- Did anybody catch the Rocky Horror reference?
And if you're wondering, I am likely gonna make videos on Shastacan and Solaria, since they are family to Eclipsa.

As usual like everyone else Globgor was screwed over by the writing. However, he was actually important in helping to convince the people that he and Eclipsa are not evil.
Also why you have to say he can die and nothing or real consequence would happen? Like wouldn't this have an impact on his wife and daughter or even Star? It not only makes you sound Misandric, but also Hypocritical especially when you say to like his character and that he's one of the few characters that are not terrible.
I think the problem is that he was introduced way too late into the show so he barely got to do anything. He's a sweet man and I do like him a lot but he was just kinda there at the end and it's a shame they never explained what actually happened between him and the spider bites
Maybe because they hired a celebrity (Jaime Camil) to voice him, and he was too costly to use extensively, just like Michael C. Hall.
@@Rosemont104 that would make sense, tho i wouldn't be surprised if they just didn't know what to do with his character
Part of the problem was that he was really designed more as an extension of Eclipsa's character than anything else.
@@galten7361 unfortunately that happens a lot with love interest characters
@@hearteyedracoon8605Satellite love interests.
With his pseudo Spanish accent its clear that globgor is supposed to be eclipsa's version of Marco so I think the biggest waste is that this was never developed
Eclipsa is basically "what if star stayed irresponsible and self centered like in season 1 but she's also queen with reponseablities" so what if this version of globgor was more like Khal Drogo like kittymonk said just a rampaging barbarian that eclipsa likes because "hes a bad boy"
Or going back to Marco, since a big thing in his character development is his fear of being left behind or being stuck doing the same thing for the rest of his life Marco and globgor can talk where globgor admits he *HATES* the soft vegetarian he's become but accepts it just to be with eclipsa (he could be sitting on eclipsa's lap just to drive the point home) and Marco has to reflect on his relationship with star as her adventure buddy/lap dog
What you described kinda reminded me of the Doop Doop episode, where I think (though they didn't make it quite clear) that the writers planted the seeds for Tom dumping Star because he saw how she neglected her first spell and feared becoming another Doop Doop himself. As for Globgor being Eclipsa's Marco, they did nothing with it, indeed. They couldn't even follow through on the whole "Marco being the next Toffee" stuff hinted at in the first season.
You know, I think that's a huge problem with svtfoe as a whole. None of the monsters had anything to say about their own oppression. None of them had any opinion about the reforms Star and Eclipsa enacted, none of them tried to stand up for themselves or make change... the monsters were just helpless dolls for the Mewman princesses to push around.
Except maybe Toffee, and well... we know where that went.
So true. It was a white savior story about a group of privileged liberals deciding what to do with the people their ancestors oppressed, rather than the oppressed themselves.
Pretty much. A lot of it has to do with how they made so much of the plot come from something that the actual protagonists (Star with Marco) are only either relevant to by proxy (Marco) or are established as ignorant towards (Star). It's even reflected in the villains where besides Ludo none of them had any real dynamic with Star as her nemesis (Toffee alone was far more of a nemesis towards Moon than Star, let alone Meteora and Mina).
It's actually a big problem in fantasy stories with gods and demons and etc. where it's really hard to make all this big history with wars and cataclysms be really relevant to the protagonists when they aren't flat-out chosen ones rather than just them being ultimately just bystanders who the plot is rigged into following with lazy excuses for them to be important. RWBY is another example of this problem where the showrunners can't really figure out how to make the title characters be relevant enough to Ozpin's war on Salem which started millenniums or so before they were born and contains lore far above them but are too invested in them as the poster girls to just remove them from the story so we get cheap text dumps and Ozpin/Oscar launching cane nukes/telling how the instant win relic works to bail out the protagonists when they screwup and most telling of all having someone like Jacques get a meh sendoff when his job was done since he's not a villain who really fits well in current RWBY.
