Don’t get me wrong, I love Marco. Well, season 1 and 2 Marco.. season 3 Marco… has less to be desired.
So I have quiet a few problems with Marco’s character this season, him leaving his home and just forcing himself back into Star’s life and expecting everything to be the way it was, him acting superior as if he understands mewmin politics and everything that is going on around him, not to mention bis treatment of Tom in monster bash.
Now I know this opinion will not be popular but to me Marco has… regressed, as a character rather than grown.
I may seem too mad about all of this but it’s because I LOVED Marco in the first two seasons, and I hate how the show is treating his character in the third.
Him leaving his home and just coming to mewni without even talking to Star… not okay.
The worst is Star never even asked anything of him he’s just forcing this on her. Personally if someone did that for me I’d feel so guilty and torn up about it like I don’t want you doing this for me??? I don’t want to giving up your life to live for mine? But hey that’s just me.
Also he just expected her to have room for him there? Like it’s not earth Marco where she just goofs off and fights monsters, where you guys go on fun little dimensional hopping adventures, she’s a princess training to be queen. She had a big wake up call and now wants to really focus on herself and her kingdom. She has this terrifying strong power and the weight of worlds on her shoulders, she’s playing in this endless political chess mind game where she has to find a way to make everyone happy which isn’t possible and she’s setting herself up to be hurt and ridiculed. She has so much going on for her right now… but nah let her drop everything so you can move in and play fucking hero.
I’ve seen so many posts about Star treating Marco so dismissively when he got to Mewni and how that’s not ‘in character’ for her at all.I see people saying she was being so mean to Marco but like… her frustration is so valid? She left Marco where he would be safe because let’s be honest, at this point she’s fighting something much more powerful than monsters and his karate isn’t going to help him much here. She does not have the time to worry about him
Another thing is his treatment of the other royals, and the entire political situation going on right now. Season one he pointed out the mewni battle wasn’t fair (which I give you points for Marco but at the same time here on mewni amongst the political chaos you are really out of your depth here). Honestly he doesn’t understand mewnin politics at all (I don’t expect him to either) but the way he treated rich pigeon in ‘Death Peck’ was uncalled for. Especially since Star was trying to create a treaty and you can see Marco’s attitude towards her allied kingdom, is stressing her out. She’s trying to be a good queen and set up a treaty for a new life with equality between monsters and mewmins and he just breaks the prince’s leg and insults hi and his kingdom. (like wtf).
Then there is his bitter salty treatment of Tom in monster bash, beyond his crap and his apathy towards his supposed friend Tom when he see’s Tom and Star are having problems. But I want to talk about his entitled speech about what Star is trying to do, talking to Tom, the prince of the underworld. Who we’ve seen (in starfari) get confused as a monster and mistreated until they realized who he is, and yet here Marco is trying to lecture him about equality and politics.
Marco is right about one thing, Tom’s entire life is politics, so is Star’s. So excuse Tom for wanting one night to not be future rulers, for wanting one night to be kids at a party. To have a night with his girlfriend.
Fucking sit down Marco you have no idea what you are talking about. You are so far out of your element here.
