Yes! A thousand times yes!! SO MANY THINGS!
- All the characters being genuine “people” and not just walking plot devices. They actually interact and are important to the story.
- Catra is ADORABLE and I LOVE how well they were able to redeem her, it’s so natural and it just feels so right. THAT KISS! THAT PROCLAMATION OF LOVE! That was the most amazing thing ever, and I kept screaming before, during, and after! Five seasons! FIVE SEASONS! But it was worth all of it! They’re canon, they’re beautiful, they’re lesbians, and they’re in love!!!!!
- YES I love that the show is possibly portraying Entrapta as someone that is neurodivergent, it’s so natural and handled in such a skillful way. Her saying that she’s not good with emotions and people, and her hyperfixating on things (tech), but still being an extremely valuable character and beloved friend with complex development and relationships I just—
- Bow and Glimmer!!! I’m actually surprised you didn’t talk about Bow kissing Glimmer’s forehead like—WOW we all thought it but now it’s CANON!
- Everyone saying they love each other at the end! So cheesy but it’s so perfect. Love really does conquer all!!!
The best show I’ve watched to date. I cannot believe the amount of representation, effort, and skill that went into this show. As someone who’s part of the LGBTQ community, a show like this makes me feel so warm inside. You really said it: the fact that everything is so natural just makes me so happy, and I can’t imagine how amazing this will be for young queer people watching it. I’m so happy they’re able to have this healthy form of representation in mainstream media. It just—it’s amazing and I’m crying and this was such a great video;;; good job, you really nailed it!
I loved how real Catra’s redemption felt. Where she was truly sorry for her actions and showed a tremendous amount of effort in redeeming herself and becoming a less toxic person.
One important facet of Catra’s arc that wasn’t mentioned here was her big mistake - the thing she thought was true until she (finally) learned it wasn’t: the idea that love is exclusive. Throughout the series, right up to Save the Cat the argument between Adora and Catra has been the same one: “come with me” against “stay with me”. Adora discovers that there are people who need her, and are happy to be friends with her, and tries to share that friendship with her oldest friend. Meanwhile, Catra sees that Adora has new friends, and immediately concludes that she, Catra, isn’t enough for Adora - the unstated idea being that if Adora “really” loved Catra they wouldn’t need any other friends.
It’s only when Catra accepts that Adora having her new friends doesn’t mean that Adora no longer loves Catra enough to risk her own life to save her that she finally gives up on it being a choice between her and them.
“No one is destined to be evil” is a really important key quote in this video/theme in She-Ra. Noelle, the showrunner for She-ra, did a 2 hour “between the sheets” interview on yt where she discusses how her religious upbringing ingrained in her that people are destined to be good or bad, and how impacted her. In that interview, she talks about so many things in her life that you can see relate to the characters development! A super good watch if you wanna learn more about Noelle and how her life experiences directly impacted the incredible story telling and emotions she put into this show!
