I just want to point out that there's precedent for a villain with a sympathetic backstory not getting a redemption arc in a kid's show: Princess Azula. She didn't get redeemed, she had a psychotic break and her last on-screen appearance was her writhing around on the ground screaming and crying in chains and it was incredibly disturbing.

Dang, I need to do an A:TLA rewatch. I've powered through She-Ra, Voltron, Dragon Prince, even Final Space, and still need that animation itch scratched.

It's the same as therapy except you don't pay an obscene hourly rate to talk to someone who's not qualified to describe themselves as a psychologist. "getting better" or whatever it is you think you've done is just an elaborate way of tricking yourself into being okay with your situation. It's fraud.

You had a real lovely parent? Doesn't matter if you think that's normal or not. To keep that person in your life when you are an adult is still the choice you have to make. Do or don't.

What is not normal is to place childhood emotional trauma on the same level as someone setting of a doomsday device on purpose. One is being like probably 80% of people who've ever had children, and the other is literally someone attempting to commit the ultimate genocide. There is a bigger picture than catra not being mother's favorite.

This post is not normal.

So, they never actually said it, but it was pretty strongly implied that Glimmer let Double Trouble out and hired him to sow chaos in the Fright Zone, right? That's why he just up and revealed what happened to Entrapta. I'm not just imagining this?

Ok, good, I was worried I was making up conspiracy theories, albeit really cool ones.

I assumed Glimmer just paid them.

It has been 1 7 days into the hiatus since someone admitted which character they want to gently caress.

I'm not really 100% sure how I feel about the Catra redemption arc. Maybe if it was longer than just the first several episodes of one season? I mean, I certainly didn't hate it but I dunno, it felt maybe a little unearned. Still, season 5 very good, show very very good.

Wrong Hordak is definitely the breakout star of the season.
