Mr. Smiley being gay isn't a bad thing Imo. It just feels forced somehow weather the time they have to tell the story is at fault or its just not a thing IDK. We also don't see alot of him to begin with so who knows!

i mean, a character's sexuality is allowed to be something other than straight without it being a plot point. someone's sexuality shouldn't define their life and while its important for shows to openly discuss character's sexualities and their subsequent struggles, it's just as important to have those kinds of small details in the background.

I know I'm going to get some flack for this but I'm not a fan of Mr. Smiley being gay. It feels like it pushing this show into a corner where it becomes "that gay cartoon show."

Welcome to the Doctor Who thread circa 2007 or so.

At this point it's not really "Will they or won't they", it's more of a "when". The characters would have to do something incredibly drastic (or die) to derail that ship.

I hope we get some kind of episode or even just scene where Connie meets Peridot and Lapis. Connie would have a super intelligent space dweeb to nerd out with, and she can go appreciate their works of meep morp.

I wonder if they are going to address Steven's super-strength or unusual durability any time soon? Seriously, his fights with Bismuth and Amethyst would have turned a normal person to mince.

On the other hand America seems to be easier about lesbians than gay men. :shrug:
Only insomuch as a ton of men will jerk off to lesbian porn, then loudly express their opinion that gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry.

As with most people, we're only allowed to exist when we're benefiting "normal people."

Yeah, I'm hoping that'll happen more this season. More gem and human friendships would be great.

I also want corruption to be explored more.

That's why I'm really hoping "Onion Gang" involves Onion being pals with some corrupted Gem monsters. That'd kill two birds with one stone!

Ay yo, Space Cadet Omoly here are my thoughts as requested 9 eps in:

-Show is funny.
-Actual main character is annoying* but less so now that I realize he's supposed to be like nine or something and so is basically constantly being babysat by uh late teens/very early 20-somethings?
-Various hints of deeper backstory keep me invested even though I'm still on the fence.
-Pearl kind of owns.

No it was homestuck thread drama.
I just got really annoyed that SCO kept bringing up the show even after admitting it had nothing to do with homestuck and was asked to stop talking about it.

Yeah, lots of people assumed Steven was supposed to be a teenager or something when the show first started airing. But no, he's still just a kid and the other gems are literally raising him because his mom (their former leader) is dead and that's why he's always around them and why they're so patient with him.

And yes, Pearl owns. That is the correct opinion to have.

Hey I think the show opens up kinda poorly, so if you're already at least enjoying it just know that it gets a lot better. I binged the whole thing over a weekend and went from "ehhhh" to "goddamn I can't stop thinking about this show". It's in a super good place right now too. The smartest thing it does early on is not overwhelm you with new info, it pretty consistently introduces like one or two significant facts about the world or a character each episode which makes it a show that grows really naturally.

the order on Hulu basically works if you're lazy; IIRC the only issue it had in season 1 was that a few episodes got moved to after The Return/Jailbreak (which is the proper season finale) but it's not a huge deal. don't think the order of events is ever hosed up to the point you start getting spoiled on things or anything like that, at least not in S1
