Finally an animated series made for both halves of my brain

[–] franklin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would legitimately binge this shit out of a crossover series.

CAUSE WE ARE THE CRYSTAL TEENS

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I watched the show up until Stephen Universe Future and here is my take:

Technically, they're not female or male, and technically they often appear to swing both ways, although any sexual relations are purely speculation to begin with, including the conception of Stephen as it is entirely plausible Stephen's mom created him asexually.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

They are hard light projections. Their physical bodies are their gemstones. They are genderless, female presenting, sentient space rocks who reproduce via the various bodily secretions of their supreme diamond leaders.

Where White Diamond comes from is a true mystery, but I like to think of her like the Monolith. The creation of a long gone organic species that wanted to seed the universe with life. Only white was a bit more zealous for inorganic life forms than simple organic life.

As for Steven, it can be assumed, since the gems can shape shift their hard light projection forms, that Rose shape shifted a functioning human female reproductive system centered around her actual gemstone. Which Greg then proceeds to impregnate.

But it's whatevs. I'm a big Steven Universe fan. Free therapy. Never had a cartoon make me cry more than that show.

Remember everyone, things can be therapeutic but only therapy can be therapy

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

That was my theory too - the Gems are a von Neumann probe, created by a possibly-gone species.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Where White Diamond comes from is a true mystery

White Diamonds came from Elizabeth Taylor.

I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.

(the other is Land of the Lustrous)

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I know of a few others but I don't plan to nerd out on you.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 14 points 2 months ago

This is phenomenal, best shit I've seen all day and now I need a special of just Carl getting transported through all the cartoon network shows.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 12 points 2 months ago

"I ain't saying there's nothing wrong with that. I am down with the Lesbians!"

But uhhh, you keep saying some shit about not being women but hippy dippy light, I am pretty sure that big one is just two midgets stacked on top of each other and the little guy over here keeps saying he is his own mother or some shit."

I know who Carl is, but not the other characters... I'm old.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Seven universe. Good show.

[–] plant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Way better than eight universe, imho

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

If it's box related I doubt it, that said. Shit yeah, Steven my bad.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Ehhhh. I don't recommend unless you're below the age of 16. It starts as a cool show. Almost has like gayer lesbian DBZ vibes but really falls off in it's tone and writing later. No problem is solved realistically and it's all hugs magic and sparkles in the end.

Avatar did conflict resolution far better

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

If we're judging kids shows based on Avatar we'll always be let down.

It's a different things entirely and did well at what it tried, no the story isn't great from start to end but if you take it as chapters it's not horrible.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it's problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person's traits as a solution to differences.

Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you're being shown it from his eyes.

This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn't as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.

Lovely show

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I liked the jasper arc. I felt how that played out was really deep for a kids show. Every other conflict with a major character falls flat.

Steven's weird racist uncle was voiced by Dave Willis, aka Carl.

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This could be entirely made up and I would not know just because it's been so long since I've watched SU And I'm sure he's like a tertiary tertiary character And also I don't think I watched past ... I don't know they were out at a barn for a while. Multiple episodes with green inventor. Bad guy turned good guy? Anyway

That being said, I assume this is n't made up and I feel like I want to watch this episode with my eyes closed.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Carl deserves the chance to ruin those annoying little shits lol

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I would watch this show but it needs some kind of overarching plot where at the beginning of the episode he's in a space ship that pulls up to each world and he gets beamed down or something.
