>>119032945Season 3 was when everything went to shit, it simply reached unseen levels of shit during 4.
>>119035772It makes even less sense considering everyone has good fucking reasons to not trust Eclispa. Her dark magic is legitimately horrifying and violates basic human rights, to the point where even Globgor himself is scared of her. Star got mindraped, controlled into telling Eclipsa where to get the book of spells, AND had her mind swapped because she was in Eclipsa's way. All for Star to immediately forgive her and act like nothing happened.
A smarter show would have Star freak the fuck out and try to take the throne back. An even smarter one would've flipped that concept on its head, and make it clear that Eclipsa never stopped controlling Star. The fact that neither happened is proof the show was beyond saving at that point.
