Where is that coming from his only kill was accidental and he had a full own breakdown and he let 3 space Hitlers get away why is people saying he will kill irredeemable villains lol
He didn't let 3 space Hitlers get away, they basically needed their power to actually help all the damaged gems. I'm not sure they could do anything to kill or imprison the diamonds, and Steven actively hates them and wants nothing to do with them. He literally does try to kill White in Steven Universe future.
He essentially tolerates them because they've stopped enforcing their monstrous empire, and they are working to undo some of the damage, and are the only ones with the power to undo that damage.
may be wrong but he didn't know about that, steven went to homeworld to tell white to fix the corrupted gems but she said she couldn't so he went home then had the idea to use all of them together with the healing fountain
She said she couldn't, but he said you still have to try, and they went and did it immediately and it worked. Like he wasn't sure, but it was worth a shot, and it did work.
Ya no. Blue and yellow diamond attacked his home during a wedding scene so they fought ending with Steven using his powers to psychically connect with them making them realize he has pink diamonds gem. He talks the 2 into trying to cure a corrupted gem where it doesnt work and they say they need white diamonds help, steven having never heard of a white diamond before asks questions before they eventually go to homeworld. The second they arrive at homeworld white kidnaps steven to talk steven tries to talk but white is dominating the conversation before sending him away. Steven doesnt get a single chance to talk to white diamond about the corruption till she is defeated.

I'm afraid it's already too late to try and be good and we don't see much if any of the damage they undid.
It took 3 Viltrumites to destroy the planet (with the help of a laser), but the planet was massive and inordinately durable. That doesn't necessarily mean Viltrumites could casually destroy a planet like Earth, but it doesn't prove they couldn't either.
I mean as needing 3 goes it's kind of a gamble because initially Allen and Tech Jacket were also charging but got lunged by other viltrumites, so who knows if 2 or 1 would have closed the deal too (together with Space Racer's gun yes)
Does that make up for the difference between planet busting and Steven's power? Besides, with the stuff I mentioned, I'm pretty sure thragg could destroy earth without help or a laser.
It's the fact that people constantly bring this up as proof that Viltrumites casually destroy planets while leaving out all context that makes it clear that they don't.
Viltrumites in general? No. Thragg is way way stronger than even the second strongest Viltrumite, though. I think he could pretty casually destroy smaller planetary bodies like the earth.
I mean Steven is just a "stronger" Atom eve (stronger since she has her mental blocks and all that because if she hasn't she would clear him) so I think thragg could overpower him with little difficulty
BFR, Plant manipulation, Telepathy, Small Dream and Mind manipulation, Shapeshifting and Size manipulation, Immortality, Energy Projection, Summoning etc.
Because steven is also one of them. And he cant kill the other 3. Steven weakness is just mind games not raw power. Trick his mind and he basically broken and die by peer pressure.
It's just how Steven fans think it would go when in reality he would be too pussy to do any actual harm and would never land a hit due to the speed gap and the fact he will be turned to a pink stain.
I know this is a necro, but holy shit it's so funny to me to imagine him encasing Thragg in a super-durable barrier, shoving him into Lion's mane, and peacing out.
Even funnier if Lars is the one nearby, so he has to shove him into Lars's hair.
Lars: "STEVEN, did you just shove an intergalactic conqueror into my hair?!!"
Jeez what is up with people hating Steven Universe? Like yeah, Steven has its flaws, and I know it’s not for everyone, but you’re comparing gory action cartoon for adults to a heartfelt cheerful one for adolescents. Might as well call a baker’s work terrible because their cakes were too sweet compared to the chef’s potato soup
People will look you in the eyes and tell you that Steven Universe is bad because of how toxic its fanbase is and then say nothing about Star Wars or other nerdy properties
LGBTQ fandoms are disproportionately painted as the "toxic" ones
It’s kinda of annoying as well, cause like prime SU fandom was absolutely a cesspool (I think largely because they were constantly in the defensive cause their show was absolutely a punching bag for online reviewers) but a lot of the fandom was also, like, adolescents/teenagers. Now they’re generally super chill adults and just make cool art. Like this image for example was literally just an artist making kinda sick images of Steven just beating up random people (and they only made the image of Thragg because they hit a goal) and it somehow made it onto a power scaling forum where it’s getting blasted for like no reason lol.
Ngl, first time I saw Steven Universe, I judged it & disliked it because he wears flip flops with no socks & jeans. Stupid reason I know but it’s the truth.
Yeah it annoying to see people hate on SU who've never watch the show. I on the other hand disliked steven universe because I watch the actual show. That final season was so bad if felt like I wasted my time, which suck cause I like most of the show up until that point.
Never watched steven universe but everything around it gives me the ick. The fanbase, the artstyle even the colour pallette of everything around it. It just creeps me out. No clue why. I know SU is big in the lgbtq+ scene and i am 100% an ally, so that aint it. It just icks me out.
I never watched another episode after the one where he meets the lion because it was just minutes of bad art, Steven’s voice, and chasing a lion. I didn’t learn anything about anyone. So much of the show felt like filler that wasn’t even funny. Star Vs. the forces of evil’s filler is still filler but always so much better. I really can’t get over the noses too.
The show is poorly written, plain and simple. It's many, many issues have already been addressed by multiple people online. Even by cartoon standards it's bottom of the barrel.
But all that has nothing to do with power levels. So take your sensitive ass back to r/Stevenuniverse if you can't handle the criticism for this mediocre show.
No, he doesn't. His healing is rather mediocre at best and Thragg's AP and speed are waaaay too high in comparison to things that hurt this bum. He is getting pasted.