THANK YOU! i’m sorry but the whole show is so painfully white savior 😭
@@aesthedicks5103 "painfully white savior" thank you for putting a name to it
@@galten7361 that is what happens when you have no idea how to write a fantasy world and lack enough experience as a writer. That’s why many writers say to start simple. Cause otherwise it will go bad real quick and you will make things that you didn’t notice were bad be worse. That is what happened to rwby. The writers didn’t have many shows under their belt to that extent and the lead director for the first part didn’t know how to write a whole show just scenes and self contained story. For star is the same. While her author did work in adventure time even adventure time had many flaws and it seems she never learned from it. That’s why now the AT author new show bravest warriors is so good. He learned what he did wrong and fixed it. Fantasies worlds look easy to write at first glance because of how fun they sound but then you notice how you can’t stick one part without making it look forced.
Regardless of whether or not he was necessary, you gotta love him. Being part of the small group that was the characters who stayed likable and consistent.
Same!
I guess?
Consistent?
@@jaybonn5973 Characters like Star, Marco, and Moon to name a few, took 180 turns from their character and development.
Ex: Star was lovable and level headed in her way, and later becomes highly unlikable with a split personality that goes back forth like metronome.
@@roo1014 no I got that part. Every primary character got assassinated by the end, Hekapu was at one point pretty cool, and then she became a nihilistic bigot.
How exactly was monster king consistent? Last I remember he was established as a monster who is not as he seems, and the is as threatening as cotton candy.
I wouldn't call thay consistent, not because there's a dissonance in actions, but because this guy was supposedly the king of all monsters, ruling Ober everyone with fear.
How do you get thay reputation if he's a himbo?
Yes and no.
I think he was necessary for eclipsa’s story, but he never really got to have much of his own or branch beyond that.
Eclipsa having a monster husband, someone she loves, and was imprisoned wrongfully for loving is great to express the message they were going for in terms of wrongful judgment on mewni, imprisoning someone like Eclipsa just because she was in love with someone they didn't like makes us sympathize with her and how much the MHC villianized her because of their own biases.
However, globgor himself just never got the time he needed to be his own character in the plot, he has an interesting backstory and set up to be a grey character whose made a lot of mistakes and the way others speak about him directly implies he killed a lot of people and hurt many more.....but that goes nowhere.
The man loves Eclipsa, so all is forgiven, even though unlike Eclipsa, there was way more reason for mewni to actually fear globgor. Globgor actually made mistakes that are more rightfully seen as villainous from a mewman perspective.
He had been working WITH Seth while also trying to convince him they would only go so far in the war, there was a complicated relationship there we never see.
There was a lot of interesting buildup to globgor and in the end.....they kinda shove out his entire backstory. I'm not even sure why they tried to pretend he was evil, because I don't think the audience really saw the show making eclipsa’s husband evil after what happened in s3 with them proving that she was innocent. Making him evil would've just looked bad overall.
Globgor had so much setup to be an interesting grey character but he's barely in s4 despite the buildup, is forgiven and accepted instantly in the mid finale, and we basically never see him much again after the fact.
All the stuff he did is left hanging or treated like it didn't matter.
He's fun, but his character feels like it never lived up to the hype and got what was promised to him.
He serves to help eclipsa and they are cute together, but barely got to be his own person outside of that despite his set up. He's there so eclipsa can have her happy ending with him but that's mostly really it.
I'm glad he's there, but I think for some so hypes up for s4, he's mostly a footnote in s4 with massive wasted potential despite how much he had going for him.

It's really down to how they designed him around Eclipsa more than anything else. Even as a monster, he never really has any real agency on the matter of the fantasy racism outside of his place in Eclipa's inner circle.
I really liked him as a character, but in the final episodes, they treated him wrong by just throwing him away, and spent most of the time in bed
He barely had any screen time, and he didn’t even get any lines in the finale
Globgor doesn't even feels like a character he just feels like a plot device and he was introduced way too late in the show and he barley got to do anything he is a sweet man and has a great relationship with Eclipsa but it really felt like wasted pectineal
He's there for Eclipsa who effectively hijacked the plot.
To me; Globgor felt like Wasted Potential and nothing more and It's truly a pity cause we could've learned more about him on how he and Eclipsa truly met how they became Infamous to begin with behind the portrait but wouldn't be surprised they wanted to be feared In respect rather then seen as a joke.
