a5c7b9f00b A team of intergalactic warriors fights to protect the universe, but the combination of three highly trained beings and one quirky young boy leaves the team struggling to overcome the dangerous scenarios that are put in front of them. 5000 years after a great war of Gems, gemstone-like beings from a planet called Homeworld, we meet Steven, a half boy half gem who lives with the &quot;Crystal Gems&quot; Garnet, Amythest, and Pearl, who live on earth after they rebelled against Homeworld. The story follows Steven&#39;s adventures, whether he is fighting monsters or learning to control his own powers. The author &quot;natebridgeman&quot; evidently don&#39;t know what he&#39;s/she is talking about.These Character designs are very sharp and original,the gems are based on actual gems and their skin color match.I actually miss shows with sharp geometric figures and I&#39;m glad Rebecca Sugar brought this to her show,and ironically the show was nominated for a Annie awards for it&#39;s completely original character designs (A great accomplishment).<br/><br/>The dialogue is like &quot;Plan 9 from Outer Space&quot;? Yeah because that makes sense,not once (So far) in the show have they said anything about aliens or Zombies.The show is about a kid name Steven Universe who is half gem (Mother side) and half human (Father side),who goes on &quot;fun&quot; and magical adventures with a female fighting team called The Crystal Gems or for short &quot;The Gems&quot;.Each gem is name after a gem except Steven who has a Rose-quart gem,anyway they go on magical adventures and Steven sing songs, like come on, a 8 years old can understand the concept well enough to enjoy the show.<br/><br/>A pilot episode is a trial episode that&#39;s aired before the first series to gauge audience response. They had 10 minutes and he/she was expecting a back story? No it doesn&#39;t work like that,even Adventure Time pilot (The show you praise)had no back story, but like the Steven Universe pilot it gave us the sense to what show is about, and what we can expect. <br/><br/>The quote you questioned &quot;If every pork chop was perfect, we wouldn&#39;t have hot dogs&quot; is such a great quote,and I love it.It means if everyone was perfect (Pork chop) then we wouldn&#39;t be different or have originality (Hot dog) it has nothing to do with meat message wise.The show actually embrace not being perfect which is why I love it,and also why the character designs are so different from each other (Various body shapes,hair style,etc.) notice how Steven mess up constantly but they never get mad,no they embrace him for learning of experience.<br/><br/>Usually I would ignore stupidity from such a person but I couldn&#39;t let him/her go around the internet bashing something he admits to not knowing.My only problem about the show is that it&#39;s a musical but I&#39;ve only heard one song, like come on more music,I love your songs Rebecca Sugar but other than that great show,and the background music is just amazing. Steven Universe is by far one of Cartoon Networks best triumphs. I do like the show, but it does have a few elements that are quite annoying. If I had to sum up SU in four words they would be odd, musical, emotional, and intriguing. There are a few parts of SU I like, while others…not so much. I love the plot of the show. I won&#39;t spoil anything, but I will say that it is very interesting and mysterious. I also love the whole concept with the gems. I know there may be controversy on whether the show is lesbian or not, but here&#39;s how I view it. Technically, the gems bodies are illusions,was stated in the show, so they are gender less. If you think about it, they can&#39;t be gay OR straight if they don&#39;t have a sex. They aren&#39;t even beings that reproduce sexually or asexually. All of them are referred to&quot;shes&quot;, but I think of the more masculine gems&quot;hes&quot;. So there. No more controversy :). One thing that annoys me about SU is that it is SO EMOTIONAL. I can not think of ONE episode where no one cries or gets into a huge argument in the first few seasons. Seriously, it seems to me that all of the characters are pmsing bad. Another thing is the songs. Don&#39;t get me wrong, I do love some of the songs, but they overkill with singing in this series. It&#39;s even worse than Disney. Frankly, it gets annoying. Thankfully, these issues do fade in newer seasons, but let me tell you, the first season is rough. I&#39;m glad this show has such a great plot and interesting characters because otherwise I probably would have ditched it long ago. In later seasons, the emotions are toned down, the music gets less annoying, the animation gets better, and the plot is more prominent. If you are wanting to check out SU, I would suggest you power through season one and get to the better seasons before you judge. Overall, SU is like a sci-fi Disney fairy tale. I would suggest this show to fans of Star vs The Forces of Evil, Adventure Time, and Disney movies. This title gets a thumbs up from CriticalBunniez 👍
