>>91354308
I mean if you can figure out interplanetary travel a language based of a 26 letter alphabet shouldn't be that hard to decrypt.
>>
>>91354391
No new episodes, why else?

So the audience can understand said character. There's your explanation, you ass-pirate.

>>91354308
Also, anon, after thousand of years living on a planet you might learn a language native to it, you fucking dipshit.

Ah yes, "universal translators".
>>
>>91354455
I was talking about shows in general, but this applies to SU as well, since characters that have never set foot on Earth before also speak english.
>>
>>91354308
How many shows tried to explain this? I remember Ben 10 explaining this by saying that most aliens have traslators, they're pretty common and even the Omnitrix and the plumber batch have them

Mods said no more /SUG/ until new episodes.

Yet the star vs fags get to keep there general.

It's bullshit
>>
>>91354572
Since when has star vs had a general? Just mentioning /sveg/ gets the thread janitor'd.
>>
>>91354539
The only one I can remember is the Crash Nebula pilot, where all the aliens were speaking gibberish to the main character, and when he looked confused they gave him a universal translator earpiece. I actually rather liked how they handled it like that.
>>
>>91354572
Because Mods told them to stick to the general and not make endless shitpost on the catalog, their thread last way longer than the sug/ ones because people watching Star are minority in comparasion to SU, Jack and Rick & Morty

>>

>Alien language is, by astonishing coincidence, almost identical to english
>>
>>91354592
They still have there general. They just name the threads Star vs *insert random shit here*. They've been doing that since season two started. And it seems the mods look the other way because it's not an 'official' general.
>>
I'm starting to hate myself for being so knowledgable about this show but the Gems have things like automatic gravitational adjustment, shapeshifting, and dimensional pockets, so chances are, as anons have said, language wouldn't be a problem for them. Their technology is *supposed* to be ridiculously advanced but Gems are the biggest jobbers in fiction by a mile.

Not just that, but Lapis was interrogated once she managed to reach homeworld.
Awfully...convenient, but that could be an explanation.

And it's nothing but cuck memes too, so I'm not sure you could make the argument that they're trying to keep the mods are trying to keep the quality of discourse high.

>>
>>91354884
Well if the rebellion ended 5000 years ago, I guess it makes sense that they wouldn't know.

So basically in this timeline, the CG's are responsible for the birth of civilization as we know it and without them we'd be dirty shit flinging apes?
>>
I think it was mistake having Steven be 14
>>
>>91354994
No, humanity in SU should be somewhat setback with the presence of the gems, ironically.
However at the same time there might be a governmental agency devoted to studying the alien technologies on earth.

SU's earth might've actually balanced out due to these factors.
Even with it's fucked up map and state of the world.
>>
>>91354994
>and without them we'd be dirty shit flinging apes?
Not really they said, to just showed up to help in case of gem monster or tell humans to not go into some place, now some of the gem culture it's been found by humans and they just asume is a dead civilization, they really need to explain how many people knows about gems
>>
>>91354572
>>91354833
Same for Loud House, Voltron, and Gravity Falls.
>>
>>91354592
You /sug/tards do know you can literally make threads by not slapping "general" on the subject, right? If it worked for /sveg/ and /TLHG/, it will work for you.
>>
>>91355161
Not really because mods tend to delete su threads, they usually just let the su hate threads stick around
>>
>>91355295
They delete the general or any thread that relates to the general's degeneracy if the show's on hiatus.
>>
>>91355371
It hasn't happened in a while, but there was a time when they'd put the bump limit to one and only allow 1 SU thread a day if that. Seem more liberal about it now, I think it's just more trendy to make SU hate threads these days when even the fandom's disliking the show.

