Yes. Finally. Someone said it. If I'm honest, I never thought Star truly deserved all the blame, and in that general situation...save for Marco and Meteora, she was actually the least culpable. It was Moon that caused the whole thing to happen, and it was technically Eclipsa's duty to stop it, but she abdicated. I don't think it's fair to say it was "a bad day" for Star at all, as the stakes were definitely beyond her. She did the right thing calling out Glossaryk and everyone. And Glossaryk pretty much goaded her to that decision, a heavy decision that while obviously unnecessary, was probably the only thing a young person in need of a quick fix could do...but he could've offered another solution. What's really bad and unforgivable is how they implicated a baby. Star and the Queens weren't powerful enough, but "dipped down baby" was. Star still made the decision and has to own it,, even though it arguably wasn;t truly hers to make. Moon has to own going along with it because she started the whole and wanted her pwushus dwawtuh wuv back. Eclipsa has to own her apathy. But Meteora was just a baby, and Glossaryk deliberately trained her to that point.

[@birdcar7808]

It’s just wild that the show treats killing magic like a good thing. Because Star is the hero, the show tries to play it up like it was primarily Star’s Star’s decision to kill magic because it was supposed to be apart of her character development involving her becoming more mature and responsible. Ironically, if you actually look what happens, it’s the exact opposite: Star getting rid of magic is, like you say, actually a result of a combination of other people, and not actually her responsibility.

[@DarkMasterofCupcakes]

Honestly, considering Glossaryck acts like Star is right in assuming that her tapestry means she'll never see Marco again and that obviously ended up not being the case, I have to wonder if that was her actual tapestry to begin with? I mean, with how powerful Glossaryck is, I don't doubt that he could show Star a fake tapestry that would convince her to destroy magic. For all we know, Star's actual tapestry showed her perfecting the spell with no name and defeating the Solarians or something. But Glossaryck convinced her she was destined to destroy magic and had no other choice, for no obvious reason. But if I had to guess, knowing him, he basically just did it because he was tired of his job and this was the only way he could actually "quit", so he took it and who cares about the collateral damage?

[@Julayla]

@@DarkMasterofCupcakes If it wasn't her tapestry, then the rip in Star's tapestry from Into the Wand wouldn't have been shown as a continuity nod and would've just been replaced with a blank part of the tapestry.

[@xempororhxppyx]

@@birdcar7808 oh , now i see what they were trying to do , Star was so reliant on magic , so having her destroy it at the end would kinda tie up her character arc , they failed in multiple aspects of that , but i think the biggest one was *how* they made her come to the conclusion of destroying it. They make her have a temper tantrum and say “I hate magic!” over and over again in a whiny voice and then tell glossyrck that she’s gonna destroy magic , and after he tells her that he’ll die , cause he’s made of magic , she only cares that Marco won’t be with her. And even after Marco tells Star that Hekapoo will die cause she’s made of magic , Star still doesn’t care. She knows everyone made of magic will die , but she only cared about the fsct that she wont be able to see her boyfriend that she JUST STARTED DATING , so instead of making her responsible and smart , they make her selfish and stupid. Way to go writers. And another big aspect of how they failed is that they don’t really make her actually come to the conclusion that magic *needs* to be destroyed. It wasn’t hinted in episodes way before season 4 , it was only that 5 minute tantrum that happened to her that made her think “magic , the thing that had been around since the beginning of the universe , needs to be destroyed!!😡😡😡”. -_-

The whole Glossarck saying "Globgor" all season and then suddenly revealing that it was a troll, was some of the worst writing in the show.

[@Nathan-ti9pm]

It would have been better if he was still in the process in coming “back” but was stuck in an infantile feral state until his reset was complete but knew about Globgor coming back so until he was fully back he decided to only say Globgor as the only comprehensible thing to say verbally trusting that someone would recognize the name and be prepared or prevent it until he was whole, than after coming back he could be like “So did you make the necessary preparations to prevent Gobgor’s return? And got any pudding? I’m famished for some good ol’ pudding”

[@Nameless82284]

He was fine the whole thing, he only acted like a dog and only said Globgor because he wanted to. Glossarck said it was his way of warning them but we all know he was just trolling them.

