I’m actually pumped about it. See, I trust the Crewniverse (and the UG team) to make this episode a fun to enjoy. Steven Universe hasn’t had any terrible episodes in its first season, and I don’t expect this one to be the first. Both creators of each show are friends, and they’ve wanted to do this special. The fans should at least respect that, instead of ranting and raving.
While the idea does seem out there, it’s not that big of a stretch. Uncle Grandpa is a reality warper so it’s easier for him to intermingle with other continuities. Also, his job is to help kids with their problems while having zany adventures, and he’s good at that. Episodes like him helping a kid be comfortable with his image or helping a girl not be afraid of the dark prove this, and show it’s not as mindless as folks make it out to be.
Another thing, I can understand if UG is not everyone’s tea. That’s cool. It’s a pretty wacky cartoon. Different strokes for different folks. It’s ridiculous there’s vitriol for a special that hasn’t even aired yet, and it makes the SU fandom look even more elitist and prick-ish instead of open and understanding.
I’m glad this crossover is 100% canon
It probably explains why Steven made that massive shield in ‘The Return’ so the elitist SU Tumblrinas can eat their hats and deal with it. At the end of day, Steven Universe is still a
kids show for everyone to enjoy just like MLP. Kids shows can be written well and be sophisticated. We have to remember who this series are targeted for when’s all said and done.
