Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Starcrushed (2017)
Just Wow...Best Cartoon Season Finale I've Ever Seen
This season 2 of Star Vs the Forces of Evil has been more clinical and more intense. from silly adventure in season 1, now it's getting more story-arc format, more serious adventure, more awkward thing and more shipping (?).
this episode take place after "Face the Music", when Star and Marco now are avoiding each other awkwardly after Ruberiot revealed Star's crush to Marco in Song's day. in other plot, the Magic Commissions are trying to find Glossaryk and the spell book when they are encountering Ludo.
this episode was speechless, tbh. I really love all the aspects written in this episodes. the awkward teen relationship was written well, the fight of Toffee vs Moon was very intense and epic, Lekmet's and Star sacrifices was very emotional, and the decision to put cliffhanger and silence outro was genius. very genius. I honestly still shook with this, especially the ending when Star had to leave Earth for Mewnies, leaving goodbye's words " I do have a crush on you", to Marco. it really shook everyone, including the fandom.
honestly, when we talks about best cartoon season finale, we would discuss about Sozin's Comet, Weirmageddon, or some titles they've known, but this is no joke, and should be on the discussion. really, people, watch this episodes ( for better feel, watch Face the Music before Starcrushed ) and you will try not to cry ( or worse, try to be not frantic)
Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Bon Bon the Birthday Clown (2016)
Really teasing episode. Looking forward for the aftermath
Since the very first episode of SVTFOE, Daron Nefcy has drawn the relationship between Star and Marco as a best friend. As season 2 went trough, the relationship between them got stronger and developed, and in episode "Sleepover", we got a clue that Star actually had a crush on Marco.
"Bon Bon the Birthday Clown" unfolded as Marco finally got along with Jackie to the dance party after troubled for sometime (actually she asked Marco to the dance, not him) and Star, with Janna resurrected the dead clown after a decade. At first Star was really happy that he finally get together with his crush, but after she saw Jackie, with her sea foam dress and Marco, with his suit, gazed together, she felt ignored and anxious.
As the time past, her anxious became worse, as she distracted by her thought about Jackie and Marco, and eventually used the dark magic called "All Seeing-eye" to spy them. Witnessed how Jackie and Marco really enjoyed their moment together, she became envy and released a evil blast that boomed the skateboard's wheel . by the time she realized the event she had created, the "clown" Ludo existed with his minions and attacked Janna and Star with his own wand. while she beat his minions and got ready to suck Ludo into Black hole spell, Jackie and Marco came to make Star jealous and put herself into danger by unintentionally blast a green hole that would suck her. Marco let Star's spell book and Glossaryk to be stolen by Ludo just to save Star from being sucked.
This episode is really solid in every aspect. I love how Daron developing the relationship between Star and Marco slow but steady, not getting rushed to make them shipped, and creating the conflict to get more teasing. I love how the continuity of the previous episode affect this episode very well ( like the Blood Moon that made Marco thinking about Star and interfered the first kiss, or the Ludo's successful revenge to Star after his long journey before the battle). I also love the plot got unexpected twist, like we never knew Ludo would come and collide with Star and eventually steal the spell book. and I love how this episode will affect the upcoming episodes and tease the fans before new episodes arrived in February, including the relationship of Star and Marco.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes, and this tease me well
