How do you guys feel about Steven Universe? Do you like/ hate it? Did you want to like it and tumblr/its fandom ruin it for you?

No. 78442

The show gets kind of preachy with the morals sometimes, also the characters cry a little to much to be just a kids show, but out of that, it's okay, not "zomg best show evah", but just okay, nothing special.
Tumblr is another story and when you get down to it, the community in that site ruins everything and I mean everything so… Meh, after the Zamii drama I would like to think I've seen everything that tumblr can spawn from it's bowels. Let's hope they don't succeed in killing anyon.

I watched the first episode. It's utter shit. What, am I supposed to fawn over the bright colours, the fat characters and the fact that whoopi goldberg over there has a brit accent?

No. 78518

I like SU. Too bad tumblr ruined it for other people who will now never give it a chance, but isn't that what tumblr does best?

No. 78611

Although I thought SU weird and scary (the fusion cat thingy on season 1, zomg that's horrifying), but I quite like it. I don't like the fandom though, they are full of SJWs and tends to attack anyone who slightly mention 'skinny' for Rose Quartz and Amethyst's appearance.

No. 78612

I like SU, but I'm not thay crazy about Steven as a character. Or Connie for that matter. I'm not sure why.

No. 78616

I don't have a tv so my knowledge is limited to the discussions I see online…judging by that, it seems insufferable.
I saw that true life episode with that fat cosplayer who thought he could lose weight by sitting under bright lamps—his group decided to cosplay the show. I think it's the sum of things related to the show that are so off putting to me.

No. 78620

I recently watched episode 1 after months of my friends giving me shit for not watching it. (They wouldn't take "It's not my thing" as a valid answer). I hated it. When I told them I didn't like it, they god mad, saying "you didn't watch enough of it". I have nothing against people who like it, but I really wish my friends would stop harassing me about it.

No. 78629

yep, sounds like your friends have joined the crazy fandom. the show is just okay to me though, (inb4 no1curr) i still prefer gravity falls over steven universe.

No. 78646

It looks like it was made specifically for the screaming side of tumblr, by the always screaming side of tumblr.

No. 78652

the fandom seems awful so it's putting me off to watching it. Also, it seems to have somehow merged with the gravity falls fandom wich was a bit less bad.

Omg i know right, some of the fangirls can't differentiate gravity falls and steven universe. well they do look similar, but not similar enough to be mistaken with each other.

> Did you want to like it and tumblr/its fandom ruin it for you?
Why does an awful fandom ruin a potentially good show for anyone? Where you just watching it so you could talk about how much you like it to others? Shows aren't accessories, you can like something and avoid discussion/the fanbase.

No. 78665

I think the show is kind of refreshing compared to other shows. It has the same artsy formula as Adventure Time and those zany shows, but with a developing story.

I think it's a pretty good show for kids and it's also entertaining for adults who like cartoons.

I do not participate in any fandom discussion or post fanart, the fandom is too full of entitled 15 year olds who are just learning how to use free speech.

No. 78669

Adults should not watch children's shows.

No. 78670

Me too, I stay away from the fandom because they are basically toxic. Even the creators called them out on the fandom's fuckery (the Zamii) drama.

I remember. Do you remember that there was an outcry against the creators when they said that? That they encouraged fat erasure and whatnot because they told their fans to stop bullying people who drew x characters skinny or whatever?

Why do you like to infantilize yourself?

No. 78693

>>78683
Oooh yeah I remember it too. The fandom's insufferable-ness increases like ten folds at that time, especially Tumblr. Like…why was it such a big thing? They don't protest when skinny characters are drawn with bigger or 'real body' because they claim it's an artist's freedom, why doing the opposite is any different? Even the creators don't complain.

- a neckbeard who probably religiously watches moe anime

Anyway, I think show is pretty nice, the sort of show I wish was around when I was a kid. The art and color schemes are really well done. Quite a few sequences are blatantly lifted from anime (i.e. the swordfight scene with Holo-pearl was exactly one swordfight scene from Utena),but hey, cultural exchange or whatever. It kind of feels like they're pandering more and more to their grown up nerd audience as time goes by, and I'm not sure how to feel about that. It's overall a decent show, with good worldbuilding, art, and developing story.

No offense, but we don't need negative people like you here. You're not only shallow, but stupid. What you said is objectively incorrect, and the fact that you don't understand that proves you have a very basic understanding of the world around you.

Either that or you're trolling. I pray you're trolling. Though, with the recent wave of r9k MUH DIK morons and tumblerinas, that's a tall order.

Just out of curiosity, do you think comics are all for children too? Do you think all cartoons are for children and when they contain things of substance or so called "adult" themes, then there's a smokescreen which automatically prevents people from
seeing or hearing the substance?

Personally, I think the wisest book in the world brings less to the mind of an idiot that the dumbest tv show to the mind of a genius. So a truly intelligent person could come up with better ideas and overanalyse the shit out of dora the explorer while you're still going to be a pretentious twat, after reading ulysses instead

I hated Steven at first, I could barely stand watching the show because of him

But then I watched the whole thing through once more and kind of learned to appreciate him, but he's definitely not one of my favorite characters

I actually really like the show, it's one of my favorites, and I think it has some great ideas.

I'm not in the fandom, though. tumblr fandoms are nearly always trash. I completely gave up on it when I heard they nearly drove a kid to suicide over fucking fan art.

No. 79112

I've watched a bunch of it but I can't get over how awkward the characters are. It's like they all have autism. Nice animation and character designs though.

No. 79117

>>79109
I really want to watch SU when I see all the cute gif sets of hear friends talking about the relationships between the gems, but I just couldn't get over what a gross piece of shit Steven is. I'll need to try again.
