It would be the greatest show the network ever put out if Rebecca Sugar was completely in charge

At that point in development it was probably just a typical giant monster, as badass as it looks. Maybe it was "giant monster incubating in the core that will soon wake up, tunnel to the surface and wreak havoc and destruction" instead of just destroying the Earth from the inside from its sheer size. Although I wonder how they would have beaten it.

>>
>>93594080
but all of those concepts are from rebecca sugar. so no,not really.
And keep in mind, these concepts are great, but not for the type of show SU is. These are designs for a post-apocalyptic magical weird show, set in a he man type world but with girls and without silly costumes.
The pilot is a great example on why the art style wouldnt have worked. The intro is the most metal shit ever, and the plot is just "kid fucks up after playing with time to annoy his friend".
Trust me, you would be getting the exact same show, except with this weird art style that would make it look jarring.

in any case, the art would be amazing for a comic. But steven universe isnt a comic.
>>93594110
thats cool as fuck,but it wouldnt make sense for a being thats trapped on earth. Maybe from an earlier concept, where instead of fighting malechite, alexandrite fought the cluster. But if it was like that, then the whole peridot redemption arc would be useless because the whole point was stopping it from emerging.
Also, i would hate to see THIS desing be saved by the power of friendship.

You're assuming that the Cluster destroying the Earth just by taking form was some ironclad, etched in stone thing and that the scenario couldn't have been different in the conceptual stage. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the entire Cluster scenario we got was a result of them having to operate within the budget.

No, Steven Universe already was on track to be one of the greatest shows they'd ever done, before the quality tanked in S3 and S4.

Which was the fault of the 'crew' itself.

It kinda looks like it's coming out of the ground rather than being fully formed.
I imagine this idea of the cluster would be that the form would reach out from the Earth through cracks or some shit and take that kind of fucked up form.

That said, we're still CERTAINLY going to see a harmonious, fully formed Cluster later on.
They'll find a way to get it out of the planet safely and it'll take on a less abomination form because it had all that time to talk to and get to know itself.

>>93594118
At least now we have the source for the first sillhouette Pearl took on when forming way back in the early episodes.

Reminds me of chinese temple lion statues. If the temple was conceptualized by this point I imagine he was probably trying to compliment the eastern deity vibe it has. It would make sense if Lion was a construct made to guard the temple. Although it's a bit much, yeah.

What the fuck, no it didn't. Rebecca Sugar and her low-rent staff ruined Steven Universe. It was very clear by the end of Season 2 that the type of story they're trying to tell is way out of their skill set. Nobody working on the show is a particularly good writer or animator and the only reason so many people who are into Western Animation are so enamored with it is because it's one of the only cartoons on air right now that tries to have "emational moments" instead of being a straight up comedy. If you watch anything besides American cartoons you'd find much better stories told with even less of the time of what Steven Universe has.

How can you guys fawn over the pilot gem designs? They are ugly overdesigned characters that instead of looking like tumblr, look like they were drawn by some angsty teen girl in her artbook in highschool. Its a visual clusterfuck of someone trying to make them look like they're from a certain time period. Its like they just wanted all the gems to look like gaudy 80s leg-warmer wearing stick figures. They were trying way too hard to make them look unique and ended up making them all look the same. They look like all the retarded runway fashion designs that people make fun of.
The monsters were cool though, because they actually looked monstrous.

Sadie and lars look the best i've ever seen them on this page, especially the sticky note doodle.
I really wish Sugar's style was more prominent throughout the show instead of the whole "everyone draws differently" thing they're going for.

I was always under the impression that's the aesthetic they were attempting, especially with the heavy use of synth in the pilot. It makes sense that holographic Gems took inspiration from Jem and the holograms

The animation style was changed because the simpler style they have no allows for the storyboard artist to keep the character designs consistent. Ironically the flanderization of Peridot resulted in her transformation to a chibi style

Who's to say we were? Remember, the Cluster never actually emerged. We never saw its form. And what Steven did seemed like more of a temporary solution than anything. I don't imagine the Diamonds won't investigate what the fuck happened to the Cluster and why it didn't emerge.
>>
>>93599946
The only time storyboard driven works is when its for visual comedy, and that's because writing out, "Daffy bounces from wall to wall as he freaks out and screams WHOO HOO WHOO HOO" is way less interesting to read than it is to see the art for.

