The Beyonder is that “friend” who can’t stop making offensive jokes or playing mean-spirited pranks on people and who responds to criticism with “You’re too sensitive, why are you so triggered, no one has a sense of humor anymore”, etc. And then they can’t figure out why no one wants to hang out and everyone blocked them.

There is an explanation, if not an excuse, for the Beyonder’s actions: he genuinely doesn’t know any better. He came here to study humanity, and he barely understands human food, let alone human emotions. Furthermore, he doesn’t get that actions have consequences since his powers usually let him wriggle out of responsibility for the damage he causes.

I think the Beyonder genuinely wants to be Lunella’s friend, if only because he considers her one of the few entities who’s on his level. But again, he plays too much. He can’t even do Lunella a simple kindness like getting her back home without turning it into a joke… one she doesn’t appreciate.

As of the end of the “Wish-tar” ep, it looks like Beyonder’s burned that bridge. Lunella realizes she’s hurt his feelings and she feels badly about it. But can you blame her for sending him away?

I wonder if whatever entity sent the Beyonder to Earth intended for a disappointment like this to be part of his “research”, to have the experience of breaking something he can’t immediately fix.
