I also am an extreme fan of Steven Universe :P I don't have really any problems with the show and I kind of wanted to put what I thought about your arguments, I liked your points because they make sense but I just want to stick up for the show :P.

1. This is kind of true but like Garnet says in "The Test" Steven is the first of his kind and there is nobody like him so they probably don't know how to punish him, Gems don't really understand human feelings, I guess.

2. That is actually something that bothers me also BUT I do thing there could be reasons for this, in Ocean Gem, they are exact copies of the gems but since they are made of water they would be weaker but since they can regenerate immeadeatly it makes them just as powerful. Sugilite took time to fight Pearl, she knew she was powerful against her and didn't even worry about the fight which gave Pearl the upper hand as it gave her time to think, Frybo is an insane creature that was continously fighting Pearl while she only had one hand free.

3. Yeah, I don't really know about this one, I think maybe some of these things might hurt the gems or take time to do, like Garnet's weighted gauntlets take time to create and when fighting a monster they don't really have a second to spare. Pearl can only summon things that are already in her possesion, the mirror they had already got from the Galaxy Warp but yeah, besides that I don't know why they wouldn't use those different abilities.

4. I think the reason he can breathe in space is because he is half gem and gems don't normally live on Earth but I don't think he can breathe in water either because he is both a gem and a human. I don't think gems can breathe in water either unless they have a special ability, like Lapis.

But hey, I don't know :P