I see it more as further proof of him being an asshole, because he is exactly that and him acting the part is fine

[@ermacmacro7136]

My brain just went "Why did no one question why he was just screaming Globgor?" Especially the ones who remember who the hell Globgor is, they should've especially been wondering why he was yelling this name! I have this sneaking feeling that if they had actually figured out what Glossaryck was saying, he would've dropped the act and explained. But since everyone thought Glossaryck was just fucking brain dead, they just thought it was nonsense until the act finally got too difficult to maintain (When Globgor actually got brought up, and he was so prevalent that it was too hard to just ignore now) that now the act finally dropped. They should've recognized that GLOSSARYCK DOESN'T DO COINCIDENCES!

[@kevinbell5674]

The true villain of Star Vs. was the writer's room.

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

If Glossaryck trully existed since the beggining of time I could totally buy that he grew bored with his existence but the only way to trully end his existence is if he took down all the magic with him but since he cant do this on his own he pretty much manipulated an entire bloodline to do it for him. Naturally this would never happen since disney wouldnt allow the final villain of one of their shows be suicidal, but it's still interesting to think about it like that

I feel like Star Vs. was a broken train that started strong, cruised down the tracks on its own momentum after things started breaking, and then completely broke down and fell apart at the end. Like the creators had all of these ideas and no longer knew how to keep it all together, or what to prioritize with the time they were given.

They made the main villain a judge because they didn't want to say a priest could be evil, didn't change much, still included hellfire and had him preach his religious nonsense. I doubt they turned it down because it's not safe for kids, but rather because they don't like referencing the Christian faith or talking bad about it specifically. I don't understand why including the devil is censorship worthy when we have movies like hunchback, princess and the frog, etc, from Disney that already use a devil like character as a great evil behind the villains. Just name him something other than devil and that's all the censorship you need, it's worked for these movies why not star? Also isn't magic already taboo among Christians faiths?

I would definitely say yes he is as he was the one who gave mewmans magic to begin with and guided them, which lead to them taking over the entire island without any care towards the islands original population. Also the magic high commission, if I remember rightly, are all creations of glossaryck or he at least had a very high standing among them which meant he does have influence over them and their decisions. He allowed them to further the mewmans discrimination towards monsters until it became such a huge grudge between species so as to imprison eclipsa allowing them to replace meteora with festivia. An example of how he went with this would be how he sealed off her side of the book which he knows acts as her diary while also not telling any future princesses the truth. glossaryck also speaks in incredibly stupid cryptic ways to just annoy people such as when he just said globgor over and over and over again while acting like an wild animal when could have literally just said eclipsa was attempting to revive globgor but no he decides to be an ass and make people think he has brain damage. Also he was the one who directed star to destroy magic it was him who gave her the idea and supported her decision to commit a multidimensional genocide because of something they could have easily handled without it. And the biggest point against him in my opinion was that he knew everything the past the present the future he knew all this shit was gonna happen because he is omniscient or at least clairvoyant. He could have stopped all this crap any time he wanted but simply didn't; he knew that the mewmans were going to hurt all the islands natives, he knew there was going to be a war, he knew eclipsa would suffer for crimes she never committed and for being willing to marry a monster, he knew toffee was going to kill moons mother and was going to cause trouble again, he knew meteora was still alive and was going to attempt killing everyone, he knew what the MHC, moon and mina was planning and finally he knew that star was going to commit a genocide and screw over two completely different worlds by mish mashing them together and he did nothing. Even if you can say he wasn't a villain he is absolutely the most responsible for everything that has occurred in the story.

