after getting back into AT as an adult, I've come to realize that it was also "guilty" of most of the same sins that people religiously hated SU for, and now I'm just mad lol
#note that this isn't me trying to disparage adventure time at all cause I love this show to death#almost if not as much as I love steven universe#but both shows have a lot of the same 'problems'. inconsistent character proportions? check. storyboard driven writing? check.#story beats introduced but only picked back up many episodes later? check. a story about war that's not 'really' about war? check#if anything su's narrative is a lot tighter. at was a very 'fuck u I'm only gonna have an overarching plot when I feel like it' kind of show#which was just as much a strength as it was occasionally a folly mind you#but that exact sort of meandering walking-speed storytelling was what su got an insane amount of heat for.#and it's not at all difficult to see why one show became the internet's punching bag & the other didn't despite having some similar issues#at#adventure time#su#steven universe#fandom bs
