They also take hundreds of years to form though. So maybe not quite that many.
The Gem empire has been around for thousand of years,and since it takes hundreds of years for gems to emerge I imagine there's still high number of them.I wonder if the process for creating gems has been perfected during that thousand years or maybe they are still relying on the same process since they first started

have a listen and have a link to my discord serverKevin is just your typical Jerkass. Not really someone truly evil like the Diamonds.
A Complete Monster goes WAY beyond simple douchebaggery. They are an individual so utterly depraved that they are beyond any hope of redemption. Case in point, Emperor Palpatine. THAT is who you call a Complete Monster.

Truly, they learned a valuable lesson...
Don't get mad at jerks.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.In the situation it seemed more like it was about not obsessing over jerks
It wasn't really about Kevin.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThat's anti-troll logic...

Similar to the Avatar: The Last Airbender artbook, this is more than just a compilation of sketches, as it also has various production notes and concepts. Hence the full title Steven Universe: Art & Origins.
I'm glad they shifted towards a more scifi tone honestly. Helps it stand out more, especially since most gynocentric shows tend to lean more heavily towards the magical side of things.
The main three being themed around various things sounds pretty cool but I could see how it would get complicated fast as more characters entered the fray.
I think if the show had remained centred around fantasy it would have become too similar to Adventure Time instead of being it's own thing,Steven Universe is cut from same cloth as Adventure Time however since Sugar worked on both,the pilot even had a monster could have come from the Land of Ooo,

have a listen and have a link to my discord serverI'm confident that we'll see the group from the Zoo again, but I wasn't entirely sure how. But if Gems are abducting humans there's a good chance they'll be taken to the Zoo. So maybe the Crystal Gems will rescue the Beach City residents, and the Zoomans, and maybe convert the Amethysts to their side?
One particularly good point about Complete Monster that isn't being discussed is if the character in question is already past the Moral Event Horizon - regardless of whether or not it will happen, could it be theoretically possible to redeem the character? Sure, Kevin is a Jerkass and I strongly suspect that he's just so minor that the writers aren't going to bother with trying to redeem him. That said, if they suddenly did want to turn Kevin into The Atoner, I think it's well within reasonableness that he could be redeemed, if he really worked at it. For all the jerky things he did, all of that could be walked back. Yes, I know few actually do walk back from it, but it could be done.
For comparison's sake, look at Peridot - she actively tried to cause an Earth-Shattering Kaboom, and that's way worse than anything Kevin did. Yes, there are mitigating factors to what she did (which is why people generally accept that she was eligible for a Heel–Face Turn), but the fact is, we've already established a really high bar for what can be forgiven and redeemed on this show. I don't think Kevin really could qualify for Complete Monster outside of events that would only happen in a really Dark Fic.
If there's any Complete Monster debate regarding Steven Universe, it's totally in the person of Yellow Diamond. Blue Diamond is way too into Knight Templar territory (you can easily argue that her aims are sympathetic and possibly even good at points, but her methods are very much not), and the theoretical White Diamond is still too much of a cipher to know. Yellow Diamond, though, I think it depends on how much you think her Noblesse Oblige and her attitude towards both BD and Pink Diamond give her enough of a positive character trait to keep her from fully qualifying (personally, I would lean towards YD not being one as yet, but should she ever shed those qualities, she could slide into it).
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.I've always felt a Complete Monster in Steve Universe would be someone like Lord Vodelmort,a character who is completely incapable of loving anything and exists solely to hate and was created through circumstances which were thoroughly tragic
