4 seasons and a lot of cringing later, I have finished stvfoe. Season 1 and 2 were pretty good. Season 3 was messy, but they pulled it together. Season 4 OK THEY COMPLETELY FUCKED UP THE ROMANTIC SUBPLOT but the magic plot is going ok OH GOD NO. WHY. DID WE REALLY NEED CLEAVED? AT ALL???
Overall, I knew it was gonna end bad, but HOW DO YOU FUCK UP THAT BAD-
(Tom, Janna, Eclipsa, and a select few other characters will forever be great tho)
NO LITERALLY THIS IS SUCH A GOOD SUMMARY OF SVTFOE’S FOUR SEASONS
Seasons 1 and 2 were so top tier and then seasons 3 and 4 were just a mess with their only saving graces being Tom’s redemption, Eclipsa being absolutely delightful, and Janna just being Janna.
The thing that sucks about starco and how they ended up getting together is not only did they wait until the ending of the show to do that but they crashed through so many shipping hurdles just to get to a ship we all knew was endgame during season one, it’s ridiculous. You can tell there were people on the Star VS crew who were biased for one ship over another and it showed through how we had to watch 3 couples get together and break up just for the inevitable Starco to happen.
The fact they spent so much of seasons 3 and 4 on the romantic subplot over its story to appease shippers is embarrassing.
Oh and don’t even get me started on how they fucked up Moon’s character in season 4 and how anticlimactic Mina was as an endgame villain. There was so much lore and backstory about Toffee and his reptilian army, LIKE HIS FUCKING LEADER SETH????, but they chose MINA of all people to be the final seasons villain I-
I just can’t with how many bad decisions this show made.
If you want a full analysis of how badly the show went downhill that’s not only incredibly well done but extremely respectful, I recommend this video by Blue Order on YouTube:
(Tumblr is being a butt and won’t let me link it so here’s the title and it’s thumbnail lmao)
Even though it’s long, he does a really good job with explaining how the shows poor writing decisions affected the show in the long run and what other choices they could’ve made to make their show better.
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve rewatched this because it’s genuinely a rlly well made video.
