I can only really adhere to some of the original dislike points that have been made but a lot of them were about the fandom or filler or things that have yet to be explained. This show is a story about lives. Do amazing things happen everyday? No..so episoders like steven bomb are not going to happen all the time cuz that's unrealistic. Also, I too agree with the idea that none of these episodes are filler excluding Say Uncle. They all add mystery and lore. We got to see more of Buck's personality in the T-shirt episode and he's going to get close to Greg. That's a small progression but it's a cannon and potentially useful one in the future. HERES WHY GARNET"S UNIVERSE ISN"T FILLER. HopPY(ruby) and hoppER(sapphiRE) were always with Garnet in the episode. HoppY seemed like more of the combat type while Hopper was sweeter. Ringo, or Ronaldo, turned out to have a major role in the story even though we initially thought it was minor. Just like how Ronaldo is bound to have a big role. It's all speculation but it makes sense does it not? Once again this is a story from the perspective of a little boy. It's not an action show, nor a musical, nor a slice of life, nor a shounen. It's a story with components of all of those things. IF you dislike those things then for someone who critically inclined you should probably be watching shows that target an older audience. Should've addressed this one earlier cause it's the most flawed argument I've seen so far.

I appreciate the critical discussion but who do some of you think you are?

I think I'm a fan with a brain and an IPad. How bout you?

The crewniverse is telling a story.

I'm aware. I'll be sure to refer back to this in a bit.

They don't have to prove anything to any of you.

That's true to an extent, but since they're entertaining geeks like us for a living, they kinda do have something to prove.

''This show is a story about lives. Do amazing things happen everyday? No..so episoders like steven bomb are not going to happen all the time cuz that's unrealistic.''

Gotta admit, that's a good point but only so true. Yeah it's a story about lives but it's still a story. A story needs development. I'm not expecting a Steven Bomb all the time but that doesn't mean I want the bare minimum of plot advancement.

''Also, I too agree with the idea that none of these episodes are filler excluding Say Uncle. They all add mystery and lore. We got to see more of Buck's personality in the T-shirt episode and he's going to get close to Greg.''

I've argued too many times what episodes are filler and why they're filler. Just look through the thread a bit and you'll see them.

''HERES WHY GARNET"S UNIVERSE ISN"T FILLER. HopPY(ruby) and hoppER(sapphiRE) were always with Garnet in the episode. HoppY seemed like more of the combat type while Hopper was sweeter.

That was so desperate it hurts. I feel like deep down, you know you're grasping at straws but you posted it anyway. Garnet's Universe was filler and you know it. However, I give Garnet's Universe and Say Uncle a pass because they were just there for some fun and laughs. The other episodes you refer to as not being filler barely contribute to the plot but don't get the same excuse since they're written to drag out the story and that's not really entertaining.

''Once again this is a story from the perspective of a little boy. It's not an action show, nor a musical, nor a slice of life, nor a shounen. It's a story with components of all of those things.''

Yes. I dislike the show. That's why I've watched every episode and hung around the wiki. Just to show how much I dislike it. (coughsarcasmcough)

Guys, no show is perfect. Steven Universe is no exception. I understand you're all diehard fans but that doesn't mean blindly accepting everything and denying any faults. It also doesn't mean that anyone who points out said flaws are doing so cause they hate the show.
