Honestly never ever would have imagined the series taking a turn like that. We go from “hi I’m a magic princess and I like rainbows and tacos and I have wacky school adventures” to "I must rid the universe of magic before it’s used to commit genocide.”It came to remind me a lot of Undertale, not just because of the themes of humans vs. monsters with the monsters becoming increasingly sympathetic, but the kind of morality it came to deal with.The characters wiped from existence by the conclusion are really sad and not all of them deserved it, but it was that or let magic murder thousands, possibly millions more people just for not being human.And while it also causes some other obvious problems, I really like Earth and Mewnie merging together in the end. It implies that things were always meant to be that way and only magic was keeping them separate, artificially.Of course, it kind of leaves off on the birth of a MUCH MORE INTRIGUING new setting, and what strikes me the most is that, with monsters now inhabiting Earth but no magic to speak of......Star turned her world from a fantasy setting to a science fiction setting, didn’t she?
