Top 10 Reasons Why Steven Universe Is Better Than Teen Titans Go

The Top Ten
1 Likable characters

Robin- Unlikable
Raven- Unlikable, No one likes hecklers
Beast Boy- The 2nd most unlikable character, number 1 he is green number 2 he is annoying
Starfire- VERY UNLIKABLE! Totally useless
Cyborg- Likable (the only likable character)

Steven- Likable, most people like silly and bright characters
Amethyst- Likable to food addicts (me)
Pearl- Likable, cute, graceful
Garnet- Likable, Laid-back and funny with her sarcasm unlike Raven who is lame when she uses hers.

Pearl is intelligent and smart. Amethyst is cool and funny. Stephen is cool and cute. Garnet is serious and mysterious. Peridot is sweet and lovable. Robin is a control freak and a terrible leader. Starfire is an annoying hypocrite who is easily tricked. Raven is an evil demon spawn who just uses her powers for evil. Beast boy is a dumb boy who is lazy and unlikable. Cyborg is a stupid robot who is annoying and partners with BB.

Seriously! I know there's the original teen titans and can tell that was really good but teen titans go like everyone and everything was crap. I have nothing more to say about that. In Steven Universe the characters are EXTREMELY lovable, even jasper. I love to blab about this show and the characters are like NOTHING I have ever seen before. (Seriously all the cartoons of today look the same) I could go on about everything about how SU is better than TTG

Seriously, who likes the new teen titans? they're stupid and are tryhards. The Crystal Gems are different in their own way, with really good back stories about themselves, such as Pearl's love life, Amethysts home, how Garnet was made. We even got some back stories of Greg, the fun dad and how he and Rose lived before she died. TTG? Yikes, it's cringe. I can't believe I actually used to like it, before realising it's a stupid show.

2 More imagination used in Steven Universe

Whoever said that anime and cartoons suck, please get off this website. The creators of Johnny Test have more future than you. Seriously, you're an adult commenting on a list for kids, and only for kids. This is comparing one show to the other. And since we ARE kids, and we are proud of that, we don't want to see gloppy mushy sex scenes from a stereotypical love movie. You're just jealous that the creators of these shows have their own lives, enjoying it, and you're still living with your mommy. Yeah, just get a damn job already. Like the other guy said, nobody asked for you're useless hate. I am just sick of these creeps online.

Ruby and Sapphire were around before the series and in the pilot and
The early episodes because there was evidence everywhere in the show!

The red fire and blue water in the pilot where garnet was standing.

The red dot and blue dot reacting to
Garnet 's gems.

The cameo of Ruby and Sapphire in
Fusion cuisine.

And Peridot was in the series too cause she sent the red eye as found
Out in Marble Madness but she did'nt
Appear yet until warp tour.

And Lapis Lazuli was in Pearl's gem
Even in gem glow and the pilot in the
Mirror! as found out in Mirror gem!

And the cluster was in the earth the
Whole time! Found out in Jail break!

All Animation, including cartoons and anime, is stupid, you people have absolutely no lives, both these shows suck, and so does gravity falls and star vs the forces of evil, they are childish, the characters are annoying and unlikable and you will lash out against me because you don't have the common knowledge of how to get a life, if you want to watch T.V. or movies, watch live action, cartoons are for kids, they suck, and people who like them and are teenagers and adults clearly have or lives or friends. So yeah, up yours!

No duh, teen titans go! is designed for wimpy little kindergartners. Steven universe is PG 13 and is pretty much a teen show. look it up.

Steven universe is an amazing show, I love it so much. I absolutely hate how there is no story line to teen titans go! and I've legit only watched one episode of teen titans go and cringed. They totally ruined the first one and it's not original.

Still you gotta keep in mind that one is a teen show and one is a kids show. Kids wouldn't understand a show like steven universe with so much detail and meaning.

3 Interesting story

There is NO story in Teen Titans Go what so ever, the entire show is a big joke and the original was so much better! Compared to Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go is complete trash. I understand that the show is targeted for a younger audience than Steven Universe but there's just nothing about Teen Titans Go that would make them want to watch more. Teen Titans Go is supposed to be a comedy and yet they can only entertain immature children with constant potty humor while the occasional jokes in Steven Universe are hilarious. Steven Universe can balance well between different parts of a show that make it great meanwhile Teen Titan Go slowly revolves around the main character's stupidity. There are just so many things bad about Teen Titans Go that I simply can't list them all out. TEEN TITANS GO IS GARBAGE! I don't understand why it hasn't be cancelled already by it's bad ratings. Anyways sorry for the rant

SU: Gosh! Fusions... Homeworld Gems... Diamonds, you name it, some totally random yet reasonable thing happens next.
TTG: showing stupid episode *maybe next time it's about a story building on the episode* a totally different and worse thing happens.
and the only time they 'tried' builing a story was about Terra in Terra-ized, Be Mine and Rocks and Water. oh yeah, you asked for an interesting story, well don't look here.

