Hmm. I wonder. When Steven eats, does his food get a moment of newfound life before suddenly being chewed up and swallowed?

From what I've noticed, it seems to take a little while for the whole living part to kick in.

Steven's powers can also bring minerals to life. Does that make him eating salt weird?

All living organisms need some salt.

Probably the gems too, considering they absorb whats around them before they exit the ground.

OK. So what if he has indigestion? What if he doesn't digest his food in a timely manner? Can Steven eat without his food suffering a horrible death at some point in the process?

Not all plants in contact with Steven's spit become sentient. See when he plucked a flower in the movie, or in the episode Volleyball.

But some percentage of plants do. Cactus Steven was an accident.

And so where the watermelons. In both cases, as well as with Pumpkin, it took soil and a whole night for them to develop.

And while sapience is obviously in doubt. even plants can be said to be sentient in a certain fashion, when you consider that certain plant processes, like the situational release of volatile compounds in response to certain stimuli (e.g. light, injury, cold), are similar to animal senses.

Hasn't there been recent studies that show that plants actually communicate with each other through pheromones? Like, the smell of cut grass is actually grass screaming in pain and warning other grass that there is something violent nearby.

"Two decades ago, while researching her doctoral thesis, ecologist Suzanne Simard discovered that trees communicate their needs and send each other nutrients via a network of latticed fungi buried in the soil — in other words, she found, they “talk” to each other"

First result on Google,trees and plants indeed have a network

Vegetarians just eat creatures without the means to scream in a voice they can hear.

I have no actual problem with vegetarians/vegans. It's a respectable life choice.

If their "screams" are in the form of chemicals, then it's possible we can sense (and so "hear") them as smells and flavor. And find them delicious.

Many of the fruits and vegetables we eat are biologically meant to be eaten (or at least the ones with seeds are) as that plant as evolved to have it's seeds spread through the digestive systems of animals. Fruits are the reproductive organs of plants (think about that next time you bite into an apple).

More generally, few plants have to be killed to be eaten, whereas few animals can recover from losing something edible.

Poison Ivy glares
That's because that version of Poison Ivy is too stupid to realize making meat requires a much larger quantity of plant matter. Usually, Ivy just cares about deforestation for land development, not growing crops (that's also why a lot of real deforestation occurs, but Poison Ivy attacking farmers would still seem weird).

I've noticed that some versions of Poison Ivy want to destroy all animal based life for damaging plant life. Either she (or the writers) fail to understand that plants are just as dependent on animals as animals are dependent on plants.

A sing along version of Steven Universe The Movie will be shown in theaters March 23. There will be an advanced screening of a new Steven Universe Future episode.

I remember the sing-a-long is also airing (or already aired?) on TV as well. Hope the episodes on are TV not long after—it was surprising that no one leaked from that early theatrical screening of the movie.

I think we can all agree that anything from that screening goes in the spoiler thread.

I wonder who will be the final antagonist of the series? Will it be the Sneople? Will it be revealed that the Sneople created the Gem race?

Yeah, the "Steven's trauma is going to escalate to the point he will Corrupt himself and transform into that pink kaiju from the opening" theory is looking more and more likely with each passing episode, and that seems like the kind of thing that would be the big dramatic finale to a series.
