>>110080307The biggest problem with the show is that it is good at building up things but terrible at delivering or keeping up with the promised stuff.
We hear about an intergalactic empire but don't see numbers as humongous as such an effort would require.
We hear Yellow Diamond, with disgust in her voice, say 'organic life', clearly pointing to that organic life exists outside of Earth, and she apparently promised to Steven to not refer to other life forms as lesser, but the only fucking organic aliens we got to see were the worm things. And if there were more, they were so forgettable and didn't have an influence on the plot that they might as well have not existed even harder than the Squats.
The enemies are built up as credible threats and the fact that they're from an intergalactic, presumably monstrous in size empire capable of dealing with outside threats, but we never see Homeworld send a whole army against Earth, only an occassional pack of retards. Not a fleet to glass the fucking planet. Not a few ships filled with hundreds of disposables like the Rubies to just overwhelm the enemy, get the Cluster and reign supreme forevermore.
No humans ever notice or care about alien life, alien structures, alien ruins or alien weapons, nothing, nada fucking happens.
How to do these things better? Listen to me, a random faggot from /co/!
Have the Homeworld be preoccupied with a bigger conflict with some alien race.
Have Steven or maybe Lars run into a resistance of a rag-tag group of alien fighters, maybe Steven realizes that an endless war won't get this shit any closer to completion.
Have Homeworld's serious bulk thus be limited from attacking and whatever does arrive is kept away from Earth with old planetary defence systems Steven and co. activate. Hell, you could sprinkle in foreshadowing for Rose being important in the Homeworld hierarchy before she rebelled by the systems recognizing Steven's gem as valuable.