From going on missions, to crashing a ship, to drilling into the earth, SU is so interesting; unlike Teen Titans go which ranges from going crazy over pizza, to having fat bellies eat all food in the city, to tooting the alphabet, that is so lame.

I don't even think there's ANY story in Teen Titans Go, AT ALL.
But if you look at Steven Universe, there's way more story to everything. Like how it explains the fusions, Rose's life before she died, the Diamonds, Homeworld, etc.

4 Can make you laugh

Pearl: I think your calculations may be off.
Greg: Well they can't be off if we didn't do any.

Steven- don't you guys need rest too, you look exhausted
(Garnet:looks like grandma-Pearl:just came out from the bar-Amethyst: mondays)
Garnet- we look awesome...

TTG is the worst show ever, but somehow It's the most popular show on Cartoon Network.It's mostly like by kids so I can understand why It's so popular.Not Saying kids are Dumb for liking the show,but to me and other people this show can bite my ass.

There are some laughable moments in SU, but TTG is just dry and awful.

5 Nobody likes Teen Titans Go

I'd love to go through my list of reasons why TTG is bad, but to spare everyone around me from malicious ranting, I'll hold my tongue. As much as the majority of people despise TTG (myself included), there is somehow a large audience that gives Cartoon Network a LOT of money, so some homo-sapiens manage to sit through it. But, unlike Steven Universe, the intended audience has no age-variety. While I would like to think this is just a phase on Cartoon Network, there will ALWAYS be a young audience for any loud, annoying, cheap show. While everyone who's ever watched SU knows that it is incomparable to TTG, keep your head up! SU will eventually get the spotlight on Cartoon Network.

Also SU is the most popular show on Cartoon Network, it's liked by people of all genders and ages. TTG is one of the least popular shows on Cartoon Network, and there are two kinds of people who like it: 8 year old boys and people who literally like ANYTHING. Steven Universe appeals to boys and girls, little kids, teenagers, adults, probably even some people who are over 100. TTG is an unoriginal Breadwinners meets Johnny Test monstrosity, not to mention a stain on the glorious DC name, while Steven Universe is original, intelligent, beautiful, deep, and even funny at times. In fact, Steven Universe is more like Teen Titans than the Teen Titans spinoff is! Yet the fools at Cartoon Network still air Teen Titans Go 8 times a day and Steven Universe once (twice on weekends)

6 Better songs

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the credit song, Love Like you. I sing it in my head all the time because it is calming and relatable. While Teen Titans Go songs are fun and have good energy, they don't mix well with other music, so they aren't the best for singing everyday.

Even though they are not the best songs, teen titans go's songs are extremely stupid. Take waffles, the burrito and burger song and compare it to the meaningful songs like here comes a thought. Pretty much every song in su is better than every single thing in all of teen titans go. Even the theme song is better. I would rather watch the songs instead of teen titans go.

I am in love with Pearl and Connie's "Do it for Him/Her", Garnet's "Stronger than You", the fusion themes, the background music, and especially the opening! The TTG opening is just a stupid kiddy dubstep remix of the original opening.
The songs in SU have feeling, meanings, and morals behind them, while TTG is like: wAFFLES.
This is really true, and I entirely agree.

Steven Universe has songs that constantly get stuck in my head. Even though I kinda like TTG, their songs are just not the type to get stuck in your head. Also, TTG has like NO songs! Stronger than you and Do it for her are so much better than TTG's theme song and other songs altogether

7 Steven is better than robin and beast boy combined

What the...? Steven is NOT dumb. That's the thing about coming-of-age shows- the main character progressively gets WISER. Even Pearl commented that he's gotten so smart in one episode. As for Robin and Beast Boy, I think their intelligence level has actually been LOWERING since the first episode of Teen Titans NO.

Steven is a not too smart character who is very cute, while Robin is a smart ass and a control freak. And if you think Robin is bad Beast Boy is even worse, he is like the dumbest character-seriously he can't even count to ten backwards, plus he is so annoying and does the most disgusting stuff. Steven is nothing like those two noobs.

That is very obvious. I hate BB and cyborg. Steven is pretty naive and not that smart but he's not annoying and he's becoming more and more responsible. AND STEVEN'S ACTUALLY FUNNY! "I caught a Peridot! "- Steven (spoilers!? )

Steven CAN at least save the day although really dumb, while Robin is bossy and annoying and Beast Boy fails, is dumb, and isn't funny.

