Sorry for another Steven Universe thread, but I just had an epiphany. Steven is Superman. Strength, invulnerability, flight, but more than that, he embodies and champions certain unwavering ideals. I'm not sure how to put them into words but this is it perfectly
That scene where he's effortlessly blocking everything Spinel does, but not attacking back, just trying to talk sense into her, it reminded me of scenes where Superman has done that exact kind of thing. "Yeah, go ahead and take your frustration out on me, I can take it, and I'll be here to help when you're done" That's such an iconic trait of his.
And the fact that his only thoughts when he's nearly spent and burned out are "I can still move, I have to help" and when he realizes he can heal the whole world by kissing it one goddamn square foot at a time, he actually resolves to do it, even though its ridiculous, because who else can?
Nobody seems to be able to get Supes quite right in films for some reason, but take notes DC, this is how Superman would be done right, the exact character right fucking here. Minus singing.
This is why I hate Steven. It seems so fake that his drive to help comes across as patronizing. He hasn't suffered nor seen nearly enough for this character trait to feel real. All he's really done is cry and sing and talk.

tldr show is gay

SUfags truly are the Smashfags of Yea Forums. It's uncanny.

You’re a hypocrite, I can just feel it. You mad because it’s a show you don’t like. Get over it.
Jose Allen
Suffering is overrated
Matthew Reyes
When hes lost his powers but climbing the side of the injector to confront spinel anyway it reminded me of superman not giving up against an enemy with kryptonite/magic
Camden Murphy
to be fair he gets his ass beat here and is slowly dying throughout the movie. Steven has a rough go of it compared to the rest of his series
Always love that hero fighting on even when powerless, even if it’s been done so many times.
Levi Lee
You do not know true joy before you know true suffering.
Adam James
he's literally just a shonen protagonist
Jaxon Hall
"Theres no such thing as a happy ending, I'll always have more work to do." What a baller. I've really enjoyed his character arc, losing his innocence/naivety, without becoming hardened/jaded. Especially the lesson he learned in this movie.
Superman doesn't sing and cry every 5 minutes, especially in the movie Steven was like a running tap with all the tears he shed
Christian Ward
>Steven is Superman fuck off,im not sure you understand what superman is,altough supes would like steven yes,that man is a saint
Charles Russell
Maybe Superman should cry more.
Jacob Young
“No no no, you can’t attack us I created peace throughout space. Don’t mess up my happy ending” sure sounds like superman
Matthew Price
Where did this "happy ending" shit come from, anyway? He's never cared about that before. It makes him sound like a storybook character instead of an actual person to root for. I guess they needed some new reason for Steven to feel bad.
Carson Robinson
That kinda stuff annoys anybody
Zachary Harris
It's just an allegory to the fact that he got too comfy (and cocky) because he thought he ended all villainy
Austin Hall
There are many kinds of suffering that are as intense as losing someone. In the last episode when he wasn't sure if he isn't his mother must have been pretty heavy for him and any person that suffered with depersonalization knows that. Another time when he recalls his encounters with Ruby, Bismuth and Jasper when he was fused with Connie showed he was suffering that plenty too.
Daniel Howard
I hope she is gone, because if she isn't...
Ayden Murphy
>Sorry for another Steven Universe thread, You should have just stopped there you fuckwit
Elijah Edwards
Steven watches a lot of movies and tv I guess
Oliver Rivera
>>Comparing Steven with Superman lol
Dudes want to see stuff where is none.
Blake Ortiz
Supes is like the default hero archetype. If you can't compare your superpowered protagonist to Superman you've done something wrong
