<could not summarize>

  • 00:00:00 The video discusses why Steven Universe is a bad show, focusing on its writing, animation, and character development.

  • 00:05:00 The author of the video argues that the Steven Universe show has gone on long and frequent hiatuses, which has led to the Waiting Game trope being used to describe the fanbase's feelings about the show.

  • 00:10:00 The author of the YouTube video argues that Steven Universe is a "garbage" series because it consistently fails to develop its characters. The video also discusses the example of Lapis Lazuli, who is inconsistently developed and often used for comic relief.

  • 00:30:00 <could not summarize>

  • 00:40:00 Steven Universe is poorly animated, with episodes focusing almost exclusively on character arcs that are rushed to conclusion.

  • 00:45:00 The video criticizes Steven Universe for its poor writing quality, lack of LGBT representation, and lack of development in its characters' relationships.

01:00:00 - 02:00:00

The video criticizes Steven Universe for its racial coding, treatment of black characters, and lack of LGBTQ+ representation. It argues that the show's writing is full of vague clues that are easy to exploit, and that the main reason people on the light side of the Force reject it is because the Sith Empire is repeatedly resurgent and has a track record of betraying and butchering its subordinates.

  • 01:00:00 In this video, critic Lily Motz criticizes Steven Universe for its racial coding and its lack of progress on LGBTQ+ representation. She points out that the series has done better in recent seasons with regards to race, but its treatment of black characters remains problematic. One such example is Bismuth, a black revolutionary character who is largely caricatured and dismissed by the show's white characters.
  • 01:05:00 This 1-paragraph summary covers the video's main points: that Steven Universe is racist, with the episode "Steven Universe: Bismuth" being particularly egregious in its use of racial coding. Sugilite, a black character, is designed with a racially stereotypical appearance, and her design is uncritically paraded in an art book release.
  • 01:10:00 Steven Universe is garbage because the episodes and drawings in the "Steven Universe Sketchbook" were made carelessly and without regard to the effects on the characters. Sugar admits there was an approval process for the sketches, but admits that "concrete" slipped past it. The human zoo and the idea of a utopian hippie society are also criticized.
  • 01:15:00 Steven Universe is criticized for its lack of depth and writing, specifically Sugar's portrayal of Rose Quartz. In this video, various plot points are raised that undermine Sugar's storytelling, leading to the conclusion that Sugar deliberately wrote Rose Quartz's story in a way that makes her seem manipulative and evil. The backlash from this revelation leads to Han returning from hiatus beingPearl telling her own version of Rose's story, which is completely disconnected from the rest of the series.
  • 01:20:00 The video discusses how Steven Universe is garbage because of its writing, which is full of vague clues that are easy to exploit. The video points out that there are many hints about slavery and Pearl's character in particular.
  • 01:25:00 The video criticizes Steven Universe for its poorly written and executed story, its unoriginal design, and its stereotypical portrayal of different factions within the Sith Empire. The video also points out that two different classes within the Sith Empire, the Sith Inquisitor and the Sith Warrior, contrast each other in terms of their values and goals.
  • 01:30:00 The video argues that Steven Universe is garbage, and that the main reason why people on the light side of the Force reject it is because the Sith Empire is repeatedly resurgent and has a track record of betraying and butchering its subordinates. Furthermore, the Jedi are not good guys, as they have always been able to beat the Sith primarily because the Sith do most of the work for them. This is why the protagonist of the Sith Warrior storyline never becomes a Jedi, as they do not believe in either democracy or the Sith Empire's blood purity policies. Finally, the video argues that Erik Jordan, the Chancellor of the Republic in Knights of the Fallen Empire, is a dictator who does not care about the Republic or its citizens, and that the player should expect her execution.
  • 01:35:00 The creator of "Steven Universe" argues that the show is garbage because the protagonist, Rose, is always righteous and never kills, despite the fact that she is in a war. Furthermore, the creator argues that Sugar never bothered to address any of the contradictions in her view of Rose, which made the character difficult to like.
  • 01:40:00 Steven Universe is a children's show that depicts fascism in a negative way. The main antagonists, the Diamonds, are portrayed as being very Nazi-like. There is one problem: Rebecca Sugar is not aware of this. The show is not about fascism, the rebellion against Homeworld had nothing to do with their fascist police state, it was about protecting nature. Additionally, the Diamonds are portrayed as sympathetic characters, with only their identity as Pink Diamond keeping Steven and the Crystal Gems safe. Uncle Andy is a particularly negative example, as he is portrayed as being very xenophobic, rage-filled, and violent.
  • 01:45:00 In this YouTube video, the author critiques Steven Universe, calling it "garbage" and "bad writing." They argue that the villains in the show are always over-the-top and nastier than necessary, and that the lesson taught in the show is contradictory and wrong. They conclude that the Diamonds, Rose, Lapis Lazuli, and Tandy Lars Renaldo are all undeserving of forgiveness, and that the show is teaching a lesson that forgiveness is not an absolute.
  • 01:50:00 The video criticizes Steven Universe for its glorification of war, abuse, and genocide, and argues that Rebecca Sugar is not aware of the implications of her writing because she is "just not paying attention outside of her very specific goals." Sugar has been criticized for her fixation on redemption arcs, her portrayal of the Diamonds, and her lack of care for the consequences of her work.
  • 01:55:00 The video discusses the problems with Steven Universe, which include poor writing, animation issues, and a lack of focus. It argues that Rebecca Sugar is the root of these issues and that she should not have been given creative control over the show.
