i am so happy with this show, so proud of its trajectory from the beginning -- somewhat sillier and less bold, without climaxes -- to these super bold last seasons. i love everything about it, how progressive it is, how it is not afraid of showing that love is for everyone, that we should take care of each other and of the earth we live in. i'm not much of a redemption arcs fan, but i am living for catra's and shadoweaver's final arcs, truly the two most complex characters (in my humble opinion, but i do love a good villain). i love how yes, we've got excellent lbgt+ characters and how they subvert the roles in other ht relationships, but not everybody need to be romantically involved. love is for everyone, but there's also so many kinds of love. i love that the idea of legacy only makes sense if it is the best for everyone, is not something to be mindlessly passed on without any consideration for the individual's subjectivity. i love that everything is really feminin in such an honest, unique and proud way. maybe every boy felt this much affection for their favorite tv shows when they were little, and it is so good to feel the same way. i love how nuanced and direct it can be at the same time, it is ecossocialist and antifascist in a very broad sense (i mean, with every kind of fascism there is, be it with direct politics, with religion, with love, with aesthetics -- everything). i loooove the trace, the design, the aesthetics' conception for this. i love how all the time it is about friendship, about being true to yourself, even if that hurst because you're still finding out who you are, about family and how the idea of it can be expanded to new people in your life. i mean, in the end, it is always building up to this idea of community, showing us that together we can achieve whatever it is, no matter how hard. nobody needs to be a hero alone. nobody has to be alone.

The old She-Ra looked like an adult, not a child. And the reason this is important is because she fought Hordak and the Evil Horde. And she did it to be a hero and save Eternia from Evil.

This She-Ra looks like a child. And you can't have a child fight and go on the same kind of adventures that you can an adult. Even when it's animated you can't have a child do the same dangerous things an adult does.

So the result is that this She-Ra, the 2018 one that looks like a child doesn't really fight to be a hero and save Eternia from the same evil menace. She's depicted as being too young to do that, so instead she goes on stupid and silly little adventures.

And that isn't She-Ra. She-Ra was intended to be "The Princess of Power," she was intended to be a warrior. She was supposed to fight evil, to save Eternia, and be a hero.

They depicted this She-Ra as a child and because she looks like a child she stopped being the "Princess of Power" and started being just a "Princess of Silliness and Cute." and that's not She-Ra.

And honestly, I don't know how that is offensive or violates any guidelines

Finally finished this show. I followed it from around the time there were 3 seasons then took a break in season 5.

This is a fun remake of He-Man with new spins on old characters but I'm not familiar with that. My favourite character was Catra. I liked the princesses except Glimmer and I felt like Netosssa and Spinerella were the arguably weakest developed princesses with no story arc until the end of the final season. So boring and their powers are boring. Each princess has their own struggles and overcomes them together with friends. The drama never felt overbearing or unbelievable.


[spoiler]I think that Hordak was a sufficient villain and that we didn't need horde prime. The addition of other words and dimensions...and the end arc of "hacking" may have been too much. The first one technology could defend itself from external threats and that story arc could continue without horde prime.[/spoiler]


The show is so cute and the art style is consistent cute and fun. Lots of sound effects really bring the show together. Unfortunately the final season really fails in art style. Some new things come up, like characters sweating. I'm not sure what happened towards the end of this series but the st quality definitely drops.


Worth a watch, didnt even feel like 5 seasons.
