my favorite thing about this show is that pixtopia, the last episodes to feature the two boring backup dude characters, had an excellent opportunity to write both of them out of the show forever, but instead they stuck around only to not do anything for the rest of the series

Fun fact, those characters only existed because Disney basically mandated that Marco had to have some male friends, and disappeared after the first season because the writers had no idea what to do with them.

my assumption was that they did some character polls after a few episodes and immediately adjusted the plot to feature janna and starfan26 more instead of those schmucks, who i refuse to remember the names of even though they were just posted a few replies up

I'm really expecting this given Buff Frog showing that there are peaceful monsters and the whole stuff from back in season 1 about Mewni's founding where it was heavily implied Star's ancestors drove out innocent helpless monsters to make their kingdom.

the enemy has always been the centuries long status quo splitting the monsters and mewnans, and the magical high commission is basically the group in charge of enforcing that boundary, so if there's an "eclypsa was evil all along" twist it's going to be really surprising to me.

She's possibly also a Monster in the Mewni sense, too, or at least half of one. It would explain her beast transformation, for one thing, and if she's what happens when Mewmans and Monsters mingle then it would go a long way to explaining why everyone got scared shitless when Eclipsa, powerful even by royal Butterfly standards, had a kid with what sure looks like a powerful Monster.

im highly amused by this possibility mostly because it would make mina almost a direct parallel to othar tryggvassen of girl genius

star vs. usually handles issues of class and abuse of power well, so it was a bit jarring to have the conclusion of the holiday spellcial be "maybe a police state is a good thing, since having your every move be watched means some of the good stuff will be recorded too!"

finally got to watch the last season. i would be completely okay with a legend of korra style revival series, my only worry is we already got giant kaiju robots in the season 4 finale

all the princess turdina stuff on its own is plausibly deniable as just being open minded about gender in general, but there's a line in Naysaya where the naysaya says "Marco Diaz covers the mirror when he showers, because Marco is ashamed of his own body!"

which to me as a trans woman seems more specifically targeted than the rest