8 Amethyst is way funnier than beast boy

I don't watch SU but I believe you. I do sometimes watch TTG and I think it's okay but Beast Boy just ruins the entire show. His voice is annoying, his personality is annoying, and his constant use of the word "brah" is INSUFFERABLE.

Amethyst is cool and actually has depth to her character. Beast Boy (TTG version) is incredibly one-dimensional and irritating.

You're grounded, Amethyst joke: now we're going to bury you until you've learned your lesson. funny

Beast boy joke: why did the cookie go to the doctor. Answer: he felt crummy. somewhat funny

Amethyst "never asked to be made." The same goes for TTG.

9 It's not an awful reboot of an awesome show

Yea right it not an awful reboot but they use good animation and great funny story but SU is not an reboot and well...the creator of TTG might be the creator of TT

This is a show you want a reboot from. We have so many answers get to solve: Where/when the the crystal gems meet? Is there a new diamond? etc

Steven Universe is an original show instead of a stupid reboot!

Teen titans go litterly craps on the original teen titans, while Steven universe respects it and is a worthy successor to it

10 No photo animation

Flash animation is a tool that is sued to make animating easier. If used correctly, you get greatness, like steven universe and we bare bears. But shows like ttg get so lazy using it that it shows! Sometimes, they will take a still drawn image of a character and slide it to move it (example: the episode where cyborg falls apart and needs to be fixed. When the titans move closer with their drills, they slid their bodies, instead of animating walking! ) and ttg uses photos for animation. Too lazy to draw a burger bun, tomatoes, lettuce and such? Just take images of em, stack em together, then you got your self a steaming pile of carboard cut out image burger turd! NOW LETS MAKE A SONG LISTING ALL THE INGREDIENTS! (YES, THEY DID DO THAT IN AN EPISODE)

Steven Universe- you won't catch them just moving cardboard
Teen Titans Go! - every episode, because they're the first cartoon ever, animation is hard

I know! The creators are seriously lazy if they have to use photo animation!

At least in the original Teen titans, the writers weren't lazy and put effort into the animation, and made 22 minute episodes unlike Stinkin universe, which has 11 minute episodes, with sharp yet dull animation

The Contenders
11 Steven Universe has a better story

Jail break-Garnet being a gem fusion of Ruby and Sapphire.

Same old world-Lapis Lazuli's back
story on how she got stuck in a mirror
and found by Pearl.

Gem drill-Steven actually talked to the cluster! so cool!

Message received-we saw Yellow D
for the first time and she scared me!
also Jasper was mentioned in it and
peridot called YD a clod to her face!
and now peridot's a crystal gem!

The answer-this backstory was so cool because of the birth of garnet and Ruby and Sapphire meeting each other for the first time!

In steven universe there are character arcs, morals, and will carry things throughout episodes. In teen titans go there is no character development, no actual morals and if something happens it will probably never be mentioned again.

It's actually one of the T.V. shows on T.V.
that actually has a story! see look:
Steven universe
Gravity falls
Mia and me
Avatar the last airbender
The legend of Korra
Star vs the forces of evil
Adventure time stakes
Over the garden wall

Teen titans go has NO basic plot. It is just all of these stupid morals and random ideas. It is like watching a dub step video.

12 Artwork is much better.

Teen Titans Go is just lazy Johnny Test-like character design with poorly-done flash animation, while Steven Universe takes it seriously with character designs, color, and effort put in the artwork.

The only complaint I have about it is the constantly changing character designs. Otherwise, it's beautiful.

I could stare at the sky in steven universe all day. all of it is hand drawn and extremely beautiful. that's why I'm gonna purchase some steven universe background art for my room

Not only is the artwork better, but the animation has much more detail and budget.

13 The theme song is better

It's not just the theme song that is better. All the songs in Steven Universe are better (and more intelligent) than in Teen Titans Go. Let's look at some excerpts:

SU:
I can show you how to be strong in the real way
And I know that we can be strong in the real way
And I want to inspire you, I want to be your rock
And when I talk, it lights a fire in you

TTG:
Waffles, waffles, waffles!
Waffles, waffles, waffles!
Waffles, waffles, waffles!
Waffles, waffles, waffles!

I wish that I was actually kidding about the waffles song. It was treated as an actual music number! Listening to it made me want to bash my head into the wall.

