Considering where real pearls come from, they could actually go in that direction, but drat, that would be dark.

It kind of looks like one. It's possible that Rubies are all purpose grunts and when they're not fighting they work in forges and such doing manual labor so their weapons double as tools.

There's a clickbait video in all my recommendation sidebars who's title is "Cartoon Network Maybe NOT RENEWING Steven Universe, We Bare Bears, Teen Titans GO!, and More?!" with the thumbnail of a guy making a weird stupid fake reaction face with the word CANCELLED? behind him.

I refuse to click on it, but yeah I think Cartoon Network not renewing their big money-making shows is pretty likely. Especially Teen Titans Go, which they've been neglecting.

Muta's Mating Dance Rates a 5 on the Muta Scale
Was it brought up earlier in this thread? Or am I just dreaming... Anyways, I think the video is 100% clickbait, and they are going off "well they haven't renewed it past SEASON 5 SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S CANCELLED". Though you also have to note that season 4 and 5 are the original season 3 they already have planned, so they technically haven't been renewed since season 1, just rebranded

Nah, that was dirty, dirty lies to pretend that the third season order from July 2015 counted as two more seasons, and they did the same with another show, I think Uncle Grandpa, except it was lovely because production of the third season had finished at that point and nobody was working in the show anymore but CN still call it another new season when it was just the remaining episodes.

Stuff on a renewal for this and many shows should come up soon-ish, though from what it looks like only AT has gotten a renewal this summer, which was announced on a tweet by someone in the production, so maybe CN is just keeping its next year plans to itself until sometime later to announce it all at once.

from what I've heard, at the time production for season 3 of UG wasn't finished but it was almost over, and someone had told them ahead of time that they weren't planning on more seasons. Also both WBB and Clarence have also gotten the split up season deal (AT, RS, and the new Power Puff Girls didn't because their seasons are 20 half hours long, not 26)

From what I recall the Crewniverse saying, season 5 is the last season because the show has a definitive ending. Right? I know at least the definitive ending part is true, I definitely recall Ian JQ or someone say that.

None of the crew members have said anything about a definitive ending. The closest we have is Matt saying that season 6 is possible but too soon to tell.

Given the import of a statement like this, you'd think it would be brought up in every discussion of the show's future if it were true.

I do recall someone saying "we're not going to just let this go on forever like Certain Shows We Won't Name" but I don't think anyone's said anything definite about an end date/final season/whatever.

There is an early interview with Rebecca saying the story has an ending, but it's only an outline and they can make it run longer if that is what they get told. They do need to know of the end of renewals in advance, and not get cut off mid-season for that to work. Once they are committed to an end date, it's probably going to stick.

I bet not all gems have learned how to summon weapons and that weapons can evolve over time making them even more unique to the gems, it'd explain why Pearl used swords before switching to her spear.


This is a valid alternative explanation.

I don't think there's any evidence that Pearl's gem weapon has ever not been a spear, she just keeps a bunch of swords around as knick knacks. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of them are human-made, although that obviously can't be the case for her pair of sabers in 3,300 BC.

I don't know what the whole deal is with Bismuth's weapon mods though, Pearl and Garnet seem like they ditched theirs, but Amethyst has been rocking her cat o' three tails still?

More recently, like as in just a couple months ago at SDCC, Ian J laid it out pretty clearly:

quote:

One thing I will tell you about the show, that a lot of people don’t know, there is a discreet timeline from the beginning of the story to the end of the story. There’s a timeline for all the things that happened before the story. And there’s a timeline for all the things that happen after the story. Those are all sort of written down. There’s definitely an ending. There’s ways to expand it and go further, but Rebecca is going to have her chance to tell her story the way she intends it to be told.

So there's a timeline for everything, but they can stretch it as long as they want apparently, if they want to stuff in more Beach City episodes or Young Greg flashbacks or an entire episode where Steven, Lapis and Peridot all binge watch Camp Pining Hearts.

Huh, so here's something kind of interesting...

One of the members of Jasper's "army" is a forced fusion, but not just any forced fusion: she's the exact same one that was in Nightmare Hospital:

Here she is in Jasper's army: https://www.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/50bcxu/season_3_spoilers_rewatched_some_episodes_and/

And here's how she looked at the hospital: http://steven-universe.wikia.com/wiki/File:NewClusterInfobox.png

This is probably only an Easter egg, there's like a 99% chance that the animation department just reused a design for convenience and a quick background gag.

However, there's also a chance that this is foreshadowing something. Someone (possibly a fellow monster) might be sneaking into the temple and letting other corrupted gems out. Maybe that's what the Slinker has been up to.

Acne Rain posted:

Same type gems have same body and voice, but rubies already showed that personalities vary and now we know weapons and powers do as well, possibly because those come FROM a gems individuality. Peridot is not supposed to have magnetic powers for instance.

I wouldn't be surprised if Homeworld being low on resources is a lie, and the diamonds attempting to keep the gems in line by denying them powers.

I wouldn't doubt it. While confronting Steven, Bismuth mentions that Rose said that gems were "convinced to ignore [their] own potential" by the Diamonds. So them lying about that wouldn't be a stretch for me.

Today's wild speculation:

The yellow diamond peridot contacted isn't the real yellow diamond, the real yellow diamond was in the spinning pyramid. The gem had a yellow tint, and everything dissapeared in yellow light, and the place was a huge puzzle. If Peridot is to be believed, YD was all about logic and reasoning so it fits.

The YD we say in the contact device isn't the real YD, they're just a bunch of topazes or smashed badgers or something posing as YD. Either so she can blow up the planet and prevent the real one from showing up, or just to keep the gems civilization from collapsing entirely.
