I'm looking forward to Season 4 because it will have Scorpia in it... I wish I knew when it was coming out though. :sigh:

I want Scorpia and Entrapta to go off and have adventures together

Korra did it better.

There is literally no situation in which this statement is or will be true

Except maybe Entrapa and Hordak, but only because they don't share appreciable screen time until season 3.

They share a love of tech and the scientific method, which is the purest love of all

I think it's tricky because like, Catra has literally attempted to kill Adora, kill Adora's friends, and destroy the world, some of those things multiple times each. You sort of have to read those as heightened metaphors for bad behaviour, rather than as literalism, for her redemption arc to "work" without more time than the show had to spend on it.


Given that this is a kids' cartoon wherein the command structure of both sides' armies are a handful of teenagers, a couple of adults, and some robots, I feel like "don't read this literally" is kind of a given as the focus is clearly not meant to be on the horrors and logistics of war, and you're not really intended to think about how they're ostensibly trying to kill each other dead when they're having one-on-one fights any more than you're supposed to consider the human cost in like, Advance Wars games when the commanders are talking to each other about the power of friendship to conquer evil as thousands of nameless soldiers are being blown apart under their command.
