[Steven Universe] 1. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY 2. SAY IT

edited June 2015 in Social Entropy++
So Monday November 4th Steven Universe the new show by Adventure times Rebecca Sugar started up.

It rocks.

You may remember miss sugar as she wrote songs for adventure time
Like this one
http://youtu.be/d_2IZFqrXKI

Steven Universe Follows the adventures of the titular Steven as he has misadventures with the Crystal Gems a team of immortal badass lady heroes and his hippie dad who has interesting opinions on hot dogs. Rebecca sums up the entire premise pretty well:

http://youtu.be/Fh9tz_nKYYU

Characters
Steven Quartz-Universe
The energetic,optimistic,and somewhat dim protagonist of the series.
Steven dreams of being a cool magical warrior someday but his powers are unstable and his role models are kind of terrible.
That said Stevens special talents seem to compliment the personality defects of his guardians so maybe he'll be ok.
Steven's weapon is Captain america's sheild.

no really.

Pearl

Pearl is as her name implies delicate. A very capable warrior and strategist Pearl always has a plan. If that( or anything really) derails from her expectations she tends to freak out a bit.
She's heavily implied to be Stevens surrogate mother being very protective of him . She and Amethyst are generally at odds having drastically different approaches to life

Her weapon is the spiral spear but she prefers swords

Amethyst

A total Hedonist in and out of battle. Steven and her share a brother sister relationship and she encourages his less desirable qualities like messiness and slacking off. She means well though and will drop everything to save Steven. She sometimes clashes with the other Gems due to her more chaotic personality especially Pearl.
Her weapon is the Thorn Whip .

Garnet

The ace of the team Garnet is possessed of a third eye and as a result has limited psychic abilities. She uses these to direct her teammates and see where trouble will arise across the globe
Garnet is very purposeful and seemingly lacks emotions possibly due to the concentration needed for her powers . Her facade cracks if Steven is in danger . Steven very much wants to grow up to be like her and she in turn sees his actual potential

Her weapons are the Star guantlets. Garnet has two gems and thus two weapons why has not been explained yet.

Rose Quartz
Stevens deceased(?) mother.she gave up her corporeal form to birth her son. She had various ancient gem weapons and never told people where they were for some reason.
She was the previous leader of the gems and loved by pretty much everyone.
She has a Holodeck and Batcave but her main weapon is also a shield .

Greg universe
Stevens human father. A generally cheerful guy who live in a van and owns a car wash. The show hints that losing Rose( and Steven apparently) was super rough on him . he loves his son and despite everyone's best efforts they share a similar outlook on life .
Gregs weapon is a laser cannon his wife left him and his Battle van

Connie
Stevens by the book gal friday. She very much compliments Stevens enthusiasm and ignorance with much needed skepticism and book smarts . She secretly yearns for a life like Stevens though and the two are just super cute together.

Onion
Onion is Satan.

Petey Fryman
Petey is the oldest twelve year old. Constantly trying to be mature for his dad and throwing away his childhood to do it. Steven seems to be his only friend .

Lars
steven is lars only friend.
Because Lars is kind of a dick. Deep down he's not a bad guy just an outsider. He is unaware he is dating Sadie

Sadie
Lars ' long suffering better half. She's very nice .

Ronaldo Fryman
Frohike without the other lone Gunmen. A conspiracy theroist that doesnt quite get the weird stuff happening around beach city is due to the Gems,


Opal
Gem fusion one
the gianganticAmazon Archer Opal! She is awesome and also hawkeye . She is a combination of Amethyst and Pearl so understandably she doesn't show up often.
She is a more carefree graceful peroson than her compenents. Pearl is the dominant personality

Her weapon is the Light Arrow and Goddess bow

Sugilite
Sugiilite is not a good person. A fusion of Amethyst and Garnet she is obsessed with individuality and power . Pearl is terrified of her and in her debut she demonstrates why .
Amethyst is the primary personality
Her weapon is the Slammer Mace

    Not just rap. Steven singing on a whim is a big part of the show.

    I think it looks perfectly well made but between Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors, Bee and Puppycat and, arguably, Regular Show I have kinda reached my fill on this subgenre of cartoons.

    I think this is going to be a full, regularly aired show on Cartoon Network

    Bravest Warriors and Bee an Puppycat are both great but they are still kind of weird, intermittent internet things

    the concept of 'cookie cat' sounds like one of those things that is designed to appeal to the internet. like, its one step removed from 'bacon puppy' or something

    To be honest, as television and Internet blend into each other this will become more commonplace

    Farg are you dissing Bee and Puppycat

    Is this what you are doing

    Because dissing the pure joy that is Bee and Puppycat is the road that leads to madness

    Cookie cat is probably supposed to be a cute sounding name aimed at children and internet folks alike.

    Or the creator just likes the name because it's adorable.

    I know it was just randomly chosen to fit the rhyme scheme but it's pretty cool the Cookie Cat song ends with mention of route 109. That was the road that went through the center of my town when it was a little kid.

    The theme song often gets stuck on repeat in my head. I think I will dig this show.

    When I first saw the commercials, I didn't think the show was going to be anything special.

    Then I saw the pilot episode and I fell in love with the character designs. I hope the show does well.

    this is a fine opinion to express and just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean the other person is overreacting and needs to chill

    Chowder and Flapjack were ahead of their time. Taken to soon from us, Metalbourne.

    Well I'm sorry I offended you

    And I'm sorry internet culture bums you out

    But I'm not sure that writing off anything that involves the word "kitty" or "bacon" is the best way to go about things?

    Puppycat is a cute mascot character and the show is a take off of magical girl anime

    It has very little to do with internet memes, and I hope that memes don't prevent you from at least giving kitty based entertainment a shot

    Apparently this was on purpose and meant to further drive home that tge gems are decidedly inhuman in comparison to Steven