When I first saw him and hear of him; you except someone like Tim Curry, Mark Hamill, Jim Cummings, or even Kevin Michael Richardson (who Ironically voices another Infamous demon; Triugon) but surprisingly enough during the time It was Jaime Camil who did not only the voice of Panchito for Legend of the Three Caballeros and Don Karnage for Ducktales (2017) and at first was an amateur actor but Instead slowly began to grew on me and was relieved he wasn't one of those actors that didn't fit the role. Though In my opinion I kinda wish he had an Arabic (or Turkish) Accent ever since I saw the ritual dance when Star was trying to gain respect from The Spiderbites or as I mentioned earlier ago go to the voice choices I've mentions as the alternative but that could just be me.
Unlike his wife; I honestly don't have much to say about him since he doesn't much materiel to work with but for the Coronation episode; Instead of rampaging through the castle to find his wife and daughter he Instead escapes and flees to hide from the High Magical Commission Instead when he said "I'm just trying to protect my wife and child" yet no difference they were gonna be crystallized Instead. Way to go O' Great Demon Majesty! 2nd; even In the worst final episode once he was healed up he doesn't give once a single "Thank You" let alone decides to spare Star and crew a favour by locking up Mina for good In a dungeon or squashed her like a bug for wounding him him and almost killing all the monsters which wouldn't been more satisfying to say the least though I won't be surprised the actor himself wasn't available during the time or ran out of money to give him his final lines. Lastly Instead of just being there as a background chilling back with his wife again or poses as a Deus Ex Machina Instead. Y'couldn't mind a few handful of episodes Involving him like one episode were he trying to be a good father and tries to catch up on the thing she missed out on, one episode where he's trying to gain respect of the Mewman but unlike his wife; calls them out for It for hurting his family not respecting them for so long as time as changed for them to adapt but never gotten a chance of fair respect while shows his more frighting side to him, maybe a few flashback episodes to flesh out the relationship, or even a parody/spoof on The Addams family Guest Starring Jana.
Overall; some think he's unnecessary but to me he honestly deserves alot better outside of being wasted potential and like I said before If Starco wasn't the *main* focus or the entire Season 4 was rushed out without proper rewrite or time to develop what Globgor could've been we've couldn't gotten a decent Anti-Hero let alone Redeemable Demon who deserved better Including his wife and daughter. I'm still not surprised there *never* will be a Season 5 let alone a proper comeback revival of the series but don't be surprised they'll decided to reboot the entire show just like they with Kim Possible's movie and some things should be left behind unless there were actual deleted scenes that never made the final cut but that could just be me.
About as necessary as Bubblegum's brother or the fact Finn and PB's children are still locked in psychic combat. Both pivitol parts to the story and play their role well but inevitably amounts to nothing in the end.
Neddy gave Bubblegum a sense of emotional attachment and a source for her obsessive caretaker behaviors and coddling
It was always my personal head canon that Shastacan was trying to force himself on Eclipsa to produce a new heir and that was why Globgor ate him. Too dark for a Disney story to tell, but it fits better than what we were told.
based
As someone who randomly lost interest in Star vs mid-Season 1 (and I DO mean "randomly"), my idea is that Globgor saw Eclipsa's Mewman husband treat her badly and decided that was a crime deserving the "eaten alive" penalty.
The problem I had with the shipping was that it was a lot of the source of inconsistent character development. How am I to believe that Star is mature enough to council/be conscious of other characters when she's messing with both Tom and Marco's emotions. It made her a Hypocrite when she was telling Eclipsa its wrong to mess with people's minds.
Well, not really, Eclipsa was messing with magic...
I'm glad someone pointed out that Star was messing with Tom and Marco's emotiions.
Star wasn't messing with Tom and Star's emotions, though. At least not intentionally.
I think the people forgot easly the past of Globgorn... The Spiderbites have a good reason for not believe in him. Ok Globgorn is a good father and a good husband but he kill mewmans, eat mewman soooo is a bad character in the past ... Just like Seth or Toffee
Like i said in the chat, i liked Globgor because despite his past he seemed like a pretty chill guy and a loving husband and father, but i agree they could've done a lot more with him character development wise but sadly they made Globgor the one missed opportunity every show has.
