>>94251539>is the best at magic since evil magical genius ancestorShe's not "the best," she has the most potential.
Even if her powerlevel is higher than her mother's, she's almost completely unskilled and just feels her way through everything.
>never has to work at spellsStar not working enough at her spells almost gets her recalled to Mewni and her lack of skill/control has completely screwed her over many times. Most notably in "Bon Bon", where she loses control of a spell and it almost kills her instead of Ludo, which directly causes Toffee's total victory over the course of the rest of the season.
More importantly she's learning her lesson and trying to get better. After she fails to perform a simple levitation spell in "Baby" because she never learned the technique and her nerves got the better of her, we see in the very next episode that she's practicing levitation on her own and has perfected it later in the season.
>but can do complex magic that is above her motherIs every hero who's more talented than their parents were a "mary sue"?
Star is capable of great feats of magic but again, because she's undisciplined, she cannot do them reliably at all.
It's strange to complain about this in a show like Star Vs which is increasingly more of a drama than a show about powerlevels or fighting.
The biggest consequence of Star's power is that she's often overconfident which leads to her getting herself in over her head.
>is a complete dick to her parents and breaks the rules they give her, but they really don't do any kind of punishment until they've got no other choice because it's too dangerous for herWhat is this even saying?
Star is a teenager who doesn't always listen to her parents.
Again, this is an area where she's improving. She's asked her mother's advice several times now and can recognize when a problem is too big for her to handle alone.
Moon and River are people too. They are not always right and have their own serious flaws.
Is that bad writing?
