Yes steven is 13, HOWEVER, as you’ll see in later episodes, without any major spoilers, he wasnt raised in a normal kid environment

These two episodes scared the heck out of me as a kid. Also! seeing Steven so childlike and happy brings me back!

Fake spoiler, the pants are used to defeat the final boss! And Steven wanting to be a lion is foreshadowing!

I won’t say you’re right, but you’re not wrong either. Keep them theories rolling. ;3
I will say that everything in Steven Universe is purposeful, and has an explanation. This show likes to make you overlook and wave away things off because “it’s a child’s cartoon” and full of common silly “tropes.” (God I love this show-)
As others have said: watching this show through a child’s lens: fun! …Watching it through an adult’s lens: . . . Well, I’ll let you figure it out yourself. ;3
All in all this is a 100% completely episodic silly show with no overarching plot or call backs. And nothing in these first few episodes are relevant later. And that was TOTALLY regular shapeshifting, just like Amethyst was doing, that went wrong and nothing else! Have fun! :Dc

his immaturity will be explained in future episodes so I'm not gonna spoil it for you but I will say that he does grow in maturity and trama quite rapidly throughout the series

The first season can be a random slog. Glad you're enjoying it so far, you got through the Akira episode too!

The entire thing is a reference to the anime Akira, honestly.

i forgot the cats was so early... >_< (great episode but boy is it rough)

You know, Amethyst is like Nimona in a lot of ways. They're both short, mischievous, shapeshifters, it's just that Nimona's forms are red or pink instead of purple. No wonder you like Amethyst so much. The only question is, do they have the same amount of trauma?

Yeah, both Frybo and Cat fingers are pretty horrifying, moreso the latter. It still freaks me out a decade later, and I'll give them this, THAT'S how you know this show does horror right.

It’s been years and this episode still freaks me out! Also, I love Pearl, the best neurotic bird mom ever!

Alright, who forgot to warn Mosco about the horror aspect of this show?
Good job, team! 😁
I think if I had the ability to shape-shift, and my very first attempt (as a child) resulted in me almost losing control and permanently becoming a shapeless ball of cats, I'm pretty sure I'd never attempt it again.

I forgot how early on this show got into the body horror stuff.

Steven’s more like 8

Oh yeah, there's one episode in particular that gets a visceral reaction from anyone that has read a particular short manga story (that's all I'll say, but if you know, you know)

It's amazing how many classic horror tropes they fix in this show, without ever crossing the line into something I wouldn't show kids.

Steven Universe is about 60% Wholesome and 40% Disturbing, *especially* if you're an adult and you're catching the stuff that will fly over a younger watcher's head ^^ Just wait until you meet Onion.

Mosco, watching this with the eyes of an adult, thought that the cat blob transformation was terrifying.
Imagine the kids who had to watch that for the first time and them not knowing how to process that. 😱

"Steven, NO!" And we have a new different kind of Catra...
Carabas

He is 13. There is another birthday episode people mistakenly remember as Steven's birthday, but it's just about birthdays in general and it's not his.
Vilmu
2024-06-24 19:24:38 +0000 UTC
idk if it was confirmed by the creators that he's 13 at the start of the show? I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the first time his age is mentioned in the show itself is when he's 14, and that seems to be at least 2 years from the start. So I think it's more likely he's 11-12 at the beginning, but he does act more like he's 8 at this point.

Some of the moments in Cat Fingers seemed to be direct references to John Carpenter's The Thing, which is a horror movie involving a creature that can shape shift (it's also excellent, if you're okay with gory practical effects).
Can't wait for the next one!

I've rewatched this show a few times, and every time I skip cat fingers. Seeing that once is plenty.

Yes, this clod still has much to learn 😌

Lol. He’s 13 in human years, but he is also a gem, sooo his development is different?
Edit: ah I shouldve waited until i finished watching all to comment 😂

I like the theory you have about Steven's aging process so far! This gets explained in more detail eventually, but for now, your take on the topic makes a lot of sense.
But no matter what age steven seems like, Pearl has learned to accept that sometimes he can act like a real clod!

Yeah these first episodes are wild. Hope you continue to enjoy them, another great morp!

I was waiting for this after you kept talking about how wholesome and cute everything is lol.
Gems normally only shapeshift very consciously and intentionally, so this getting so out of hand seems to be a result of him being a hybrid, which I like. Often when the protagonist is half insert-some-fantasy-being-here, it feels like they mostly just get cool powers and some typical weakness or two from the non-human side.
Vilmu

What a clod move Steven! You don’t turn your fingers into Cats! Silly human, hopefully he becomes a true Gem soon.

The first season is pretty episodic with little bits of plot sprinkled around, it's a bit of a slow start but it is there. I am glad that you're enjoying the show so far, and I cannot wait for you to react to more episodes.

S1 has massive tone shifts while the show still tries to find its feet, S1 is a trip.
