![]() ![]() Much of the first season is of the slice-of-life variety, following Steven as he tags along after the Gems on missions, figures out the powers he’s inherited, and makes friends with the various citizens of Beach City. His mother, Rose Quartz, gave up her physical form so he could be born, and he’s been living with the Crystal Gems ever since (though his father, Greg, is very much a supportive presence). Our story proper begins with Steven, a bighearted and chipper kid. “Did I really see that on TV?” Yeah, you did, and it’s only getting more audacious and amazing.īut that’s all history – critical, like Adventure Time’s Mushroom War, but mostly referred to in pained asides. But none of that quite captures the feel of the thing: the experience of settling into a world of well-shaped characters and getting to see yourself in them when you might not anywhere else, whether that’s in body type, or race, or sexuality and having those characters practically burst off the screen with adventures that the creators also seem to have thought would be Way Cool once upon a time, tempered through skill and experience into something new while retaining that feeling of possibility and the amazement of seeing something new (whether that’s picking up your first comic or seeing a cartoon from another country on Saturday mornings). I considered twenty-seven different openings that might best encapsulate what I find so wondrous about this show – its beautiful pastel color palette and cleverly budgeted animation its warm and dreamy musical score, which often burbles out into full song courtesy of series creator (and one of Adventure Time’s best songwriters) Rebecca Sugar its unabashed earnestness coupled with an equally sweet but sharp sense of humor or the Incredibly Important nature of its inclusive writing and casting (you may have even noticed the internet having a meltdown over that this last weekend).Īnd I stand by all of those as excellent reasons to invest. For the remainder of Steven Universe: Future, Greg wears a white T-shirt and blue jeans.Steven Universe is the show my twelve-year-old self wanted more than anything in the world. After escaping from Aquamarine's grasp in "Bluebird", Greg cut his hair off and now has a frayed edge at the back. From Season 4 to "Bluebird", Greg wears a black T-shirt and blue-gray shorts. Greg is balding on the top of his head but makes up for it with long, flowing hair on the back and sides which is grayish-brown. His beard and eyebrows are grayish-brown. He wears a white tank top and grey sweatpants. Greg appears to be mostly sunburned except for the farmer's tan and tan lines from his sandals. He loves his son dearly, and the two of them hang out quite often, sharing their musical talents. While Steven lives at the temple with the Gems, Greg lives out of his van as a reminder of his prime and owns Beach City's car wash: It's A Wash. Rose Quartz fell in love with him, and they had Steven together (though she had to give up her physical form for her son to be born, as only one living being can be attached to the gem at a time). He didn't have much success, but seems happy enough in his simple life. In the Japanese dub from the series, he is voiced by Yohei Tadano. His last name was originally "Demayo" before he changed it to "Universe". He is the father of Steven Quartz Universe who runs a local car wash named "It's A Wash", and was previously involved in a romantic relationship with Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond. Gregory "Greg" Universe is a major character of the Steven Universe franchise. I guess the Gems are gonna swap one Universe for another, huh? You know, you heading off and me settling down, it makes the kind of karmic sense I just can't resist. I mean, everyone can change, but not everyone wants to. You stuck to your principles, and I'm proud of you. Now, remember, Steven, if you run into any trouble out there, you can always bail. ![]() If every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs. ![]()
