I don't think that's the only factor at this point because he's like 5x more mature than where he first started and he's been through some shit man.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

[up]He feels more mature, but he doesn't feel older (not more than the actual time between those points).

I always saw Too Many Birthdays as Steven's shapeshifting powers being thrown out of whack by his emotional state.

My cousin was a late bloomer, and he looked pretty much the same until just a couple years ago. Hell, you can compare for yourself, since he's decently famous in the skateboarding world, and has been for years, just google 'Trey Wood'.

Anecdotally, I've known adults who have pretty much the same face as they did before puberty. I also know people who didn't really start growing much until late (16+) puberty. Heck, I even know a few that pretty much didn't grow at all. So Steven combining the first with either of the two after doesn't strike me as particularly odd, even before you factor in the fact that he's only 50% human.

"Steven's Dream" is now back on the website and video-on-demand, while some video-on-demand services have the other episodes as well (mine only has "Steven's Dream").

A CN representative told Polygon that those episodes were posted intentionally.

"This is actually something we've been doing for some time with a few of our shows through what we call the 'See It First' element of the [Cartoon Network] App," they said.

"It helps us build awareness for upcoming episodes and for new show launches before they go on the linear platform. For example, we did this last September with our new series Mighty Magiswords, and in December, we sneaked Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs and My Knight and Me."

What does this mean for spoiler policy on this board?

I really don't trust this guy's assessment to be an accurate representation of the intents of CN as a whole. CN does intentionally post some episodes on the app/website first for their "see it first" campaign, but he's ignoring how often episodes were posted without any such notification and then quickly taken down. And, even if the ones in charge of "See It First" released all five episodes on purpose, them being taken down after less than 12 hours suggest someone else at the network thought it was a bad idea.

Regardless, even if this was the intent of the entire network, discussing all the episodes freely does not seem fair. Even among people who have CN, many still can't watch them legally because they missed the narrow window of initial posting and their provider doesn't have them on VOD.

People could start discussing "Steven's Dream" in this thread, because it's up again now, but I'm not sure that would be a great idea.

"Steven's Dream" I think we can treat like those episodes that premiered in France: fair game on the recap page (if nowhere else on the wiki), but not in the non-spoiler forum thread.

[up] I'll agree with this. It's already out there with the network's consent, so we should document it. We just won't openly discuss it until the official premiere.

I'm more surprised that they're making a Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs show.

Lots of animated films get a TV series,although it obviously won't have the same production values.

Now,how about a Steven Universe Movie?

If I had any ideas it would be resolve around Rose starting the rebellion and end with Steven's creation

I looked it up, and it seems to be done in the same style as the 2-D animation sequences from the movies. It also doesn't look very good. The humor's intact, and well done, but the characters feel flatter and not as well written.

So since the new episodes are even considered leaks by CN anymore, should we still prevent the tropes from being put on the wiki? I understand not talking about it in this thread, but they're still official.

For the ones taken off the site, yes, because anyone that didn't get to watch them when they were there can't now.

There's a weird disconnect between what they're saying and what they're doing. I could buy that this was an early access bonus (kind of like how some movies are released digitally before DVD/Blu-Ray releases), but only if they had been consistently up the whole time, and if the way they were released was consistent across platforms getting the early release (what with the reports of some having just "Steven's Dream," and others having all five episodes). This reads like a classic CYA announcement.

Like I said before, the most likely reason is one person put them all up on purpose, then someone higher found out too late and told them not too.

Well, the idea that the execs and the distribution channels disagreeing is plausible. That said, it's just as plausible that someone at the distribution level screwed up (maybe they accidentally released whole episodes when they originally meant to release clips, or maybe they marked the wrong dates for release for the files, or some other minor screw-up) and this is just an I Meant to Do That announcement.

I kind of favor the latter suggestion, because "someone goofed" is always a plausible explanation, and it has a bit of logical elegance to it. That said, the "internal disagreement" theory is pretty rational, too.

How come people draw Peri's gem upside-down so often in fanart?

There's one I just saw, but it isn't just this person, I happen across a fanart with Peri's gem upside-down probably every other month. I'm gonna start collecting links to them when I see them because it's a thing.

Oh. Maybe I have seen that before? Can't remember. As for why, well, uh, aesthetics? The urge to draw an upright triangle?
