Who will teach Stevie?! wrote: If this shows how Steven summoned his shield, I'm going to hate it. Steven summoning his shield on his own adds to the coming of age story they're going with, and it also makes scenes where he learns more abilities all the more awesome. Uncle Grandpa being the reason why he can summon his shield just feels cheap, like some kind of last-minute deus ex machina because Rebecca Sugar couldn't think of anything else.

People keep saying for me to believe and that I should have trust in the crewniverse, but did you guys SEE the sneak peak? I thought it'd restore my faith they'd make a great episode. It didn't. It just made me less excited. Steven is supposed to be easily excitable for things like magic, the fact he watched a man duplicate into clones and spew out his own head out of his fanny-pack (ahem, 'belly bag') breaks character.

honestly, I just don't see how this crossover will work as canon. even the jokes we've seen of them so far have been random-humor, which is fine when it has a basis or a later expanded backstory, but not as... random junk. This show sounds like some kind of a sweetheart deal between the producers of SU and the executives of CN. Why else would you get a piece of nonsense like an SU/Uncle Granpa crossover.
