My Thoughts on the finale of SvtFoE

Because I have to get it out of me

Good

  • Mariposa and Meteora get to grow up together like Star and Marco promised
  • Past queens of Mewni
  • Solaria accepting Meteora
  • Moon getting to see her mother one last time
  • The merging of dimensions
  • Butterfly form x4
  • Moon and Eclipsa deciding to help
  • Solaria simply glaring at Mina when she begged for help
  • The implication that magic will send everyone to where they belong, then Star and Marco saying they belong together, so the magic merges their worlds
  • The fact that Glossaryck and Hekapoo didn’t give a crap they were gonna die, and Rhombulus and Omni never even knew–CRAP POOR REYNALDO!
  • Janna dying for exactly a minute so Marco could get away

Could have been better:

  • The pacing. Idk what about it I had a problem with but something about it seemed off to me
  • Underwhelming, especially compared to Cornonation. Would have made a pretty good season finale, but for a series finale, I was hoping for more I guess
  • Star and Marco see each other, see their worlds have merged and they can be together…and just stand there and say hi. It just would have been a more satisfying ending if they had kissed or hugged or something. Like even if you were against Starco or just didn’t care for it, you can’t deny they were at least best friends (not to mention they just canonly started a relationship) so they should have done…something besides staring at each other. I was expecting them to kiss, hoping they would hug, and neither happened. Maybe if there was another season I wouldn’t mind this but because it was the finale I’m disappointed with this specific detail.

Overall:

Content of the episode was good (aside from our main teens standing there not hugging or anything. Delivery was not necessarily bad, but a bit underwhelming

I’m seeing people getting upset that Toffee is dead and just….What? Y’all really think Toffee is dead?
From a writers standpoint, it seems pretty obvious to me that he’s not. Between what happened in Storm the Castle (ya know where Toffee “died” but clearly actually didn’t) and his little rant at the end of of The Battle for Mewni about how they “don’t make the plans” and only he “knows how this turns out” it seems clear to me that the writers are foreshadowing that Toffee will be back.
He’s definitely weaker, and it’ll probably be a while before he returns, and when he does it’ll probably be really messed up and after some weird shit with Eclipsa goes down.
But he will be back, he’s not dead.
