“Really? But it was vegetarian! Ate it too quickly to know if it was chicken or turkey,” he quickly mumbled before resuming his usual boisterous shouting, “but it was fowl alright!” Moon could only sigh in response some things would never change with him, but she supposed that was part of his charm. I guess that lets you learn more about the viewers of the show, based on how they interpret it and what they think and feel about that interpretation. But you can read the right things into it. I just felt the ending was a little incomplete, and that it was too easy to read the wrong things into it. But without that, I still very much enjoyed the show.

Give me a Monster Lives Matter movement at the ending, and then I'm on board. Maybe if they could have tossed in some monster-led organizations working to really change and improve things for everyone. On presenting some plan to keep fighting the forces of evil, because they are still there. Or it might not? I'll need to rewatch the show to form more of an opinion on that But aside from that concern, I think the ending was good, if it just had given a bit more time to presenting how the issue was still going to be worked on. The destruction of all pure magic creatures might be a deep and awful wrong. And Glossaryck and Heckapoo being in favor makes me unclear on what it means to be made of magic. The spells seemed to feel that they should die for the good of Mewni if that was what was needed.

I'm not really sure what to make of all of the magical creatures dying, because I don't really know how to judge that.

It's just such a shame I have so little surviving family on my father's side due to the Holocaust. But it sure is a good thing my world doesn't have magic. With evidence of uneven punishments in schools on the basis of race. With a school system designed to reinforce economic inequality by having funding through local taxes so that wealthy parents get better public schools for their kids. As I sit in the United States, living on stolen land with a system of law enforcement that has repeatedly been shown to be biased. This others the colonialism, bigotry, and attempted genocide and helps the viewer to think, well, I'm so glad we don't have to worry about anything like that. It also makes me kind of annoyed at the show for not having Marco point out any of the ways that Earth has problems similar to the ones Mewni has. To the best of my knowledge, we don't have magic. I don't like this reading, because the harm shown throughout Mewni parallels real problems in our world. The corrupting force of magic had to go, and they will be better off without it, even if some of them remain bigots. It pushed them in bad directions and helped create these bad systems. Although I felt that having Eclipsa, Globgor, and Meteora in charge and actively trying to balance the needs of both Mewmans and monsters and showing that things weren't 100% better, but were on a better path would have been a satisfying ending for me.Īnother interpretation is that magic was a bad influence on their society. So, I have to wonder, what possible ending could work? Maybe this was as good as it could get. I also really appreciated showing it from the point of view of someone raised in that bigotry who learns otherwise, since that will be a good fit for a lot of their audience. And the show did a very good job of exploring some aspects of these issues. There's an inherent difficulty in wanting to express and explore the problems of colonialism and bigotry, while keeping it kid-friendly, and trying to not give it a depressing ending. That could have too many white savior parallels. It would also be awkward if Star, being the main character, fixed anti-monster bigotry. And any solution presented would have the potential problem of making a real world issue seem to have too simple a solution. There's something to be said for this message, because it isn't really fair to expect the creators of the show to actually present a realistic solution to a problem this vast. The general ongoing threat and harm persists, but some people are trying to work on it.

The problem isn't solved in the end, but the immediate threat from the problem is, at least, dealt with. The best you can do is to try to protect those you can as you can. One is that when you have deep-rooted problems of colonialism and bigotry, there is no easy or quick way to fix them. I can interpret the ending in several ways.
