Now that Steven Universe has officially ended, I thought it would be a good time to talk about some of the unsolved mysteries that the show never answered. From what was inside Rose's chest to what The Crystal Heart was, we have a lot to talk about!

@rhymebeat1142 4 года назад

I think the "Moon Goddess" was meant to be Blue Diamond. She doesn't look much like her currently but early Blue Diamond designs (including the one seen on her Moon Base mural) had a very similar pallet to the Moon Goddess statue who indeed seems to be holding a Blue Diamond. Early on, the Gems were hesitant to go into the history of the invasion and of the Diamonds, so they replaced "Blue Diamond" with "Moon Goddess" and Steven didn't know enough to find that questionable.

@madisenc5309 4 года назад

Well idk if it was even a thing, the gems DID tell Steven it was just a test in maybe season 5

@XDAverylilith 4 года назад

I always figured that when Peridot talks about homeworld being low on resources contributing to why she doesn't have most gem powers it was because the diamonds don't have Pink's liquid essence anymore to add to the injectors. Sure, Peridot is green so she's probably primarily made from Yellow and Blue, but just like how they need all the diamonds to heal the corrupted gems, they probably need a little bit from all the diamonds to fill the injectors, and resources dwindling on homeworld means that they're either running out of what they have left over of Pink's essence from era one, or, they're finding it harder and harder to produce gems without it, thus leading to Peridots no longer having most magic abilities.

@jjaa_joyjoyartist 4 года назад

I always thought that homeworld must be running low on some resource that's unique to homeworld, and that the numerous kindergartens and mining areas on homeworld were to find it. You just connected the dots and now it all makes sense to me.

@kingdmind 4 года назад

I believe the chest was moreso a metaphor. Where was Lion’s chest? In Rose’s island. It was a metaphor for all the secrets Rose had kept from everyone, both literally (inside Lion’s mane) and figuritively (from everyone). The chest was open in SU: Movie because all of Rose’s secrets had finally come out, with the exception of Pink Pearl’s backstory. However I still would have loved to know if there was something actually important inside the chest and not just be a metaphor

@Buglin_Burger7878 4 года назад

Well rather then use it as a metaphor simply all they had to do was have an item belonging to Pink, perhaps even related to a character that was introduced in the movie. An import item which is a metaphor alone is poor story telling. Beast's rose in Beauty and the Beast is a great example.

I got a couple: 1, Did Jenny and Kiki's mother abandon the family to become a model? In Beach Party, Steven hands Garnet a magazine called Foine and the woman on the cover looks almost exactly like a grown-up version of Kiki. The Cool Kids all seem to have this common ground of having single parents and perhaps Sour Cream's not the only one with a deadbeat parent. 2, Where on the map was Pearl's tree from Gem Glow? 3, Does Pearl know that her hologram cut down her favorite tree and if she did, did she fix it or did Steven get around to that?

@ERCatPat 4 года назад

the jay crews show I think Vidalia is part non-human, as she has the same weird naming convention of her offspring, as opposed to Keith(? I forget Sourcream’s crappy dad’s name). Yellowtail also seems like he is non-human, making Onion behave even less human than his brother and Vidalia. Of course, the names could just be something to do with the kooky hippie type lifestyle that Vidalia seems to have, like how some people have unusual (and often disparaged) names in our world. It could even just be that Vidalia’s family are a kind of allegory to immigrant people many English speaking people are unfamiliar with, whose cultures seem impenetrable to understand. Whatever the reason, I love that whole family.

I think gems were created as weapons, they were probably just doing what they were made to do long after they forgot why. Constantly creating armies without having any purpose can be damaging as hell, just millions of people milling around waiting for a war they didn't know was over. Then Pink Diamond comes along and gives them a war and they dove in with fervor.

@PedanticPig 4 года назад

The goddess statue is holding a diamond. This is probably the origins of the people who made the diamonds. Also all dictators and tyrants have some kind of mythology to justify their rule over others. The reason the gems “needed” a geo weapon like the cluster is of course to help with their imperialist efforts.

Yeah in a way all of season one lead us to believe that there was so much more going on. I think the writers were still not sure what avenue they wanted to go down, season one seemed like it was gonna take the show in a magical diection, not sci-fi. Some theorize that this shift can be explained by the fact many dimensions were crossed via the time hourglass. Shifted from a magical universe with OG Steven into a science based universe with new Steven.

@vecmendes 4 года назад

Omg that makes so much sense!

@ThePotatoSapien 3 года назад

I think it was mostly about the shift in Steven’s perspective. When he was younger an more naive, he saw the gems as magical superheroes, but as he got older and learned more, he became more aware to the dark and more alien side of the gems. Since the show is always shown through Steven’s eyes, it makes sense that we would see things differently too. Of course, the writers were also probably trying to figure out what to do with the show, I’m just saying that they did have a lot this stuff planned and were just trying to reveal it in a more interesting and shocking way.

