feotakahariMy issues with Steven Universe run so much shallower than the “SU critical” crowd. They post all this stuff about race and class and sex and what SU says about them, and I don’t think SU said most of those things, not even accidentally or in passing. In fact, I think SU said the exact opposite of some of the things it’s criticized for.
My issue with SU is that I think it needed to either ditch the ending, or else ditch Keeping It Together. Keeping It Together, specifically, went a thousand times harder than it needed to, and even though it’s one of my favorite episodes, it casts a shadow over every other episode involving the Diamonds. SU could still have Nightmare Hospital, and a slightly modified Gem Drill, as long as it didn’t have Keeping It Together.
