Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I started this on a whim to wash out the grim (and excellent) taste of Castlevania out of my mouth with something bright and colorful and gay and I would just like to say this show kicks rear end and I love it. Psyched for future seasons. Shout out to Scorpia. And Mermista. And Entrapta. And pretty much every character tbh

Only actual issue I had with it was the ludicrously fast turnaround time all the protagonists had on changing their mind about stuff. Apart from Glimmer not trusting Adora for like an episode and a half the rest are all stubborn for maybe 10 minutes at most before going "yeah ok sure" to whatever the issue was. But it's a show for kids and 13 episodes doesn't leave the most room in the world when you're spending half of them introducing the cast, so I get why it was like that.

When you consider that in the original, The Great Rebellion took all of ten seconds to take He-Man's word for it and accept Adora into their ranks, this current Adora's acceptance arc might as well have been measured by geological time by comparison

I have zero prior knowledge of, history with, or affection for any previous Grayskull-adjacent fiction so that's news to me v:shobon:v

Good to know the characters are more discerning these days though.

Kinda binged through it this morning. Was pretty good. First impression during some of the fights is that it kind of hits my usual annoyance with a lot of fantasy/supernatural action stuff that like, it's hard sometimes to sell the heroes being underdogs in a conflict when the good side has like, most of the really super powerful characters.

I was going to say "well the Horde has the advantage of sheer numbers" but I guess thinking about it you don't ever actually see that until the finale, which was still only a couple dozen guys. There's kind of a problem with scale. The big picture never really gets shown and is just sort of implied by the fact that the heroes are the ones being called a rebellion, meaning the Horde are the ones with the most control at the moment.