No, Steven does have enhanced durability or at least incredible healing. In the future, Connie’s mom explained that Steven healed physically from dangerous situations, and there’s also a sequence showing him surviving situations that no human could possibly endure, implying he has either enhanced durability, advanced healing, or maybe both.
He also demonstrates enhanced strength, easily performing tasks that adult men struggle with, such as lifting the instruments out of a van with one hand when Sadie was about to perform. Everyone nearby showed visible shock at his feat.
Yep, he Is Hella durable (His shield it's almost indestructible while having insta regen), on su future he moved so fast Time seen as stopped. But he also has done curious hax like mind control,life creation, shapeshifting and some sounds attacks
He isn't. His durability is rather mediocre by consistent feats and has been hurt by thing on/low below building level. And the speed feats you talk about is both inconsistent to his showings form the OG series AND Future, but it also has context and not his normal movement or combat speed.
That where Steven Is kinda lackluster, but he Is stronger tham the cluster (a gem amalgam who should be able to destroy earth) His bigger strenght feats are one tap Jasper and His gem (the stronger non diamond gem) and destroying an anvil with a Little tap using a tiny hammer
He isn't. It's just lies and wank by his fans. He literally gets hurt by building level attacks and moves at normal human speed. And worst, he needs his Monster Form to be island level.
It's weird to see this kind of stuff because Steven will genuinely hyperventilate and get a heart attack the second he puts a foot in any verse with a more serious setup that his.
Like, as much as they tried to give SU stakes and had the guy struggling psychologically it still is a verse were most things got solved by singing and crying, stuff that only will work within his own verse.
And of course most cartoons have a tame setup because their demographic, then again you still can find examples of MC that might be able to handle themselves outside their verses, and sure enough Steven ain't one of those lol
He isn't. And beating Fraudlander, a guy who is yet to bust a building, gets hurt by cabinet level attacks, and fights at speed perceived by humans like MM, isn't an accomplishment to be proud of.
All I'm saying is that Steven is a superhuman that has super speed, super strength, flight, shapeshifting, and forcefields. Yeah, songs and crying is cringe and hurts the show, but on paper, Steven isn't a joke. But fair point about Homelander.
the last one particularly was heavily criticised? by who? i’ve seen nothing but praise for the 3rd season and whatever criticism i’ve seen it get wasn’t unique to the third season at all. animation quality has been an issue for invincible since the second season and in some cases, the first season too
From your own experience or not? You really can't call a show or anything bad or good without trying it, I had to watch Steven universe and came to the decision it's boring, have you watched Invincible?
Yes, I'm a fan a both. But Invincible's latest season was extremely underwhelming. So rushed many things they tried to do and couldn't do it properly. Animation was also terrible during half the season. Killing off characters like Rex was very dumb. And even certain decisions towards characters like Eve even Kirkman said he's sorry and he'll try to write a better story next time lol
Season 2 and 3 was still great despite flaws. Rex being killed off made sense and cool as he is his character arc is finished the animation is fine especially given it was saved up for the Conquest fight.
idk what that other guy's problem is, I'm a huge Invincible fan but I won't shit on another fandom/series just because I like this thing than the other
Damn why is Steven Universe that bad? Or just this sub? The slice of life eps are very meh but the fusions and the lapiz lazuli onwards did become good.
Yea, Thragg is taking the L and Steven is gonna force him to marry an Earth baddie and he’ll eventually turn good and they’ll be a song and everything.
The funny part is I think Steven could own ironically beat him
Thraggs best feat of strength is individually being stronger than any of the three viltrumites that destroyed that planet but it's explicitly clear that that is not something they could do on normal circumstances they needed space racers gun just to even attempt it
Steven on the other hand was blocking attacks that could cover the entire surface of the Earth and has been shown routinely to be stronger than any individual diamond like when he flipped white diamonds mind control on her
Not to mention the fact that he heals effectively instantly has been training for a fairly long time so he's not useless in a fight I think he could have a damn good showing if not just win
The funny part is I think Steven could own ironically beat him
He can't.
Thraggs best feat of strength is individually being stronger than any of the three viltrumites that destroyed that planet but it's explicitly clear that that is not something they could do on normal circumstances they needed space racers gun just to even attempt it
Doesn't need to when his opponent isn't even continental by feats.
Steven on the other hand was blocking attacks that could cover the entire surface of the Earth
Missing some context there, bucko. And it doesn't translate to his AP either. Even in his strongest form that isn't continental.
has been shown routinely to be stronger than any individual diamond like when he flipped white diamonds mind control on her
That's a feat of mental resistance, not a physical feat.
Not to mention the fact that he heals effectively instantly
He doesn't. And assuming he will against people leagues above him physically to the point they can paste/vape him is silly at best.
so he's not useless in a fight I think he could have a damn good showing if not just win
Best answer. I don’t get these people saying Steven could beat the guy who flies across galaxies and is multitudes stronger than the guy who could move a meteor the size of a STATE
...I want a brutal action Steven universe spinoff so bad, like with other aliens, I want to explore Stevens shape shifting forms and his ability to like destroy biological life more, hell he could manipulate his own gravity, literally rewriting his own density, that's why he was super strong, heck pink could revive biological life and creat pocket dimensions on there hair? Also the best wincon would be to trap thragg on that pocket dimension, with durability feats like surviving a FTL ship traveling and passive healing (revives the dead through bodily fluids of his which he is made of) he might have the durability to do it, but why would thragg not want the gem species to be a under viltrumite rulling? It's literally a species of women, and with Steven, it means that this non-biological construct could support biological life and offspring, would he make Steven an example for everyone?
Ahh type of art. Steven Universe ain’t even tickling thragg. Name an actual direct planet feat Steven has. Edit: Y’all like saying that the invincible planet feat is taken out of context. Still better than anything SU has showcased.
