Those clips just make me think this show needs to get Dana Snyder already.

I'd love to see Lapis and Peridot as the Mooninites. Nothing can defeat the quad laser.

I'm pretty sure Steven's last name actually is Universe. Greg said he had it changed and he'd been going by the name 'Greg Universe; since before Steven was born.

If I may offer my opinion as to why Kevin is the show's Hate Sink when Jasper's rap sheet is so much more prominent...

Jasper has unquestionably done bad things, and she has been consistently more antagonistic and threatening towards the heroes than Kevin could ever hope to be. However, she's also a badass space warrior with an awesome design and explanations for why she acts the way he does coming from both the show (revenge for Pink Diamond) and Word of God (intense self-loathing)

Kevin, on the other hand, is an unpleasant douchebag who acted creepy towards Stevonnie, is awful to everyone he interacts with, and openly admits that he has no excuses and acts like an asshole because it amuses him. Plus, unlike almost every other character in the series, he has absolutely no cool or badass traits to back him up.

There are aspects of Jasper that fans can cling to and find interesting, maybe even likable. Kevin has no such luck.

Kevin has a cool name...that's good enough.

I don't know... The three Kevins that pop in my head at first are the kid from Home Alone, the kid from We Need to Talk About Kevin, and Kevin James. None of which I associate with being 'cool' in any way.

Its notable that Kevin was an in-unvierse hate sink for Steven too until he realized he was giving Kevin too much power by hating him so hard

So now he's probably cheerfully indifferent to him.

Cheerfully indifferent, now he's a real boy.

[up][up]Just the name, the character itself is fine.

Kevin Eleven?

Hey, for the Retsupurae fans, maybe Carl and Andy could be part of Tiny's crew.

How about Kevin from Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy? He's apparently the resident cool kid of the Cul-de-sac but is in reality a jackass bully who cares more about his bike anyone else which got him dumped by Nazz in the finale movie like a loser. I guess Kevin usually is the resident asshole who acts like hes the coolest guy around but is obviously not.

Though I admit I do like Kevin here if only cause he is a hilariously douchey jerk. The guys got an ego the size of a solar-system.

I figured this show's Kevin was part of the Revolutionary Girl Utena references.

To repeat myself, nearly every character named Kevin is a loser, an asshole, and/or evil.

Greg said he had it changed and he'd been going by the name 'Greg Universe; since before Steven was born.
Even that doesn't matter. Steven's birth name is whatever Greg put on the birth certificate; the last name doesn't have to be the same as his.

Steven doesn't have a birth certificate. Technically he is a citizen since he was born in the United States, but he has no legal documentation.

The hell makes you think that? Just because wasn't born in a hospital doesn't mean Greg didn't get him a birth certificate.

I think it was Burnett, or one of the other writers, that said Steven lives off the grid. He has no legal presence.

Did he say Steven lives off the grid or just the gems though? I can't remember.

I was mistaken - it was Ian.

Here.

Nope. Steven and the Crystal Gems are totally off the grid

Huh I gotta question that.

Does Steven legally exist then cause if not that's a bit of an issue there.
