Why did they waste so much time with this shit pairing?
It would be problematic to have a show that carried on with a functioning permanent relationship.
They had no confidence in their ability to write an actual romance so they had to delay Starco until the very end.
If they actually took a chance and tried to write Starco as a relationship, the show might not have been so bad.
Canonizing a relationship prematurely can kill viewer interest in the relationship. People love the "will they or won't they" and don't care about anything beyond that. That's why so many series only canonize relationships in the final episode, when there's nothing more to show after.
I hate that this is true, it's much better when they develop a couple throughout the series than this shit.
Fuck Tom honestly, The fact they left him to rot in the magic realm served him right, and he wasn't missed.

To set the intended shit pairing, Starco.
Because Daron is a weak showrunner and a weak person.
No wonder Disney and the crew walked all over her.
I heard about the blackmail, but what did Disney do?
There was blackmail? I figured execs meddled with production but where was there blackmail?
pretty much.
There's this conspiracy floating around for a while now.
This is what I thought. They knew as much as us that wether Star and Marco got to be together would be the real stakes of the show's ending.
Because the crew stopped caring about making a fun show and instead focused on shitty drama instead. Cucking marco and making the entire show so miserable for so long made me finally drop it.
Filler.
To make Starco look better
I literally dropped it because of the “will they wont they” bullshit. I hated that the show devolved into an MTV soap. It stopped being fun or light hearted and just became depressing. And if i dropped the show for it then im sure im not the only one too, nefcy must be an idiot to think this way that or she really is too untalented to write a stable relationship.
And it only made Tom looked better than the other two.
At some point, people wanted Starco just so Star and Marco would stop ruining other people's lives.
Based
>"Why did people on a show I'll never work on in an industry I'll never work in not do exactly what I want?"
wew lad
Is this based on fact, or is this one of those things executives cling onto because they're so hidebound?
Uh oh, here comes the animation ass kisser posts
Really? Because the opposite killed viewer interest instead.
I don't think that holds out in the least. I think that's based on viewership trends from old women 70 years ago watching soap operas and generic NBC dramas, still being carried over to today when nobody cares anymore. As if the people that watch shows today want the same shit "Friends" had
I wish I had a proper answer to give, user. I wish I knew. Because the same question has haunted me for over a year now and the provided answer from Nefcy is inadequate or an outright farce. We know it can be interesting because we saw those same interactions purposefully dialed back in the first couple seasons. The formula and the interest were already there for them to use.
To them being romantic means them being OOC retards and limit their ""creativity"".
Watch Aladdin the show theirs plenty to explore and show in a couple being together.
For shipping drama.
The show was written by a woman.
Actually did watch it when I was younger and it was quite enjoyable. And I was honestly hoping for more like it.
Same with Tangled.
But Nefcy's a hack who thinks you can't tell a story where the main couple are already together, so she artificially delayed Starco until the 1st ep of the 3-part finale. But since she'd also done so much already to make Starco the blindingly obvious endgame, she couldn't think of any way to delay it other than to have Tomstar inexplicably stay together for most of 2 seasons (and about a year in-universe) despite their obvious incompatibility.
Tangled is an even better example. Nefcy in that interview said that nobody would watch Star vs if was "Star and Marco get together and they're so happy" or however she put it. Tangled has it firmly established that Rapunzel and Eugene will get married and live happily ever after at some point after the series ends. Which hasn't stopped anybody from watching the show, because the two of them as a couple is a huge part of its appeal.
Nefcy only like stories about autistic assholes being mean to each other. Western women love that shit for some reason.
It was a LAZY way to try a misdirect the viewers
And a terrible one at that.
Agreed. Shows where the main characters get together can absolutely work. If anything, seeing those characters get more moments together and then allow other characters to get together feels great. I would've killed to see characters like Kelly and Janna find others they were interested in by the end of the show.
If you're going to make a huge part of your show about relationships, then at least flesh them out enough that they're satisfying in the end. Stringing people along just to keep them engaged is a winning strategy but it's the only thing your show will be remembered for and that's not good writing.
Janna’s best moments were all hitting on Marco though. Wouldn’t really work if Marco is already with Star, unless Star is into that sort of thing.
