Cleaned link without whatever that site is: https://youtu.be/VSrv_n4tw7w and yeah Jack is a Mack and the Scotsman is Back.

DANG IT!!!

Steven Universe forgot the Rubies... AGAIN!

I wouldn't care so much except well... leaving immortal beings adrift endlessly in space is an extremely cruel punishment. At least in their gem form their sense of time is limited (how far they are aware of it is inconsistent)

To admit they could have bubbled-teleported them (I would have assumed a sort of... distance limitation), so hopefully they show their gemstones next episode... But goodness!

My favorite line from a recent episode of Star vs Evil.

"The point of Earth-magic is to allow yourself to be entertained, by pretending that it's real. Just like love."

[Neonivek]

Ok I miiiight be mistaken... buuut...

I don't think the "Karate" they use on the show is "Karate"

Then again apparently that is one of their more subtle jokes and makes perfect sense given the source of his specific style.

It is one of the few times I've seen a show open itself up to "Hey! That isn't real!" and it just going "Yeah, get it?"

Though sure will be embarrassing if it turns out it is completely accurate and I am speaking completely out of my butt. Though I swear it is just a mish mash of martial arts most of the time.

[Folly]

They explained that in the episode 'Red Belt'...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Marco's Sensei learned everything he knows from a series of cheesy instructional videos, which he never even finished watching. So no, not exactly authentic karate.

Of course, after 'Running with Scissors'...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Marco now has a lifetime of knowledge including training with extra-dimensional monks, so now he has legit reason to be a badass fighter.

Regarding Marco's ability to fight before that, the currently prevailing theory is that he is simply a 'child of destiny', imbued by the powers that be with super-human focus and determination so that he can grow as strong as he needs to in preparation for an eventual battle of good vs evil against Star.

[Neonivek]

Ehhh the basics are very important in martial arts so I have no issue with Marco being good at martial arts.

Since while... yeah... The Karate he learns is clearly fake. It is at least something.

Plus the monsters kind of suck at everything.

Or rather... Marco knows martial arts... Though it certainly isn't Karate.

(THEN AGAIN!!!! Him being good at martial arts is a debatable thing too. Given that he has never defeated a 8 year old child in martial arts. So it is very viable that everyone else just sucks more than him)

VROOM-VROOM JACK'S ARRIVING YA SIX-LEGGED TINCANS

[Solifuge]

OH MY GOODNESS HE'S SO EDGY NOW.

I guess wandering aimlessly in the cyberpocalypse for a decade will do that to you.

I guess wandering aimlessly in the cyberpocalypse for a decade will do that to you.

Half a century, actually, minus biological aging (dissociation of mind and body conditions, can't possibly be good for mental health) [see trailer released earlier]

The only thing that bothers me about this new season is that they apparently left the sound effects as they were ten years ago - very, for the lack of better word, cartoonish. All these swooshes and audible twists and all that, it was kind of annoying back then, and it didn't change a bit.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Ditto about the audio--the first trailer had me believing it would be a little more... up to date. But I'm still excited af!!!

[Neonivek]

Well I just saw the oddliest sexy thing I ever seen in a cartoon.

I am surprised it can get past the censors to have some muscle dude slather his chest in oil in a suggestive pose.

On a side note...

Man I like Renaldo as a character (the conspiracy guy in Steven Universe) I really do... But man are the episodes about him or strongly featuring him almost always so unpleasant to sit through.

The only one I think I like still (since the haunted house one is worse in retrospect) like is definitely the documentary.

I'm not even sure I like him as a character? The haunted house episode I still like (not sure what you mean about it being worse in retrospect), since I like seeing nerdy characters get to share interests that don't turn into them ranting and raving at each other. But pretty much every other episode he's just this aggressively awkward weirdo.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I kind of liked how they wrote him at the end? And "the magic of photo-editing software" is a golden line. And I do get they were trying to make him a stand-in for some of the more toxic parts of the fandom and fannish discourse in general...but I don't know that any of that is enough to make me really like the episode.

[Neonivek]

The problem with Renaldo is that the big joke is that his episodes TYPICALLY end with a anti-lesson for him... and he is usually just plain insufferable and self-absorbed.

The current episode just didn't sit right with me because I've been in that exact situation...

"Ohh lets give him a chance, except we won't REALLY give him a chance... Ohh look people who are advancing and doing stuff and your stuck behind"

So you know... of course Renaldo had to be a total jerk.

And then he learned his lesson at the end except not really.

Or rather... I think the writers think he is funnier then he comes off for me. He isn't a lovable self-absorbed jerk.

I'm not sure what you're referring to...but there's aren't really any hard rules regarding animated nudity on basic cable. I've seen uncensored breasts and genitalia on comedy central lots of times. It's basically just whatever the network wants to allow.

The Amazing World of Gumball s5 e18, The Console

This is easily my new favorite episode of this show. I could not stop laughing the entire time I was watching it.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Gumball made it to 5 seasons?

Well... It's hard not to love Gaspatcho I guess.
