If that's all it takes, then that makes this even less worth complaining about...

"We barely know anything about their world in general especially when its not gem related." - That's the disadvantage of having Steven as the permanent POV character. Steven doesn't seem to care that much about what's going on in Brazil or in Siberia, he's only concerned about Beach City and whatever threatens it (which is, mostly, Homeworld).

Not every aspect of a Constructed World has to serve a specific narrative purpose. Indeed, the vast majority of well-realized fantasy worlds have elements that are just there to add flavour to the setting. Complaining that Steven Universe "wastes potential" by setting up a different version of Earth is kind of like decrying the worldbuilding in A Song of Ice and Fire as bad because there are two whole continents in that universe that the protagonists never visit. Or saying that Lord of the Rings has bad worldbuilding because there are two Blue Wizards who never play any role in the story.

If you're trying to do proper worldbuilding, you have to give sense of, well, a world. And in a whole world, not everything is going to be immediately relevant to the protagonist's story.

I will be honest here if for example RS would have been asked in a Q&A is asked about this subject and whatever her answer might be. Be it because gems actions, because thats how it always, because they wanted their earth to look different. I would just accept it and move on.

If you're just itching for an explanation, well, the show already does explain it, at least as much as it can be expected to: The Earth looks different because of the gems fucking around with it. That is pretty heavily implied by the presence of Gem technology in the middle of that hole in Siberia, and by the fact that the end goal of the Earth's colonization is to literally hollow it out.

Asking for more of an explanation than that is honestly just demanding to be spoon-fed information that is already pretty easy to deduce. And information that isn't all that relevant to the plot, at that.

I think it was because the movie sing along would have had this after so it would have been early anyway

I think we can agree discussion for "Homeworld Bound" goes in the leak thread.

You know it's funny that everything about Spinel became an Ironic Echo.
