Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    You’re gonna think I’m weird, but star vs the forces of evil. It’s a trip. It’s so creative and different. Watched it with my youngest and my grandson.

        Yeah, same! The monsters weren’t one dimensional, or typical bad guys, they had depth and character, backstories and character growth, they weren’t blunt instruments who were that typical or usual representation of being just bad. Some monsters were redeemable, some weren’t. In a magical dimension where anything can and does exist. It touches on inclusivity. I hugely enjoyed the concepts and life dilemmas they broached. And the way they gave deep concepts a light hearted view, but still explored it fully. Gave the character growth so much depth. You see so much character growth throughout the seasons. I could go on. Brilliant show, even though it is mostly kid aimed, kinda.

          Yeah, Star’s initial impression was mostly “empty air-headed princess living her life abroad”, but watching her wise up to the actions of her kingdom, develop a sense of justice, and mature with it really was a level of growth I wasn’t quite expecting fomr a kids show
