Karn is colorless because he's also an artifact. 90% of the creatures that make artifacts are U/x. Emily would be a colorless artifact. Darla would be a colorless artifact vehicle. Entrapta would be mono-U. (You could also argue Izzet based on how bug gently caress random she is with her experiments.)

And no loving way Shadow Weaver is Rakdos. She doesn't do sadism or physical torture. She's the big plans, manipulate from behind the scenes, power-at-any-cost type.

Urza was W though.

Urza was technically 5 color like all early walkers, but he was primarily U, especially before he sparked. Look up his newest card.

He could use all colors like all old-school Planeswalker but his original affinity is stated to be white in the Urza books. Iirc Sera confirms it. His descendant Jodah shares the affinity.

I always though Blue was a better fit.

Has there even been anger about S5 among the usual suspects? I remember the kerfuffle when S1 came out but now all I'm seeing on the internet is a lot of love (and some disagreement on how well some of the arcs were executed).

Which is pretty :3:

The worst I've seen is when Netflix was tweeting announcements for the show and some people in the comments were saying "who cares about She-Ra, where's [show I want to watch]" but I'm pretty sure those people come out for every single announcement.

Edit - There's an article out about Noelle responding to the fan theory that Bow is trans. Noelle's response is quite good, I think. The TL;DR is that she didn't intend for him to be trans or she would have hired a trans voice actor for him, but she likes the theory and is glad people can read the character that way. She doesn't want to canonize it though because that feels like claiming representation after the fact, ala JKR.

I love the dig at JKR, not gonna lie.

Give us a movie where they fight some Horde Prime remnant and save Angella. While going full Heavy Metal.

I just realized a better match-up than Heavy metal would be Kill Six Billion Demons.

I'm suddenly disappointed in the fact that Catra is the one who actually got Adora drunk that second time and yet she never interacted with Drunkdora.

Same. But it would have solved everything right there as Drunkdora has no filters.

I felt Horde Prime was a weak villain overall. All the other bad guys had nuance and reasons for being lovely people, which made it more entertaining when they did bad things for bad reasons. HP is just a straightforward bad guy.

We don't see how he became this way, but see him after centuries of transforming himself into a one-person hivemind. It's like Sauron or Yawgmoth: there might have been something there a long time, but now all you see is the horror they have become.

Yeah, there's a ton of stuff from the 70s to 90s that have an interesting core idea that never got a chance imho. If it's half as good as She-Ra I'm down.

Also bring back the :krad: 80s opening music.

Just have all the evil villain plots be real things that really happened. complete with citations at the end of the episodes.. It would get incredibly dark fast.
