What would you wanna see from a new Steven Universe series? Let us know! THUMBNAIL ART BY JANKYBONES: x.com/jankybone CO-EDITED BY: x.com/JoshuaCriger HOSTED BY: x.com/AwestruckVox
A "bio gem" concept would have been ideal, that is, a gem made from organic matter such as Amber. And just like Cell from Dragon Ball Z, this gem would have to feed on living beings to increase her power.
I remember when I had a theory that Pink Lion was a secret experiment (more secret than the cluster) that involved fusing animals with remains of broken gems in order to create cheap soldiers without wasting gems.
I like to think from the reference image he’s giving at 17:34 that the blades are made of pure calcium taken from the bones (though that would probably have some kind of lasting and dangerous side effect so it’d probably wouldn’t work out)
Not gonna lie i still remember hearing about the "new crystal gem" on the CN Twitter and getting so hype, how disappointed I was when i saw it was a Ronaldo episode
Honestly, most of the teenagers and up I saw conversing back then correctly guessed that Bloodstone was gonna be Ronaldo's Gemsona, the only people who fell for it and got excited were literal children. That's honestly what annoyed me the most about this whole thing, like, you're not fooling the crazy theorists you're mocking with the character of Ronaldo, you're just flipping off your actual target audience.
I actually had an idea for a new series called "Steven Universe: Eyes of Rose" That would focus fully on the gem war, the creation/lore of diamonds, the entirety of Era 1, and all the things Rose did in the past. This would also allow us to get to see more fusions! Like Smoky Quartz 1.0, and Sunstone 1.0! Imagine how different they would look, and how much stronger they would be!
@@KevinMineCraftardo Sneeple homeworld is a small, rust belt planet on the other side of the galaxy that’s basically the Illinois of its solar system. They pose very little threat to human or gem.
A human agent secretly trying to create human-gem hybrids is definitely intriguing idea. As for other aliens, just give me Sneaple (preferably as the Gem’s creators) and cat-like aliens reminisce of Cookie Cat and I’ll be a happy camper.

Things I would love for Steven universe. 1. A spin off series with either Connie, Lars or perhaps spinel as the lead character going on their own adventure. 2. A Steven universe arc where Steven discovers that there are other gem/human hybrids like him but hidden. 3. A origin story of gem history and the creator of the diamonds. 4. A arc about their more diamonds out there like a black diamond. 5. A male gem variant of gems like coal or iron.
"Spinel as the lead character going on their own adventure" "A male gem variant of gems like coal of iron" Let him cook now. Let him cook! I SAID. LET. HIM. COOK!
Im all for number 5, but imagine if it was moreso a seperate species that were all metals instead of gems. And their rulers would the toughest metals like tungesten or titanium.
The fact that Steven Universe still has a fan base without a new episode in the series in years is wild to me, I never knew something with no news or announcements for a new season since Future ended could still be popular
@@mylesjude233maybe Bluebird (aka Aquamarine and Eyeball Ruby) trying to bring back home world’s original status quo only to defeat when one of their allies turn the entire rebel army in.
@@ideamediaanalysis8737 Sounds awesome. I'd see Eyeball and Aquamarine accumulate power within the vaccum left by the Diamonds. Form a coalition with Yellow Zircon if she runs as president of Homeworld and wins, Holly Blue Agate, and much more.
@HiAgainTheNameIsStillAyle Except we literally saw a democratic election campaign in Future that confirms the Diamonds are no longer in power, but go off I guess.
I would love it if the new Steven Universe focused on the theme of mommy/daddy/parent/authority issues cuz it would allow us to explore things like Greg's parents, Steven's thoughts and feelings on his mom, some of the homeworld gems disapproving of the diamonds' decision to change the status quo, and maybe even focus on what the diamonds think of their own creators, if said creators are even still alive.
They did that. Unless you want another flashback episode that features Greg from his childhood all the way up till he met Rose, The authority figured issue was already explored
@@seeleunit2000 I meant something like Greg reconnecting with his parents. Also gems like Bluebird Azurite and Holly Blue Agate are still around after future.
Something that I saw being thrown around way back in the day was the concept of a totally new race of aliens which were the opposite of the Gems, being a race made of different metals that are exclusively masculine, although some of which exuding more feminine qualities just like how the Gems are all feminine with some having masculine qualities. I think it could be a really interesting idea, but it would be a lot to cover in one season or movie
That'd be cool, but I'd hold off on something like that for now.😅 The political landscape rn might cause it to become something crappy, especially if Rebecca sugar isn't the one working on it.
a human villain could be a good idea Perhaps a scientist who has experimented with corrupted gems and explored ancient gem constructions believes that CristalGems are dangerous and is waiting for the right moment to make the discovery public(after Steven is captured).
To add to the diamond origin story, they could kick the arc off with Steven meeting his Demayo grandparents, and then something about that meeting gets him thinking about his OTHER grandparentts
I think the "Hasn't Steven had enough?" point is less about the show's longevity and more about Steven himself. The new series is inevitably going to have drama, and drama means trauma, and Steven already has more than enough trauma.
To piggyback off your “jasper faces off with human protestors” idea, I had a terrible thought that’d make the situation worse bc we know damn well she’d refer to Steven as “my Diamond” during the incident either out of loyalty or bc she simply wants another war so she has a purpose again.
