Couldn't help making this gif once I saw this scene:
I'm also bummed that three seasons is apparently all there's going to be. Sure, that means the series is not even half done, but things have slowed down quite a bit after Jailbreak, making it seem we're only going to see changes to the status quo during season finales. If there's only three seasons, that's not a lot of room for manoeuvre to take the series to new places...
I haven't heard the three season thing anywhere else
I cannot wait until Peridot inevitable joins the gems
And then inevitably betrays them
And then gets her inevitably gets an redemption arc

Then inevitably opens up a plumbling company called 'Fixing Clogs for Clods'.
I really hope not.I bet we'll learn darker stuff about Rose at some point a-la Dumbledore in HP.
I really hope not.
I hate dumbledore as a beloved character.Also Pearl is infinitely superior to Snape
I bet we'll learn darker stuff about Rose at some point a-la Dumbledore in HP.
plz don'tPearl is totally Snape. Forced to take care of this kid that does nothing but remind her of what she's lost.

Did this thread just become a Harry Potter x Steven Universe fan fiction?
Is the extended opening ever going to actually air, or is it safe to watch? I really want to watch it, but it seems like it's filled with spoilers.

But it makes their actions feel forced and is bad writing, in a show that is known for excellent writing and thinking of all the little details. This episode really bummed me out about the show.
Im pretty sure if you cataloged all of their powers (especially all of the stuff Garnet can do), theres absolutely no reason why they shouldnt win everything all the time with no effort and there was literally just an episode about why thats bad writing.
With this show, I wouldn't be surprised.
Oh, that reminds me; did anyone else find this shot from the extended intro kinda odd?
Seemed like such a weird choice of image for Rose. Is it just me who finds it almost sinister? She's super large on screen, her eyes are hidden, the wide grin, the way she's almost holding Steven in her hands... I doubt it means anything, but yeah.
There's about 45 seconds of actual show (i.e. non-song stuff) at the start of the clip, but after that it's all music/singing. I think someone on the show said it was coming out officially sometime in the near future, but it seemed vague.
I wouldn't call it spoilery myself, but a big part of it does take place prior to the start of the series, so if you're worried about getting some general info on events before the start of the show, that'd be a concern. There's also a small glimpse at a new character, but again, not really very spoilery IMO.
If you want to watch it, this should take you to the start of the actual song part.
Looks good, careful with the line work tho.Made some fan art, this is of the home world:

How can you hate tumblr when it gives you THIS
Perhaps Spoiler tag the image incase?How can you hate tumblr when it gives you THIS
Who is that at 2:40???
Just watched the arc and was kind of let down by it.The conflict between Pearl and Garnet was too forced. Even soured seeing Ruby and Sapphire again.
I can't think of an example in anime where anyone had this same expression without being somewhat nefarious.
Or it could be a way to not overexpose Rose, to keep her in a somewhat godlike state.
Also, I never saw the extended intro until, holy shit it's great. Hope we get an official release
I have to wonder why Greg says "believe in" in the extended version but not the TV edit.
Yeah, I get Pearl's actions but it doesn't function all that well on a dramatic level.I thought the conflict fit what we know about the characters well, particularly with how we know Pearl feels about Rose. That said, looking back, there should have been an episode soon before "Cry for Help" specifically depicting Pearl feeling inadequate, to explain why her issues would suddenly flair up again. Maybe if "Rose's Scabbard" aired later, right before that episode, it would have worked better; though that would require some changes in other episodes.
Perhaps Spoiler tag the image incase?
Shit. :OI have to wonder why Greg says "believe in" in the extended version but not the TV edit.
Frieza errr....Yellow Diamond
Did I miss something about the renewal announcement?
3 seasons was confirmed as the total number of seasons?
lol ya'll are too much.
Well then, design their powers better or give better reasons to why they shouldn't use them (spider man running out of web juice, green lantern losing his ring, etc.). Just going, 'ok they wont win this time' without having any legitimate reason besides delaying plot advancement isn't good writing and makes it feel super forced.
I dunno I just feel like if this is the fight you feel is arbitrary, then literally every fight in the show is arbitrary. Theres no reason Garnet shouldnt be using her snake arm power from mystery team to boa constrict every foe or using her rocket fists on Jasper instead of more conventional fighting moves for example.
The show was only recently confirmed (for the 2nd time, and in an official capacity) to have a 3rd season in the works. It'd be a while yet before we hear CN confirm any more seasons.Did I miss something about the renewal announcement?
This is nice. I like the colors, and the random appendages flitting about.Made some fan art, this is of the home world:
I've seen a few. But I can't find any at the moment because the tag is completely saturated with Invader Zim parodies at the mo.I am a little disappointed there are no one legged Peridot pics on Tumblr yet.
I need me some peg legged Piratedot.
Arrrrrr...why you be breaking all my things?
Hiatus is a hell of a drug.Did this thread just become a Harry Potter x Steven Universe fan fiction?
I've seen a few people remark they can hear Connie sing along just before that part, too.I have to wonder why Greg says "believe in" in the extended version but not the TV edit.
Word. Really does seem like that intro was intended for a special event and/or episode, though. But it'd probably be released digitally at some point.I assumed the extended opening would be airing during this week. I need a direct feed version of it, I've watched it like twenty times already!is the most adorable thing in the universe.Lil' Steven
Just caught up to this week's Steven Bomb. GADDAMN I said. I really enjoyed how they took (based on anecdotal evidence *cough* StevenGAF poll *cough*) the 2 most well-liked (I know Pearl got some haters out there, but y'all wack as hell) characters and introduced some more flawed aspects to them both.
Final note: Peridot is a fucking Mega Man villain.Friend Ship cemented that thought in my head. Her arm-cannon and the "stage hazards" (the spikes and lasers) she activated made me come to that conclusion.
Yeah, they announced the renewal for a third season, nothing more than that. If RS and company want more seasons, I'm sure they'll get them from Cartoon Network. The shows is really building mindshare and is one of their top shows; it would take a catastrophic ratings collapse or behind the scenes personal disaster for CN to lose interest.
I wouldn't worry, we're going to get the whole story. It all depends on RS's plan as to how long that's going to take.
I hope they keep it short, especially considering how long seasons are. I don't want this to end up like Adventure Time, which overstayed its welcome.
Can I just say real quick that I'm actually hope that we don't see a redemption arc for either Peridot or Jasper? I'm kinda burnt out on villain redemption arcs in general, and, considering how grounded SU is about things like not always getting what you want, accepting your limitations and the like I just feel like it would be a little more in character for the show if they went with the angle of "no matter what you do, you aren't going to be able to bring everyone over to your side and your way of thinking" instead of the usual "the power of love/friendship can turn anyone."
I'll second this sentiment. I know that when we get something this good we all want to have it go on forever, but, personally, I think I'd rather Sugar and crew end the show when they feel it's at it's logical end rather than keep it going for as long as it's profitable and watch it suffer it's inevitable decline in quality. With how arc/plot driven SU is, I'd imagine their only options to keep it going that long would be to either continually delay the seemingly inevitable showdown with Homeworld/the Diamonds or to continually introduce new threat after new threat shonen anime style, and I don't think either option would be best for the show. Unfortunately, CN owns the IP, so even if Sugar & co. decide they're done with the show, CN could just continue the show without them if they feel it would be worth it, like they did for Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo in the past.
I can see that, and I think that there will definitely be some antagonist that will just not give up, but I'm thinking that will be further down the line. So far the only case we sorta have of redemption is Lapis liking Steven and protecting him, but she was never presented as a true antagonist on the levels of the others. So I imagine that there will be some instance of redemption working before it's shown as not working. Plus, a lot of the show is about how people are flawed and helping them through their flaws, so having some villain redemption seems like a natural evolution from that.Can I just say real quick that I'm actually hope that we don't see a redemption arc for either Peridot or Jasper?

Fan made imagination from MYSTERIOUS BEING in extended intro.