I highly doubt that he couldn't have figured out a better idea to stop mina then the unironic genocide of magic and life forms that rely on it. Seriously the better idea would be to just go back in time and tell star about Moons plot or if not that then just never give mewmans the wand/magic it's that simple after all it's not magic's fault for existing but the infinite power the wand provides with no checks or balances to it's user.

[@urahara64360]

Glossyrk definitely changed. Though the only thing I can think of for his motives would be extremely dark and kind of nihilistic. He manipulated the destruction of magic because he has grown disappointed in the magical world he had a hand in creating. He started as a person with pure motives and gave the mewmens magic to create a new society and made the MHC to keep the functions of the universe going. The only part I'm a little iffier on is the being bound to the book. I believe he started as a genuine mentor but when he decided he had done enough the Mewmen Queens decided to bind him and that is why he also hates Ronaldo so much they share the same flaw of being susceptible to magic and he hates the reminded. He's always trying to escape his connection to the book but inevitably fails. Until all magic is destroyed.

[@AlashiaTuol]

But if he was disappointed in the magical society he created, why did he create it? He's non-linear; we see him choosing to create and empower the Butterfly monarchs with magic while babysitting Meteora, meaning he full well knew all of the consequences of this action before he made it. He knew everything that led up to the show's current circumstances, and _then_ chose to incite it all by making the wand and giving it to the first Mewmans. It's like he got a preview of what the world would be like if he did this thing, and then he decided after seeing all the death and destruction that he would absolutely do that thing. He could have just... not, and brought about an entirely different timeline without any of the stuff he ultimately encouraged Star to destroy anyways. Without ever having to put a teenager into a position where she thinks genocide is a good solution to clean up the mess, or carelessly allow his own children to die for that goal to be accomplished.

You can even argue it one step further and say that he always intended to return to Eclipsa's side since she was the true queen, and so was biding his time with the others.

[@annieandelsieofarendelle3294]

I think an interesting concept would be Glossaryck needing Star to do a total restart on magic and make her the new personification of magic. This could even cause conflict because Star doesn't want to give up her life to be trapped in an immortal life without her friends. Also, I know this isn't brought up a lot by how are there American settlers in the medieval ages? If Eclipsa is 27th(?)

Glossarick is very strange to me; I think at this point I'm going to say that I think he is the actual physical representation of all magic in one sentient being (like if all of the magic in SVTFoE we're to have a unified mind and will and it were put into one body to represent it all). He's omnipotent and clearly either understands the universe so we'll that he can manipulate everyone over such a long a time to force what he wants into fruition, or -more likely- just sees the future. I think maybe he just felt ultimately like he didn't fit in with the universe at large (or maybe everything in existence became mundane and boring to deal with) and wanted to completely die off for good (ie. All magic in the universe had to be destroyed so he could never come back, or continue existing in an abstract way like when star found him with a boiling pot right before she revived the magic after Toffee rotted it first), but maybe couldn't achieve that on his own because of his very existence as magic itself? Idk he was very moody and 'above it', all the time throughout the show and clearly was either incapable or just never wanted to partake in building genuine relationships (I mean he pretty much laid out his views of friendship after Star lost his book- so I would say he feels that same for all interactions outside himself as well). All in all, he seemed pretty disinterested in alot of things overall and just seemed like he had other things he would rather do than... Be around, so it just kinda fits for me that he wanted to stop existing.

[@tartarusjojo3448]

But I can only see him as the villain of the concept not villain of the history, because he never "acts" like a villain, he never intentionally gets in the way of the protagonist needs, he is more like a "gun/Tool"

[@Nstone53]

Glossaryck was an all-knowing being that was forced to exist by the universe. We don't know how long he existed before the butterflies came about. He just wanted to die and knew the only way to do that was to destroy the magic. Something he couldn't do himself. This would have been way way too dark for Disney to explain to kids so they just left it out. Living forever is a curse, not a blessing. Everything loses meaning when you live forever.