I wish we actually got a bloodstone in the show and if that gem was real what part of the hierarchy would it have been. What would its personality be, what would its weapon be etc. Instead we got an episode no one wanted.
i think the art that was used in the video is a nice foreshadowing of what bloodstone would have been, the gem itself would have been a weapon used to mind control organic beings whether that be controlling them to be soldiers or to simply help the cause of the diamonds and their race to control the universe
Even if CN never gives us more Steven Universe, videos like this continue to keep my hopeless inner teenage fanboy hoping. Because of idea videos like these, my fanon will never stop expanding! Thank you for continuing to care about SU ❤
Bloodstone is actually chalcedony, like onyx, but it's also known by another name: Blood jasper. I like that story of Rhodonite's origin. It reminds me of Hawkman, in a way. A romance across multiple lifetimes.
I love the human or government group as the main antagonist concept as they dealt with corrupted gems and diamonds themselves, but we haven't worked with stevens human side yet so taking things back to earth can be a really good way to set the darker tone. And I want the idea of forced human gem fusion as that idea is so twisted and builds off what the gem shard fusions had
I used to be one of those people who thought there was enough SU content and fans should be satisfied with everything they already got. Then I sat and watched the entirety of the series for the first time including the movie (haven't gotten to Future just yet but I plan to) and I get it now. All of these characters are so lovable and fun and now I want more of them too.
I feel like if they wanted to do more they could just animate the gem war as a prequel from the eyes of centipedal like how adventure time goes into some of the other characters with obsidian
Imagine if bloodstone was the kind of gem that acts like a parasite by possessing humans and other life forms, and once it got what it wants, it then leaves the host and then hides after that
Are we sure Ronaldo doesn't have fourth wall powers ? I'm positive this becomes s a thing everyone in the cast is going to be like, are we sure Ronaldo isn't psychic ?
Pink could do it because she’s a Diamond which in a way is vastly superior to other gems, an argument you could have is that Yellow Diamond could give willing gems wombs to carry children cause at Future we saw that she could manipulate the forms of gems but it could take a while cause she’s still repairing shattered gems last we saw her. But then again they all visited Steven at the ending
If the show returns I hope they switch to rigged animation by Flying Bark or Mercury filmworks I can’t bare to see Steven in limited 2D animation again😭
I'm literally fangirling over the countless possibilities I'm so excited for what's coming...........hopefully. These videos covering steven universe are making me so pumpedddd.
What if the Government studied not the Gems but Lars or Lion? They see that when organic beings are revived by Steven they become stronger and gain their own powers; they could seek to capture Steven and use him to create some kind of super soldiers of their own or use his healing powers to constantly heal their troops. Or as Steven travels the world and heals people of their illnesses or disabilities, people start to worship him as a deity just as Gems do, even bringing their deceased loved for him to revive and it starts to get too much for him or something.
I think they should focus more on the Gem stuff, and not continue Steven. His story wrapped up, and there's a bunch more we can see than just Steven. We can see Steven every now and then, just not every time like what they've been doing.
Even just that thumbnail got me hyped. There's so many more gems that could be characters, or even just new aliens. Older and stronger Steven, older Connie, more adventures can be had. Same with regular Show which I'm super excited for.
I got my lil' cousins into Steven Universe. They LOVED IT. They BAWLED when I told them there was no more. If they were to bring back Steven Universe... those little girls would buy so many fucking toys. You should see them with Pokemon. You show them an Amethyst figurine, and they lose their marbles. You give them a GARNET? Their brains would explode. They're constantly trying to steal my SU football jacket. And it's funny, because aside from the songs, it's the 'scarier' episode that they replay, over and over. Or the Seance scene from Ducktales--The first time they watched it, they were scared-- but intrigued! So they went back. And they watched it again. And then again. And then, again. And slowly, they began to see something about THEMSELVES in those scenes, and in the characters in those moments. And then the next time they encountered something scary? It wasn't quite so bad. They were able to handle and process it a little better. Completely shielding kids from fear doesn't help them at all. They NEED to understand it, understand it's a part of them and a part of human nature-- and learn to overcome it. Cartoons are an AMAZINGLY safe way for them to experience that!
Hearing Pearl, Amethyst, Peridot, Garnet, and Jasper curse would give me life honestly 😂. Also the Not Like Us soundbite when he said pop out has me rolling 😂
I could see a story arc for a Steven Universe sequel, where the government capture a gem, and brainwash them into a type of assassin, winter soldier style
I have a few ideas: 1. Steven-oriented continuation series. With the end of Future, Steven left the gems and Beach City as a whole. We could follow his journey as he attempts to integrate into ordinary human life despite being half gem himself. Perhaps any leftover gem related problems he had could still find their way to him, and he has to figure out how to deal with it without harming a more peaceful, human community. 2. Little Homeworld focused series that centers around Peridot, Lapis, and Bismuth. If I recall correctly, there was talk of a Lapis and Peridot spinoff a couple years ago, so why not have this be their primary focus? There would be a plethora of relatively new characters to interact with and get attached to, more Homeworld gems could be coming in which attracts Homeworld’s attention, and ultimately the new crystal gems has to deal with the ins and outs of establishing their own society. 3. Diamond prequel series (as mentioned in the video). Focusing on the four diamonds as they were created, it would focus on the diamonds understanding their own powers and the world around them. Perhaps they get into trouble with other, more advanced alien species, which prompts them to focus on their more destructive capabilities for the sake of survival. It would also allow for the exploration of Homeworld’s creation, how they became a colonial power, and the establishment of the Diamond Authority. 3.5: Diamond sequel series. We instead focus on the diamonds (and Spinel) as they try to maintain Homeworld in Era 3. Some gems might renounce Era 3, wishing instead that things would return to the way Era 2 was. This might spark revolutions unheard of in Homeworld. All the while, Spinel could try fill Pink Diamond’s role, which presents problems both comical and dangerous. 4. Lars and the Off-Colors. Idk I just want to see more of them. Emerald seems like a great villain, plus there’s the limitless potential of exploring alien worlds.
