I have watched every single Steven Universe episode(besides Gem Harvest), and I can tell you with certainty, that it is physically impossible for me to care less about the people of Beach City vanishing.

Honestly,  If we see Sadie curled up on a corner, sad, crying, calling her mom, hurt and cold, I won't care a single bit. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks like this.

So I guess that when you guys watch a superhero show or movie, and see a superhero saving a civilian from a villain, you say "I hope I get a whole episode about the completely mundane life of that civilian, instead of continuing with the hero's struggle!", right?

Seriously, we get it. People disappearing is bad and stuff. But the crewnverse can put the Beach City humans through the nine circle of hell, and we still wouldn't care, because we aren't invested in them, because they are NOT AS INTERESTING AS THE GEMS. Because this is a cartoon, and its objective is to ENTERTAIN an audience, so naturally we want to see the characters that we find the most interesting.