Considering that Keith David voices Glossaryck it wouldn't surprise me if Glossaryck is the secret bad guy. Keith David is a great voice actor where you can't always tell if he plays a good guy or the bad guy. Maybe Disney realized people thought while Keith was in the role people were thinking his character was secretly bad so voice change? However regardless glad Keith got another chance with a character your not unsure of their motives or not with his character in Amphibia

[@moxxiedemongamer3019]

if only the show could have better if Glossaryck was the Main Villain and had better writing and character development

[@thecreatorofthedark]

Personally I don't think he saw all. I think the tears were genuine when he was crying for moons mom cause he didn't know he caused the war. Until he went back in time and did it he didn't realize he was the one that did it. Sort of like how in prisoner of Azkaban Hermione doesn't know xyz until the loop.

[@Julayla]

Well technically, Glossaryck mostly cried because Comet never put down the recipe for his favorite food: Pudding.

[@mfirdanhb]

Nah he's just Total chaotic neutral he always just want "hey want power? Let me help! To almost everyone"

[@cowgremlin]

personally my favorite future seeing character is goosefeather from warrior cats. his novells 'goosefeathers curse' is a rly nice spin because he actively tries to avoid the disasters he sees in visions and gets upset when the future plays out as it does. time is not a linear thing, so when he sees the future and knows whatll happen and gives up on changing it, it all reminds me of the movie arrival. hes also a cranky old doctor and one of the best pre arc 1 medicine cats

[@HobieInTheBox]

11:50 actually fun fact, he doesn't need to do the ritual, that's something he added himself. However, he does need the sand and a big enough room to do the vision, which he mentioned. And just like every gift in the movie, the con is that Bruno became very superstitious and gained anxiety from it. Which to me ia good, bc it adds a condition and weakness to an OP power such as future vision.

[@dragonempress8367]

Glossaryck knew what he was doing. But if we're talking about destroying the multiverse, that answer can be found in the other shows it shares a multiverse with, Gravity Falls, Owl House, Amphibia, Rick and Morty, etc. They seem to be intact.

[@mrmosty5167]

I forgot where I left off of the show but seeing Glossaryck in all of the Queen's tapestries with that creepy stare of his never sat right with me

[@Dance.Mp3]

Great video, I've devolved the opinion that if glossoric saw the future he saw it as this unbending path, where actions and events were always fixed, his madness derived from an inability to alter fate.

[@GamzeenMakara]

Small thing about Bruno, he doesn’t HAVE to do a full ritual but it’s kind of the only way to calm down and focus on his gift enough to have a vision. From what the creator said, Bruno mostly just needs the sand and a large, open space as to not break anything.

[@madcat789]

Maybe Glossaryck, knowing pretty much everything, felt it was time to go. If he's technically immortal, and able to always come back no matter what, then this might be the only way he could've conceived that would've allowed him to finally die permanently.

[@anonymousbrooks8194]

I honestly never actually saw him as a bad guy or good guy. I just saw him as a teacher, someone who is willing to teach their students both hands on and not. He even switched his teaching styles when it came to teach him ludo.

[@orrorsaness5942]

He was a neutral character

[@nicholassims9837]

The Globgore thing doesn't make sense as Glossaric says he's been trying to tell about it for a while but his mannerism doesn't suggest he's trying to tell about a monster lover.

[@sh4d0wfl4re]

Glosseryk was always my least favorite character in the show. I like the idea that the whole show was some aggrandized suicide scheme

[@adrjaco]

I think Glossaryck tried to find the meaning of his existence: magic. He doesn't really care about taking sides, he just wants purpose. The show repeatedly makes the point that magic doesn't really make anything better, it only makers a mess that by the end of the day didn't really make a difference, except for a mess to clean up. He gave the first settlers of Mewni magic, and generations later the people are still peasants growing corn for survival and in war with everyone around themselves. Compare this to the human realm with no magic, I think it really makes it apparent magic made everything worse for everyone. The grand conclusion to Glossarycks experiment was that magic has no purpose.

