>>87889240
Because it's different from the "LULSORANDOM" BS that we have been getting for years. It's not perfect but, fuck it, it's still better than most anything else on CN at the moment.

Adventure Time is a show that lost sight of its purpose by people determined to make it 2deep4u, TTG and PPG are shows that murdered, then raped the corpse of its predecessor's and is now wearing a patchwork coat of the originals skins. Clarence is the adventures of Autisty McAutistface.

In a sea of shit, we actually have something that is pretty good, so people are latching onto it like a tic... That, plus it helps that the characters are mostly likable, the episodes are consistantly good (Not always great, but always at least watchable) and they are trying to build a bigger universe. It's kinda like what Ward was trying to do with Adventure Time before he left it to other people who forgot that the show was supposed to be fun.

People will make threads, talk about it, like it and you will claim that you are proud to be outside, when you are fixed in the need to be inside.

It's subjective, of course, but people are drawn to it and it simply seems very well done.

There's loads of pretty nice illustrators, animators, designers, or generally people just reblogging pretty or nice things. There's tumblr blogs for any interest. Porn tumblrs, MGTOW and white supremacy tumblrs, too.

I mean tumblr has more blogs than the United States has citizens. You can choose to hang around the radfem sjw cliques and follow their interactions and discourse, or you can go find whatever it is that interests you. Sure a lot of it is dumbass teenagers being intense about meaningless shit like only teenagers can, but you can just not click "follow" and you won't see their shit.

Putting "they're all girls" on the same level as Sonic and pony OCs is ridiculous.
And ironically, the fact that gems of the same species look all the same makes it even harder to make OCs as more characters are revealed.

Just like AT, the premise of SU is great. A little kid with untapped magical powers lives at home with 3 magical women. The 3 main gems have cool designs. Steven had the potential to be adorable. Great color palettes and backgrounds, very intriguing storyline and lots of questions that were worth answering. What happened to Steven's mother? What's the deal with the gems and what's their mission?

It could have been a great show but it took every wrong turn it could take. Steven is annoying as fuck. Instead of focusing on adventure and the cool gems being cool it decided to focus on the background humans (who gives a shit, really?) and more pointless stuff. Even the drama is poorly handled.

Either way I don't know who to blame when shows turn out like this. It's very likely not Sugar's fault - or at least not entirely hers. Maybe they had too little time to develop a story, or they just hired the wrong people. Who knows.

It answered all of those questions though.

>Steven is annoying as fuck. Instead of focusing on adventure and the cool gems being cool it decided to focus on the background humans (who gives a shit, really?) and more pointless stuff.

It seem like maybe you gave up on the show early on, because Steven has turned out to be one of the better characters on the show. Strong when he needs to be but still relatively vulnerable and realistic. Early on he was annoying and useless, but growing out of those traits was part of his character development. I'll agree with the background human criticism though. The sheer amount of human focused episodes we've been getting combined with the fucked airing schedule has started to kill my interest too.

I still love the show, but I feel like it lost it sense of pathos. Until Season 1, you could immerse yourself in the town, speculate about characters like Lapis, be excited to get new info about the gems, and go "OH SHIT" every time the homeworld gems appeared. Now the aura is mystery is gone, the townies are obnoxious filler, the new characters are walking memes, the adventurous feel of the show was drowned in unsubtle relationship episodes, and even Homeworld doesn't feel that scary anymore after the Yellow Giraffe thing.
They need to up their game, Steven Universe is good because it has SoL AND magic adventures, you can't just take away half of the formula in the middle of the show.


On an unrelated note, pic related is still going on and it's cringey and annoying as fuck.

