Steven Universe Future

This is a follow up to our favorite show that deals with heavier themes. If you are looking for light, look elsewhere.

Steven is a little older and like many of us, has had time to reflect on his childhood. The traumatic events he's endured has taken a physical and emotional toll (as they often do) on him and he doesn't know how to handle it.

This is a very relatable second chapter that has the same charm and story driven characters that we love from the first edition.

Anyone who has struggled with PTSD, depression/anxiety or anything mental health related will find a comforting story here.

Bonus for new music with an entire soundtrack! Rebecca Sugar does it again.

I thought the show just took place during summertime. But the revelation that he never went to school at is...bad parenting.

I now have a low opinion of his father. Thanks for that.

So Steven is depressed but he does not know why. He says he never went to school and never got to mingle with regular kids. I have an idea. GO TO SCHOOL.

He also asks Connie to fuse with him. Steven apparently thinks that fusing is greater than or equal to marriage, relationships, and sex. But he is only 16..? And Connie is....umm...18? She must be if she is going to college. And not a single person tries to explain to him the differences between having a relationship and becoming one with someone. One requires work.

So yeah...this future series is not bad, but ultimately goes nowhere. Steven is depressed on like episode 5 and continues to be depressed all the way until the end. Steven is so powerful, but so stupid, or naieve.

I did find it funny that Steven never put together that the blonde girl is gay with Chet, who is defintiely a girl. But also this lets us know he is not mature enough to move out on his own

So does Steven want to go to school and be with connie and learn how to be a human being? No...he just wants to become a hippie like his dad...Again because his dad gives bad advice and is apparently lazy and not the greatest role model.

Bing watched the original series and loved it. Watched this one for 5 episodes and just lost interest. I heard it gets weird in cringy as the series goes on but I didn't make it that far. I was interested to see the characters continue to develop and exploring that universe, but instead all the interesting stuff and character changes were off screen and the message seemed to be "things just randomly change that's what growing up is".

Magic tricks are only interesting as long as you don't know how they're done, the moment they're explained you get the "oh!" satisfaction for just a mere moment that retroactively ruins the magic trick.

Replace magic trick with pretty much every concept or character the show (not just this spin off but also the original) explained away for no real reason, all for cheap satisfaction that doesn't lead anywhere or stay.

As for this spin off itself - it's bad, maybe a little better than the movie, the main conflict is solved in a way so utterly moronic and on brand you'd think it a phantasy of a 6 year old who just had an espresso with a whole tablespoon of sugar, the only place this show and it's world belongs is as far as away from the original team as possible.

Steven Universe Future is a cartoon series created by Rebecca Sugar and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The animation of the show was actually stunning, and when I watched the whole sixth season, it gave me chills. Steven seems to be smarter than Rick Sanchez from "Rick and Morty," and the plot of this show is actually stunning, as if it were ahead of its time. The show is so well-written that it's almost divine-100 out of 10 stars!