[@daniele7989]

honestly this whole show was written like garbage after season three's premier. It definitely doesn't deserve a reboot. Even when you read the story through the lense of magic being a metaphor for the institutions and power structures that keep colonisers in power over the indigenous peoples (coloured so to speak by america's even darker still history with slaves), what does that make Glossaryk? proof that something as awful as racism/colonialism/magic is so unstable that it will surely self destruct? thats a terrible message. If he hated what magic would be used for why did he give the wand to those pilgrims? Awful writting

[@crimsonblack9774]

i always thought gloss was created by the first queen or was created by skywind but my personal thoughts are along the lines he's written how the book is but because each he's already having to deal with each queen being to vastly different then the last. go figure he's going to have his favorites which just for instance eclipsa and her mother and the back lash in seen because each queen seems to grow and thats dangerous because look at star gloss sees every single spell that might be the good and the bad and you know the queens rarely listened to him my point is i think the magic in star is so so ancient and whatever created it good or evil bad or good. he sees everything past present and future look at the realm of magic its never explained what the fuck it is or who created it for all we know gloss could predate the queens no queen is the same yeah you might get similarities but the vibes the magic realm gave me was ancient like death in supernatural. something so old it doesn't remember how it came into existence just that it did. and gloss could have been the first creature born out of the magic cause you never really see him use his full power he just does whatever whenever like a eldritch being and thats scary. these are my ramblings of the day no idea if they make sense or not but oh well.

In a way Glossaryck is much like Rose/Pink Diamond from Steven Universe. Both are bad parents who started a traumatic war that lasted thousands of years and caused a great deal of trauma for the heroes. They both started out being fairly likable in their respected series and then absolutely hated at the end. And they both kind of come off as not really caring how their actions affect others.

That is EXSTREAMLY disrespectful to rose quartz

[@Nameless82284]

Rose never made Steven do anything, okay she's not like Glossaryck, she's not omniscient, she didn't know that Homeworld would come back to Earth. She just left her abusive family. Also, her origin story is told backward. I never understood that, Steven says that you can be better and change but Rose can't? She was awful at first but she changed her the better. Rose had to start the war or else Earth was going to be destroyed. And remember that she couldn't just end it, that wasn't her decision, it was the other diamonds. Rose never did anything bad to Steven, she only wanted him to have a happy life. It's not her fault they can't coexist. Glossaryck doesn't care for his children because he doesn't like them. So, they're nothing alike.

[@majormccoy3364]

@@Nameless82284 Well all the problems and issues that Steven had to deal with were Rose's fault. Rose may have saved the Earth from being colonized, but her actions caused other big problems, such as the Diamonds casting that corruption onto the planet corrupting corrupting tons of gems, the Diamonds deciding to use the Earth to nurture the Cluster, abandoning Spinel which drove her insane and made her try to destroy Earth. Rose may have been good, but in some cases she lacked empathy towards other characters and the foresight to how her actions would affect others.

[@Julayla]

And this is why I would rather headcanon this: after the credits sequence, it would have gone the Devilman route with Marco's wounds having blown out of his body, Star (still having one last piece of magic) screaming for Marco and destroying the universe & all conflicts (ala Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon style) and Glossaryck, who did not die when magic was destroyed, is confronted by higher beings other than himself (off screen but voices heard) with Glossaryck punished to relive the timeline over and over again for all eternity with a flash showing the last scene of Star's very first scene play out over again, indicating it's going to happen all over again. At least that ending would've made a lot more sense to me. So between the actual ending and the ending I'd headcanon, I'd rather take the Devilman type ending if I accept the canon ending than just the plain canon ending. But I digress, it's not just Star that was to blame, but everyone else as well as Glossaryck. I mean I get the narrative was trying to insert one "Toffee was right" bit, but most of it got ignored for the "whispering spell" ending. But anyhow, this ending was such a mess. It's no wonder there was a lot of hate going to both Eden and Daron at the time. Just saying, though.

