So straight off the jump we’re in a better place here. This is what the cast of the new show looks like: This is what She-Ra’s cast of characters used to look like: I mean, the two on the outside are both purple… It’s phenomenal, all the way through.īut yeah.
The animation style, which got a lot of unnecessary abuse, is exactly appropriate for the show, and the facial expressions are worthy of The Amazing World of Gumball. I love even the minor characters, with Mermista, Entrapta and Scorpia being particular favorites. Adora’s fish-out-of-water reaction to … well, virtually everything after leaving the Horde is great. The relationship between She-Ra and Catra– an invention of the new series, from my understanding– is complex and heartbreaking, especially for a show where friendship is such an important theme, and it feels real. Sea Hawk’s insistence on setting his ships on fire was a running joke that never got any less funny. To wit: when She-Ra first turns Swift Wind, her horse, into a … pegacorn? Unisus? Rainbow horned wing-beast thing, the horse’s reaction to its new wings and horn had all three of us laughing so hard we could barely breathe. My son loves the show because it’s awesome. My son does not love the show because of politics. My son loved it so much that he’s created his own characters inspired by the show and he’s been drawing comic books about them and creating statues of them in Minecraft all day. But before I get into that, I want to be super clear about something: the show is hilarious and touching and action-packed and the voice acting is superb and even before we get into any of the representation issues it’s a great show. I love what this show is as much as how it is what it is. I’m not gonna lie: a large portion of my affection for this show is somewhat political.

This is absolutely 100% unequivocally the best show I’ve ever done one of these pieces on, and I’m only not calling it my favorite animated series of all time because I feel like the second I hit Publish on this piece I’ll remember what my favorite animated series really is and I’ll feel dumb. We watched the other eleven episodes in two big gulps over the next couple of days. The three of us watched the first two episodes together and we had to force our son to go to bed at his bedtime because he wanted to stay up and watch more. I probably shouldn’t even make this part of the CCPR series, y’all, because I loved every second of this show. If that makes me a bad person, I can live with it. Honestly, I only decided to watch the show because it seemed to be pissing off a bunch of whiny manbaby manchildren, and I like it when those people’s feelings are hurt. I could not have told you the names of a single member of her supporting cast prior to this week. I remember that she said “For the honor of Greyskull” instead of “By the power of Greyskull,” but I think that’s cultural osmosis and not an actual memory.
I don’t think I ever watched the She-Ra cartoon. I also watched the He-Man cartoon, and I have very detailed memories of being very angry with WGN because at some point or another they chose to commit the cardinal sin of pre-empting an episode of He-Man with a Cubs game. I didn’t really pay a hell of a lot of attention to She-Ra because … well, I was a boy. I grew up in the eighties it was inevitable.
