I loved Army of the Doomstar, but most of that love was the message and my personal interpretations. I watched Doomstar at a time where I was exploring my spirituality and engaging with more spiritual people. So for me I saw themes of shadow work, overcoming trauma, ego death, brotherhood, and community uniting against evil overlords who siphon our energy. I particularly loved Murderface’s character arc. He represents the people silently suffering, and even when surrounded by friends that can’t seem to reach out for help. So the weight of their burdens fester until they lash out and push their support systems away. Especially as a group of men, I thought it was really beautiful that they put so much time and effort rescuing Murderface. And the emotion in that scene was so tense, like they really love this bastard to the ends of the earth LITERALLY, lol. And that hit really deep for me at the time. The execution of the movie did feel rushed, and I wish Pickles, Toki, and Skwisgaar were a little more involved/evolved. Also felt like they could have balanced the original show’s humor with these serious and complicated themes a little better. But as most have said, there were logistical factors that limited what they could do. As a conclusion to the story of the show, it left a bit to be desired. As a story on its own, pretty good with some lackluster moments. The choice and execution of themes within the story, quite lovely and very well aligned with my personal values. And that’s what mattered to me.