If you need to let off steam, listen to Su theme song. I love their harmonizing! but if you listen to ttg, get ready to buy a new T.V..
We are the Crystal Gems, we always save the day
and if you think we can't, we'll always find a way
That's why the people of this world, believe in,
Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl... and Steven!
It has a sweet tune, and an even better one in the other seasons.

The song has this light hearted beat to it that makes you feel all warm inside, also why do people involve other shows such as Teen Titans the original and adventure time when we're supposed to be discussing about Steven Universe...

I'ts stuck to my HEAD! I need to sing it out LOUD!

We, are the crystal gems!
We'll always save the day
And if you think we can't
We'll always find a way
That's why the people of this world
Believe in
Garnet,
Amethyst,
And Pearl,
AND STEVEN!

14 Rebecca Sugar is a better writer

The writing staff for TTG don't even remotely try and actually put effort into what they create. They just recycle old, unfunny memes and jokes found on the internet 5 years ago, and make a series with them using the Teen Titans as a skin.

Plus SU writing team teaches kids to love anything and accept everyone through their episodes.

TTG teaches kids nothing, except from being a complete douche that doesn't understand how society works.

-Drew The Cypher, of the Old Breed (CN: 1994-2008)

You may not know but she actually has a reason for Steven Universe, a good one. Not only to give everyone a good thing to watch but also to reach out to children.
she created the Ruby and Sapphire lesbian romance to reach out to children of lesbians.
what do you really think TTG would do?

It's pretty hard for her to NOT be a better writer when she doesn't have any competition to begin with.

And she's the first female to direct the show in Cartoon Network!

15 Su has more color into the plot, TTG has barely almost none.

TTG has carried plots for 3 whole episodes, which is the terra plot line. All were spread out so much that you could forget the other terra episodes while the newer one played.

Steven Universe has had a plot its whole series with just the right amount of filler episodes in between the major plot revealing episodes.

There is NO plot in Teen Titans Go. Its just a bunch of cartoon characters shaking their butts and screaming.
Steven Universe is so much better.

Well probably the creator work so hard than Rebeca Sugar. So don't complain about the color.

TTG just keeps using the same colors were as Steven Universe has a unique set of color pallette

16 Better story plots

I don't watch any shows that lack good animation, deep plots, likable characters, great songs, and its all one big story!
That's what makes Steven Universe the best current CN show!

17 Steven Universe is original, while TTG is a spin-off

Honestly I can tell you that everyone thinks that Teen Titans is a million times better than Teen Titans Go.

Steven universe is more like the original teen titans than teen titans go.

You mean a rip off

18 Pearl is more beautiful than Starfire

Pearl vs. Robin- Pearl would jack Robin up and almost kill him with her spear. Sorry to everyone who likes Robin- R.I.P Robin

Every time I see pearl I literally say
" SO CUTE! "
Pearl is the cutest looking gem ever!
(Other then peridot)

But Starfire I just don't feel any thing for.
She's either looking stupid or just making a face I don't want to see anytime of the day.

Pearl is 10000% better then Starfire.

Take a colorful blue and yellow outfit, and a bland purple outfit, which one is better.

Well of course. Star fire is the ugliest thing in the planet. Even more than a blob fish.

19 Helps kids understand LGBT

It is a fact that one of the main reasons that Rebecca made SU is to help let kids know that not everyone's the same and get a better understanding of LGBT.

With Ruby and Sapphire, two gender fluent gems who take the forms of females, truly love each other. And this help show that, yes, two girls can love eachother just like a male and a female.

Rebecca wanted kids to know tjat people like this are real and let them know that it is normal, before it was to late for them to learn to except it.

This is a good reason for a show like steven universe. Love is a precious thing, gender doesn't matter :) (I'm female and I'm in love with another girl and I can tell you its like no different from liking a guy. I'm glad this is on the list)

Dear everyone saying gems are genderless and aren't LGBTQ+:
Nonbinary people are still in the community; homosexuality is not the only LGBTQ+ thing out there!

Kids aren't stupid. They don't need lessons on why people are gay, but just THAT IT'S OK to love who you love.

20 Garnet is stronger than Robin

The titans and the crystal gems would not fight. They would join sides as they are already both on the same side. The teen titans go ones might, because they are idiots who use their powers for the dumbest reasons. I wouldn't mind it if it weren't on 24/7. I loved the original teen titans. And now I love Steven univers. So stop bringing in the original. They are both good shows. Teen titans go sucks.

Garnet would beat the living crap out of robin. Robin would try to hurt her with his staff while being spastic and stupid, constantly hitting her while it does nothing to her. Then garnet would punch robin once and he would be dead. GARNET IS BOSS, ROBIN IS STUPID

So most of the comments down there say garnet with super strong fists gem powers and bad ass moves couldn't woop the ass of a stupid brain dead jerk like robin?

