Steven Universe

I don't mind the ignored alternate history, because the show isn't really about how humanity changed after a failed alien invasion thousands of years ago. Also, I don't mind how humans apparently don't care about the gems much (again, it reminds me of Ponyo).

That isn't to say that the show couldn't be about that, but it isn't, and the writers aren't trying to make it about that. If I were to argue about what the should could have done differently, I'd argue about other stuff.

@Save the Light: Not Switch tho?

No Switch, not a lot of third party devs wanna develop for it. It's got real weak hardware and isn't very friendly to being worked on.

Don't expect to see many games that aren't made by Nintendo on it.

Oh really when?

...It can run skyrim and that's..a six year old game at this point,

That is 7000 years ago. 5000 years ago would be the 3rd millennium. Egypt and Sumer. Indus Valley.

I'm pretty sure the Switch is actually easy to develop for, unlike the Wii U. It can run Unreal 4.

We're also not even halfway through its first year, give it some time. It already has some third party support.

He's thinking of the Wii U clearly

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Everything is exactly the same except there are diamonds on money and pink dots on little green alien toys. Why? Because Rebecca is a coward. "

Yeah, call her a coward ia little bit to far but matter is, She just fall into the typical issue comic books fall often: they want to have great moment with their setting but they dont want to disrupt them too much because it will change the status quo, just look with movie verse: Hydra infiltred Shield would cause a masive crisis in the US alone, having guys like Diana and Thor would put mayor religions into question and that is of course if we leave things like Atlantis, guys like Hulk or many other out of question.

"With Steven Universe, they know what they're doing at least."

Kinda, but at the same time they whole "bunch of no arc episode and them a arc or stevenbomb" really get annoying because it feel homeworld become a threat when they need to be.

But I kinda agree with you adric, in that some element that make Gravity fall, aventure time and Steven universe good is starting to come as a little bit annoying a times.

"The Gem empire reminds me very much of Romen empire"

Really? I see it as british or a least 17 european powers: they have something of a caste system, a very "colonize and bring prospero the backwater places and a revolution based on more enlightening Ideas

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

Homeworld only being a threat when necessary is not what my point about the writers knowing what they're doing is about. I'm saying that the writers planned better than Adventure Time did at certain major plot points instead of coming up with them after the fact. The threat of Homeworld is irrelevant to that point.

Also, I never said there were elements in both Steven Universe and Gravity Falls that got tiring, that was solely referring to Adventure Time.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Announced or released Switch titles include Azure Striker Gunvolt, Shovel Knight, Indivisible, Yooka-Laylee, Sonic Mania, and The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+. All games that, like Save the Light, are focused on digital release through as many platforms as possible.

And why in the world would the hardware be an issue? Save the Light has good art, but in terms of graphic power it's not even remotely close to something like Breath of the Wild.

Huh,so something just occurred to me

Rose might have had two swords,the one Bismuth made for her and everyone knows about,and this hypothetical sword that shattered Pink Diamond

That's at least how i'd explain why a weapon which was designed so it could not shatter gems would suddenly shatter a diamond without third party involvement,everyone was familiar with her weapon of choice,so they just assumed it was her regular sword she was using

If hardware strength isn't the problem, optimization for the system is...

But that's not likely either...

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

It's a tiny studio making it and I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo just didn't really make the offer. Microsoft and Sony pick up tiny little $10 indie games all the time, Nintendo barely does full blown third party developers.

So does Steven have Super-Strength or something? I was watching the Father's Day bomb that aired yesterday and he seems really strong in "Drop Beat Dad".

That was pretty apparent early on...and it only increased.

He's strongetht human.

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

Super strength is one of Steven's powers he's pretty much always had. Probably because he's a Quartz and that's one of their passive abilities.

Of course he know that already. The projection of Rose he made was barefoot. Despite that not being clearly communicated to him through any image of Rose or the words that the flashbacks would have represented. Huh.

Pearl's hologram are a theory I haven't seen brought up, though that brings the same issues with a shapeshifting disguise (color).

edited 18th Jun '17 5:52:48 PM by thatother1dude

Pearl's pallete is actually incredibly similar to Rose's. Pale skin and pink hair. Amethyst has shown that you can create a false Gem when shapeshifting, and her real Gem could be reasonably hidden by "Roses" curly hair.

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.

Trying a comparison◊; the hair is closer than I would have figured (because I figured Pearl's hair as being orange; that goes to show how words affect your ability to remember color), but the skin is super different.

I'd realized that—or that Rose could cover hers by folding her hands in front of her belly.

@Bocaj: I'm partial to the theory that Pearl was a double agent for White Diamond who ended up falling In Love with the Mark.

>A "Pearl done it'

It was all the Pearls!

edit:Pearl could have concealed Rose's gem inside her own,like she did with Lapis's mirror,and then just summoned her like a hologram,that would at least explain how she appeared from nowhere

Regarding which historical empire resembles Homeworld most... I mean, push comes to shove, a lot of historical empires are very broadly similar. Expansionist, "bringing our enlightenment and civilization" as stated goals, plundering natural resources... I think we'd have to get a bit more of a view on Homeworld's rank-and-file to get a sense of which particular one fits (particularly, the question of social mobility - I'm inclined to compare it more with Renaissance or Industrial Age powers rather than Rome if there is comparatively little).

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.
