>>87664638I do think so, yes. Given that almost the entire series has been about the growth of their relationship (platonic or otherwise), I find it very hard to imagine Jackie, a character who has even less character development than Oskar, Janna, etc, being the endgame to Marco's relationship status. Would that really be narratively satisfying? If Marco just got with his crush and he and Star continued their lives as usual?
Besides their genuine chemistry, they've been teasing romance between them for a long time. The resolution to BMB, to Star's canonical crush, will be "nvm, I guess we're just good friends that got soul bonded"? Doubt it. That's not to say a platonic, "non-cliched" endgame could never have worked. But I don't think that's what this series has been building towards thus far.
