Steven Universe: The Complete Collection

Product Information

Each character has a leitmotif expressing their personality, which changes slightly depending on the situation. [79] Pearl is often accompanied by a piano, Garnet by a synth bass, Amethyst by a drum machine with electric bass and synths, and Steven with chiptune tones. [73] [77] Sound palettes were produced for the human characters to represent the evolution of the series, its characters and their relationships. Sound motifs and palettes were also created for locations, objects and abstract concepts. [77] When Sugar or the other writers write a song for an episode, they record a demo that is sent to the composers. The same musical style for a song and the character singing it is used for each song. Over time, the songs have become increasingly complex and production has become more difficult because the show's original musical style no longer fits perfectly with the newer lyrical themes. An example is "Here Comes a Thought", sung by Estelle and AJ Michalka (who voices Stevonnie). The two were less inspired by a specific musical style, but rather by the song's "feel", which Sugar had explained to them. [80] Broadcast a b Notkin, Debbie (April 2016).

Sugar wanted Steven Universe to be thematically consistent with hers and her brother's shared interests. [11] As a coming-of-age series, the theme of family is important since Sugar based the titular character on her brother. Additionally, the theme of love was inspired by her relationship with Jones-Quartey. [56] [175] The series also expresses the importance of acceptance, [176] [177] and explores relationships, LGBT identity, body shapes and "hues of skin in a colorful sci-fi magic display of diversity". [178] According to Kat Morris, the series' central concepts are developed over time in an organic way, rather than being "overly calculated" from the start. [178] Former writer Matt Burnett said the series' simple-life theme prevented the inclusion of "cynicism" or "snarkiness". [11] According to Burnett, the writers have no interest in a superhero theme. [54]

In September 2021, Abbey White, a non-binary reporter for Insider and The Hollywood Reporter, told The Hollywood Reporter's "Hollywood Remixed" podcast that the whole idea behind the show is "an upending of gender expectation", with Steven as a "gender nonconforming boy" with a family of "feminine non-binary, non-gendered aliens", saying this is "laced in very conscious, purposeful ways throughout the entire series."