They could event ask fans for some ideas of what could possibly be added, even fan made arts people made could be used in the new show (if they make it) and like you said, limitless ideas, plans, lore, darkness, depressed scenes and tons more. wouldn't first time a show series used fans ideas or art for the show. like for example power rangers, some of the zords design and ideas came from fans making there own versions before sending it to the creator or something like that. this just popped in my head :3🙃
Omg human villains would be amazing, someone I always imagined is what if their was a evil business/organization that was trying to use gems to make weapons and stuff and it was up to Steven and the crystal gems to stop them, also what if the villain was a gem hybrid like Steven but used their powered for evil, and not only that he also has other gem hybrids working for him as well.
I really much love all of these ideas, Heck, some of these ideas are ones i’ve had for Years now, so if we ever do get a continuation, I really hope go in any of these directions, I also hope we get Spin-offs that goes beyond the Steven Perspective too, just so we get more closer to other Characters too, I guess we just have to wait and see.
Just like what's said in this video, I had an idea a while ago of an AU where gems experimented on humans, probably from the human zoo, to turn them into half gem/human hybrids, like Steven. But since this was forcibly done to them, they became Eldritch horrors, forever in pain and nothing like Steven at all. And the survivors vow revenge on all of gem kind. Going around the galaxy destroying any gem they can find, regardless of their guilt. Though, if the next series had the earth government be the villains, then I guess the narrative would make them be the ones to try to turn earth humans into experiments, and then those victims would just turn against humanity, or maybe both humans and gems.
I've always wondered how Pink Diamond figured out how to make Steven. Perhaps there was researcher who discovered how to do human gem hybrids. Wouldn't be surprised if this hypothetical gem also did the research on the massive shard cluster in the Earth's crust. Who did that? Where did they do their messed up research? What other sick experiments could they get into after no longer being corrupted? Like forced gem human hybrids...
I like the idea of Steven against the government and that Steven spends the series proving that the gems are human, and considering the tones of the series it is logical that it has the classic message of acceptance, etc., but I would like them to show how complex What would this situation be, so that it's not just Steven making everything resolved with "we are all equal" and that only love wins, it would be interesting to see the human groups against the gems as you said and that for example a gem like Jasper kill a human, I think something like that would really change the series, with the perspective of humans having to live with an almost immortal super-powered conquering race, and Steven seeing that not everything can be solved with words and that it makes sense that they are afraid of the gems
A lars of the stars spin off that functions like AT:FAC would be amazing, hoping from planet to planet, maybe even a B plot that follows Steven having a lower stakes side adventure going to different stops on his way to meet connie that concludes with them both rushing to help lars via lion. Idk i just hope whatever they do isn’t fixed to Steven’s pov, we already had 6 seasons and a movie of that
20,000 years ago when gems came into existence, they wiped out an existing race called The metals of the male persuasion and what you find scattered throughout the Universe. Iron, copper, tin, coal, gold, silver different things are actually corpses from this huge war. The metals were banished to a different reality. They somehow escape that reality coming back to Stevens. It turns out bismuth is actually a descendant of a metal and a gem.
The government would be really dope... Imagine implanting gems into object like guns and tanks or playing off of lapis and simply placing gems into objects to gain knowledge and other stuff
I want to see bluebird again, the lapis that joined the school, Stephen basically done with his healing and Connie and his relationship actually moving forward, pearl finally opening up and loving another person (bismith hopefully) There’s still so much room for every single one of the characters to grow.
I would love to see a spin off show of the diamonds, interacting with humans falling in love, and eventually having their own kids it would be really fun to see Steven talking about love with the diamonds
Imagine steven barging and it makes the whole Amazon tree but as a steven and also I NEED TO SEE MELON DOG AND PUMPKIN MEET WITH TEEN STEVEN PLANTS AND MELON STEVEN
Also needed: - Backstory from "our" Pearl - Backstory White Diamond and Pink Diamond - Flashbacks Pink Diamond vs Crystal gems - More context about the Diamond arc - Fixing shattered gems / cluster - Lars' powers - Some more fusions (Lapidot, Stars, Diamonds perhaps) Don't take the mystery from the Diamonds origin. It will make things lame, just like aliens ripped off from the gems, like plant based.
i personally would like a new show to focus on a potential Gem civil war, where those who lost status and power like Aquamarine and Eyeball (Ruby) form their own Gem Rebellion to bring the old ways back, they kind of teased it with Aquamarine, there probs a lot of gems who hate era 3 especially the Elite Gems, but that's my opinion
One thing i would love for them to have an episode about is "real" gems. Like, we dig them up from the ground and make jewelry and stuff, and since Ronaldo knew of the gem bloodstone it confirms that thats the case in the SU universe. Seeing White utterly petrified upon seeing a diamond engagement ring, or Pearl mortofied at someone's neclace would be an interesing episode taking a deep dive into psychological horror rather than body horror, tho it could be both, couse what if the gems humans dig up are leftovers after the war, or maybe premature gems that didn't get get comoleted enough to emerge? Theres so much they could do with this
There are many possibilities for the continuation of Steven Universe, for example, it could introduce new antagonists in the form of the creators of the Diamonds, and the entire Gem race, who would be unhappy with the fact that the Gems no longer serve their purpose.
