On another note: if you had the power to teleport, would you really be doing cardio?

I love how everyone has a differ body type. Even catra and adora aren’t alike. And entrapta is short! Seriously if she wasn’t short my life wouldn’t be complete.

Honestly, this show was exactly the show that eleven year old me craved so desperately. Having this show now, in my twenties, makes the inner little girl in me so happy.



Now that we're drawing to the final season being released, I'm able to say that I am very happy that this show exists.

80’s shera: botox

present shera: gay
edit: lmao some of y’all can’t take a joke and it shows

Why were people so surprised ? It’s just a remake.

What would be the point of a remake that looks exactly like the old one ? That has the exact same arcs ? The same analysis and development of the characters ?
Remakes are interesting because you get to see a new interpretation of the story, a different perspective on the characters and their actions.
I understand preferring the original, but it would be a waste to just redo the same show with barely any changes since you already have the original.

People were overreacting, honestly, because I don’t remember anyone complaining about the fact that the characters in Voltron looked different than the 80s show ( along with having quite different personalities and relationships)

honestly...scorpia and entrapta win his series for me.theyre such adorable cinnamon rolls

[amusedcuriosity]

I'm a teenage girl who watched the original She-Ra all throughout my childhood, because my mother wanted to share the joy it brought to her with me. The She-Ra theme song was the soundtrack to my early childhood, and even when I was too young to really think about how the show affected me, I enjoyed it.
The reboot is one of the best shows I've ever watched. The diversity is true and beautiful, not shoved in for woke points. The art is breathtaking, the sound design enchanting, and the characters wonderfully fleshed out.
The overarching theme of toxic/healthy relationships is amazing, it explores betrayal and confliction deeper than most "serious" pieces of media do. The characters are conflicted, bad people doing good things, good people doing bad things, and people turning from good to bad and bad to good in the way that real people are fluid and don't fit into "evil" and "good."
It's truly a piece of art, and the ways that it differs from the original make it so much better. I first went into the show expecting to be disappointed, but instead I fell in love with a whole new universe.
The redesigns of these characters are like breathing life into a statue. The original was (while an entertaining show for kids) sometimes bland. The way that each character now has their own mannerisms, style, and presence makes them even more lovable.
So, in conclusion, fuck the people who are mad that this show isn't all skinny white teenage girls in skimpy clothes who weren't given the luxury of a personality. The way this show expands on these beloved characters is wonderful, and it doesn't need their approval.

I just finished all 5 seasons in a week

Can confirm

show good

[Northflowo]

As someone who's never seen the original show I honestly can't see how on Earth someone would prefer the original designs aside from nostalgia reasons. I don't mind if someone does but I just really can't see the appeal in the old designs.

[santigarcia]

Am I the only one that doesn’t have a strong opinion on the show and just genuinely enjoys watching it because it’s fun and entertaining? lol

[VonBonBobinsky]

"80s She-ra could be someone's MAMA!" lol that made me laugh way too hard, love this video!

[omni]

“Not queens!”
*season 3 comes out*
OOOF

[CL-hsku]

It's kind of creepy how all these men are angry that TEENAGE PRINCESSES are actual kids and not overly sexualized.

[sosolis]

I love how in order for people to understand you literally had to explain why diversity exists. Because people won’t just understand that humans are different between each other.

[unlucky]

I was born in the late 80s and watched the old version. After seeing it again last year, probably the only thing I appreciate is the nostalgia. I couldn't stand the blandness of the characters and the cheesiness of each episode. The new one is more fun and relatable. As a non-heterosexual person of color, I like the diversity. I've been a fan of Princesses of Power since it debuted on Netflix.

[MomsAgainstCatboys]

I enjoyed the complexity of the characters and also how the villains weren't 2-dimensional. They were nuanced, complex, and had struggles and issues the same and the heroes.

[mysticblacksmithofcosplay]

I went into this show blind, no knowledge of the past show, and first thought "I'll give this a shot, might disappoint me or be a nice find" and I was happy is was the latter. I was happy with the art style and designs, I like how, for lack of a better word, some of the characters looked more big boned, it was refreshing to me, and seeing how each county looked different due to there environment and such, was another plus to me, the characters is what really hooked me though, Specially Adora, like her reaction to the first time seeing a horse, I melted with glee and luv'd her and the show and continued there. Sorry this was long, good job if you actually read this.

[muse]

Atleast they didn't take it into the same direction teen Titans go went.

[yeseniagonzalez]

Me: *slaps old she-ra* I like this

Me: *Slaps new she-ra* But this is Brilliant!

[nico_exe]

Honestly, the best thing about the reboot (aside from the diversity) is CATRADORA AND SPINTOSSA
