That seems to ultimately be the takeaway from this storyline, that this is another turning point in Star Butterfly’s growth as a character, on her way to one day becoming Mewni’s next queen. Unlike Moon however, Star lacks the proper knowledge to do what she did, and has to make a major decision…on her own. What is also notable, is a subtle bit of character-growth that almost whizzes under the eye of the average viewer, when Star attempts to repeat something we saw her mother do earlier in the season. What has been most notable about the episodes Divide and Conquer, is that Star is unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the past (unlike her mother, she is not willing to utilize Eclipsa’s magic to try and stop Meteora). Her mother was a very powerful and wise figure…and now, it seems that Star is on her own, having to make some very grown-up decisions.
Just like that story, Star is looking for answers on how to deal with a dire situation. He also surprisingly, comes front-and-center for a bit of this episode, making me wish that the writers could have given him a bit more to do overall regarding these last two episodes.Īt the beginning of the previous episode, there was a hint that Star is almost in the same position as her mother was, in the earlier Season 3 story, Moon the Undaunted. However, this episode makes it seem like Tom has been working on getting over his inner, emotional turmoil. Several episodes ago, there was an altercation between Marco and Tom (when Tom forgot Star’s birthday), and I almost expected a major fight to break out between the two of them before the end of the season.
For much of this season, when it’s comes to charging into battle or standing up for the rights of monsters, Tom has been mostly silent…except on a few, special occasions. One surprise to me during the scenes with Marco and the others, was in regards to Tom trying to re-energize their group after the events at the end of the last episode. Meanwhile, Marco, Tom, and several of their friends, are still attempting to slow down Meteora. We have Star off in the Realm of Magic, trying to bring her mother home. From the start of the episode, it feels like the first half of Conquer, is repeating several things that we saw during the last half of the previous episode.