Personally for me; despite Into begin a twisted villain himself or even being close to being "The Discord" of the Star Vs. Of Evil Universe; he's truly Is a neutral through and thorough no matter who he sides or owns him depending who has the Book Of Spell let alone has a humongous tub of chocolate pudding. Ya think he still be his stand alone mentor not having to deal with the madness and weirdness among those around him and yet pretty much used to the sanity Itself and surprise he still didn't end up with Eclipsa let alone Janna who discovered his book to begin with when Marco was trying to cure Star from her mewberty! I honestly don't have too much to say about Glossaryck unless you still wanna talk about the actual Book Of Spell (which some of you already purchased before the show ended that shows some lore and some of the ancestors were like) but either way, rest easy old friend and may your death still be sweet as your pudding (his words not mind or could've said something else If he still wanted to go out with a bang or a limb). Still kinda Ironic that he got revived and reincarnated as a newt only to kill a certain larper girl but no difference a certain Emperor who kill of not just both sisters, but even a witch of a certain girl who looks like a monkey cry before her very eyes even when they finally kissed of the 1st time only to get killed In his cruel clutches.

What's that theory?

[@HeadHunter-mv2ht]

@@STKHub That the Star we started out with was replaced by a magic memory clone in "Into the Wand" and no one realized it. The idea is that after she enters the wand the Star we are following is one of the memory clones, meaning that the real Star was overridden by another memory clone. The evidence for this theory is. . . A. From the moment she wakes up in the wand we see several instance's of other Star's already ahead of her, including one already sledding down the mountain just as this Star wakes up. B. Star receives vital information from one of the memory clones already ahead of her, info she shouldn't of known. C. As stated in the show not even Star would realize if she was replaced by a memory clone.

[@SilverFireworks]

When I was just scoping out fan wikis and TV Tropes for SvtFoE, I was convinced Glossaryk was a villain.

[@jalarasstudios414]

Having only seen the title, just wanted to throw this in. As far as I can tell, Glossaryck never had enough in the series to get a bead on him. The "enigmatic mentor" trait is strongest in the first two seasons. But even there, it's mostly done for a simple lesson of Magic, not actually getting Star to improve overall as a person. Marco pegs it best I think when he openly wonders why he should be upset when Glossaryck gets kidnapped by Ludo. All he really did was occasionally give some instruction, and alternately demand food/be too lazy to help. You can possibly make a case in the Battle for Mewni for it being his overall plan. Then of course, he spends Season 3 running around like a dog, with maybe one or two hints to him helping them before revealing that apparently it was all an act. And as far as I can recall, his screentime hits its nadir in season 4, with the only foreshadowing to the finale being one throwaway line at the beginning about how "maybe Toffee was right." His only other real notable appearance being when he teaches Meteora to dip down. All that to say, there's not enough of him to push him in a definitive character direction, and what we do get is confused or not helpful. Enigmatic but benevolent mentor? He's too selfish, rude, and lazy overall to convince me of that. Suicidal god who is enacting a master plan to kill himself? Again, not enough character aside from being strangely okay with his death. Selfish and uncaring teacher whose bound to a job that has long since become rote and does the bare minimum to teach his students while passing it off as "my methods change by person?" This potentially feels like the best approximation of what his character is, but it's not without flaw. All that said, I had an idea for how the series/a fanfic could've been interesting. Heck, if Disney ever remade the show, this could be interesting. The show starts like normal, but things seem off. Certain characters aren't acting quite as they should and sometimes Star and Marco get flashes of scenes from later seasons. The reveal ultimately being that the universe was destroyed and reset after Star and co. destroyed the Magic at the end of Season 4, but that Glossaryck and the Commission survived. Indeed, they thrived. Glossaryck is revealed as a mad god, who, in a bid to eventually gain the power to defeat his own creator (a vaguely alluded to benevolent higher God), found a way to leach all the power of Magic to himself and his 'children' (the Commission). Therefore, they run the universe with the attitude of it being an experiment, until they ultimately drive or trick someone of Magical Talen into 'destroying' magic which Glossaryck has mad so it funnels all the power of the Magical Realm into himself, increasing his power each time. The reason they hate monsters so much is that there was a prophecy that "Monsters/a monster, would be the undoing of them and their false-reign." And this is why they continuously meddle in the affairs of Mewni to ensure that Monsters are kept as powerless and downtrodden as possible. Another reveal of this universe would be a spin on the "Moon and Toffee used to be friends/lovers." They were in this universe, but the Commission found out and forcibly brainwashed them both to 'get them back on script.' However, Toffee has managed to break out of the brainwashing and seeks out Star for help. The series eventually turning into the heroes vs the Magical High Commission (with potentially a few of the Commission like Lekhmet or Hekapoo becoming more and more uncomfortable and torn between their desire for power and the morals and friendships they've managed to develop). Just an idea I thought was interesting. Hope you enjoyed reading it!

