For Steven Universe, the main antagonist whoever she may be should be morally grey and have justifiable reasons for her actions because understanding others is one of the show's key themes. My personal prediction is that Yellow Diamond or whatever her true form's called  is callous towards traitorous gems and human life while having compassion and empathy for her fellow Homeworld Gems and will do anything in her power to ensure their survival no matter how great the sacrfice.I like to think of her as Rose Quartz if she only cared about gemkind. She may even be the first gem that Steven resents, but that's before he finds out her noble intentions. What I wouldn't want to see in this show is a villain with no redeemable qualities who defies the show's message of understanding others, and it would be very unfitting especially since Steven Universe has been shown to be capable of having three-dimensional antagonists like Lapis Lazuli and maybe even more. I'm not saying that complete monsters are dull and uninteresting. I'm saying that for this particular show, A morally grey villain is more suitable. Yeah, I think having a complete monster is really out of place for a show like Steven universe.