The male equivalent of a Mary Sue is a Gary Stu, come on : P I hate it when people use "Mary Sue" for male characters XD
Eclipsa, Meteora and Globgor were the most interesting parts of the show. All who were wasted potential.
Was Globgore necessary?
Monsterfuckers: *Yes.*
Ironic how Globgore looks like an oni, unlike ogres he ain't got layers.
With how much potential and buildup Globgor had, it’s just such a shame he fell victim to this show’s terrible writing
Hahaha, they literally fridged globgor oh my god (character close to MC gets killed/is in a coma/is pulled out of the story by other reasons so usually the main character has a motivation to fight the antagonist). He gets treated like a goddamn prop
Honestly, the only purpose Globgor really seemed to serve in the show was rescuing Meteora to show the Mewmans he really was just a guy who wanted to be with his family, and give River the chance to defend him by bringing up the point that he was a father. And that was only done to basically give an easy way for Eclipsa to gain acceptance as Queen.
Kind of surprised the whole issue of Globgor being free and then being officially king wasn't addressed in regards to the Spiderbites.
Pretty much Star v. Evil post-Toffee was Eclipsa's show. She's the one who's proactive against the fantasy racism. The big villains (Meteora, MHC with Mina) are either obvs connected to her or are acting in response to her.
i feel like we might have gotten a better show if it focused on Eclipsa's life since she is tied into all of the important events in some way, no problematic ships or forced ships, awkward moments and filler, really great character development for both her and Globgor on screen, and a lot more world building thats not just told and actually telling
Globgor was very necessary but they fetishistized him he's a walking himbo it's like they wanted to talk about racism but played off as a romance novel of the white woman in a abusive relationship n leaves to be with her non white lover with a seductive voice the fanart for him was crazy they wanted to indulge in a political topic but it was so whitewashed its like why bring up the topic if they weren't going to do anything about it n just solved the problem by destroying magic but keeping some of the magical creatures alive huh
I have to say yes.
He was proof that Monsters and Mewmen could live together if they put their differences aside.
The annoying thing about globgor is with eclipsa whole line is that the truth is more complicated. Them we get the l8ne about globgor losing control again, thinking we're gonna learn what happened, them when cornonation comes out it's like let's just forget whatever he did and I'm like aaaaaaaaaaaah! Honestly, a tv movie is the only way to redeem this show. Or maybe in another show....
Globgor his biggest problem is that he is directly tied with the mewman conflict. With Globgor being a totally reasonable nice guy the cinflict went from grey to pure black and white.
Can anyone really see this Globgor as a cannibal? We know he ate people. Noone denies this, not even Eclypsa. This is however completely out of character for the Globgor we got.
For all the buildup, I honestly ended up regularly forgetting that Golbgor was even in the show.
I certainly wish we had more time with him than certain other characters like Ponyhead, Janna, Marco or Tom, given his supposed plot relevance.
Hey now, Tom's cool. Janna's not bad either. Ponyhead, yeah.
@@galten7361Janna was super irrelevant though, you can write her out and lose nothing. Ponyhead also didn't really do much, I feel like after a point you could have given most of her relevance to either Tom or Kelly and not lose anything.
I suppose that if you do plan to cover Solaria and Shastacan, they'd work better as one video rather than two, since each individually does not have much to go on (given what little screentime they get in the actual show), and they both represent the same problem that Eclipsa tried to escape.
I think it would've been really interesting if they did go into his backstory with Eclipsa and how he was before they fell in love or if he faced prejudices as King of Mewni.
10:44“But Rhomulus has to act like a four letter d-word”
You mean dork?
Honestly I feel like everything in season 4 was wasted potential because the show was way too focused on building up Starco
THIS THIS THIS TIMES A MILLION. I felt the last season was spent focusing on all the wrong things :(
holy shit! Globgor voice it´s an mexican actor his name is Jaime Camil! he´s also the voice of Jorge Chavez (Todd´s step dad) The first time i watched star vs it was in spanish so i never knew that´s so cool! i reconoced his voice with one word!
also it's so funny to me that both of them speak with an accent.
