So I’ve been watching a fair few clips from the new season, admittedly a bit of out of order and not the way that I normally like to go about watching episodes.
The from what I’ve gathered so far, I’m still not convinced that Star being back with Tom is anything to truly be concerned about at this time.
Perhaps called it writer’s intuition, but I cannot see those in charge of the show putting so much emphasis on making it a “big reveal” the feelings of our two protagonist for each other to then pair Star up with Tom and it going anywhere. I honestly feel this is a misdirection.
Yes, okay, Star and Tom have gotten back together. But doesn’t change the fact that things are very confusing and stressful for our normally cheerful princess especially after the battle of Mewni with Toffee having tried to make his return.
Then there is Star’s new super butterfly form, worries of responsibilities given the seriousness of past threats, the return of Queen Eclipsa with figuring out whether or not she is evil or not and what to do with her, Marco’s place in this season and him appearing without warning to Mewni to be with Star right after his breakup… Coupled with with her trying to figure out what she wants to do with her own feelings for her best friend and his for her.
Again, I honestly believe this is a misdirection to heighten drama, especially since the writers simply can’t get away with what they did in previous seasons now that they’ve acknowledged their two protagonists’ feelings for each other.
I’m confused about one thing though, what the heck happened to Glossaryck? I’m nearly certain that I’ve missed something of importance with the clips I’ve seen, though even then I find his behavior confusing.
