  • Star Vs. the Forces of Evil used to be my top favorite show by a longshot, but throughout its 3rd and 4th season, I noticed a decline in its writing quality.
    In this video, I go through what exactly made this show fantastic, and how it "fell from grace."

    I used to put Star Vs. the Forces of Evil on a very high pedestal. After all, it was the show that became my # 1 favorite _within its first season._ But throughout Season 3 and Season 4, I noticed a decline in its writing quality. Plot points were dropped or ignored, huge things would come out of seemingly nowhere, and the story seemed become more and more neglected by the writers (who seemed to have favored shipping-drama more).
    In this video, I go through what exactly made this show fantastic, and how it declined in quality.

      Tom is everything like??? Star literally never changes. She just got progressively more annoying because “I literally don’t know anything about this new culture so I’m sorry if I act dumb” hits way different than “I have been to earth, I have been to mewni, yet now I cheat on my boyfriend and potentially murder millions of magical creatures because it feels right”.
      Edit: I forgot to add why I stan Tom sooo
      Tom? He was willing to go through therapy, he was willing to go through his equivalent of electric shock therapy, and like at first it was for Star so yeah weak but then it was just for him and he won her back on accident???? This is the type of arc I love and he’s also like a nice anger demon in anger management??? That’s so simple yet so creative. And like he’s powerful but he never feels powerful because none of his battles are solved by fire. He is literally textbook good character writing!

    its genuinely hilarious to me that star and marco were literally based off nefcy and her husband and they ended up with the WORST writing, meanwhile tom is "based off all of nefcy's exes" and he got the most ACTUAL character development. how does that happen? how does a SPITE character you made end up better off than all your other characters?

      Exactly, do an Aquaman. Eclipsa had her firstborn (Meteora) with her true love, Globgor, then she's forced to marry and have an actual heir with the Mewman king.
      Heck, they could have even made it so Festivia was like Eclipsa's niece or something, and was given the throne due to anti-monster bias. Either way, at least Star is still actually related to Eclipsa and that explains why she spent so much time helping her.

      well, i think the historian thing and the dating eclipsa thing could've been pulled off well if they actually explored toffee's past. he wasn't and average historian, he was a really, really active one. it would've been so easy for them to make it so he was just dating eclipsa to get butterfly information from her, since it's canon that he's despised mewmans for a long time.
      it could've been like this: toffee, during his historian years (either before or after his days as a general) was getting frusterated because he had heard of a powerful spell that all queens taught their daughters, but he couldn't find any information on it because it was kept between the butterfly family. then, eclipsa comes along, and toffee has an idea. he can get the spell out of her. so they start dating, and he casually brings up that he's studying the butterfly family for his historian duties or something, and he could tell eclipsa that he's heard of a spell that all queens are taught by their mothers, and he casually laments about not knowing it and how it would bring him satisfaction to know, even if he wouldn't tell anyone. eclipsa is apprehensive with herself at first, but seeing as she really liked toffee (maybe it was her attempt at an actual serious relationship) she tells him the spell. after they break up, toffee already has all the information he needs.
      i just made that all up in five minutes. the star team was working on season 3 and 4 the time that s2 was airing. it was such an easy fix, it boggles my mind.

    Something I don’t think gets talked about enough is the fact that Marco thought that he seemingly spent 16 years away from his loved ones chasing after a demon girl and didn’t seem to be all that worked up about it. Apparently we’re to believe that he never once thought about the emotional trauma that for all he knew his sudden disappearance may have caused everyone.

It also made any Starco moments non-consensual because they didn't willingly get those feelings.

Star by the end of the series had selfish qualities and trigger tendencies that was never resolved and was even rewarded. She has her good moments but especially in relationships, she seems to be only invested if it currently alligns with what she's focused on. That means she's not a bad girlfriend due to active intentions, but she's a bad girlfriend due to character flaws she isn't all that aware of. And when someone doesn't know or doesn't understand how they're in the wrong about anything they cause more damage. Not about relationship drama-but during stars song day she reveals to the entire kingdom that she lost her book of spells to ludo because..."she couldn't write some puff piece"?...Like the good and comfort of the kingdom is less important than her public image being dishonest in her eyes. The show portrays it as her being good for being honest but I found it on par with a divorced couple telling their children its because one of them cheated. I mean her heing reckless is a staple of her character but I feel like her character quirks become serious character flaws when the show doesn't adress them all that much.

