Star vs. the Forces of Evil

At first when I heard about Star vs The Forces of Evil, my original reaction was that it was going to be one of "those" kinds of shows that would just be childish and stupid. When I started watching it, I did like the animation and I gradually started liking the art style. The content seemed alright and the characters gave off what kind of people they were...but as you continue watching, it becomes a lot more than just some silly show.

What really hooked me were the last few episodes of the final seasons, where things took a rather dark tone and an actual story was being made. Characters begin to develop and become ultimately likable. Even today, it's still a show that has its childish gimmicks, but it helps balance that out with episodes taking a serious tone and actual story progression.

Overall, it's not the best show, but it is definitely one to get invested in if you are interested.

I only took up this cartoon recently, but now that I've seen it, I honestly think Star vs. the Forces of Evil is the most underrated cartoon Disney has ever released. It has an amazing cast of characters, a great balance between lighthearted and serious moments, and the longer the plot goes on, the better it gets. Since the show changed drastically over its lifespan, I feel it appropriate to review each season.

Season 1: 8/10-When I watched the first season, I was in love almost immediately. Technically, the plot isn't that present in this season, being more episodic than having episodes build on each other, but I was so enthralled by the lovable characters the show had to offer that I didn't even care. Even then, the plot they did have-both in isolated episodes and overall-was really good. If you're looking for a fun time, this season will provide it.

Season 2: 9/10-This is when the show starts transitioning towards plot focus. For the most part, it retains its episodic format, but the connections between episodes become stronger as it goes on. It also sets the stage for many of the events in the upcoming seasons, so this season is essential to anyone who wants to tackle the whole series.

Season 3: 9.5/10-This may be a controversial decision, but to me, this was the greatest season of the show. It was here that the plot was at its most powerful. Granted, there was a bit of a lull after the Battle of Mewni, but once the plot picks up momentum, it becomes one of the most captivating parts of this show. I'll admit that I didn't like a few of the things the characters did, but those can easily be accepted as mistakes. And even with those mistakes, I still enjoyed each and every one of them. Personally, I love this season, and I recommend it even more than I recommend the other seasons.

Season 4: 7.5/10-I'd be lying if I didn't say this was the weakest season. It wasn't necessarily bad: they just didn't do as much with it as they could have, and I wasn't a big fan of its finale. But what they did give us in this season was sill mostly well done-maybe a bit slow paced at times, but the payoff is generally worth it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this show. Was it perfect? No. Is it still worth watching? Absolutely.

I love watching this show it's one of the best shows Disney has had I hope it continues

This is a TERRIFIC show! You quickly get an idea of what the characters are like after watching only a few episodes, which is great! Daron Nefcy did a GREAT job creating the show, conceiving it, and more! The story for some episodes are a little bland, but the big episodes are far from being bland!

All the characters are likable except for 2 which aren't on the show very much at all. Even THEN, they're not too unlikable. Plus, some people seem to like them.

Season 1 started revealing some incredible things about Star's home world, and Season 2 is filled with even MORE amazing and incredible, HUGE secrets! Season 2 is where everything gets big!

It's not just the writing, animation, concept, and characters that are great. The music is terrific as well, not to mention perfect music is placed at the PERFECT times during the show! You really feel like you have an idea of what the characters are going through and feel like you can really relate to them due to the writing, the music, and the acting together! It's not quite as good as Steven Universe, but I'd definitely suggest checking it out!

Pros: Some great characters (Star, Marco, Eclipsa, Moon, Marco's karate teacher, etc.)

Some great moments and episodes

Pretty good animation (for the most part)

Some strong story and character elements

Cons: Some of the plot-choices are awkward and don't make sense

Plenty of filler episodes

Most of the humor and jokers aren't very funny

Conclusion: Not a bad show. Has lots of flaws, but the great characters, mostly very-good second season, and animation kept me watching till the end. Wouldn't really recommend it due to its numerous flaws and poor episodes.
