Flaws in Their Values
The Magic High Commissionâs values are deeply flawed. They despise monsters, despite the fact that their own opinions on the subject are far from enlightenedâand, as Star herself points out, theyâre pretty much monsters themselves. The mere possibility of a monster wielding magic was enough for them to imprison Eclipsa and erase all evidence of her half-monster daughter. Hypocritically, theyâre monstrous in appearance too, yet they cling to anti-monster prejudice.
They arenât even native to Mewni, but after spending so much time there, they absorbed its pro-Mewman/anti-monster beliefs and made them their ownâarguably worse, since they enforce them with cosmic authority. Most non-Mewmans who are arbitrarily exempt from Mewniâs prejudice simply tolerate it because it doesnât affect them (sometimes begrudgingly, as with Tom). The Commission, however, genuinely believes monsters are inherently untrustworthy, to the point of replacing Mewniâs legitimate heir with an impostor just to prevent a monster from gaining magical power.
Despite their distrust, they themselves are bizarre and monstrous-looking to varying degrees. They even explicitly declare that monsters must never be given magicâwhile conveniently ignoring the fact that they themselves wield it.
Complicity with Other Creatures
In Cornonation, Rhombulus initially appears to be the only one opposing Eclipsa, even getting arrested for public endangerment. But once the Commission realizes Moon was backing him, they release him and throw their support behind Minaâs coup. Only Hekapoo raises concernsâand even then, only about Minaâs instability, not the morality of the plan.
Their prejudice directly caused Meteoraâs family to lose the throne, subjecting her to years of abuse that twisted her into an unstable, tragic villain. Mina and her army only succeeded because the Commission sat back, did nothing, and later actively helped her.
They claim to hate Eclipsa, Globgor, and Meteora because the first two terrorized Mewmans and a monster child with magic was âtoo dangerous.â Yet they empowered Minaâa genocidal maniac whose actions nearly destroyed Mewni. And again, theyâre not even human themselves.
They donât freeze Mina, leaving her free to torment Mewni with her army. While they conspire with her, they fail to realize sheâs becoming less controllable, pursuing her own agenda. Ultimately, they die as collateral damage in the plan to stop her. Mina was already plotting to overthrow Eclipsa before they allied with her, and only Hekapoo openly distrusted her motives. Mina eventually betrays Moon, making her intentions toward the Commission even more questionable.
And honestly, Mina would probably try to kill them anywayâ
A. because they look like monsters, or
B. because theyâre simply not on her side.
