It is amazing how well-received Cartoon Network's hit show "Steven Universe" is to its audience. While the show is clearly targeted for its younger Cartoon Network audience, it also became a hit even among adult viewers. Now, it is quite common to hear grownups, along with children, wanting to learn about "Steven Universe" season 3 spoilers as well.
Steven Gets New Powers
So what can fans expect to see in the upcoming episode of "Steven Universe?" The clue is right in the title itself, which is already revealed to be "Steven Floats."
The next episode of the hit Cartoon Network show should be an exciting treat for all fans. According to recent "Steven Universe" season3 spoilers, the show's episode 6 could finally see Steven unlock a new power - the ability to float in the air.
However, the Steven's new power could also bring trouble for the lovable hero. According to Ecumenical News, due to his good deeds in the recent past episodes of "Steven Universe" season 3, the Malachite gave him this new ability as a reward.
While Steven has learned to use this new ability to float, he has not fully mastered how to control it yet, according to latest "Steven Universe" season 3 spoilers. In particular, the half-human half-Gem hero will have some problems going down. In fact, he will need the help of his Gem team to get him earth-bound.
Floating would not be the only power that Steven learns in future "Steven Universe" season 3 episodes. Steven's healing powers will also be greatly strengthened, with some even speculating that he may have the power to completely heal the Shards in future "Steven Universe' episodes.
"Steven Universe" Educates Viewers On LGBT Issues Early
While "Steven Universe" is certainly funny and lighthearted, a more profound message can be gleaned in its episodes. For instance, the show wants to impart to its young viewers that love is all-inclusive, regardless of sexual orientation.
Viewers were quite thrilled when two female characters in "Steven Universe," Ruby and Sapphire, flirting with each other. The show's showrunner, Rebecca Sugar, confirms that the two share romantic feelings, reports MoviePilot.
For Sugar, the representation of an LGBT relationship in "Steven Universe" goes beyond mere political battle or taking a stand. She explains that showing the existence of a queer loving relationship is vital to a child's development.
According to "Steven Universe" showrunner Rebecca Sugar, the current idea of waiting for the child to grow up before tackling this issue is wrong. By then, it may be too late. Showing a positive and loving LGBT relationship to a younger audience could conceivable make these future adults more accepting of the LGBT community.
In addition it would certainly ease the burden of LGBT youth when they finally discover for themselves that they are different than their peers. It is a known fact that statistically, the LGBT youth are at a higher suicide risk.
