YA’LL....about baby Meteora
S P O I L E R S B E L O W
ok...so I definitely missed this the first time and I don’t know how much is actually canon in the show, so bear with me. But, I think the “purification” of Meteora and then reverting to baby form was not sole the doing of Eclipsa. During Meteroa vs Star, we see Star be completely willing to hand over her physical power as a Butterfly to Meteora.
We see Star literally handing over her heart over, but instead of Meteora absorbing the power. (Like the soul sucking she had done the whole episode). Even though Star had just wanted to end the battle by waving a white flag, she unintentionally blasted Meteora’s eye which leads to Mama Eclipsa being a badass. But remember this, Star summoned most of whatever she had left TO Meteora. Star’s whole foundation of magic is based on her cheek signs, love/emotions. Star’s magic is also technically represented as white/ light magic.
Again, REMEMEBER THIS.
Next, Eclipsa already walked in incredibly distraught, knowing her daughter had no way of going back, there was no way of fixing or handling the situation without force, and that she is the single handed person capable of knocking her daughter down.
You see the camera pan so many times onto Eclipsa’s expression, and her tears. This was really powerful scene, not only had Eclipsa been wronged, etc, but now she’s stuck in the position of being the only person who can basically exterminate her daughter. She is literally watching her daughter die by her hand, and she knows it. We see Eclipsa do an incredibly powerful spell that locks Meteora in, who is terrified, and it seems as if it relinquishes the evil that was in her, was no longer intact. Imagine, Eclipsa being the queen of F***** darkness, I imagine her purification spells must be as powerful to get rid of dark magic, as it is to create it.
We have a moment with the cast, and then we hear the baby crying.
Eclipsa was more than shocked to see her daughter, just the way she remembered her, Star gave her the ability to re-start her life over again, with now better circumstances.
Eclipsa is not the one who brought back pure, child Meteroa; Star did.
It all adds up, Star exerting powerful white magic, her ability to bring things into a fresh and youthful form.
This is evident from when she turned an apple seed into a magic apple tree, in episode Baby.
Now that I’m thinking about it. That episode could be name ironically to tie into the show now? Star being able to preserve/ bring back life.
The last obvious clue that was when Eclipsa said Thank you to Star after finding baby Meteora. Of course Star was too SHOOK to even realize what had just even happened. And the show seemed to play it off as if Eclipsa is the one who brought her daughter back because she’s uberly powerful.
ANYWAY WOW THAT WAS SUCH A LONG ANALYSIS LOL srry guys
I just needed to process this scene above any other bc it definitely stood out.
jesus.
