Star vs The Forces Of Evil: SEASON TWO HAS STARTED!!

I like how all the summon creatures seem to actually care about each other, and also how one of the big buff unicorns is a lady unicorn.

 

Me: Awwww, a Halloween episode! Those are always my favorites. They're either really spooky or a lot of fun, or both! I'm sure Star's will just be a fun, cute time; they're all about setting you up for something dramatic and then hilariously subverting it before it gets--

Me: D:

Also, god dammit, there I was, being too old and mature for stfoe shipping, and then it punched me in the gut with Friends and Friendship and now I'm really hankering for Star and Marco and Tom to just all being hanging out having a good time together because hooray for found friendship dynamics akllkerklgtkjhhfnrrr

 

New episodes!

Spoiler

The spell beings getting mutated gets a whole lot worse now we know they're sentient... were they like that inside the wand or the act of casting the spell mutating them?
NO DO NOT GO INTO THE BLEACH THAT IS BAD FOR YOU
the Undaunted? That's an interesting title.
....wow rude. Stimming and fidgeting doesn't mean you're not paying attention.
Wellp. This is going swimmingly.
Did the school always have automatic doors...
....well that DEFINITELY doesn't belong...
I wonder if the wand is hanging onto memories of previous users? Or did Star meet Chauncey?
Also the green fog is interesting. All this stuff is things that Star has memories of so she should be -
UH.
THAT'S HORRIFYING and also Star DON'T TRUST ANYTHING, SERIOUSLY,
it's called a TAPESTRY star.
WHOAH
oh. fuck. hell. NO THAT IS SUPER NOT SAFE DISPOSAL METHOD
Marco can you not order pizza to be delivered...
Night life? It's the MIDDLE OF THE DAY in a tiny town.

Aww, poor Marco. Seriously that guy way overreacting.
oh god that is so unsanitary it's going to taste awful

 

New episode!

Spoiler

Ooh, is that the sigil for Eclipsa? I hope she's not actually pure evil. I mean, deciding to take the throne, then falling in love with a monster and running away (and taking the wand with her?) Maybe she's cool!
Anyways it's got her spade over an eclipse marking so.
....oh that's kind of horrifying.
Star no haven't you learned this lesson before. Like, last episode?
The goat and the fire girl are cute!
is that
MOON
i don't think 'uh no' is a riddle
WOW OK
...marco are you cursed
...yeah i'm bailing out of this episode.

 

NEW EPISODES!

Spoiler

Jackie this might not be the best time....
awww Star...wait her magic is still purple
:D
awwwwww that's really sad....
awww poor buff frog.
Yvgeny everyone should bring some backup swords. they're useful
wow that is some coordinated stuff there Star
but you miiiight be in the wrong spot?
awwwwwww ALTERNATIVE monsters
i mean it's a useful spell to know. but worrying.
pffff
YOU DID THE THING! good job!
oh dear. this can only end well
star grab for the book not Glossaryck
STAR YOU'RE GONNA LOSE THAT HAND
well i guess we're not in adventure time so her hand is fine
the rebel princess who FIGHTS YOU GUYS FOR FUN? well ok.
poor star. someone hug her.
.....so there's a pen in there too? and she needs to write down spells for them to work with the wand?

Spoiler

...wow that's a transition, huh.
dangit star you just broke Marco's present.
i am immediately suspicious
did he just eat his soul.
wait is that Weird Al
god dammit not another 'why don't you LISTEN TO EACH OTHER' episode
god dammit not THIS AGAIN. just say 'he did a trick, then light came out of Marco's face, his hat got taller, and Marco started crying' or something!
YEAH BECAUSE SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENS.
ok fuck this. seriously Star was in the right. There's ABSOLUTELY something wrong with EATING PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS WITHOUT THEM KNOWING. And Star was RIGHT to tell them!

 

WE HAVE A RETURN DATE

JULY. 15.

Spoiler: teaser trailer

Spoiler: thoughts on the video

SO THAT'S BABY MOON RIGHT. THAT'S HER WAND SHAPE. THAT SOUNDS SORT OF LIKE HER VOICE. THAT LOOKS LIKE HER ARMOR'S SHOULDERS.

I MEAN I KNOW WE HAD 'THE DARKEST SPELL OF MOON THE UNDAUNTED' BUT DID SHE ACTUALLY SELL HER SOUL TO TAKE DOWN TOFFEE THE FIRST TIME. ARE WE GETTING A PRINCESS MOON FLASHBACK EPISODE.

eta: and it's a TWO HOUR TV MOVIE SPECIAL WOW.

 

OH MAN I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

 

Spoiler: Thoughts on Trailer

I thought it was teenaged Eclipsa!

EDIT: The IMAGE CLIP is definitely Moon tho, there's a diamond on the cheek.

 

Spoiler

That is a possibility! but I think the wand in the trailer looks like Moon's wand (when we see it in episode 1)


see?

...and technically the last pic cuts off right before it pans up above the halfway point of the cheek mark - so it COULD be a diamond or a heart. However the armor is definitely Moon's.

The chant might be young Eclipsa, though!

 

I'm finally catching up, after far too long a time being stuck on Episode, like, 12 or something. HOLY SHIT I missed this show.

Spoiler

THE HINTS AT THE BACKSTORIES WITH TOFFEE AND MOON, ECLIPSA, AND OF COURSE THE MYSTERY OF THE MAGIC FRITZ

 

We have a new intro for s3!