OMG !!! You’re so amazing sir. I totally am here for an adult version of Steven universe. For a kids show I always felt like it was for kids with like a conscious if that makes sense 😂 sometimes I hope Rebecca watches your videos. She could really go off with some of your ideas !! Loving the human villain idea !! Whole video is lit. Keep it up ! I actually just finished rewatching the series and I always cry, I just love it so much. ❤❤
I mean if we're making SU an adult show, then I think that we'd end up with three potty mouths, and they are amethyst, jasper and peridot (she will say things more than clod
a new series could have everything thats listed here all at once because it could be different arcs happening but if you make the procedure traumitizing enough for ronaldo i think it could be a good existential crisis for him not to mention the gem the he was fused to
a reason why it would be cool to see an adult steven universe bc lars might have the same powers as lion like being able to scream like pink diamond. meaning we could see lars blast someone away by saying fuck off too aggressively
As much as this would be cool I feel like Steven Universe is less about big action set pieces and war and more about trauma and emotional complexity. My ideal next series is a prequel series taking place during the last year of Rose Quartz's life
I think it would make sense for the villain to be human because like you said more gyms are on earth now and the government would you want to profit off of them and also used them for experiments and stuff
for the shadowy government thing you talked about, I think the way you imagined it is a little overdone/a little too simple. The way I would do it is have the agency start out as either an ally, or just a neutral party, with the secret agent person even contacting Steven directly to establish friendly connections between the earth government and homeworld, for trading information on technology and culture. But as the series goes on, more hostile and intolerant ideals start to move into power at the agency, looking to instead conquer and control the gems, thus bringing in the other stuff you mentioned. IMO, it'd be better having a slow burn seeing how good people with genuine intentions can be corrupted into monsters, here in a more metaphorical sense rather than the literal one seen with the gems' corruption.
I like the idea of a human villain being someone akin to Kimblee from fma, a hybrid like Steven, using their powers to harm people instead of saving them. But bringing up that they're doing for the same reason as Steven.
Honestly this would be interesting to watch but I also like to watch Steven dealing with his mortality that he’ll live longer than every human and that even if his human flesh was destroyed he’ll be reborn as a fully realize gem
I thinking about how powerful Steven could potentially be as he gets older. Like, idk, let him have full control over plant-life and/or sprout wings like Shadow the Hedgehog in the upcoming Sonic Generations remake, heck, give him the Eda Owl Lady treatment and give him a half beast form or some sh*t. It’s free real estate!
I created a spin-off in my head that involves Steven and Connie’s daughter, who I named Samhita “Sammy” Maheswaren-Universe. she was born human (no gem) and everyone believes she doesn’t have gem powers, but like her dad when he was younger she desperately wants to be a Chrystal Gem. (also I just found out Samhita means “put together, joined, union, who wants good for everyone.” I got the name from a kid I worked with years ago and love the name, plus “Sammy Universe” has a nice ring to it, but it actually turned out to be a perfect name for a gem/human hybrid and Steven’s child!)
I really want more background and knowledge about the Diamonds. The majority of the fandom don't like them, however I love the characters, and I feel left in the dark about them. That can be said with all of the characters in the show, but I feel as if the Diamonds have more history worth uncovering.
I've always been of the opinion that a human villian should be near the opposite of a gem one. Changing, always adapting, but still wickedly villianious, with crude yet effective machines that thrum and clunk as they churn and turn towards a malevolent purpose. Something (or someone) asymmetrical, yet powerful and truly intimidating. Like a steampunk necromancer or something.
I actually have a oc steven universe character called Orange Diamond, the gem that created the universe including all gems...that even means the creation of the other diamonds. She shattered by an unknown reason...but was somehow able to recover but in a male form with no memories and has been on earth since the less advanced humans. If I was able to contact the creator of steven universe I could be able to tell them my idea of the character and they could make a plot that involves Orange Diamond.
I think if we were to get Steven universe back I'd like to see rose story and we learn her full story from her perspective cause we don't learn her story from her point of view we see it from pearl and stevens pov getting a story from when's she's a diamond to when she has steven would be so perfect
Hello roundtable and I love your videos by the way ❤ And I was wondering if I can use your idea for my fanfiction that is if you don't mind. Because that idea is Soo good that I can't get it out of my head. I'll be sure to tell the people to go to your RUclips channel if you say yes but If not I won't write it.
I can imagine an episode where Steven has to free some gems from a mass terraformer and Steven and the Crystal Gems gets sued by the dude with him claiming that 'All Gems are tools for mankind's expansion through the universe' and Lapis being a key witness/main one getting interrogated on the stand
11:48 I choose to believe instead of roaring to open portals, he'd open a portal with both his hands picturing him tearing a whole in fabric. But the portal would close soon after he lets goes. He could also connect himself to the ship he's in to make it fire from a device... Which I guess he could have a ring that focuses it too that bismuth makes him.
I totally agree on have an human antagonist. Maybe i would have him collecting every piece of gem based technology (from what was left during the battles in the show or from the kindengardens) and creating Steven Universe equivalent of Amazo from DC. A robot made for fighting and potentially shatter the gems.

