemstones that share a name with an SU character.
Steven always reminded me of Shinji Ikari if Shinji’s default temperament was being loud with a bean mouth smile.
Well, when Stevonnie first appeared you could just chalk that up to first time fusion and then maybe they’d receive development over time. But admittedly, Stevonnie devolved into a walking plot device to have Connie and Steven talk to each other and then just an LGBT mascot later on. Which is a shame considering how the crew stressed that fusions were their own unique characters.
Well, that’s actually how the original series started and finished. Steven was originally the bumbling kid sidekick who mostly made jokes and had to unfuck the mess of the week he made. As the stakes got higher, Steven took things more seriously, had to learn how to empathize with his enemies but also learn that not everyone wants to be saved, helping others go through their problems, and becoming a better leader than his mother was. Then Future came along and turned him into Shinji Ikari with a bean mouth.
Also this. If the Gems were straight or had no explicit sexuality, the show would have been canned after season 1. Both the staff and fans can be disgustingly transparent that representation is all they really want from this show.
Who would win in a fight- Shepard, or "Shep"?
why is this even a question?
Depending on how you look at it, Shepard is also "nonbinary". I personally prefer femShep myself, but plenty of others prefer "him" as a dude.
It’s hard to think of a sci-for civilization that doesn’t curbstomp the gems. The best pieces of tech they’ve shown off are FTL travel and tractor beams, which are standard issue on even the most cartoony flying saucer.
Marvin the Martian could kick their asses. He could blow Earth just for obstructing his view of Venus, that means he has Death Star tier weaponry at his disposal. Besides, he can be competent depending on the incarnation (I remember the Duck Dodgers cartoon version of him being quite threatening, tho of course he was still constantly made a fool out of)
From what I've seen it's largely an incredibly autistic "who could beat who" discussion, in this case it's about which alien races could take over and/or wipe out the Gem Empire.
The Crystal Gems should've let him work his Universe magic on Blue Diamond. He could've become the God Emperor of Homeworld eventually.
Yeah there’s nothing wrong with liking dark works but by that same token there’s nothing wrong with enjoying things that are lighter and inspirational. With SU, it’s comparable to Superman and Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel; you take an optimistic and idealistic franchise and make it more morose and dreary to make it seem deep and appeal “older audiences”.
Yeah as someone mentioned earlier, while some works benefit from not revealing too much about its world, SU has no benefits for doing so.
He learned from his mama
