I can't really see Shadow Weaver as having any villainy at all, she just takes what side will have her. The only reason she's "Shadow Weaver" in the first place is that she attempted to defeat the hoard her own way, and suffered not only disfigurement but exile because of it. Her choice was death or Hordak at that point. Then Hordak has enough of her, she goes and crashes on Glimmer's couch, being useful and not taking up any of several telegraphed opportunities to betray them.

You can say that she treats her kids in lovely indefensible ways but I mean yeah, she's a mother, they all do that, it's baseline human behavior. Part of being an adult is deciding which way you pretend it didn't happen to you.

That's really Catra's problem. You either repress the memory and keep going around for sunday dinner, or you cut off contact, but here Eternia's top furry is going around destroying the world and poo poo.

seek therapy

like seriously this is yr reaction to an animated kids show

it's ok to have problems but not dealing with them is going to do even more damage to you long-term

I think you should probably not try and diagnose internet strangers just because you don't like them pointing out that being mean to kids is not on the same level as world domination or genocide.

i never pretended to know what yr problems are but i know pain when i see it

i'm sorry that empathy wounds you

So how do people of feel at the end of S3 with Adora giving Catra the "Samurai Jack," eyes?

That was the highlight of the whole season for me. Just the look on Catra's face told me this was the first genuine time she was afraid of She-Ra .

for me it was a coda to s1e11 when catra (or maybe Light Hope loving with adora) threw the sword into the abyss before adora had to "let go"

amidst a re-watch rn but like swift wind getting to talk how catra got out of the sanctum is one of the bigger question marks of the show to date imo

They've mentioned having a series of 4 arcs of 12 planned. We're at the halfway point, assuming that still holds true.

it will. the 13 ep first season was a netflix test balloon and now they're gna release whatever whenever bc they have license to do so. all 52 eps will drop in some way or another.

now beyond that is a whole different beast but let's not get ahead of ourselves imo

Yeah, we don’t need to diagnose people over being wrong about a show

therapy is for everyone; it isn't a diagnosis to want someone in pain to be well

Don’t pretend “get therapy,” as innocuous as the words themselves are, is ever going to be perceived as anything other than a cheap insult when posted on the internet and directed at someone you know nothing about outside of a few posts. After all, it’s almost always intended that way.

i know you have to have read the post at this point and it's weird that you feel the need to defend it

also sure it's difficult to ascertain tone from posts but assuming every post is hostile isn't healthy either

basically, don't diagnose me either? is that how this works?

I'm disappointed that they didn't have Catra meet Drunk Adora. Though that maybe might go badly.

the twin currencies of etheria are friendship and survival. double trouble knows they're a utility player and wants to be on the winning side. when the tide changes, they adjust.

King of Foolians posted:

I’m pretty sure DT had a line about how they created Flutterina to be cute and pink to be the perfect persona to fool the Princesses. The impression I got was that “Flutterina” was made up whole cloth by DT.

also seems like maybe these kingdoms aren't as tight-knit as the princess alliance and don't know their neighbors all that well, allowing for this point with which i agree

kefkafloyd posted:

I was even thinking when watching the season "Oh, it's nice that even the bad guys don't misgender them."

this show is doing so much right but this was the most heart-warming touch. misgendering is weaponized and suffered in silence so often.

“referring to” like sarcastically? bc you know that drunk ppl don’t tell “the REAL truth” when they’re drunk and that’s a stupid myth?

We're talking about Adora being infected by a weird techno-virus here. As in, the way she acts in the show.

you were the one who started talking abt adora being drunk, not the show

RareAcumen posted:

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.

I dunno, the Princess Prom episode can sort-of be read that way.

in hindsight there is zero other reading and i felt kinda dumb for missing it

there’s other stuff too but since adora is also in the scenes you could be forgiven for thinking it’s abt both of them and not just Bow (it’s mostly abt Bow)