 

YES!!
Looks awesome, albeit desynced lol
I love it.

 

i think it might be desynced 'cause the season 3 theme song is not the same as the original svtfoe theme song and they don't want to reveal it yet and thus the animation wasn't created for the music we are seeing it set to.

 

ooh! Good thought! I thought it was just the Youtube video, which tends to do that sometimes.

 

SEASON THREE IS OUT

Live reactions!

Spoiler: Episode 1-2

Shiny new theme song! With all our new friends!
Though if this is a whole season then I guess Ludo isn't gonna be defeated this movie? If that Opening is for the whole season.
awww marco. bless you laserpuppy.
BARKO DIAZ
oh marco :(
wait was that
hooray for spying spells
aaaand she stole his sweater. which smells like teen boy.
oh my god. just. balloons.
oh dear. wait.
Ludo's finger got tossed in Star's closet. Which is now.. magically evaporated?
Star you've beaten up monsters without magic before.
ok but that wasn't really Star's fault...
i think Moon needs more coffee.
oh hell.
Moon the situation won't change in any way that helps you.
OHKAY WELL THEN
'like he won't find you carrying his finger around' GOOD POINT
oh yeah Star travelled back in time and met Moon..
oh my... Star.
ECLIPSA ok then
FLASHBACK TIME
poor baby moon.
wait Mina used to be her General?
a peace treaty... that could've changed everything, but.
Baby River!
awww River.
Glossaryck... I guess he mourns every Queen.
I love Moon.
you REALLY probably can't
hiiii Eclipsa
WELL that's not great
i hope Eclipsa is sympathetic. She fell in love with a monster, right?
and Moon's mother would've still been Eclipsa's granddaughter or however many generations.
'are you sure that's what you want' huh.
her freedom seems entirely reasonable.
oh Moon. Aim it at his heart - and she missed... and she can't perform it now, and Star can't learn it without a deal.
well this sure is a power play.
Hiiii Toffee. oh god he's got Butterfly family skulls.
also that was a REALLY sharp coloring transition.
The darkest spell of Moon the Undaunted...
except. that was a one-shot.
new song! very Sailor Moon.

Spoiler: Episode 3-4

Oh dear. Well that's not Toffee...
and Ludo has NO IDEA.
soo... is it Toffee's book officially now.
well shit.
this isn't even necessarily a hallucination....
oh ok.
oh fuck
oh no.

oh god this is a mood swing.
river: moon is gone so i cut the sleeves off all my shirts
courtier: why
river: she's like 90% of my impulse control
YEAH THANK YOU
Marco had dimensional scissors i don't know why star didn't figure he could visit her in Mewni.
oh. dear.
aren't monsters an underclass... who LOST against the mewmans
awwww monster. poor giant monster. just trying to be polite.
oh fuck

Spoiler: 5-6

ohhhhno.
oh boy. so that sludge is definitely tied to Toffee.
and yet it doesn't reset to her design
"LET'S GO KILL HIM" pff star ilu
YVGENY!
awww that's sweet.
And she remembered his full name!
moon don't be racist
awww poor Yvgeny
is moon going to learn that monsters are people?
well gee it's almost like people who have been systemically oppressed might not be super hype about Mewmans.
THANKS YVGENY
yeah so marco knows what hard vacuum is while River doesn't
you ate plain butter? whyyy
whoooose handkerchief chain is that
pffff
doesn't marco still have dimensional scissors.
iiiit'll get sstuck on his head

oh god the flags are even shaped like his hand.
and Marco has a better-made rat costume
awww kiddos
i think the easiest way is to kill him...

wow look how straightforward things are when you just tell him.
oh god the whispering spell.
thank you yvgeny

UPGRADE

this is INCREDIBLY sailor moon
oh god she's gonna blow him the fuck up
holy shit
....and he's. still alive of course.
GROUP HUG
oh GOD FUCK
isn't. he. immortal.
yeah Eclipsa's going to want her due.
Toffee are you sure....
IT'S THE EAGLES. THE YOUTH CHOIR HAS RETURNED WITH THE EAGLES
oh dear. so. Toffee dying fulfills the contract even if it wasn't Moon? intriguing.

 

@KarrinBlue: I know, right?

 

I don't know what to say except that I'm screaming that was
good

 

Spoiler: one thought

I looked at the new, season 3 wand compared to the last two wand designs, and....
the first two have crowns; the new one has little devil horns.
the first two have a butterfly below the wand....top; the new one has a heart, same as the one on Star's cheeks.
the first two have a heart on the very end of the wand; the new one has a diamond-ish shaped jewel on the very end.
like, the first two were much more similar in design to each other than this third one--I feel like it's....significant of Star and how she's kind of....coming into her own?

also, all the transformations Star's wand has undergone, I mean, I imagine that the way all of them have happened is a bit....unusual, but it makes me wonder if the other queens before her had their wands go through different....appearances, as they were growing up.

 

Spoiler: wait

it looks like Moon....deliberately aimed the spell at his finger, instead of his heart. like, when Toffee steps up, he's holding up his hand--and she takes aim and hits his finger. why?

 

Spoiler

Trying to cheat her way out of her contract, maybe? If toffee dies, eclipsa would be freed, so she deliberately didn't kill him? It would only work if she already thought the army would scatter even if Toffee wasn't dead.