Judging by Pearl's and Amethyst's reaction in Change Your Mind, Rose has not fused with Garnet before and Steven did so for the first time.

I don't think Rose ever fused with anyone aside from Pearl, maybe doing so could have ruined her secret?

Something that I saw being thrown around way back in the day was the concept of a totally new race of aliens which were the opposite of the Gems, being a race made of different metals that are exclusively masculine, although some of which exuding more feminine qualities just like how the Gems are all feminine with some having masculine qualities.
I think it could be a really interesting idea, but it would be a lot to cover in one season or movie
That'd be cool, but I'd hold off on something like that for now.😅
The political landscape rn might cause it to become something crappy, especially if Rebecca sugar isn't the one working on it.
He mentions it at 21:46
a human villain could be a good idea
Perhaps a scientist who has experimented with corrupted gems and explored ancient gem constructions believes that CristalGems are dangerous and is waiting for the right moment to make the discovery public(after Steven is captured).
Agree this human villain could be inspired by Dr. Robotnik and Lex Luthor. The archenemies of Sonic the Hedgehog and Superman respectively.
@Kamokindadumbimagine if that town was empire city 😂
To add to the diamond origin story, they could kick the arc off with Steven meeting his Demayo grandparents, and then something about that meeting gets him thinking about his OTHER grandparentts
Well, giving how WBD is so desperate to revive old shows, i wouldn't be surprised if they actually brought this one back as well
Cross your fingers that if it happens, that this doesn't get written off for taxes by the exces
I think the "Hasn't Steven had enough?" point is less about the show's longevity and more about Steven himself. The new series is inevitably going to have drama, and drama means trauma, and Steven already has more than enough trauma.
@MaeRose26 Yes, I agree. It will be nice to see a relatively mentally-healthy Steven for once. Does season 1 count?
Rebecca said that she knows what Steven and the gems get up to after future, but that she was wanting to give them the privacy they deserve
To piggyback off your “jasper faces off with human protestors” idea, I had a terrible thought that’d make the situation worse bc we know damn well she’d refer to Steven as “my Diamond” during the incident either out of loyalty or bc she simply wants another war so she has a purpose again.
Holly, it'll be a hell of an incident
I wish we actually got a bloodstone in the show and if that gem was real what part of the hierarchy would it have been. What would its personality be, what would its weapon be etc. Instead we got an episode no one wanted.
i think the art that was used in the video is a nice foreshadowing of what bloodstone would have been, the gem itself would have been a weapon used to mind control organic beings whether that be controlling them to be soldiers or to simply help the cause of the diamonds and their race to control the universe
Even if CN never gives us more Steven Universe, videos like this continue to keep my hopeless inner teenage fanboy hoping. Because of idea videos like these, my fanon will never stop expanding! Thank you for continuing to care about SU ❤
Bloodstone is actually chalcedony, like onyx, but it's also known by another name: Blood jasper.
I like that story of Rhodonite's origin. It reminds me of Hawkman, in a way. A romance across multiple lifetimes.
Zack: *talking about a human villain*
Me: *Steven universe meets the emperor of mankind from Warhammer 40k image pops up*
It'd be nice if they actually did something cool with Ronaldo instead of just having him be the worst townie (in my opinion).
I love the human or government group as the main antagonist concept as they dealt with corrupted gems and diamonds themselves, but we haven't worked with stevens human side yet so taking things back to earth can be a really good way to set the darker tone. And I want the idea of forced human gem fusion as that idea is so twisted and builds off what the gem shard fusions had
I used to be one of those people who thought there was enough SU content and fans should be satisfied with everything they already got. Then I sat and watched the entirety of the series for the first time including the movie (haven't gotten to Future just yet but I plan to) and I get it now. All of these characters are so lovable and fun and now I want more of them too.
I mean, who could get enough of our space dorito (peridot),and the purple puma herself (amethyst)
I feel like if they wanted to do more they could just animate the gem war as a prequel from the eyes of centipedal like how adventure time goes into some of the other characters with obsidian
We need bloodstone to be a thing
Imagine if bloodstone was the kind of gem that acts like a parasite by possessing humans and other life forms, and once it got what it wants, it then leaves the host and then hides after that
@@zozobdair9971 oh that sounds so good
@@zozobdair9971yes bro, YES we need this
Are we sure Ronaldo doesn't have fourth wall powers ? I'm positive this becomes s a thing everyone in the cast is going to be like, are we sure Ronaldo isn't psychic ?
@@seeleunit2000 i dont remember any of that
You know it would be an interesting concept to see if someone would try to replicate what Steven is: a hybrid between a Human and a Gem.
Pink could do it because she’s a Diamond which in a way is vastly superior to other gems, an argument you could have is that Yellow Diamond could give willing gems wombs to carry children cause at Future we saw that she could manipulate the forms of gems but it could take a while cause she’s still repairing shattered gems last we saw her.
But then again they all visited Steven at the ending
If the show returns I hope they switch to rigged animation by Flying Bark or Mercury filmworks I can’t bare to see Steven in limited 2D animation again😭
I'm literally fangirling over the countless possibilities I'm so excited for what's coming...........hopefully. These videos covering steven universe are making me so pumpedddd.
I could totally imagine how a human could use other gems as objects just like how lapis was inside the mirror!
