Im watching Steven Universe for the first time and like. You all lied. This show is amazing. The characters are great, the storytelling is fascinating, and the way it handles moral questions is really thoughtful and interesting. Im really upset at what tumblr and the internet more broadly did to steven universe.
#i watched half of the first season yesterday while I was shelling pecans and yeah#have the understanding that it is a kids’ show it is a show for children that you could catch one 12 min episode of knowing nothing#and be entertained by#and you get this thing that is a combo of like indie slice of life comics and magical realism space adventure#and everyone’s like ohhhh Jail Break is where it gets good#fuck off Laser Light Canon is where it gets good#it’s the 2nd episode#you wanna know what this show’s like watch Laser Light Canon#and it’s the second episode so we’re talking still the very first 30 minute block here#anyway i feel like the discourse about this show is not even about the show itself#frustrating#steven universe
YES. Laser Light Cannon is where I fell in love too, that episode set up the show’s entire thesis and then the show stuck with it. Episode 2 is where you see that Steven Universe is going to be something special.
