Steven Universe Is Garbage, and Here's Why

Steven Universe is Garbage and Here's Why is a two hour long video essay by Lily Orchard that's all about the Steven Universe series, and why she thinks it's awful.

It's Garbage (and here's why)

 * 1) It's way too long. Who needs 2 hours to talk about Steven Universe? And it even feels like its a movie about the rant.
 * 2) Poor organization. Lily rambles all over the place for topics that have nothing to do with the subject of the section.
 * 3) She openly compares Homeworld taking a bunch of already dead Gems, fusing them together, and putting them into the earth, to the Nazis gassing 6 million people of Jewish descent.
 * 4) She calls Rebecca Sugar a Nazi Apologist.
 * 5) *This is either a terrible comparison to make, or an outright insult to Sugar's Jewish heritage
 * 6) *Lily, not done insulting Rebecca Sugar, goes out of her way to describe the difference between a Neo Nazi, an actual Nazi, a Nazi Sympathizer, and an Apologist... that just ends up amounting to "Sugar's not intentionally defending Nazis, but she might as well be."
 * 7) She keeps making comparisons to other shows either to proclaim them better (which is subjective) or to complain about them (which is totally pointless).
 * 8) * She spends 12 minutes talking about Star Wars: The Old Republic, even though that has nothing to do with Steven Universe.
 * 9) Lily just won't. Stop. Ranting!
 * 10) Most of her complaints are just retreads of SU Critical tumblr blogs.
 * 11) She completely misses the point of Malachite. She's supposed to represent a bad relationship that brought out the worst in both Lapis and Jasper, not an abusive relationship!
 * 12) *Furthermore, Lapis's rejection of fusing into Malachite was intended as a sign that she was moving on from it and becoming a better person, which Lily denies happened.
 * 13) *She completely blows Lapis's treatment of Peridot out of proportion by calling it abuse.
 * 14) She also misses the point of the Rose Quartz=Pink Diamond twist. Yes Lily, the show makes it clear that Rose is conned at best and not the weakness-free heroic and innocent goddess you think the show's portraying her as.
 * 15) She says that Lars's character change in the "Wanted" special is out of left field, to the point where she legitimately says they essentially killed him off and replaced him, which is complete bull. He changed, just not necessarily in the most well written manner.
 * 16) Her attitude towards the villains is far too pessimistic. The show isn't about instantly turn everyone to heroic, the show is about healing, learning to love yourself, and fixing your mistakes. The only character on the show with a "forgive everyone" mentality is Steven, and this mentality is actually shown to have weaknesses at times. (An example would be "Room For Ruby", where he's too trusting of Navy, and then Navy ends up turning her back on him.)
 * 17) Lily openly insults anyone who disagrees with the video on Tumblr, calling them SU stans, and implying that they are awful people for liking the show.
 * 18) This is by far one of Lily's worst videos. Even watching just a small portion feels like a chore!
 * 19) It's not even a good SU critical video. Just watch the Robobuddies video, it's much shorter, and far less negative.

Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Some of her complaints are valid, just buried under nit picking, lies, and boring length.
 * 2) *Her complaints about the hiatuses are totally valid, if blown out of proportion.
 * 3) *As are her complaints about Steven's POV.