A freaky Science Experiment
SU can go in so many directions, so much we still don't know about this world just waiting to be explored, and we're all here for it.
You guys are cooking! And i'm here to eat it all😊
What if the Government studied not the Gems but Lars or Lion? They see that when organic beings are revived by Steven they become stronger and gain their own powers; they could seek to capture Steven and use him to create some kind of super soldiers of their own or use his healing powers to constantly heal their troops. Or as Steven travels the world and heals people of their illnesses or disabilities, people start to worship him as a deity just as Gems do, even bringing their deceased loved for him to revive and it starts to get too much for him or something.
"You space wallnut! You changed the family name!" 😂 CLASSIC
I think they should focus more on the Gem stuff, and not continue Steven. His story wrapped up, and there's a bunch more we can see than just Steven. We can see Steven every now and then, just not every time like what they've been doing.
This!
Frrrrr!!! Like I wanna see a whole other perspective
Hopefully Rebecca Sugar and others who worked on Steven Universe come across this video because these are great ideas!
Question 2 is actually "what's in the fucking Box, Rebecca?".
Even just that thumbnail got me hyped. There's so many more gems that could be characters, or even just new aliens. Older and stronger Steven, older Connie, more adventures can be had.
Same with regular Show which I'm super excited for.
I got my lil' cousins into Steven Universe. They LOVED IT. They BAWLED when I told them there was no more.
If they were to bring back Steven Universe... those little girls would buy so many fucking toys. You should see them with Pokemon. You show them an Amethyst figurine, and they lose their marbles. You give them a GARNET? Their brains would explode. They're constantly trying to steal my SU football jacket.
And it's funny, because aside from the songs, it's the 'scarier' episode that they replay, over and over. Or the Seance scene from Ducktales--The first time they watched it, they were scared-- but intrigued! So they went back. And they watched it again. And then again. And then, again. And slowly, they began to see something about THEMSELVES in those scenes, and in the characters in those moments. And then the next time they encountered something scary? It wasn't quite so bad. They were able to handle and process it a little better. Completely shielding kids from fear doesn't help them at all. They NEED to understand it, understand it's a part of them and a part of human nature-- and learn to overcome it. Cartoons are an AMAZINGLY safe way for them to experience that!
the military parts reminds me of a fanfic ive been working on, might go back to work on it, your video inspired me a lot.
Hearing Pearl, Amethyst, Peridot, Garnet, and Jasper curse would give me life honestly 😂. Also the Not Like Us soundbite when he said pop out has me rolling 😂
Amazing work like always, Roundtable! I really hope Rebecca Sugar see this video and get inspired by your ideas!
I could see a story arc for a Steven Universe sequel, where the government capture a gem, and brainwash them into a type of assassin, winter soldier style
That comic at 5:06 caught me so off guard
The limitless potential of the indominable human spirit. I should use that
Living for the Crystal Clear videos Vox makes me feel like I’m back in Stevenbomb😂 keep it up
But I really loved "Steven Universe the Movie" so proudly ever
"Scene out of invincible" got me rolling on the floor 😂😂
I have a few ideas:
1. Steven-oriented continuation series. With the end of Future, Steven left the gems and Beach City as a whole. We could follow his journey as he attempts to integrate into ordinary human life despite being half gem himself. Perhaps any leftover gem related problems he had could still find their way to him, and he has to figure out how to deal with it without harming a more peaceful, human community.
2. Little Homeworld focused series that centers around Peridot, Lapis, and Bismuth. If I recall correctly, there was talk of a Lapis and Peridot spinoff a couple years ago, so why not have this be their primary focus? There would be a plethora of relatively new characters to interact with and get attached to, more Homeworld gems could be coming in which attracts Homeworld’s attention, and ultimately the new crystal gems has to deal with the ins and outs of establishing their own society.
3. Diamond prequel series (as mentioned in the video). Focusing on the four diamonds as they were created, it would focus on the diamonds understanding their own powers and the world around them. Perhaps they get into trouble with other, more advanced alien species, which prompts them to focus on their more destructive capabilities for the sake of survival. It would also allow for the exploration of Homeworld’s creation, how they became a colonial power, and the establishment of the Diamond Authority.
3.5: Diamond sequel series. We instead focus on the diamonds (and Spinel) as they try to maintain Homeworld in Era 3. Some gems might renounce Era 3, wishing instead that things would return to the way Era 2 was. This might spark revolutions unheard of in Homeworld. All the while, Spinel could try fill Pink Diamond’s role, which presents problems both comical and dangerous.
4. Lars and the Off-Colors. Idk I just want to see more of them. Emerald seems like a great villain, plus there’s the limitless potential of exploring alien worlds.
Steven universe
Steven universe Future
Now, Steven universe Past
They could event ask fans for some ideas of what could possibly be added, even fan made arts people made could be used in the new show (if they make it) and like you said, limitless ideas, plans, lore, darkness, depressed scenes and tons more. wouldn't first time a show series used fans ideas or art for the show. like for example power rangers, some of the zords design and ideas came from fans making there own versions before sending it to the creator or something like that. this just popped in my head :3🙃
Omg human villains would be amazing, someone I always imagined is what if their was a evil business/organization that was trying to use gems to make weapons and stuff and it was up to Steven and the crystal gems to stop them, also what if the villain was a gem hybrid like Steven but used their powered for evil, and not only that he also has other gem hybrids working for him as well.
