Why haven't we seen a government response yet in SU.

>>92862999
And we never will, because that would not only require humans in Steven Universe to display a competence uncharacteristic of them, but would also require the writers to move the plot forward at something faster than a snails pace as a new faction gets involved.

Complacency is a trait of humanity. Zoomans are just an extreme example but it's what they're all like.

Because human governments are always boring to alien stories and derail everything.
Just look at Transformers.

>implying any organization could derail the story any worse than the thousands of Townie episodes.

That's... what it was. We spent more time with the US government and military than with the Cybertronians. And it sucked.

Revenge of the Fallen was just that again with worse writing and about a hour's worth of stupid Shia shenanigans to break it up.

Dark of the Moon was Revenge of the Fallen but with stupid "first day on the job" hijinks instead of college ones... and a slightly better script.

I'll admit I didn't see the fourth one.

Men in Black and XCOM are all about the alien policing governments though.

>>92862999
Because they add nothing to the story other than being fodder for the bad guy to kick around.

The military can't out shine the the protagonists because that defeats the purpose of said show/movie. At best the military can buy time, give the heroes an edge to win.

And given the world of SU where apperantly no wars ever happened. It lacks the tech/man power to make immediate responses as there were never any rival super powers/ threats to national security to warrant it.

>>92862999
Yeah, seriously. After all the shit that's gone down you'd expect some response from the world outside of Beach City. Hell, even the citizenry of Beach City don't react to the crazy deadly shit happening half the time, and it's happening literally next door! I'm not even talking about calling in the army or something equally drastical, but just any sort of acknowledgement from anyone would be nice.

>no wars ever happened
impossible. a world history without wars would so drastically different as to render the world unrecognizable. It would render so many technologies and other things anachronistic in the world of SU; dogcopter, the united states, samurai...

The same reason that the Criminal Justice system in capeshit never seems to execute or kill repeated mass murderers and costumed terrorists.

The drama is between the Gems and the Gem antagonists, not humans or human militaries.

>>92862999
The gems have been hunting down corrupted gems for thousands of years. Corrupted gems are mainly found around warp pads if they're not on their way to one, most of which are isolated locations. The government most likely knows about the gems, they just don't have a reason or the means to help since they can solve their own problems.

>>92862999
The same reason why military forces are a running joke in godzilla movies.
Everyone knows what's going to happen, so it's pointless to even go there.

Just walk away, we all know its dumb as fuck, no one whats to hear the 100+ reused excuses and theories as to why those things too retarded to live are suppost to be human beings, just let it go, or at least, don't make another thread about it, go to their general for those questions, god knows they need something to talk about

>>92862999
SU has some of the worst writing I've ever encountered in a CN show.

At this I have a head canon that the SU actually takes place in the Invader Zim Universe and that a majority of mankind is too stupid to notice or acknowledge the weird alien shit going on.

Yikes so much misspelling. Sorry folks

At this point*

>>92864205

Tell that to the geniuses that decided not to have a WW2 in their story.

>>92863314
Those are both about the humans. And one is a video game. Any show that's supposed to be about the aliens (or whatever) always goes to shit when they introduce too much human stuff.
