Was Janna poor in the show? I ask because I honestly don't know and it seems like if she can't afford the cost of a greyhound bus ticket to another king's territory then my read on the situation must have been off.
As to Star and Marco, again Rally points for insurgents, but sure you can call geopolitical concerns half assed if you want.
As for the genocide, again I can only go off the wiki and I didn't see anything about killing all Humans on Toffee's page. If that was missed then I apologize for missing it.
Again, I get why Toffee wants Star dead.
What I don't think is that Toffee has a
right to kill Star, or even a right to try. Lots of people have a vested interest in causing another person's death; most of them would be wrong to act on that interest.
After all, the same argument for killing Star could be (and maybe IS being) used by Toffee to justify seeking the eventual destruction of the Earth. The Mewman population that committed genocides against the natives of Mewni
came from Earth. Toffee could quite understandably, but not
correctly, desire that Earth be devastated to avenge his people and to ensure that no more waves of invading humans came to his dimension. But even if it were understandable and sympathetic that he felt that way... humanity would still have a right to defend itself.
I agree unfortunately. Fusion just isn't a priority when we have Flubber generators at some point in our future.
Eh. Fusion may turn out to have real advantages and in some ways be preferable to flubber power, and the PR benefits are substantial.
It's not that I don't want fusion power. It's that I want to take advantage of Shere Khan's prior work on the subject, which means diplomatic outreach to him would be useful.
not just the Slavs but the Irish to my first"white" ancestors who brought to America in Chains and stayed in Chains till the Civil War so yeah I have plenty of justification to be pissed at people who make the claim that I "benefit" from institutional racism
Anti-Irish racism in America is complicated because the same fuckers who were perpetrating it in the 19th century retconned Irishmen in as "fellow white people" in the early 20th century in an attempt to present a unified front of racism against, for example, Italians, Chinese, and Russian Jews.
Or... hear me out here. We get Temujin a dragon as a mount.
If he finds a silver-haired princess after that, we are
definitely making sure to keep some topical antibiotic ointment on hand, though, OK?
I liked the idea of giving them to Vanessa. It'll make her safer, potentially make her a Princess (so bonding with CJ) and if she has it as protection we might be able to send her into more dubious situations.
Princess Coffee Java
already thinks Vanessa is a princess. Nobody else does, but then Vanessa herself doesn't either, so that won't matter.
And Vanessa already has a teleport-away-inator, which is pretty much strictly superior to a pair of magical wings for ability to escape a bad situation.
From the sound of it, Toffee may be using Kalabar as a proxy and source of some extra minions who (at least in Kalabar's own narrative, whose accuracy I cannot comment on) been dispossessed of ownership of Earth the same way the "monsters" were dispossessed of Mewni.
This could mean anything from "Toffee is cynically using Kalabar and his followers as foot soldiers and has no intention of ever helping them control Earth" to "Toffee has every intention of enabling Kalabar and his followers to kill as many humans as possible and carve out a territory for themselves."
He doesn't know we were responsible for that. We beat his roll.
We didn't beat his offer by very
much, and Xanatos can reasonably deduce our responsibility from the things he knows happened. He may not
know exactly what our role was in the Sands heist, but he can reasonably assume we were involved and played a significant role.
