Meanwhile, although fans are celebrating "Steven Universe" return, there are some who are complaining over Cartoon Network's silence about the show and its upcoming movie at the recent San Diego Comic-Con. According to Polygon, the animated series usually goes on hiatus now and then, and it frustrates the fans. The break goes on for as long as 125 days without even knowing when it will officially return - making them wait for a long while.