And that’s not accounting for the possibility that they think this was an attack, overall the societal problems on Mewni will probably only get WORSE due to the events of the finale.

      That's the irony of if, they make it feel like if you just remove magic that will solve all their problems, when it reality it only temporarily solves the solution since there are other ways mina can hurt the monsters.
      So they had star cause mass genocide, destroy a source of power for multiple dimensions, separate families and friends forever and do god knows how much more damage....to solve a problem that can easily come back in an entirely different way.
      No one properly thought this idea out, because the solution of destroying magic kinda seems like it caused more damage then it just would've to have the four queens attack mina themselves and heal everyone through other means.

    • @Office_chair
      @Office_chair 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I think that's something that angers me a lot about the ending and how the show progressed was that I loved the magic aspect of the show and how star was a princess and her family history and then the throne was given back to eclipsa even though she didn't seem to care that much or take it all that seriously and then star destroys the magic.
      And like someone else said it kind of defeats the premise of star going to Earth and learning how to be more mature and responsible because she's going to be the future Queen.
      And also that I feel like it would have been a better direction that star moon and River continue to rule the Kingdom and eclipsa is like a duchess or some higher up title and tries to help with monster and human relationships and it would probably help that star moon and River the royals they are familiar with are still in charge and are trying to push this change.

    Marco being a twist villain would have been great. It would make a cool connection with the bat wing/skull design for "Evil" in the title and his wand design. Also his connection with Toffee. If there was a family link between Celena and Marco (or any kind of connection, I dunno) it would explain the crescent moon. Maybe Celena leaked information to the serpentines because she knew the danger of magic abuse and the risk of monsters dying out. Or Marco could have been a Mewnan who had his memories erased by the High Commission and placed into a human family to keep him out of Mewni. That would be hard to explain with his whole family, though.
    One thing I wished was added to the cheek mark/magic exposure thing was that only Mewnans get cheek marks from magic exposure, or if they have a direct link to magic like a wand. If Marco were a Mewnan or a confirmed relative to the true royal Butterfly line (like a relative to Eclipsa), the cheek marks would make sense. It would explain why Jannan and Tom don't get any because they're a human and a monster.
    Marco and Star as friends would have been a much more stable route for the series. And a big fight between a twist villain Marco and Star would be heart-wrenching, seeing two friends who grew together fight over opposing beliefs. Which one is right? Star, who wants to preserve magic and save the monsters, or Marco, who wants magic gone to keep the realms safe and also save monsters from an oppressive society.
    I almost wish we could get a remake.

      Or, considering how quickly Star was convinced to scapegoat magic itself for problems actually caused by people: Star could be written as the one who wants to destroy magic, having decided that magic itself is ultimately a net negative on her life because blaming magic is easier than dealing with all the problems magic has been involved with. Star then has to eventually face that this stance was her mentally taking the easy way out from dealing with the more complicated reality of her problems: not magic itself, but the people who've chosen to abuse it.
      Consider a full-show rewrite using the ideas they centered their plots around and mishandled. Maybe the entire overarching plot could center around an (initially) more straightforward end-of-season-two twist that the Magic High Comission are actually a villainous force, trying to keep magic in the hands of only the people they favor (maintaining the class/racism caste system). Marco and Star somehow find out some way that the ability to use magic can actually be spread, because it has been spread to Marco, and after the big twist with the MHC, where they fully realize the power abuses committed by these authority figures Star grew up knowing as family, the two decide to spread magic to people that don't have it, starting with monsters. The MHC are hesitant to outright label Moon's daughter an enemy publicly despite these actions undermining and destabilizing Mewni's hierarchy, escalating to a point of outright battles against the MHC when they try to stop Star and Marco, and so publicly label Marco a force of evil to the kingdom and the one leading Star astray, kind of paralleling how he becomes the face of the rebellion at St. Olga's (and maybe that earlier plot could be slightly reworked into foreshadowing). Maybe he and Star work together until someone they introduced magic to goes wrong, and she sees this incident as proof the whole idea is bad and backs out, coming to believe that magic itself must be destroyed since the Magic High Comission is bad but Marco is also wrong to continue their old idea of sharing magic. Boom! Three-way conflict.
      Heck, maybe Toffee and Ludo could join Star's and Marco's sides respectively. Maybe Toffee shows up when Star's at her most unsure of what is right, away from Marco and the MHC, and whispers right in her ear about the terrible effect magic has had on everything she loves.