Garnet could smash Robin when he tells her that she's a dumb creature and then Garnet tells him puny hero.

21 Connie is adorably nerdy.

Nerds... Are the equivalent of being smart. Yet most people look down and frown at nerds, as if the dumb ones are smarter, henceforth known as IRONY

Most of the time, nerds are pictured as the hopeless freaks. Not this time! Forget stereotypes!

Steven universe breaks all stereotypes,
Nerds usually are ugly freaks who usually get's beat up by the cool kids
But connie's an exception
She's adorabies, sweet and can use the sword, she's a better indian nerd than baljeet

22 There are morals

Episode "Cookie Cat" of SU: Teaches that some things you may have to let go. Also relate to it because my cat died.
Whole show: everyone has a purpose on this planet.

Teen Titans Go! Episode "Boys vs Girls": Had a contest to see wich gender was superior. They used powers. Only thing that they proved by using powers is that Starfire and Raven have stronger and better powers.
Whole show: Beast Boy is a total @$$h01e, Cyborg and Raven are the only characters I like. Not much, really.

Teen Titans taught me that hurting yourself on purpose was acceptable made you look cool.
Gee, thanks "Teen Titans Go! Because of you, I'm going to cut my arms so I can become 'Scar Man' like Beast Boy."
That shocked me. I know it's just a kid show, but there's impressionable viewers too

Steven universe lessons:
Love letters: love at first sight doesn't exist, love takes time
Future vision: look out for yourself

Teen titans go lessons:
Think about your future: live life to the shortest
Oil drums: watching T.V. keeps your brain from rotting

What I hate about Teen Titans Go is that the morals are godawful. Hell, even Uncle Grandpa okay morals! Vegetables are demonic? You should turn bad for someone you're infatuated with? Wow... just wow!

23 Steven Universe has good lessons

SU has good morals, but keep in mind that TTG is just for laughs even though you might not think it's funny. It's for entertainment and it's for children. I personally think that people shouldn't judge teen titans go because who said the show was meant to have a moral or a lesson to learn?

Steven Quarts Universe problobly the most likable person just face it (amazing singing voices all anime fan's love it.understanding plots everything about it is great) plus Steven is way nicer than any one on teen Titans go he's magical a pet lion he's not annoying. TTG how could anyone like that. Besides you can feel deep emotions while whatching it. On teen Titans go you don't really feel anything except for anger and annoyance I thought it was going to be good at first but when I saw it it was insulting to me. Put Steven universe more often its technically the best you got for now.

Steven Universe - Themes of love, friendship, and piece.
Teen Titans Go - Themes of going psycho if things don't go your way.

True but TTG has great lesson than SU but SU has it too but they both have good lessons. ( if it's gross or inappropriate then no)

24 More seriousness

Even if all the gems suck, the titans from teen titans go very stupid. And Steven, peridot, and lapis are gems as well. Lapis on her own could kill all the titans in one hit. Pearl on her own could probably cut them all in to pieces. In the end they probably wouldn't even fight. The titans would make a joke and walk away. Steven universe is probably one of the only shows that keep cn alive.

You can't even kill the Gems. the Titans are too weak so stop defending TTG. Garnet is a fusion, so what, what are you people, Diamond Authority, and Jasper?

Garnet is a cheater who is a fusion of 2 weaklings that when fused apart, robin could kill both, amethyst is a weakling, pearl is the only strong one, so 5 Titans against just one gem that can actually fight, Titans win

Garnet is NOT a cheater. I wonder if you're secretly Jasper commenting here...

25 No potty jokes

Toilet humors are one of the worst type of comedy that is ever existed for most cartoons today in history.
TTG is a great example of this terrible archetype.
I hope the creator's kids my ended up becoming a immoral and I hope this CN show might sue this.
TTG is the dictator of every CN show and the show might vow as your 'new favorite show'.
Dictators are always never elect to be a president but TTG never reject or elect either.
But Steven Universe and other good CN shows are the Theodore Roosevelt of Cartoon Network.
3 of some hatable shows (TTG,BW,and P&P) are the Axis Powers of your television.Think about it.
And if you are the victim of TTG's power,
stay away from it.
Or if you want to become a cartoonist well join the good shows and you're able to fight back so who's with me?

In one episode, Peridot locks herself in Steven's bathroom and there were NO potty jokes. Other cartoons who have to resort so such awful humor could really learn a thing or two from SU.

If you don't know what were talking about, then watch the episode of Teen Titans Go Serious Buisness.

Bathroom humor is terrible and not funny.