I can understand why she didn't tell anyone. She's seen as evil and horrible why tell people the truth who would even believe her?
Well, Star could have said something too, the former princess of Mewni sure has some credibility
@@universalpower419 That is true however they could also just assume stars being controlled by her. The magic Council is underhanded and might actually try and pull that on her.
I Blame the later half of season 4 for being useless filler. Who else expected to immediately address King Rashtegan or whatever? Seriously, that was so much nonsense that, while amusing, had no business bein at the end of the series
Isn't a male Mary Sue called officially a Gary Stu?
if they use the reason why Eclipsa ran off with Globgor as her way of mending the rift between Mewman and Monsters that was caused by her mother, Queen Solaria,. Also Globgor might be the decent representative for the monsters' side while she acts as the Mewman side. Seriously, that will be like what they tried to do with Star and Tom.
Globgor felt weird because he went from being this terrifying monster who did terrible things to a cinnamon roll with anger issues. I'm fine with them going down the beauty and misunderstood beast angle, but it felt like too much of a 180, like they were suddenly excusing all the things he did. Also, the way they free him is so stupid, like the way Star points out the crystal breaking spell like she knows everyone bought the book already and saw it is stupid.
They should have made more episodes with it. They should have release him in episode 1 or episode 2 of season 4 or at the end of season 3 where he is released. We could have get to know him and have more screen time with him. The writers should have done better. Star should have been more sympathize with Ecplisa and helped her get Globgor out no matter what the MHC and the people of Mewni said. (But Star had to be an idiot in season 4).
Globgor was a very interesting guy. We should have a flashback episodes how Globgor and Ecplisa met.
MHC were too stubborn to see Ecplisa and Globgor as good people. They hated the married couple and their daughter to the bitter end. The MHC paid the price for their hypocrisy and their betrayal.
He added more to the story than Janna, who just was there more than she should have been.
I have to assume Janna was either a fan favourite or a writers' favourite or both, so they kept adding her in episodes even though she had no reason to be. I get that "this random human girl just keeps showing up in our magical adventures and we've stopped questioning why" is a funny idea but she'd have to actually add anything of value for it to work and not get old quickly.
It’s almost as though the show should’ve ended with the coronation
God it would’ve been so much better
Having a powerful character incapacitated during the final fight is such a lame trope, we get it they want to push other characters forward but why write this character into the story if you don't know what to do with them after. And it happens all the time like Wanda from the entirety of the first round of Marvel movies, the Halloween What If handled how her level of power would actually work in a conflict better.
First
I'd felt like this Major flaw is that focused way too much Shipping which makes it boring as a live action Teen Drama series
technically since globgor is a monster it is not cannibalism when he eats mewmans but its still fucked up
I really liked Globgor as a character, he was really interesting and the moments with him, Meteora and eclipsa were SO ADORABLE!!! I really just wish he had something else to do..... Or maybe we could've seen more flashbacks to what really went down on the day globgor and eclipsa were frozen, like actually see it animated or something idk I just wish there was more
4:10 wait, her husband actually loved her !?
Did he need to be in the show? No.
Was he a good addition to the show? I thought so.
If He doesn't need to be in the show, then it's not good addition. It's just a addition.
Globgor sounds like he writes poetry as a hobby
I feel like Mina should have been the one to free Globgor insted of Rhombules.
Except....why should she?
Sure, Mina is crazy, but she hates Monsters.
Why would she free the King of all Monsters?
@@johannesseyfried7933 Well the same reason as Rhombules would work for her. Or you could have her believe that the reason mewmans aren't fighting monsters is becoues they need a symbole to enspire them to fight and her killing Globgor could be in her mind that symbole.
He's kind of pointless as a character. I think it's because he's meant to be a good guy. It kind of spoils any actual issues they could tackle with him. The option I think is probably the easiest would have been to make him a parallel to Tom. Maybe give them an episode together to actual do an episode about how they control their anger how fight to not backslide. There's also the more existential route of having him fight with his sense of identity in this new Era where he's completely unable to find a place to fit. Then again I think it would be better to have his pre eclipsa personality traits bubble up more since he's had centuries to stew in his emotions towards the MHC which would be an easy conflict creator.
