>>78907482I love both GF and SU but they have stuff that drags them down for me.
GF is a fantastic show that is ultimately dragged down by its characters of all things, Mabel is just awful to the point it negates her good traits like being cute and funny and Dipper is stuck in a weird limbo where he should be developed to be a badass but the show doesnt want him to or something, like he needs to be pathetic to be relatable or something.
If it wasnt for characters like Stan and Soos I probably would ended dropping the show despite the great continuity and actual subtle lore.
Steven Universe is a different beast, it does something that I hate. while GF has a ton of obvious hidden lore and it delivers it in a timely fashion, SU from the very START just dangle unexplained lore in your face. look at all this weird shit all over!
The show goes "see all this shit? you wish we told what all this shit is dont you?! well we wont tell you and it will go unexplained for years! and you will watch every episode in hope any of this shit is EXPLAINED at all!"
And I dont mean that in a "I want every detail explained to me ASAP!" way, but in that that stupid show has so much important shit just ignored for no reason other than "we just not gonna tell you now" is hysterical.
But since I still tune into every episode to see if I get some damn explanations about stuff mean its probably a good thing the show does that, but I still hate it.