I really much love all of these ideas,
Heck, some of these ideas are ones i’ve had for Years now, so if we ever do get a continuation, I really hope go in any of these directions,
I also hope we get Spin-offs that goes beyond the Steven Perspective too, just so we get more closer to other Characters too,
I guess we just have to wait and see.
PLEASE I NEED MOREEEEE 🙏🙏😭
Just like what's said in this video, I had an idea a while ago of an AU where gems experimented on humans, probably from the human zoo, to turn them into half gem/human hybrids, like Steven. But since this was forcibly done to them, they became Eldritch horrors, forever in pain and nothing like Steven at all. And the survivors vow revenge on all of gem kind. Going around the galaxy destroying any gem they can find, regardless of their guilt.
Though, if the next series had the earth government be the villains, then I guess the narrative would make them be the ones to try to turn earth humans into experiments, and then those victims would just turn against humanity, or maybe both humans and gems.
I've always wondered how Pink Diamond figured out how to make Steven. Perhaps there was researcher who discovered how to do human gem hybrids. Wouldn't be surprised if this hypothetical gem also did the research on the massive shard cluster in the Earth's crust. Who did that? Where did they do their messed up research? What other sick experiments could they get into after no longer being corrupted? Like forced gem human hybrids...
I like the idea of Steven against the government and that Steven spends the series proving that the gems are human, and considering the tones of the series it is logical that it has the classic message of acceptance, etc., but I would like them to show how complex What would this situation be, so that it's not just Steven making everything resolved with "we are all equal" and that only love wins, it would be interesting to see the human groups against the gems as you said and that for example a gem like Jasper kill a human, I think something like that would really change the series, with the perspective of humans having to live with an almost immortal super-powered conquering race, and Steven seeing that not everything can be solved with words and that it makes sense that they are afraid of the gems
This video is about to be fire
A lars of the stars spin off that functions like AT:FAC would be amazing, hoping from planet to planet, maybe even a B plot that follows Steven having a lower stakes side adventure going to different stops on his way to meet connie that concludes with them both rushing to help lars via lion. Idk i just hope whatever they do isn’t fixed to Steven’s pov, we already had 6 seasons and a movie of that
LET REBECCA DO A NEW STEVEN UNIVERSE!!!
20,000 years ago when gems came into existence, they wiped out an existing race called The metals of the male persuasion and what you find scattered throughout the Universe. Iron, copper, tin, coal, gold, silver different things are actually corpses from this huge war. The metals were banished to a different reality. They somehow escape that reality coming back to Stevens. It turns out bismuth is actually a descendant of a metal and a gem.
Will there even be a Spinoff of SU?!
The government would be really dope... Imagine implanting gems into object like guns and tanks or playing off of lapis and simply placing gems into objects to gain knowledge and other stuff
MORE! LOVE YOUR CONTENT ❤❤❤❤❤
I want to see bluebird again, the lapis that joined the school, Stephen basically done with his healing and Connie and his relationship actually moving forward, pearl finally opening up and loving another person (bismith hopefully)
There’s still so much room for every single one of the characters to grow.
I would love to see a spin off show of the diamonds, interacting with humans falling in love, and eventually having their own kids it would be really fun to see Steven talking about love with the diamonds
Imagine steven barging and it makes the whole Amazon tree but as a steven and also I NEED TO SEE MELON DOG AND PUMPKIN MEET WITH TEEN STEVEN PLANTS AND MELON STEVEN
Also needed:
- Backstory from "our" Pearl
- Backstory White Diamond and Pink Diamond
- Flashbacks Pink Diamond vs Crystal gems
- More context about the Diamond arc
- Fixing shattered gems / cluster
- Lars' powers
- Some more fusions (Lapidot, Stars, Diamonds perhaps)
Don't take the mystery from the Diamonds origin. It will make things lame, just like aliens ripped off from the gems, like plant based.
A cool AU or cross over idea Dr Robotnik trys to weaponize gems for his own benefit and it's up to Sonic and Steven to stop him. Cool idea right?
i personally would like a new show to focus on a potential Gem civil war, where those who lost status and power like Aquamarine and Eyeball (Ruby) form their own Gem Rebellion to bring the old ways back, they kind of teased it with Aquamarine, there probs a lot of gems who hate era 3 especially the Elite Gems, but that's my opinion
One thing i would love for them to have an episode about is "real" gems. Like, we dig them up from the ground and make jewelry and stuff, and since Ronaldo knew of the gem bloodstone it confirms that thats the case in the SU universe. Seeing White utterly petrified upon seeing a diamond engagement ring, or Pearl mortofied at someone's neclace would be an interesing episode taking a deep dive into psychological horror rather than body horror, tho it could be both, couse what if the gems humans dig up are leftovers after the war, or maybe premature gems that didn't get get comoleted enough to emerge? Theres so much they could do with this
You were so right about S1 being terrifying.
I mean, Cat Fingers had me up at night for DAYS!
I always wanted to see more of the diamonds. I hope they do that.
There are many possibilities for the continuation of Steven Universe, for example, it could introduce new antagonists in the form of the creators of the Diamonds, and the entire Gem race, who would be unhappy with the fact that the Gems no longer serve their purpose.
OMG !!! You’re so amazing sir. I totally am here for an adult version of Steven universe. For a kids show I always felt like it was for kids with like a conscious if that makes sense 😂 sometimes I hope Rebecca watches your videos. She could really go off with some of your ideas !! Loving the human villain idea !! Whole video is lit. Keep it up ! I actually just finished rewatching the series and I always cry, I just love it so much. ❤❤
I mean if we're making SU an adult show, then I think that we'd end up with three potty mouths, and they are amethyst, jasper and peridot (she will say things more than clod
14:40 So… White Diamond? She's literally everything you described.