He wasn't even wasted potential. He was just a bad idea as a supporting character.
Okay so i actually did a lot of thinking about shastacan globgore and all that nonsense. The only way the timeline makes sense is if Eclipsa was crystalized and the MHC took Meteora to Shastacan (thinking it would be better to have her be raised by a mewman rather than a monster), but left Globgore free for some reason, only for him to eat Shastacan after he finds out he just threw Meteora away, thus leading to his own Crystalization.
this is a good video. Just something to add when you called Globgor a Mary Sue the male version of that term is called a Gary Stu
And _this_ is why we have fanfiction and headcanons, folks. :3. Yay fanfiction!!! :3.
I don't agree that globgor is like a lamp. It is more than that but they definitely could've done a lot better with with him and the show as a whole.
i actually liked the originals...i dont like legacys though.
5:19 What episode was that _Fairly OddParents_ clip from? 😂.
You can tell there was trouble behind the scenes. There’s neat ideas introduced but introduced waaaay too late.
I would've loved to see Eclipsa go into his mind a few more times throughout the season so we could know him better, with his release from the crystal being saved for the finale. The abandoned-Mewni-mindscape could've been the perfect base for flashbacks of their history together, using Globgor's first-hand memories to tell his part in the story, warts and all.
I always found eclipsa family to be a great potential but was thrown in the trash, which I hate because in my opinion doesn't their story sound like a really good story plot
"Trigon if hewent through a Magic Mike phase."
You know something I noticed while watching the show, Globgor may very well be the last of his kind. Think about it. We never see ANY other Size-Shifters and during her reign as Queen, Solaria was hell bent on wiping monster-kind off the face of Mewni. The Size-Shifters would have been the biggest, no pun intended, roadblock to that. And the fact that they were known Mewman-eaters definitely didn't help this reputation nor lessen the targets on their backs. So more than likely, with the brutal magic of the Solarians Swords, they could have been the first race to be completely annihilated in the war.
Globgor is another huge example of why consistency matters, is about all I can say. Two, maybe three whole episodes of the last season could have been used for far more engaging and relevant things, but the writers were too busy ramming Starco down our throats and reminding us that Toffee existed. You know, that guy who hasn't been relevant for ages by this point? (Sorry but I think Toffee is massively overhyped. I just think he had a Wesker effect on fans where he's not the type of villain you'd expect from this show. I don't count Seth at all because IMO if he's never mentioned in the show, he's not relevant enough to actually exist.)
That meme audio playing at the beginning. Actually sounded like Globgor I thought it was real. XD
I think she was married to Globgor. When Eclipsa meets star for the first time, you can see a ring on Ecplipsa's left hand.
She canonically had a human husband that she abandoned to be with Globgor.
Wait Is that Rogelio de la Vega!?!
I really like the character of Globgor and I totally agree with every point you made.
Loving the lamp arc so far
Globgor had to be written out because of how powerful he was. Despite him being so powerful could've been used a plot point.
Like: Maybe people witness his monstrous power and regain fear.
