If the purely human related stuff was cut out, it would take away...

The one element that lacks focus: Gem/Human relationships...

Of course.

if you cut out any human related interactions you might as well set it on a different planet since the whole point of the crystal gems to defend the Earth and the life on it

Or it could be set in post-apocalyptia...since the Corruptions rarely ever attacked populated areas, it wouldn't be much different.

And when Gem stuff does attack hyoo-mans, it'll actually matter much more...because they'll care about preventing human extinction.

Remember Say Uncle? What Would Steven Universe Characters Think of Bill Cipher?

Ranging from the Crystal Gems (Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl) to the Homeworld Gems. (Lapis, Peridot, Jasper, and even the Diamonds) What would each member of each group think of everyone's favorite isosceles monster?

I apologize for coming up with stuff like this for the millionth time but I REALLY needed to get this off my chest.

Ok I understand. I guess the Crystal Gems would oppose Bill till their dying breath...wait they dont breathe lol.

Homeworld could make a deal with Bill to try and DESTROY THE CRYSTAL GEMS ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Did that help a little? Because I dont like it when peple suffer.

Anyways, moving this back on topic, anyone else think there's an upcoming Stevenbomb?

I've been wondering about Perl's reluctance to shapeshift and whether it has anything to do with how many times she's been poofed,like throughout the war Perl was possibly poofed multiple times ,and there was that one episode where she was poofed and spent like a week in her immobile gem state so maybe the damage they take each time lengths how long it takes to heal.

It could be that if you get poofed enough times you'll eventually get shattered.

edit

Definitely a chance of a Steven Bomb,all the signs are there,it's all a matter of when[up]

Come to think of it, have we ever seen her shapeshift before, even once?

I don't know, there's something a little fishy about her claim that all gems can shapeshift early on in Season 1. Peridot demonstrably can't (as we saw in "Too Short to Ride"), and while you could argue that she was made after the Homeworld Gems started cutting corners on gem production, the only gems we've seen using that power are Steven, Amethyst, Garnet and Bismuth.

We saw her put on her spacesuit so that was minor bit of changing,but we've never seen her make a full transformation from one thing to the other

I have a theory that maybe Lion is Pink Diamond's Pearl and that she got shapeshifter locked into the Lion form. Pearls might be bad at shapeshifting because they're prone to mode lock or something.

You could read a lot into Pearl's line about 'all gems being capable of shapeshifting' but in the end she might be excluding herself as a gem because of the way they act as servants rather soldiers,and abilities like shape shifting aren't available to them because of their low status.

I was watching an LP of the Telltale Batman game. In episode 2 Bruce goes to a bar and you can see some graffiti on one wall that reads "Keep Gotham Weird."

Because it's so easy for her do,after all since Pearl is a gem like her she should logically be able to,nevermind that that Pearls and Amethysts likely have vastly different roles in gem society and since Amethyst has never experienced that caste system she can't understand why Pearl might not enjoy the same abilities as her.

But as a counterpoint there is a possibility that Pearls are capable of shapeshifting but their society discourages it.Crystal gem Pearl likely still sees shapeshifting as something she shouldn't do and views it as improper,even all her years of being free from gem society

Peridot can't shapeshift either, which could mean she has a similar problem to Pearl in that her place in gem society means gems of her type aren't expected to,or as frequently mentioned Peridot is part of a later generation of gems where they cut corners. [up][up]

Pearl also shapeshifted her clothes in "Beach Party".

I think you guys are overanalyzing why Pearl doesn't shapeshift. Way back in Sugar's 2014 AMA, someone asked why gems besides Amethyst don't shapeshift more and Sugar basically said not everyone has her aptitude or willingness to use it.

graffiti on one wall that reads "Keep Gotham Weird."
Both that and "Keep Beach City Weird" are referencing a real life slogan and its snowclones.