Lol
Basically thanks for being your RUclips self, also all of your strong points for "Steven Universe Future" is totally accurate hopefully we get this.
a new series could have everything thats listed here all at once because it could be different arcs happening but if you make the procedure traumitizing enough for ronaldo i think it could be a good existential crisis for him not to mention the gem the he was fused to
a reason why it would be cool to see an adult steven universe bc lars might have the same powers as lion like being able to scream like pink diamond. meaning we could see lars blast someone away by saying fuck off too aggressively
As much as this would be cool I feel like Steven Universe is less about big action set pieces and war and more about trauma and emotional complexity. My ideal next series is a prequel series taking place during the last year of Rose Quartz's life
yeah and exploring all the damage she left behind to others 😭
I think it would make sense for the villain to be human because like you said more gyms are on earth now and the government would you want to profit off of them and also used them for experiments and stuff
for the shadowy government thing you talked about, I think the way you imagined it is a little overdone/a little too simple. The way I would do it is have the agency start out as either an ally, or just a neutral party, with the secret agent person even contacting Steven directly to establish friendly connections between the earth government and homeworld, for trading information on technology and culture. But as the series goes on, more hostile and intolerant ideals start to move into power at the agency, looking to instead conquer and control the gems, thus bringing in the other stuff you mentioned.
IMO, it'd be better having a slow burn seeing how good people with genuine intentions can be corrupted into monsters, here in a more metaphorical sense rather than the literal one seen with the gems' corruption.
The fact that we were going to get an SU equivalent of Dark Faust from Ultraman Nexus bewilders me.
I like the idea of a human villain being someone akin to Kimblee from fma, a hybrid like Steven, using their powers to harm people instead of saving them. But bringing up that they're doing for the same reason as Steven.
Honestly this would be interesting to watch but I also like to watch Steven dealing with his mortality that he’ll live longer than every human and that even if his human flesh was destroyed he’ll be reborn as a fully realize gem
I thinking about how powerful Steven could potentially be as he gets older. Like, idk, let him have full control over plant-life and/or sprout wings like Shadow the Hedgehog in the upcoming Sonic Generations remake, heck, give him the Eda Owl Lady treatment and give him a half beast form or some sh*t. It’s free real estate!
I created a spin-off in my head that involves Steven and Connie’s daughter, who I named Samhita “Sammy” Maheswaren-Universe. she was born human (no gem) and everyone believes she doesn’t have gem powers, but like her dad when he was younger she desperately wants to be a Chrystal Gem.
(also I just found out Samhita means “put together, joined, union, who wants good for everyone.” I got the name from a kid I worked with years ago and love the name, plus “Sammy Universe” has a nice ring to it, but it actually turned out to be a perfect name for a gem/human hybrid and Steven’s child!)
I really want more background and knowledge about the Diamonds. The majority of the fandom don't like them, however I love the characters, and I feel left in the dark about them. That can be said with all of the characters in the show, but I feel as if the Diamonds have more history worth uncovering.
I've always been of the opinion that a human villian should be near the opposite of a gem one.
Changing, always adapting, but still wickedly villianious, with crude yet effective machines that thrum and clunk as they churn and turn towards a malevolent purpose.
Something (or someone) asymmetrical, yet powerful and truly intimidating.
Like a steampunk necromancer or something.
I actually have a oc steven universe character called Orange Diamond, the gem that created the universe including all gems...that even means the creation of the other diamonds. She shattered by an unknown reason...but was somehow able to recover but in a male form with no memories and has been on earth since the less advanced humans. If I was able to contact the creator of steven universe I could be able to tell them my idea of the character and they could make a plot that involves Orange Diamond.
I think if we were to get Steven universe back I'd like to see rose story and we learn her full story from her perspective cause we don't learn her story from her point of view we see it from pearl and stevens pov getting a story from when's she's a diamond to when she has steven would be so perfect
Hello roundtable and I love your videos by the way ❤
And I was wondering if I can use your idea for my fanfiction that is if you don't mind.
Because that idea is Soo good that I can't get it out of my head.
I'll be sure to tell the people to go to your RUclips channel if you say yes but If not I won't write it.
Yesss we need this new fusions, new gems/Aliens,who made the diamonds/ lars/backstories/ so much that can be explored
I want to know who made Lars to
I can imagine an episode where Steven has to free some gems from a mass terraformer and Steven and the Crystal Gems gets sued by the dude with him claiming that 'All Gems are tools for mankind's expansion through the universe' and Lapis being a key witness/main one getting interrogated on the stand
11:48 I choose to believe instead of roaring to open portals, he'd open a portal with both his hands picturing him tearing a whole in fabric.
But the portal would close soon after he lets goes.
He could also connect himself to the ship he's in to make it fire from a device... Which I guess he could have a ring that focuses it too that bismuth makes him.
I totally agree on have an human antagonist. Maybe i would have him collecting every piece of gem based technology (from what was left during the battles in the show or from the kindengardens) and creating Steven Universe equivalent of Amazo from DC. A robot made for fighting and potentially shatter the gems.
5:00 got me dead 😂😂😂😂❤
Me to😂😂😂😂😂😂