So what. It does not do a good job with its serialized-format. Way too many filler episodes, they spend to much time telling and not showing or giving little hints to the audience, or making shit up as they go. The show's plot itself isn't anything too amazing it has your stock "villain needs to take over the world". Fucking MLP does better with its arch and ongoing plots, the first two episode of MLP give you a good idea as to how this world works same thing can be said about the original Avatar. What pisses me off is that deep down there is a really good story there, why not have certain seasons show the war between the good and bad gems, like a big civil war battle a la 1985's North and South.
>>87889391
I actually like the animation, it isn't "fantastic". At worst its your stock "on model" sitcomy kind of animation. At its best its highly expressive and can have actual good timing, as well as having a good understanding of perspective while trying to make sure the camera just stay still while the characters walk across, a practice that most show including this one are known for. Some of the best episodes in my opinion are: The Uncle Grandpa one and the one were they parody DBZ because thats one the animation becomes highly expressive and exaggerated making forcing the animators and the voice actors really give their all, ands thats when the show really shines, because its then when it realizes its a cartoon and tries to have a lot of fun with it.
Also, I know this sounds like a lot, but I can just say, NO MORE FUCKING CRYING, its so self-indulgent and totally distracts from everything. I don't care about a characters problems. Its like watching Evangelion or reading Elliot Rodger's manifesto (practically the same thing). At first you feel bad for that whiny angsty kid, but then that sympathy grows into a seething hatred and then you no longer like that kid, you just want to shove his whiny ass into a locker to shut him up.

No.
If you mean it in the internet tough guy lingo, then it can mean just about anything, but in the core meaning it denotes authoritarian crybullies who demand what they define as universal equality and somesuch.
If you look at their demands, they want the impossible and they actually push racist, sexist attitudes against whites and men, straight people etc.
This includes that men are basically to defer to women in all things, if you're a white dude you basically don't have the right to public speech unless you ask permission first, anyone within a marginalised group gets to be coddled...
It's an unholy structure derisively labeled "oppression stack" because it's basically a hierarchy with disabled black lesbians with mental issues who have been raped at the very top. They won't admit it, but in practice that's how it goes. The more marginalised you are, the more people need to cater to you.
People who were part of that ideology have described lovebombing, collective shaming, systematic alienation from outsiders... Basically cult behavior.
The whole thing is underpinned by feminist academia, which has produced this insane ideology and pushed it aggressively. And they are basically conducting purges against dissenters in their ranks who don't agree with their insanity.
Which is why there is an increasing amount of backlash against this. Online and otherwise.
>>
>>87893903
SJW's hate anything that tells people to stop something that they could spend valuable time complaining about.

If Genocide stops then they have no reason to exist. It's pretty much like Batman constantly going outside to drive people insane just so he has someone to stop to feel good about himself.

I fucking hate the SU fandom so much, I really do. You fags are so narcissistic. "Muh show has one good thing going for it, its automatically the best thing since sliced bread now."

Oh, are you ever the lucky one.
But yes, these people do exist.
And they are pretty active on tumblr.
Also student protests. You find that ideology all over those.

>>87895742
isn't it a bit of a ridiculous technicality to differentiate "currently airing" and "ongoing"? The difference is only there to add to your shitty point. even if SU really was the only western animated show with an ongoing plot, why would that make it automatically good? lots of shows are both shitty and have an ongoing plot. doesn't prove shit, not a substantive point whatsoever.

>Now the aura is mystery is gone
This is usually the best time to raise the stakes or introduce a new goal or threat, but every time that happens in SU it gets resolved in one episode.
>>
>>87895605
You don't need to like it.
But people value it for the characters, the aforementioned story, the music, the art direction, the message of it.
That's not one thing, that's all it is.
And they are called fans for a reason. If you don't think it's awesome you're not a fan.

Why is this show so excellent in literally all fronts?

Its cozy and cute without being super-childish (ala TTG). Plus the gems are humanoid so the r34 doesn't disgust everyone away.

THIS, SO MUCH THIS.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, the Jasper's first appearance ruined the show for me. First, Peridot was hyped up as a villain, only to turn out to be Jasper's crony. Then Jasper is hyped up to be a bigger and badder villain, only to be revealed to be a jobber who gets her ass handed to her by her ex-rapey buddy. Like seriously?? This didn't piss ANYONE off except me? Or is it only because the entire fandom was too busy fapping to Jasper and Lapis? Despite the fact they were both put on the back burner, for like, 8 episodes or some shit afterwards, only for us to be presented with filler, er, "townie", episodes? They give us an eventful episode every 8 and everyone acts like its the best thing ever, when in reality its just a bone being tossed at us while the writers figure out how to drag on the story longer. Wouldn't be shocked if they're making up everything as they go along, as lots of cartoons are written that way. Most shows have multiple writers so its not one clarified story planned out til the end. That's sorta the reason WHY there's so few western cartoons with ongoing plots, cuz it rarely works.

