I consider myself someone who respect the others' opinions. I have read all this thread, and I have found some people with whom I agree and some with whom I disagree, but I am OK with that, everyone has it own opinion.

But what I can't stand is people who criticise the show saying that it doesn not sticks to Science. I'm not someone who is against scientific explanation in fiction and about characters' and artifacts' abilities, but the long explanations, the scientific corrections to the others's statements and the direct-to-crewniverse complaints really piss me off, because they are mostly unnecessary for two simple reasons: Sorry if I have been too fanatical about the last one, but while I know that I am talking about fiction, I have a very strong opinion of what magic is.
 * The first and the most important is that Steven Universe is a cartoon. It does not have to make sense or follow any rules, because it is aimed for people who enjoy that nonsense tand it has nothing to do with our universe (Its Steven's Universe!)
 * The second but not the least relevant for me is that, throughout the series it has been stated that Gems are magic. This means that they can definitely defy Science, because this is what magic does! For example, someone stated that the water tower could not support itself, but it's creator, Lapis, has the ability of hydrokinesis, which means that she can control water no matter what obstacles Science puts on the way. Another thing that bothers me is that since Gems turned out to be aliens then all the magic featured in the show is technology. NO! Magic is magic!!! It really annoys me when people use the really worn out "Magic is Science/Technology that we still do not understand". Yeah, in some cases it could be true, but that does not mean that Magic cannot exist by itself! Magic simply is! Is not some kind of elaborated process that a super advanced artifact performs. It is the ability to do things beyond anything that Technology and Science have ever seen, breaking the rules of the latter. And it is obvious that many of the acts performed by the Gems really fit in this.