    This show (next to voltron: LD, ugh) should be a poster child for why its important to have a established beginning, middle, and end instead of writing as you go. I really cant think of a non episodic show that worked despite not being planned out.
    Other than that, i unfortunately think that its best for the writers to not interact/ be involved with the fandoms they create until the show's actually over (especially when you're writing AS YOU GO). Because, whether they want to or not, they reshape the story to fit what the audience wants (or what they're responding to) and this ends up leaving everyone unsatisfied

But then we see that Star consistently struggles against enemies like Ludo. But THEN it makes it seem that Star is actually STRONGER than Eclipsa as she masters wandless magic in a few years, something Eclipsa COULD NOT DO. And THEN they show that meteora is even stronger than Star, since she’s able to dip down as a baby. But meteora couldn’t be used to defeat ANY of the Solarian warriors?

    I think a major problem is that they started the show with the idea of character driven story, and they brought up all these really interesting elements, but they didn't have a plan for any of it so it just fell into chaos with them scrambling back and forth between being character driven and world driven. But in doing so they completely lost track of where the plot was and where the character arcs were meant to go. I was all for some shippy, relationship stuff, all for Starco so long as there was a fulfilling and gradual move towards it, but again, it was like they couldn't decide how to do that and so it went from a beautiful and natural relationship, to incredibly forced.

As well as the art in that room in the first season, I remember waiting for so long for that room in St. Olgas (pretty sure it was there, its been years) to have SOME meaning, and it just never did. I can't decide whether they kept having new ideas as to where to take the show and just couldn't decide, or if they just put as much random shit in as possible to make anything they did later seem planned. I'm mostly just mad at what the show could have been. It started so charming and lovely and then I couldn't even watch the last season cause I was so fed up with things just being ignored.

      I'm a starco shipper too, and boy was I blinded by my modern reaction to the confirmation. They could have done it so better if they want it to be Canon. Make it feel satisfying and impactful after 4 years of the teasing, but instead of doing that they killed of Tomstar out of nowhere and two episodes later make starco Canon. Why didn't they just make a proper build up and timing. I understand that they were lucky for having a fourth season and knew it was the last but that's not an excuse to say " Screw it, let's rush the plot, sacrifice a few ships that had build up, and make it about racism and starco fan service up until the finale where we made a concept that had no build up throughout the show about destroying magic and make a 'sweet and happy' starco ending. This show could've done better even with 4 seasons yet they still fucked it up. Thanks Daron for making a bad writing to an already good show.

It became so much less of her own story that she (and the rest of her team) actually started taking sides of ships instead of thinking logically. For example, they all loved Starco and were obviously doing their hardest to make it happen, but because of this they just sort of pushed away everything in the way (Kellco, TomStar...) just to make it happen, which wasn’t fair to others.