Because shattering Jasper permanently would send a pretty bad message, like as if she's the only one who "deserves' it. Also she just had to come back to be a complete psycho as usual and just make things worse by making Steven feel like a tyrannical Diamond lol.

@thelastwindwaker7948 4 года назад

It definitely felt like the show was a completely different thing in its earlier episodes. Nothing convinces me of that more than the haunted scroll from Together Breakfast. They can try to justify it all they want, but everything about it contradicts all that we know about gems. This is also the same episode where Pearl expressed interest in ordering pizza, so I can believe there was a good deal of retconning going on prior to the Lapis two-parter.

Maybe Lion was the only surviving member of his pride that was able to be revived without looking like a mangled mess? His scar could be under his mane somewhere. I wonder if Lion was Rose’s first time reviving organic life and she could have revived him by accident while mourning over top of his corpse. Lion’s pride could have been killed by another pride, a group of corrupted gems, or even hunters/poachers that didn’t end up taking away the lions due to the pride fighting back and injuring them.

I think there was another episode in Season 1 that revealed that Steven's first mission was actually a test that the Crystal Gems had made, to see if Steven is competent enough to go on a real mission. Steven got upset by this, so they sent him on another mission... which also turned out to be an artificial test. It's entirely possible that the moon goddess was just made up and never existed, and that the lunar spire was either an artificial place created by the Crystal Gems, or a random spire ruin they found.

@mystic-malevolence 4 года назад

Just because it was a test, though, doesn't mean that it wasn't a real place with consequences for its failure. Just that it was low-stakes enough that they were willing to risk it. After all there was still a divine sky-beam when they put the wrong thing on the pedestal, and the result was still the destruction of the temple. And when they made the test later, it was contained within the temple and could not hurt Steven at all.

@chaos4654 4 года назад

I heard a theory that they leave moons intact due to religious reasons relating to the Moon Goddess, meaning moons are sacred ground to them.

Or Maybe the MG is what Gems believed was their creator.

Its private, just for Steven. But then again I don’t think there was anything in the chest.

Head canon: Crystal gems killed a giant Russia beast and used it’s heart to power their home

@kauske 4 года назад

For the 'low on resources' mystery, that's sort of answered if you read between the lines. Gems were revealed covertly to be made from fluids that the diamonds excrete during the arc where Stephen comes to homeworld after being revealed to be pink. The implication was the missing resource was Pink's fluid, meaning all abilities inherited from Pink, like shape-shifting are not present in Gems made after she faked her death. I'm going to take a wild guess on the majority of season one stuff being much like Adventure Time, stuff that doesn't fit into what the show became later. Sometimes you don't go in knowing what everything will be in the end when you write a story. Some of those earlier episodes might well have ended up contradicting where the story went later on, such as the moon goddess, or the temple. Or in other words, they are unresolveable plot threads.

@ali773n 4 года назад

The truth is that the writing on Steven Universe was not perfect. And that’s ok. This is our beloved series that shaped a lot of our childhoods, but there were definitely some oversights. The Crewniverse was under strict timelines which was very stressful, that’s why some moments in Steven Universe felt rushed and some things were overlooked. Also whenever you’re collaborating in any art form some ideas have to be sacrificed. Not only that but some ideas evolve and change for the better, or change completely. I think Steven Universe is perfectly unperfect, and I’m ok with that, unsolved mysteries and all :)

To me, the gems were originally implied to be more religious or spiritual beings in Season 1 rather than aliens, which is why the gem related things from Season 1 like the Moon Goddess and the temple murals are more “mystical” than technological. Honestly I would’ve preferred if the writers took this route with the gems instead of generic aliens.

Once we're shown Yellow and Blue's extraction chambers I think it's pretty clear "lack of resources" means they can't make Gems like they used to without Pink. Clearly some essence from the Diamonds is used to create them. As for stuff like the Cluster and the forced fusions, I feel like they were trying to find ways to make shattered Gems useful again. On another note: I've come to accept that many things in season 1 are just MacGuffins that don't have any real backstory. I also never really want to find out who "created" the Gems, if anyone. The Diamonds could have come to be through some cosmic means, since they're basically gods, and then Gems are a subspecies they created.

I thought the recourse shortage was made pretty obvious in the Diamond Days arc. All four diamonds used to hang out in the "extraction room" we see Blue using, where some of their essence was extracted for use in gem making (we see this work when steven creates a pebble). Since Pinks "shattering", they have obviously lost her as a source of essence and had to rely on what they had stockpiled. Due to White no leaving her head, they were likely down to just Blue and Yellow for gem making.
