Yeah, the pacing in this show has always been weird, but it's especially bad later on. Like maybe S1's problem was that sometimes it felt TOO fast, but then you watch S3 and it's just characters standing in the same room talking for like half the episode at least (or at least it feels like that; I'm not masochistic enough to actually rewatch and keep track), and you realize how much better the wacky fast-paced stuff actually was in retrospect.

>Since S2 I've started taking note of episodes where zero or near zero spells or other magic is done
Just you fucking wait. It only gets worse from here.

Star Vs is the show that ACTUALLY should have stopped at S2 or S3
While SU is the show that always gets told should have ended earlier.

I loved how manic it was in season 1. I loved all the little animation touches like Star's poses or these really quick wacky movements.
I saw a clip of the last season and everyone was just standing there talking, it looked really dull.

I feel it was good up to s2. S3 was just disappointing with its weird writing choices, and I heard that s4 was so bad that it ended with star committing omnicide, so I can say that stopping at the battle of mewni is a good idea.

I can't source this, but I remember hearing that the first few episodes of Star VS had veteran writers to do ghost writing/script punch up because Nefcy was new to showrunning. The first episodes were also animated by Mercury, who were very good at snappy toonboom animation that benefited action and visual comedy, but Disney moved them onto Lion Guard.
I too was sold by those early episodes (and just coming off the high of Gravity Falls), and what came later felt very much like bait and switch. There was still stuff to like, but the last season made the entire show irredeemable. There are plenty of bad shows out there, but Star VS is the first time a show made me feel that the writers are truly bad people with twisted moral compasses.

What happened to Star vs. threads on Zig Forums? They used to be so lively. The replies would often go past the bump limit. Did the community just die after Season 4? Did they move to somewhere else like /trash/? Man, I miss the good old days.

Ghostwriting in animation? Is that even a thing?

Copypaste is fun but fuck Between Friends. Goddamn CP masquerading as something sweet.

I liked the show when it was about an alien princess that did not get Earth stuff at all.

The weird fantasyland teen drama of season 3 and 4 was not interesting to me at all.

True talent goes uncredited in animation all the time, user

You would think that Mewni would be this grand and fun place. But holy fuck, it was boring as shit.

The move to trash during the season 3 hiatus killed the hype. Now only refugees from 8*1chan's cuckquean board browse these threads

It really feels like they were pressured into making it the next Gravity Falls. Not sure if it was an executive or Nefcy but the soul evaporated shortly after. It was planned up to Battle for Mewni and it really shows.

>Still need to watch the third season (Or whatever was the season after the queen gets unfrozen)
Season one was pure comfy, the sort of show I wanted to see as a kid. You got a ADHD driven protag doing all sort of wacky magic shit and a shitty villain doing it for the hell of being taken seriously. It was a nice balance of what the fuck is going on and fight scenes.

Season two was fine, it settles down that Star isn't as retarded as she ought to be and the characters actually grows up. However it's gets noticeable quickly that they go on a different route while trying to be more serious for what it shouldn't be.

Another thing that fucks the show over is how restrictive they made themselves on certain aspect like time being set in stone. Time bullshit can create a ton of fun episodes and would have majorly benefit the plot instead of giving it a dull, linear feeling. Focusing on the drama was also a bad idea as they lost focus on the real meat of the show

Between Friends is great and a time capsule of better times

I personally enjoyed the serialisation of the show, and season two struck the perfect balance between that and wackiness, but I can understand why you'd be disappointed in the direction it went. Going from a silly action-comedy to GoT-esque drama is a pretty jarring transition.

>time being set in stone. Time bullshit can create a ton of fun episodes and would have majorly benefit the plot instead of giving it a dull, linear feeling

Just wondering, what do you mean by this? Examples?

>but Star VS is the first time a show made me feel that the writers are truly bad people with twisted moral compasses.
No, they're just Californian. To help the "unprivileged," no price is too heavy to pay.

>Between Friends
>CP
Go back to working on your dyke knight show, Sabrina.

The setting of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts seems more like what Mewni should have been like.
>An enclave of Mew/humans that is a bastion of relative normalcy in a sea of hostile flora and fauna
>The local monsters that are intelligent enough to speak despise their human neighbors and even a friendly human is met with caution or outright hostility (although it's not impossible to win them over.)
>A local warlord is rallying the monsters of the land into an army to finally put a yoke on the hated humans
>The protag has to stop this warlord, while attempting to befriend the various enemies she meets along the way (and not always succeeding.)

I didn't like how easily Star earned the monsters trust. Like in Starfari, Star just runs into a monster village and even though she spent almost her entire life beating up these hapless creatures just for fun, they weren't the least bit angry or scared to see her.

I put the blame on whoever decided to put this character on the show.
It's a cool character, i'll give you that, but at the same time it kinda set up the barrier way too high to what the show was intended to be. A wacky show about a magical girl from another dimension having episodic adventures with his human friend.

Is she sucking a frozen turd?

Killing him off in BfM is a total mistake
