Honestly, the show's shit. It's like someone saw Madoka Magica, read some shitty "Magical space women aliens" "Sci-Fi" novel from the Star Trek days, and combined knockoffs of those it with all the SJW pheromones they could muster to create something so shitty, it attracts shit at an alarming rate and watching it (Leaked, of course, on the internet, not on TV) is almost a game in its own right because you're wondering what stock plot they're going to fail to pull off next or what predictable plot twist is coming next or when they're going to realize that the show worked better when it was just dumb fillers hinting at plot, and now that the underwhelming "evil space nazis want to take away our freedom to be gay!" plot is revealed, all the pretentious shit just falls flat.



And the whole "Be who you are! Be what you are!" plot doesn't work when the villain Jasper came from the same planet as the heroes and IS who she is, a soldier for her dead Pink Diamond, yet gets fucked over at every turn because she looks too much like a man to be liked or redeemed ever. It also doesn't work when the answer to every problem the heroes face is to fuse and defeat the lone, miserable, unliked villain by overpowering her. It also doesn't work when the "Terrifying" Giant Ruby is an idiot and so are the mini-rubies, and they can be one-shotted by a hammer or by Pearl. BUT OF COURSE, if you try telling any of its cultist fans that there's never any tension and you're not wondering if or how the hero will win but when the episode will be over, they attack you for making them commit wrongthink. Each of the characters are just one-note characters, though with a "Twist" on it. The miserable stuck-up prissy asshole usually loves Steven and is a prick because the love of her life, Fat Madoka, chose Greg over her. The stoic one is stoic because she exists solely so SJWs can yell "Look at my black(TM) lesbian(TM) baby go!" when the brick-red-skinned cube-haired at-least-200-year-old Mary Sue fights. Oh, and Garnet is actually a fusion between an angry stupid boyishly-dressed red Fire-user named Ruby and a stoic girlishly-dressed blue ice-user named Sapphire. HOLY SHIT, WHAT ORIGINALITY! Finally, there's Amethyst. Take Bloo from Foster's Home, now make it a disgusting midget fatass for what feels like 6 seasons, making every interaction with her garbage, especially that time she shapeshifted into a purple version of Rose to piss off Greg, Steven's emotionally-broken father WHO SHOULD BE THE ACTUAL FATHER AND CARETAKER OF STEVEN, CONSIDERING HE'S THE ONE THAT RAISED HIM. Amethyst's "Depth" is that she hates herself whenever the writers remember she does, but doesn't put any effort into bettering herself until late season 3 when she gets her ass beat by Jasper(Who previously got her ass beat by Garnet, killing her threat level), and even then, it's immediately considered scary/obsessive by Steven because self improvement is not a part of the feminist ideal, remaining shitty is.



If this were simply a fanfic or original story on the internet, it would be reviled by everyone worth a damn and considered to be on the same level as Chakats. Instead, it's on tv, where lowest common denominator trash can watch it when not watching Supernatural or jacking off to "And then Dean Winchester fucked his brother Sam, shat on him, pissed on him, and they're also dicks to each other now, etc" fanfics and call it the smartest show ever purely because the common ToonBoom trash gives itself an air of pretentiousness despite being on their stupidly simple level.



Literally the only good thing about this entire damn show is the soundtrack. They hired someone good for that job.
