Alright guys, strap in, this is gonna be a long one. I gotta break down the cute little pop-up book.

So, the inhabitants of Mewni (who she called…Mewmans? Like Mewnian humans, I guess?) did not always live there. They came from elsewhere. By boat. I thought Mewni was like a whole dimension but okay.

Also they liked corn. No, but they settled the area, started the agriculture thing, blah blah blah

Then the monsters showed up to take the land back. So…where were the monsters when they got there? Are the monsters the indigenous inhabitants of Mewni? Did the settlers have to fight monsters to get the land in the first place, American-colonialist style? If there was a monster Trail of Tears I will be very upset.

And then yay monarchy because the queen used her power over the lives of the people she ruled

to give herself an advantage in the fight.

I would say something about how Star skipped from this to “And the Mewnians won!”

But honestly that’s kinda what Americans do. “So there were these people and they left England for freedom, but the English kept taxing them even though they moved, so a bunch of guys threw some tea into a harbor! Then we fought and stuff and now we’re free”

And none of that is even touching on the fact that according to this condensed version of events, Mewni didn’t really…gain independence from anything? The monsters weren’t ruling over them, it was just a land dispute.
