Steven Universe: The Movie
Sep. 5th, 2019 10:26 pmI watched this with the kids when it aired on Monday, but it's been a week in Chateau Steelypips.
On one hand, I was never going to like this because it consciously set out to be a different thing than I wanted. It is designed to be a relatively standalone story that could function as a recruitment tool for newcomers, which means it was incapable of really digging into the questions left by S5. Unfortunately, on the other hand, I don't think it actually succeeded on its own merits.
The kids liked it, though.
And now, the ( SPOILERS )
I kept the TV on after the movie hoping for an announcement about the future of the show, and I remain absolutely baffled that they haven't said anything beyond "The television movie is not the end of Steven Universe" to Polygon. If you're hoping that new viewers will watch your movie, why don't you tell them immediately afterward what to look forward to next?
Anyway. The dependent mammals should all be settled for the night, so I'm going to bed too.
+1 (thumbs-up, I see you, etc.)?