[@alexkumaratunga2834]

I also believe that Star wouldn't have done the deed if it wasn't for Glossaryck making it seem like it was her fate. The problem with the idea of destroying magic (besides the genocide implications) is that the show completely treats it in a one sided manner, when in reality it isn't. While Magic was used to power up the Solarian Warriors (as well as giving them the ability to injure and threaten the Monster of Mewni), it also served as a solution to some parts of, if not, the entire situation. Eclipsa literally could've killed the Solarian Warriors if she used the spell with no name, and magic itself was stated to be a source of healing for injured monsters like Globgor. It didn't seem like Star truly felt like magic was actually the problem; it honestly seems like she randomly thought about the idea because she wasn't really thinking straight at that time. And you can't blame her considering the day she's had. She only believed that her idea was confirmed to be true since Glossaryck made it seem like it was her destiny the whole time.

[@rhettr4923]

I've been thinking about this for awhile my hypothesis is he is a writer & he wanted to die. Think about it he is part of magic & can traverse time so as long as he existed at some point he will always be able to come back, he also can see the future to a degree so I think he wanted a interesting story for himself to partake in & engineered the events to make it happen.

All it takes is creating a situation where she thinks she's helped set Mewni on a better course with Mewman's and monsters being able to live in harmony. And truthfully she had done that.

I'm most of the way through, and I have my own take on this. Now, I'm not saying Glossaryck isn't terrible; he absolutely is. However, I feel like there is a reason for it. You went into this with the idea that Glossy over there can see the future, but what if he knew the events, and also knew they couldn't be altered? Or worse, destroying magic was the best of many terrible outcomes? What if Glossaryck is more like Dr. Manhattan, in that he experiences all moments at once, but dialed down because Star vs. is technically a kids show. Where Dr. Manhattan grew disillusioned with people, as he grew to understand that time had no meaning, what if Glossaryck was similar. He still had his "favorites" but people were... finite to him. Worse, they were basically meaningless. Or, lets consider another option. As a comparison, consider Sans from Undertale. He was aware of the Resets, and knew that, no matter what he did, he was just a passenger along for this terrible ride, over and over again. His actions meant nothing, because they would all be washed away. What if Glossaryck saw the weave of time, but couldn't change it? Locked in a path he already knew, forced to endure every terrible outcome and cursed decision, from start to finish. From the good or bad, sometimes moments like that can kick you hard, even if you know they're coming. And that's why I think Glossy is both so emotionally distant and violently emotional. He is beyond our understanding to a point. His motives are as alien as his powers and psyche, and I wonder if he even truly understands concepts like morality, at the end of the day.
