So, I’m noticing a lot of people seem to compare Star and Marco to Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable

I mean, I guess you can kind of see it, if you like, squint or something, but these two pairings aren’t really one to one. I mean on one hand, Star’s athletic and headstrong like Kim.

But she’s also silly and naive, which I would say is more in line with Ron.

(And their both Blonde, so theres that)

Meanwhile Marco is a bit more level headed, making him more similar to Kim.

But the his lovable awkwardness (though admittedly, both of these characters are dorks) is something he shares with Ron.

Honestly, I think a better comparison would actually be Steven and Connie. I mean, Steven and Star are both subversions of the Magical Girl trope with mile long silly streaks, who can still pull of serious moments when the time comes.

And Marco and Connie are both mostly normal human characters who keep the magical girl character (magical boy?) from being completely alienated from the normal world. Both also have character arcs where they go from never wanting (or needing) to take risks to risking life and limb to join in on the adventure.
