I kid of want He Man to still be more or less masculine, though. I think it's nice to show it's possible to be super manly without being a jerk.

He'd be like the anti-Sea Hawk.

I think we can all be thankful that the little flying pink mascot thing from the original was only acknowledged in the form of a stuffed animal this time around.

Rewatching episodes today just reminds me what a sweetheart Scorpia is to everyone around her; even people she's fighting she treats politely.

The art is perfectly fine. Strangely I don't really care much for the Catra and Adora conflict, because we all know Catra isn't in a place where she is going to do any good or learn. Not this season anyway.

Scorpia though will 100 percent turn against Hordak at some point. She is just too great not to.

Also I want to see more of her skills of an artist. She makes drawing fun!

Someone (maybe here?) pointed out that all the Horde vehicles seem kind of scorpion-themed, and that maybe in addition to hosting them, Scorpia's family might be bankrolling Hordak.

Is Adora, though? I kept getting the vibe that one of their huge issues is that Catra fell in love and Adora was an oblivious friend.

I didn't get that feeling. I thought Adora wasn't oblivious so much as she simply took Catra for granted. Catra's point about how she was treated as a sidekick, and if she followed Adora out of the Horde she's go back to being her sidekick again stung so much because it was true.

so I remember youtube being filled with people making GBS threads on the promo or trailer for this show, now that its out ( I don't have NF anymore) is there still reeeing about it or did it all go away.


Happy to hear its good.

Neckbeards are still caterwauling about Eighties She-Ra's titties being denied to them. Pay no attention.

Meanwhile, there was an entire palace filled with royal guard who were all apparently sitting around doing nothing during the final battle.

I know the show is all about the princesses and their friends, but maybe don't show heavily armed troops standing around and then totally ignore they exist when the largest battle of their lives is literally happening on their doorstep.

Maybe they're just ceremonial color guard types.

Catra, Scorpia, and Entrapta pose a serious danger to the narrative in that they're much more engaging than the protagonist crew.

Entrapta is, if not the sole ruler of her own country, then the daughter of said country's monarch. Entrapta doesn't have to pay taxes because she is the person to whom taxes are paid :colbert:

She might have to pay taxes to Hordak now though, which she is definitely not doing.

She'll make that up by levying troops robots.

Obviously they execute anyone who surrenders. That's why no soldier ever made it back from the forest prior to the first episode.

All those "Horde went in, never came out" stories were all barracks bullshit, and no one's ever actually gone in to test it until now.

It pleased me to see that Adora is finally developing a healthy mistrust of Lighthope. This season leaned into portraying her as a kind of mirror of Shadow Weaver: an authority figure with an agenda that doesn't include Adora's well-being.

The show's pretty consistent about nobody being pure evil. Everyone's understandable. And I wonder if we're gonna see more of a fracturing of the "bad guys" since, well, bigger things are coming.

Also, it's been three seasons, where the gently caress is Mantenna already.

Glimmer's biggest change isn't her new look, or her new responsibilities--it's that instead of confusing and distracting opponents with sparkles, she is burning through metal with straight-up death rays. :black101:

Was there a real Flutterina that DT was copying, or was she a character they invented solely for the purposes of being a mole?

Logically Flutterina should've been a real person otherwise the villager would've pointed out that she was a stranger, but DT would've needed to guarantee the original never re-appeared, so for the purposes of the show, probably a character they invented.

It would be sort of off-tone for the horrified villagers to discover a ten-year-old's corpse stashed somewhere, yeah.
