It would have been amazing to see the dark trio with Charmcaster, Darkstar, and Albedo who would try to frame the trio for a slew of galactic crimes. They are each unstable in their own rights where Michael is a power hungry creep, Hope is trying to force a connection like Gwen has, Albedo emotionally is still too angry to think like a proper Galvan which causes irregular transformations. It also could demonstrate the level of trust the people of earth truly have with people like Harangue using it to reinforce the lack of faith. It can even get under Ben’s skin about how George was still in a sense right. George argues that he’s been doing this for over a millennium and has gathered almost complete trust that cannot be easily broken, Ben still being a kid only has trust when the world has a laser pointed at it and not with actual public relations. He’s treated like a celebrity but not someone of actual knowledge, experience and a level of authority. I would have traded the dream episode for that just so we can bring back the idea of George before the finale and Ben still struggling with the idea that he may be in over his head despite Vilgax, the Highbreed, Aggregor and more.

i remember finding their episode absolutely fascinating at the time. on the one hand, charmcaster is so emotionally damaged that when this prince charming guy falls right into her lap, she probably *wants* to be in love with him. she wants this to be the perfect love story that takes away her loneliness. but from her history, we know she might well be using him. and darkstar is known as this manipulator, so when charmcaster jumps into his arms he'd probably consider her easy prey - but she's also so much more powerful and impressive than anyone he's ever met and she did save his life, so he may well actually be falling in love with her. the entire episode keeps you wondering whether they're genuinely in love or manipulating the other, from both sides of the relationship. and that dynamic is absolutely fascinating to me. and the best part is that they were both introduced and characterized this way prior to the episode, so it's just like two unrelated parts of the story that naturally connected to each other and fit together perfectly to make this incredibly interesting dynamic. fantastic storytelling overall.

This is also one of my favorite "filler" episodes. I love how Michael is a manipulator through and through here, and it's played completely straight on the abusive boyfriend angle. I love how Charmcaster is genuinely looking for a partner in him. She falls into his trap, and like Gwen says, there's a part of her that knows it. The "nickname used so I don't have to know your real name" is also genius as it shows just how little he cares. It reflects real abusive partners well. Also Kuro, while I can see your point about the arguments being more petty, I also think it serves its purpose as a healthier side look at arguments too well. At the end of the day, Kevin and Gwen love each other, and they show it constantly. Even when they're fighting, it isn't truly to tear each other down. However, Charmcaster clearly is head over heels for Michael, but he couldn't care less about her. He only cares about what she could do for him, which is the insidious side to his compliments. He pretends to lift her up into the stratosphere with these honeyed words so she doesn't see when he's ransacking her home just below the clouds. It's a cover, and fortunately for her, it eventually gets blown. They are clearly the foil relationship. Not every fight means your partner doesn't love you, and not every compliment is a sign that you are being loved. Even their powers (mana manipulation + energy vampirism vs mana manipulate + absorption) are similar for this purpose. It's silly, but it certainly has a narrative purpose, and I think that can't be ignored.

I see where you're coming from when you say that, but I’ve always gotten the impression that both of those episodes were made to get the audience to sympathize with Charmcaster so that we'd be more receptive to the idea of her eventually getting to redeem herself. Sure, you could retroactively justify her characterization in Omniverse by saying that the pain from those two episodes prompted her behavior, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that was the intended direction. Moreover, the argument of "don't blame Omniverse" just doesn't really make sense to me. The Omniverse crew had complete control over the decisions they made aside from any limitations or demands imposed by the network. Why shouldn't they be blamed for how they decided to handle Charmcaster?

I'm genuinely surprised that slipped in but also further emphasizes how toxic their relationship is where they're really just using each other and how Charmcaster just really wants to feel love. Ngl her two character centered episodes and both of them ends with her having a bad ending just leaves a sour taste. Its heartbreaking but also kinda relatable in a way, it may not relate to you personally but you can maybe relate it to someone you know.

Honestly I wish Micheal had a bit more nuance. Like him actually reciprocating Charmcaster's feelings, but either caught up in revenge or drunk on power. Throughout the episode he doesn't really ever seem like he's genuinely into her beyond the power. I feel after all the other episodes with him always ending up betraying for the sake of more power, it's about time he get fleshed out a bit more as a person rather than a villain, not unlike Charmcaster herself. Hell, part of me even thought some of the blame would be put on Charmcaster given she knowingly let Micheal go back with very limited power, showing that she had essentially made him dependent on her and her mana. I think it could've been far more interesting having both not only having genuine feelings for each other, but also using the other in a complex, honestly toxic relationship that could've been improved and built upon with time, and the two could've been a dangerous powercouple, and yet also end up helping both of them move past their villainous tendencies.

Overall her arc is the same, though with some added stuff with the MC here and there to develop some things that get hunkered down after the rejection of her father(where the mc learns her name thanks to a cosmic alteration to his being due to an alteration in fighting Ultimate Aggragor in the forged of creation) and then a big rageful brawl occurs between Dark Star and the mc when he learns that Dark Star insulted her by not remembering her name and ends with his confession towards her. Should note that at the moment this au is still in big developments as I'm formatting how I want to build both the current and new arcs and what things are getting altered for the verse(currently going with alien force and ultimate alien form of Osmosians and an altered atomix at minimum thus far)

I really liked this episode, it made me want to cheer for Charmcaster to have a redemption arc. I don't mean where she becomes good and join Ben and his team as heroes but more on that she changes how she rules ledgerdomain and be a fair ruler to her kingdom or she could choose an alternative where she freely gives her kingdom to someone else to rule justly and Charmcaster becomes a somewhat wonderer that travels the multiple realms and help anyone she meets, kinda like a doctor who situation but you know... with magic

This episode honestly shows just how much potential both Charmcaster and Michael had as characters. For the former it genuenly seems that every time the writers are *about to* take her character in some really interesting places they conoletely rebrand her or set her back to 0 And for the latter, the foundation of his character is fantastic. The "fallen angel" symbolism of his character combined with him being a parasyte both literally and figuratively makes for a cool dualistic antagonist, but it genuenly seems like they never actually *do* anything with him.

Soooo.... are we not gonna address the MASSIVE elephant in the room. You know the AGE GAP of these characters dating. Like in classic series both Ben and Gwen are 10 while Charmcaster is at least in her mid to late teen years. Then, in AF, when ben and Gwen are 15, applying that charmcaster should be at least in her early to mid-20s alongside Micheal was flirting with Gwen meaning he had to be around the same age as her (plus in his debut episode he said that the "zombie" girls had the same uniform from his school further applying he's still a high-schooler) But then in UA, that takes place a year later we see Darkstar and Charmcaster full on dating. So either Micheal is even more of creep and a liar, the people of Legerdomain age differently or charmcaster is the creep.

No charmcaster is 5 years older than ben. Ben is 16 in UA meaning charmcaster is 21. Michael looks to be around Kevin's age who's probably 18. Their age gap is not that big. Michael could be older since he absorbs life from people to stay young and powerful. He is a liar and creep either way he was caught thirsting for Gwen's powers that's all he cares about.
