Added DiffLines:

* InsistentTerminology: The game Flags heavily resembles a classic Earth game, King of The Hill. Marco is reminded it’s called Flags in Mewni, and it’s more brutal. At the end, Marco claims the peak, and declares himself King of The Hill, showing that the rules are more or less similar to the Earth game.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: Star realizes that her mother was right about the Game of Flags and had more reason than just being overprotective for banning her from participating. Then Marco suddenly declares himself the victor, and Star's expression [[ShipTease mirrors Moon's own embarrassment with her husband]].

* AsinineAlternateActivity: Star wants to sit at the adults' table and participate in the deadly game of Flags, but her mother puts her foot down against her playing Flags and assigns her to the kids' table with her baby cousins. The kids' table is also sized for much smaller kids -- it doesn't even reach Star's knees when she sits at it.
