Can we all agree that's Eclipsa frozen in the crystal, there?

The previews are definitely making my hopes of a Marco-light season seem less likely.

I mean he is the deuteragonist, it would be weird if he didn't show up much.

There just doesn't seem to be much to him, though. Narratively, Marco functions as a big bag of reaction gifs. You could make a better case for Ludo as second protagonist.

From having just binged the whole show (minus a couple of season 1's I missed somehow, have to fix that) there are twin rails that this show runs on, and they are the voice performances of Eden Sher and Alan Tudyk. It's not that Adam McArthur's work as Marco isn't perfectly competent, it's just that it seems by comparison... like an ordinary cartoon character.

Are two of them conjoined?

We're spoilering previews?

I thought it was two tadpoles in one egg, but apparently they're conjoined

Since DXD has elected not to show the Battle for Mewni episodes in order, I guess I'm waiting on a streaming service eventually getting around to it.

Every scene not featuring Eclipsa feels like treading water.

Eclipsa's going to turn out to be the heavy because Star went to bat for her immediately.

I already want to see more of Higgs and her unfortunate situation.

Eclipsa continues to steal the show.

She pretty much skates everywhere. That was established before.

She has a brand to maintain, after all.

It's almost impressive how Eclipsa manages to steal every goddamn scene she's in.

It's the voice.

It's fairly clear at this point that Marco only hung out with Kelly so he would have an excuse not to hang out with Star when Tom's around.

They're both rebound relationships. I think we haven't seen the last of Tad, either.

I'd like to suppose that the next season will be a nuanced take on Star helping Eclipsa reform Mewni, but the series isn't titled Star vs. the Forces of Entrenched Culture.

I wouldn't mind them dropping a lot of the Earth stuff as long as Janna sticks around somehow. Season 3 had to handwave her into episodes a few times to get her to appear so I'd like if maybe there was a more stable way for the Earth characters to visit or if she pulls a Marco and just goes adventuring.

Also I think Ludo's 'problem' is that he swings wildly between childish and unfunnily pathetic and genuinely unsettling and competent a lot. I don't really know if I like him too much as a character but I do want more of him.

As long as we get more of Ludo as Heath Ledger's Joker, I can put up with a lot.

It's good to hear that Janna still exists.

It's easy to dismiss the idea of a hereditary monarchy when the inheritance doesn't provide magic powers that keep the state viable.

Except Festivia and her descendants prove that magic powers exist outside of the Butterfly line.

But not everywhere, or Mewni would be hip-deep in them. Wouldn't they?

I do get the impression that if the High Magical commission continues to be a thing (it's basically down to two members now and has been shown to be a lovely institution even if some of the individuals are well-meaning) then Star is a shoo-in for joining it, given she's probably the most powerful general magic user on Mewni now.

I really can't see how this goes any other way.
