>>106374841Here's some common criticisms:
1. Too many episodes focused on shipping. In the first week of new episodes after Battle for Mewni alone, you've got Scent of a Hoodie, Club Snubbed, Demoncism, Sophomore Slump, and arguably the squire episodes. And it doesn't end there. S1 and S2 not only had much fewer but balanced the ship content with other stuff (ex. Bon Bon isn't just Star getting cucked, but Ludo stealing her spellbook). Pretty much all of these are like pure shipping
2. A lot of time spent on minor characters we'll never see again, so that even important episodes feel like filler (ex. monster expert in Starfari)
3. Retard Glossaryck was a waste of the character. It wasn't a huge complaint at the time but no one's praising it either
4. Tom alternates between being a terrible boyfriend and incredibly nice and self-sacrificing. He's basically whatever to make whatever episode plot work
5. I think Eclipsa's shit, but many don't. But even many of those that don't were disappointed that she was completely innocent and good and that all the hype around her turned out to be misdirection
6. Star made Marco her squire and treated him like her slave. The entire concept just shits on how they felt like equals in the previous seasons. It doesn't seem to have carried over to S4 so far, so here's hoping
7. Heinous is a shit villain. The worst shit. Anons got their hopes up for her not to be shit in Skooled when they somehow came up with an actually great design for her for a single episode, but then lol she's just a giant monster who kills everyone but also wants mommy and now she's a baby, happy ending
8. The monster plotline barely shows actual monsters, and when it does it focuses on characters like Tom who were never defined as monsters before. It all just feels half-assed and weak
9. So much shit happens offscreen or just isn't connected well, enough to make a list of its own, but somehow they also had time for filler. In S2 much less was offscreened