There used to be progress in the story and plot once upon a time, but from what I remember Anon's wanting more slice of life episodes and whimsical adventure like W.O.Y.
This is the same bolox that happened with P&F shipping in the end.
>>
>>91354509
English obviously comes from the gems. They're been on Earth since pre-Biblical times.
>>
>>91354308
On top of the previously mentioned 'it'd be easy for them to learn' and 'they're ridiculously advanced'

It'd be too much fucking effort for the writers to actually develop a new language with all the grammar and intricacies that it contains.
Though there is a written language for some reason.

And there are gems on home world that haven't been to earth so…

I've always guessed they didn't communicate based on an understanding of a language but were capable of communicating to people magically regardless of language. It'd add to the OPness of their power….now if only they didn't posses a lot of the flaws humans have despite evolving for different purposes without the biological needs and drives that would have been an evolutionary necessity to develop emotions.But of course we have to humanize them because drama and audience attachment.
>>
>>91356412
In what way was the episode "click bait"? What did it supposedly promise you?
>>
>>91356008
Isn't it exactly living up to its name? It's literally about an alternate end to those videos.
>>
>>91354308
This bothers me mainly because their written language is different
Voltron does this too
>>
>>91356619
To me nothing, but the day this thing came out, everyone SU fag was crying how this was click bait episode and bla bla bla, from what i understud every episode called Lion movie apparently moves this show plot, so they thought this would be the case again, but nothing happened. Can you comfirm if this is thruth or people were just crying again?
>>
>>91356804
Not really. The first lion episode introduced Lion, Lion 2 revealed Rose's secret lair, and Lion 3 introduced Rose's tape. Not much plot progression in those episodes.
>>
>>91354572
/sveg/ felt the same way when the mods kept banning the star threads while there were a crap ton of SU threads up at the same time
>>
>>91356910
So people were just expecting lore because to much filler and got mad that all, well which season is thing on anyway?

Well, it did reveal the location of Pink Diamond's ship, which was worth about as much as the reveals in the other Lion episodes, so I don't know how other fans think.

There was nothing funny or interesting and it was just Steven stressing out and crying over trying to figure out the purpose his mom had for him

gems weren't even in it and there was no explanation as to why
>>
>>91358479
There was a half-hour special before the finale about Phineas and Ferb being set 10 years in the future, in their college years. Throughout the whole episode, it transitions to developing Phineas and Isabella's relationship and finally making them kiss.

I was hoping that gems can intrinsicly understand Gem language and thus Steven can understand homeworld gems because he's a gem. Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Rose specifically learned English.

Only loose ends are Greg and Connie. Greg we can say was taught by Rose in their relationship and Connies only partially a loose end, since Peridot and Lapis definitely know English from Camp Pining Hearts by The New Crystal Gems. Connie and Ronaldo both commented on Peridot's broadcast, but I don't think they said anything about the content.
>>
>>91362499
Nah, it's established that the Gems have their own language and that Steven doesn't know it, sorry Anon.
>>
>>91362537
Written sure, but spoken?

It's entirely possible that Gems speak Gemlish and he hears English since it's what he's more comfortable with/his gem powers only relatively recently started functioning.
>>
>>91362633
Greg understood Rose and the crystal gems though, plus there's never been dialogue between him or Steven that indicates a language difference between the two.

Yeah, eat shit, fucking everything is implied in that show and anyone could make up shit without evidence or logic behind it, just like you just did, becouse there's no evidence to the contrary, becouse there's no evidence of fucking nothing, everything is left up in the air for the sake of "Mistery"

Truth is they can speak the same language becouse its convenient, which is fine, it doesn't need to be explained becouse this isn't fucking Star Trek, it doesn't matter and it will only waste everyone's time, time they could use in another townie episode

We both know the writers don't care much (If at all) about the science fiction aspects the show might have, why are you even pretending anyone in the writing room ever cared or thought about this? The answer is fucking magic, who cares? Its the one plot point i don't mind being brush under the rug since it will only cause more problems if explained, its not part of the motivations for the characters or necessary for the plot so its not important

So take your headcanon and shove it up your ass
