How ‘Adventure Time’ Revitalized Post-Apocalyptic Storytelling
There’s too much post-apocalyptic fiction around, in books and movies, TV and games. I’d toss the lot into a dumpster now, except for “Adventure Time.”

Instead we dived into the real reason (sort of) that Steven wanted to be left alone, and dug a little deeper into the idea of his parental units via a room and a weird, very strange world created by said room.
‘Steven Universe’ Recap: ‘Steven the Sword Fighter’
It’s been a few weeks but the last few times in Beach City we witnessed a lot of growth in the series.

Now we’re back and “Steven Universe” went and explored the maternal dynamic within their group after Pearl took a blade through the chest.

Last week Steven put Garnet on a pedestal”and quickly learned she has flaws. This week in “Giant Woman,” he was fixated on the idea of what Amethyst and Pearl could be if they fused and became the “ultra powerful being” known as Opal.
