So it seems like Greg doesn't want to get too involved in the Gem stuff for various reasons. Which I can't exactly blame him for.

soooo...I'm sure a bunch of you have seen those Steven Universe meets DBZ Abridged videos, right?

The person who makes those started a Steven Universe Abridged Series...and it's probably one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. Try to last even just two minutes, I dare you.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Eh, I don't know. I hate reading/watching bad fanworks. It makes me cringe for the characters.

I think bringing up fanworks for being bad is completely pointless.

Judging from those comments, the audio and voices are sounding awful.

That's the worst possible thing to ever happen.

Is Steven the only character in the entire series who's comfortable dancing in a dress?

Connie worried about being seen. Rose perhaps didn't grasp what a video was. Note that Amethyst saw the replay as noteworthy.

That doesn't seem to have any bearing on the question you asked.

God. I want to do that hypothetical Steven Universe abridged just so I can erase the pain of those 30 seconds.

Thing is, how do you abridge an already abridged series? Steven Universe has a very lean runtime, so unless you combined episodes together and created new plots from scratch, I don't see how it would work.

Besides, abridging is even harder when you're working with a series that already has a lot of self-aware humor and pokes fun at itself. Something like Sonic X, DBZ, or that one series with childrens' card games, but for many reasons abridging SU sounds redundant.

And how could you top this?

People usually just do fandubs for western animation, this stuff rarely ever gets abridged.

Though I've always wondered just how much Greg was Stepford Smiling.

Me too. It seems like it's been awhile since we got any additional insight into Greg.

That'd be what, "Steven's Birthday"? Greg and Connie will hopefully return soon now that things are in the clear.

And Peridot and Lapis have let the tsun in their tsundere relationship cool off a bit.

Both can act as stoic introverts if the plot calls for it, so I don't think they would much like to hang in Beach City, though I'll be sad if there's not at least one episode with them interacting with the human side cast. Odds are good they will eventually, at least once.

P-dot wasn't being intro...verted, she just wanted to finish the drill. That's perfectly fine.

There'll probably be quite few of perry interaction with humans episode, that'd be...a wasted opportunity.

Greg relationship with gems is...complicated, is clear both amathyst and Pearl are not happy because Greg "take" Rose from them, also i think he have some infiriotiy complex regarding the gems and how diferent they are.

Since they seemed to have finished the drill around or about the day the Cluster woke up, Peridot had a point.

What seperates Steven Universe from Dragon Ball Z in terms of their portrayal of fusion?

Da proceeding results...thas pretty blatant difference.

One gain size and power and its own personality.

One gain power and power and a mix of both base personalities.

Fusion in DBZ is a martial arts technique, and it's portrayed like one. It's a means for fighters to get a temporary boost of power, so it's actually what Homeworld WANTS fusion to be like. In SU Fusion is more complicated than that, it represents relationships taking on a form of their own, with the fusion produced being more than the sum of her parts.

Speaking of which, did DBZ have as much of an emotional focus on fusion that SU takes on it?

No, of course not. There's no emotion behind DBZ fusion at all.