Jaime Camil is never extra. And obviously globgorb would be lovable. Is Jaime Camil! Comedian Mexican telenovela actor. He was the crush of many latino girls and guys back in the 2000s
Globgor could have been handled better in a way to fit the narrative, the monsters not fighting for themselves and letting mewmans walk over them for years doesn't make much sense. Toffee should not have been the only one with a plan, where the hell is Seth ? I remember when svtfoe was still in season 1 or 2 and people made fanarts of Eclipsa and Globgor, picturing him as an actual monster where their love was more of curiosity and playfull banter to later love but still having both be what they were. A good way to give the monsters a good presence was to make Eclipsa be the Queen of the monsters, realizing how wrong the mewmans were and siding with them together with her husband, that would make the high commission be really betrayed and hate her justified. And upon coming back the monsters that accepted her as Queen began to arrive and star had to unite everyone
Make Mina a crazy and SCARY dictator willing to kill everyone that don't fit in her view of living
Make Globgor still be the king and that's why the monsters are scattered everywhere, make Seth be his second in command that was related to Toffe. On the story they only focused on the mewmans and very little of monster who where the problem of the situation but never let them speak or make anything, aside from Ludo's parent who were apparent the king but still never show or asks if he had any servants
Have you seen ColinLookBack hes doing a retrospective on Disney Villains . He MIGHT do Star vs Evil Villains in the far future
This is just my opinion but, I feel like the writers didn't know what to do with his character and kinda sort of gave up. I'm surr they could have thought about what to do with him that would give him more development but..didn't have any ideas at the time since this was the last season(I think? I don't keep track anymore), which is a common thing in shows where you have a lot of characters, or they were too lazy. I crapped on the writers enough while watching the show, but I'll just say they didn't know what to do at the time instead of being lazy. I still love Globgor and Eclipsa's relationship the most in this show. It kept me sane through all the chaos. I didn't finish the entire video yet before making this comment so something simular could have been said, but I just wanted to put my opinion here, and by the time this video came out, video essays didn't fit in my own busy schedule so... I'm trying to watch all of these.
Not necessary but was a good character
They definitely wasted his character
They honestly did that with the rest of the family. They have a whole book about the butterfly family before Moon, but unless you read it, you'd have no idea who they were or what they did since you only see them for two seconds in the finale
14:19 deserved it kidnapped innocent baby to use as a bargaining chip and child was not returned to their parents throughout her entire lifespan what he put Metora through he needed to be ate.
Man I know the show wanted to subvert our expectations with Eclipsa and Globgar being falsely portrayed as evil with historical revisionism…but I really loved their depiction in their mural and was hoping Globgor (still hate the name) was some kind of malicious entity.
Him and Eclipsa at least being grey in their morality would have been cool.
What a waste of a title like “The King of Darkness” on such a milk toast Nice Guy monster. -_-
Critic Kevin Johnson put it beautifully in his blog post "Star vs the Forces of Weirdness" on Total Media Bridge, when he noted this show "truly seeks to tell very unique, very audacious stories, but in many ways struggle to push that desire into something meaningful or perceptive. All of the crazy, wild narrative beats and questionable characters are put in place to throw audience expectations askew, but it’s clear that’s just all the writers want to do."
Unfortunately from what we've heard from the creators, it sounds like Disney was tampering with the show from the beginning. Cause of that, yeah they weren't really able to go far with what they could.
@@MRDLT00 The crew always knew that they're just gonna have four seasons, Disney did nothing wrong in this
@@KaminoKatie You're an absolute fool if you think Disney did no meddling to the series in any way. -_-

What did they do?
He was Wasted Potential
Since you mentioned star having to entertain them while eclipse I was doing things I feel like it would have been better for star and moon to keep their Royal status since eclipsa doesn't care as much as they would.
Also I felt like it just made them more interesting.
The constant lamp jokes gets me every time! XD
Will you do a video on Kelly as a character?
I wanted a love arc for buff frog! 😩
I like globgor as a plot device
3 to go? Interesting... I wonder who's next!
Star Vs. should've ended not with the eradication of magic, but the dissolution of monarchy to implement what made Earth so great- democracy. All hail President Turdina!
With how the show ended, humans would definitely just annex mewni to some kind of earth federation formed after the most certainly huge shitstorm that were the first months after the merge.
That of course if they didn't end up just nuking the mewni parts invading the planet.
Technically, they did both.
your takes on star vs are frigid...

Do a video on river
Globgor and eclipsa were iconic and was not putting up with the shows bs in S4 and stayed amazing until the end
What? That's just wrong, didn't You watch the video?
50th comment.
No
Interesting
Somehow I got unsubscribed from you, so I gotta catch up on videos!
I think all the moments were very cute between them, but I really preferred another direction for the story to go. Star vs the forces of evil had such potential and it was so disappointing the more it went on to the finale
Wow wow SVTFOE! It's nice to take a trip down memory lane!
