Enjoying it so far. I know it was done for the sake of brevity, but I like how fast Adora flipped on the Horde despite a lifetime of social conditioning. Like a big puppy who gloms on to the first person that’s genuinely kind to them. Also, the first episode after the opener being about not waiting for change to happen and instead going to wreck the people oppressing you was on the nose but extremely good.

Her recruitment strategy is "be big at gay ladies" and it had a 99% effectiveness rate!

Pyrotoad posted:I think he should've been a First One, like one of the OGs of their people. The non-Mara faction ones were already bad guys and their methods were pretty similar. Plus it'd be pretty cool for the First to be defeated by the Last. Personally, I liked that Horde Prime wasn't one of the First Ones, because that means the show has two colonizer factions that She-Ra stands against. The First Ones scoured the galaxies for planets with the express goal of stealing and using resources from it. Their reckless experiments on Etheria stole magic from the people of Etheria, completely loving up the wildlife. And they perverted what should have been a resource the people of Etheria use for peace and turned it into a weapon to be used to conquer more planets. Hell, they even whitewashed history so Etherians remembered them for being a mysterious benevolent ancient civilization with advanced tech. As for Horde Prime, his mission of spreading his twisted vision of his light to galaxies is pretty much the white man's burden. Horde Prime and his army's color scheme is even white just to hammer that point home.

For the record, I like Prime because of how incredibly hard they commit with him. I mean, he built a galactic theocracy where he's worshipped by billions of copies of himself, and he engages in routine organ theft from himselves so he can have cosmetic surgery to make him cooler, more handsome, and more unique than himself. His hive-mind is vertical but not horizontal (its members share information with him, but not with each other) because gently caress sharing. 'Brother' and 'sister' are the highest compliments he knows because people only matter if they're related to him, and that only matters because then they're on some level a part of him. He'll take other people into his hive-mind, but he's got an entire trophy-room of destroyed planets because he only ever has so much patience for people who aren't himself. They really drive home the terrible grandeur and equally terrible pettiness of a pathological narcissist with the power to fulfil their dreams. There's a little bit of Horde Prime in several members of the cast, and he's the ultimate demonstration of what happens when that mad, selfish hunger takes someone over and starts chewing through the galaxy.

I just realized that we never got a Marxist Horse vs. Fascist Clone Daddy political debate/battle. I mean so long as we're indoctrinating the youth into the gay agenda, why not throw in some anti-fascist sentiments.

I feel like more kids shows in this day and age could benefit from the message “sometimes bad people have complex emotions and tragic backstories, but sometimes they’re just big mean assholes”.

Alcohol breaks all inhibitors. Usually you pretty much just start to babble random stuff which goes through your head with arbitrary firing of synapses. But if you have a secret which weights on you for the majority of your life, but just refrain yourself from revealing it on a logical level, that might well slip out, if your logic shuts down. I don't think Adora's feelings for Catra are the later, because she seemed really unaware of it herself.

It's a joke of Adora being a fun drunk and telling everyone she loves them. Also she's totally oblivious about the fact that Catra really loves her for real so she'd get a different idea from hearing it from her.

Is it me or do the clothing of the Star Siblings look straight out of a Moebius comic? Something like Edena or Airtight Garage or Incal.SardonicTyrant posted:It's the new Sunday Friend. Now I can't help but see Catra searching for her gun and badge with supportive Scorpia helping her.

Yeah, I feel like we're running out of really popular 80s cartoons to remake. What's even left at this point that hasn't seen some kind of update, sendup, or revival? The Jetsons, Captain Planet, Denver the Last Dinosaur? Also, I guess Noelle Stevenson is also the lady who did Nimona? Neat, I remember really liking that comic. The mid-aughts web-comic scene turned out some pretty cool creatives.

This She-ra reboot ended up being wonderful, but let's be real. Most cartoons from that era were trash. It's not exactly a fruitful avenue to explore. Just make original stuff!

I dunno, I'm generally not big on remakes but the last ten to fifteen years feel like something of a golden age in western TV animation. There's a glut of really outstanding shows for kids and adults, both remake, and original. So long as we keep getting stuff like Avatar and Steven Universe, I don't mind a few Ducktales or She-Ras mixed in. Especially in a case like this, where the source material is pretty rough. Like, I could see someone who grew up with the original wanting to share it with their kid, but hesitating because it did not age well.

Yeah, there's a ton of stuff from the 70s to 90s that have an interesting core idea that never got a chance imho. If it's half as good as She-Ra I'm down. Also bring back the  80s opening music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9K0SzFIf4A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev1aBt-_Zs4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBJGMI2ZWWI