If you want to actually tell a story and have well WRITTEN characters, you need to, you know, write. There's a reason why TV live action is entering its second golden age while TV animation struggles to stay relevant for a couple of years at a time.

The diamonds are around 10000 years old, I doubt even 50 years of the cluster not emerging would cause alarm
>>
>>93594080
I think you're wrong because CN is a cheapskate and there's no way they'd ever be able to churn out these designs in consistent animated form.

And even so they couldn´t keep the artstyle consistent.

It was pretty risky of them to send an Ack-wamarine to round up a couple of monkeys when the Cluster could have blown up the whole planet while she was on it.

So what I've gleaned from this thread is that Sugar's monster/gem designs are choice as fuck, but her human designs are sub-par at best.

Man, seeing what could have been really depresses me.
>>
>>93601162
Lets face it, the SU crew has problems in the writing even with that cool artstyle they would probably have done the same thing with the cluster they did with the arstyle they have now.
>>
Anyone have a link to where I can buy the art book? Or at least the name? I want to have it for future reference on monster designs.

>but the artstyle on both shows is piss poor

Pot calling the kettle black. SU can't even remain visually consistent from scene to scene, let alone episode to episode.
>>
>>93601250
I always thought the problem with the writing was that they never knew what to do with the amount of episodes they got. Like, they were probably only expecting the show to run for 2-3 seasons and had some idea of what they were going to do, but got renewed for way more than they were bargaining for, and had to settle with making a bunch of shitty townie episodes to fill in the spaces.

Either way, I'm still really disappointed.
>>
>>93601288
Thanks, man. I haven't been up on my SU lately so I wasn't aware an art book was even coming out.
>>
>>93601292
Matt confirmed the reason the gems kept being idiots and forgetting things they could do when they kept failing to catch Peridot for several episodes was because they had over a hundred episodes to fill.
>>
>>93601556
Well there you go. To me at least, it seems like the entire show could've been done in 3 seasons. It's not like all those Onion/Ronaldo episodes were really necessary, or well received.
>>
>>93596483
>Sugar is still a retarded family name
AYO HOL UP, isn't a pseudonym?
>>
>>93601690
Yes, her original family name was Sugarberg
>>
>>93601292
I don´t really agree with the idea that the townie episodes are the ones ruining the show. The first season has a lot of townie episodes and most people thing is the best season.

Even so SU writing has this recurring problem where most problems are solved in the most underwelming way posible.
The cluster is solved really easily to the point it took longer to decide who would build the drill to get there.
Jasper got defeated before she could unleash her monster army.
the first encounter with the main "villians" is a stealt mission while they have a family crisis and when Steven is finally face to face with the diamonds they gave him a relatively fair trial.
Even the big problem of him being stranded on an alien planet got solved pretty much by accident.

Is not to say there is not conflict on the show but most of it are internal issues between the crystal gems not with their enemies. which worked back in the first season where it was mostly slice of life with some fantasy episodes but now that si suppose to be an space opera with actual antagonist the writing style doesn´t work as well.

That's not an undercut. Her beta hair looks like one of 90s cuts that was popular back in the day. I forget the name, but it's definitely not what is referred to as the "tumblr hair".
>>
>>93597061
If there's no script, what do they hand the voice actors to read their lines off of?
>>
>>93604229
In this case, they probably have a list of lines copied from the boards handed to them and are given the direction and context from whoever's supervising the sound booths rather than fully-fleshed scenes that would be present in an actual script.
>>
>>93594818
on that note, why didn't it get a higher budget? do shows not do too well? where do their profits comes from? where do they go?
what is keeping them from making quality shit?
>>
>>93602400
I agree wholeheartedly, but I still feel like the townie episodes drowned out a lot of the buildup in later seasons, especially 4. Like fuck, do we really need an episode about Onion's special friends?

Thats pretty much sums it up, anon. I'll just admire it for a while and jump this thread.
>>
>>93602400
Usually when I see people talking about how the townie episodes "ruining" SU it's usually in relation to how the current batches of townie episodes now signal that major plot points are going to be put on the back burner and not significantly mentioned.

Which, as you said, worked fine for the early seasons when the plot was minimal and the focus was mainly on slice of life stories. But now they just lead to a major disconnect where Steven will sit on his hands for several dozen episodes, and then act surprised when the Diamonds start abducting people when he was in the room when the Diamonds loudly proclaimed that they intended to do just that.
