A friend of mine works/ed on this show (for the sake of anonymity) and though I can't share a lot of what she's told me, I feel it's okay to share that she finds the release schedule stupid, nonsensical and harmful to the show. I mentioned people defending it because it's app-focused and she said that's ridiculous, no one else in the industry is doing it like this and there are already plenty of companies that are successfully targeting app-based release. In fact, none of my friends, from interns to executive producers, understand the method to CN's maddness. It is a bad approach.

I feel comfortable in saying Lapis' rapid, stupid disappearance was probably to give Jasper room to show up without that dynamic being in play right away.

I mean, going to Homeworld was pretty run away-y. Shinji would not approve.

Yeah but the way it was handled is suspect, considering otherwise the show could comfortably ignore Peridot and Lapis (even when it doesn't make sense) because they live like 15 minutes away.

I will state for the record that the only possible outcomes for Jasper's character are either development or nondevelopment, so I have quantumly spoiled nothing!

Your friend definitely has my sympathies-I can't imagine how frustrating it has to be to work on a show like this, where you pour blood, sweat, and tears into your product only for CN to dick around with airing them for months on end before the episodes inevitably get leaked.

Good to know the people making Steven Universe think the release schedule is terrible just as much as the people watching it.

It's also been proven to have decreased interest in the show so I have no idea why it's still like this.

Anyway, forget Jasper, do you have any Centipeetle spoilers?

I have no idea how Garnet or Peridot will cope with the Pink Diamond twist, so it's like way too early to bring up how Lapis or Jasper will fit in.

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
I stop thinking of this show as much because of the weird scheduling, it's true. It just feels safer to not get hyped up. Instead I become so numb. I will, however, confess to still having Diamond dreams, so I wouldn't truly be able to ever stop thinking of this show in actuality.

Give me my drat cartoon!!! I wanna see colorful ladies do things!!! I want to see every possible gem fusion and gem type complete with pages of lore.txt for each!!! I want sour cream!!!

As one of the people who has defended the release schedule in the past, I'd just like to say that I also think it's loving stupid, I was just trying to get in the heads of the madmen running the show.


Also just give it up we all know "Jasper" is actually code for "White Diamond is actually the Cluster sent backwards through time to ancient Homeworld"

I’m honestly starting to wonder if they’re genuinely trying to keep the show from getting too much attention for any length of time because it’s too gay or whatever. :shrug:

It’s a dumb theory but gently caress, the whole situation is nonsense. If they prevent the viewerbase from growing they get the accolades of being progressive without inviting the attention of the regressive public? I don’t even know anymore.

I honestly think it's just incompetence. They keep releasing merch for the show, they have clear financial reasons to want it to succeed and faith that the stuff they make will sell, but they also don't want to release new episodes regularly or even let people know when the show will start airing again because ??????

I think they're quite happy at keeping it at cult popularity, basically for the reasons Oblivious says, while making modest overtures towards merchandising and so on.

Of course, I also think they missed the boat because this show was at its height around the time of Super Watermelon Island or thereabouts.

I agree with you and this is probably it, but if the true reason turned out to be that Cartoon Network was trying to secretly trying to starve off Steven Universe's fanbase in order to get rid of dumbass 14 year olds who send death threats over fanart, I'd be okay with that. It would still hurt, but it'd understandable. I could hope...
