Is this the best example of a show squandering its potential?
The concept and design given to a team not made up of tumblerites could have incredible.

Maybe, murdercock memes were worth it
I liked it. I don't really care about it's "squandered potential"
The tumblerites are the ones that came up with the cool ideas. I would imagine from the beginning, Sugar wanted to create a show that emphasized positive messages. Just look at the shorts that they made about body image issues and such.
They should make a show about Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond. Then you go along with her and the Crystal Gems in their war against homeworld. Then you put that on Adult Swim.
Dumb, no point in that, you know all the Gems are mainly static until Steven.
They should call it Rose Quartz Prime!
Yeah, no doubt they laid great foundations but then they blew it. Just look at the work of storyboard artists (anyone have that Garnet and Steven webm).
What about Emerald, or the chest or villains that don't become friends after a very serious chat?
It mainly seems like Rebecca couldn't handle a team. The storyboarders ended up having way too much say in the shows direction, and some of them were at complete odds with each other, and with Rebecca herself, most notably Zuke.
The biggest problem with SU is that Rebecca Suggar and the writers only really care about giving basic shitty mental health advice.
The characters, world building, the plot and everything else takes a back seat for the lesson of the day.