Not every villain has to be a scary end boss.

And, as you seem to want this to be a Jump-style shonen, you can think of Jasper and Peridot as Vegeta and Nappa.

Actually Trump is steeped in outrage culture and very much the same hyperbolic antics, just in another direction.

>>87896670
Jasper seemed like such a major threat, though. It just felt like such a letdown to be introduced to the series' first villain only for her to be thrown on the back burner IMMEDIATELY. A series is shit without a good antagonist. I stopped watching awhile ago, but I honestly cannot name one good/competent villain from the show who isn't a jobber or doesn't do anything.
>>
>>87896623
Nappa and Vegeta didn't get BTFO in the first episode or two they appeared in, it took an amount of time as long as SU has been running to deal with them, and almost free of filler.

This is a waifufag show, and there is nothing wrong with that really, except a lot of SU fans seem to have it in their head that its more than that and thus the best cartoon ever, and dismiss shows with entirely different appeal like TLH or SvTFOE as waifu shows even though they can be just as entertaining. Look at this thread or any other thread, just SU fans posting their waifu making a wacky face, you don't see actual screencaps of the cartoon or fight scenes. Most of it is just forgettable pish posh.

>>87896771
The show actively undermines the notion of villains.
They are portrayed as people with flaws and opinions and the more you are exposed to them the less villainous they seem.
Sugar actually said that once.
The show has no strict villains.
So get ready for sensible talks with Diamond Authority.

This is one of the reasons I stopped watching. Anyone who thinks there aren't genuinely bad, hateful people in the world is sheltered and naive.

What if the series had been more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU9X8rSJm7k

>Anyone who thinks there aren't genuinely bad, hateful people in the world is sheltered and naive.
Those don't make compelling villains, and they're off-theme anyway. Villains have to fit the story's thematic premise whether as a complement or a foil or fucking anything as long as the relationship is there and the main character's traits are exemplified by it.

Your idea of a "good villain" fits badly into the story and would make for bad writing. "But it's realistic", sure- but so is having the opposition be an actual person whose point of view you can understand despite doing terrible things.

>>87889240

You don't need to dig everything and analise every aspect of the series. And search for sjw messages undercovered.
I like because is a simple show, funny and relax me.
>>
>>87898330
I'm not saying every villain would have to be like that, but it would be nice to have at least one genuinely evil villain who can't be redeemed, if for no other reason then to show kids that bad guys aren't always just "people with different points of view than you".

man like, i literally love this show, i love the style, i love the acting, i love the little drops of things they pop in when you think nobody is looking (dead-pan steven 4th wall "What would happen in bubbled if he got cracked/poofed) but the user base is retarded. Like literally retarded.

Let's talk about a few things.

1. Enough people got on the internet, and got mad enough to make one of the animators quit a social platform because they were angry they weren't getting their "ship".

2. People are literally trying to put race into a show about a bunch of fucking GEMS GENDERLESS GEMS and it's annoying as fuck. Bismuth didn't get poofed because she was "blackcoated" she got poofed and was contained because her idea of ending a war and Rose's were different. That's not to say that Rose could have probably thought of a different way to end that war but for FUCKS SAKE. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE.

I mean it's gotten to the point now where even the fillers (such as gem harvest) are turning into "sugar why u so racist/bigot/etc" because she slid some political commentary in there. uncle andy seems like the only person who can look at the world of the gems as it is and say "what the fuck is this shit" and get away with it because he has no idea who the gems are, the rest of beach city have all had their run ins with gems and the war and what not. it's called DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONS/WHERE YOU GREW UP/GET THE FUCK OVER IT

there's not one coherent thing i've said here, but this is what tumblr has reduced this show to now. you can't watch the show without having your SJW glasses on examining every little fucking aspect of a CHILDS SHOW because otherwise you don't "get it"

jesus christ just enjoy it we won't have it much longer

my significant other (italian jew) has a suggestion for you, stick with the teletubbies and perhaps you can continue your ridiculous diatribe on whether or not tinky winky is gay or not, he tells you to have a nice day, and thank you very fucking much :wink:

Because everything else is so bad that it looks like gold in comparison.