    About the book, Gravity Falls did something similar. There's a physical book you can buy that's basically the Third Journal that was used heavily in the show. The book had pages that were identical to the ones shown in the show, and also added on to the characters, story, lore, and worldbuilding tenfold. And it's just as funny, charming, educational, and touching as the show itself was.
    However, unlike SVTFOE, you didn't need the book to enjoy the show. I'd already watched Gravity Falls through multiple times before I even realized the book existed. Reading the book made the overall experience better by introducing things and building off of things you didn't get in the show, but you didn't need it. The show gave you everything you needed to both love the characters, and to understand the story it was trying to tell. It was optional, and a great purchase imo if you wanted more. It didn't borderline punish you for being in the dark if you didn't have it, and didn't leave you feeling forced to have it by feeling like you were missing out on important details.

    I don't think "Continuity Coordinator" means what you think it means. In a live action TV production, "continuity" usually does not refer to what fans call "continuity". It's not about story, it's about items in the scene. Like making sure a cup of coffee stays on a table between takes. Given that "Wendy J" here was later credited as "Animation Checker", it's likely that "Continuity" was about making sure that the characters and objects in an animation cell were consistent between cells.

    My personal headcanon is that Glosserik was just so suicidal and nihilistic by the point of the show from repeating time and exploring every crevice of the multiverse that he wanted to end his own existence, but for some reason couldn't do it himself, maybe because since his being is so tied to the magic that even if he tried he would have failed and have been brought back so long as magic still existed.
    As such he manipulated everyone and probably used some cognitohazard-esc ability to cloud the cast's judgment to destroy magic. As only the destruction of magic once and for all was the only way he could truly rest in peace.
    It would explain how literally everyone just seems to be ok about killing themselves, specifically hekapoo and glosserik himself despite the two of them no doubt being the two people in the multiverse who would best recognize the consequences of an action such as this. Heckapoo specifically doesn't seem like the person to have made such a decision to just kill herself so melodramatically so I think glosserick was brainwashing/manipulating her to trick the cast into doing what he wants, something he could do being her creator/father probably
    Because, like, otherwise it would make no sense for these two extremely powerful entities to just willingly desire to not only kill/cripple themselves but also every other magical being in the multiverse as well as cripple every society in the universes that used magic as an energy source over a force in a single universe that a least a ballistic missile could have destroyed, and at most a nuke. and that's not talking about all the other crazy shit spells in that spell book that currently three different queens had in their possession for years. There is literally a spell that can cut planets in half, I doubt such a spell wouldn't be able to cut the rebellion's force in half quite literally. honestly I also forget the reason why eclipsa didn't just kill them all because she easily could have.
    so ya #blameglosserick
    he could have stopped all this shit if he wanted to or given some way to nullify ]magic in a certain field around the racists or just suggest or do something if he wanted to, but he didn't because he wanted to kill himself and brainwashed/manipulated everyone into helping him do it.

It's basically the Devilman ending in a way. but that's just my theory.

    Unpopular opinion: The shipping drama never belonged in the show, not even in s1 and s2. You don't make a high stakes action-adventure setting and then spend entire episodes whining about who is kissing who. So much of what was in the books Daron published could have been in the show if they ditched most of the useless filler and shipping episodes. If they wanted relationships in the show they should have been subtle and advance with the story instead of completely diverting from everything just to focus on it.

    It's funny, I remember watching some Owl House related content back when season 1 had just ended and saw someone post a comment along the lines of "Lumity fans be careful! Don't ship them too hard or it'll ruin the show, like with SVTFOE." But fans _did_ ship Lumity super hard, yet the show stayed intact, even when it was canceled and its last season was cut extremely short. Just goes to show that it's not simply the fans' fault for getting too into the show, it's on the show's creators to not let shipping overrule story quality. TOH creator Dana Terrace said she wasn't very into romance, which I think ironically made her really good at keeping Lumity grounded and working _with_ the plot rather than overpowering it and made them a healthy example of a relationship for any viewer. The SVTFOE writers fangirled over Starco so hard the relationship drama impeded on the quality of the whole story and toxic relationship dynamics were portrayed from not too serious to admirable and cute. It also helps that TOH was actually thought out ahead of time while SVTFOE was thought up as it went along and the writers were too willing to bend to the will of what they and the fans personally wanted as opposed to what was actually good for the show.
