Please react to the new Epic the Musical sagas, the latest one dropped just yesterday
🗡️
🫴 I think you dropped this
Love the video as always 😂
For context on the "Hordak" thing: Hordak was the original villain on the planet of Bright Moon, he was a defective clone who was trying to use the power and magic of the planet of Bright Moon to go back to Horde Prime, the clones are supposed to be apart of a singular mind, therefore one with an identity and even their own name is wrong in Horde Prime's eyes. Despite this, he still went back to Horde Prime and caused Prime to find the planet of Bright Moon, but when Hordak was trying to make a portal to Prime, he met Entrapta and they became great friends or "just lab partners" in his stubborn eyes. Entrapta even made that purple crystal as a data chip with upgrades for Hordak since his body was defective. So when Entrapta saw a crap ton of people looking just like her best friend she immediately wanted to bring him back. So "Wrong Hordak" the clone they found wasn't him, but the clone at the end who said her name was Hordak. Horde Prime isn't even a conqueror, he's a destroyer. In a diff episode he's having dinner with Glimmer and Catra and as a power move he states that the food they're eating is the last in every universe because he killed everyone and everything from that planet. anyways that was my yap sesh but to reiterate, Horde Prime is the green guy with 5 eyes, Hordak is the defective clone that is shown in the first season with Navy Hair and red teeth/eyes.
Correction. It’s “FOR THE HONOUR OF GRAYSKULL”
For the honour of gayskull sounds better though
Catra normally says Hey Adora, so her saying Hello Adora is jarring.
Almost a thousand likes and not a single reply? I see how it is.
910 likes and only 1 replay?? Lets fix that
This^^ this is part of why watching only one episode can get frustrating, because I’m like “no you don’t get how this one single moment is the culmination of a drawn out multi season arc it’s so much bigger than you think”
Catra did just fucking die. She just also un-just-fucking died.
I love this comment

I love how he’s being like, “Oh the creators are definitely making it so that people can ship the two of them” Like dude, they are so canonically gay
SHE-RA AND THE LESBIANS OF POWER
YES
I read somewhere that when adora jumped after catra, she fell and broke her legs, that's why she was crawling, but then she transformed into she-ra and it healed her
fr that info destroyed me when i found out
Yeah. Adora broke her legs and Catra actually died for a while before She-ra’s healing powers brought her back to life
Fascinating, I didn't know that, but when I watched the show for the first time I did make the joke/observation that her legs broke so it's good that I was correct
Catra's purring and other feline sounds she makes and cat-like demeanor are SUCH a good gimmick.
Also very adorable 😂
Hey so fun fact, Catra "dies" nine times in the series, with this fall being ninth. There are eight events where she should've died, but because she's a cat, she survives. However, when she falls, she loses her ninth life, and so She-Ra uses her healing powers to revive her (also apparently Adora crawls because she broke her legs [she loves Catra _that_ much] and finally being able to summon She-Ra again heals her). According to the creator, they weren't allowed to confirm Catra died in the show, but they had her VA do super labored breathing to imply it.
No way! Wait I didn't even realized that 😭😭 what were the other eight??
NO WAY

Yes, Catra actually died. She died when She-Ra reached the ship with Bow and Glimmer.
One of She-Ra’s powers that are shown from the first season are healing powers, but this is the first and only time shown to bring someone back to life.
Also, also, yes, Glimmer does have trauma on the ship. She was held hostage on board for a while, Catra got her out at her own expense.
@@alecrunner7914 Clinically speaking yes, Catra died. Though she was in that limbo like state of clinical death where if intervention occurs, can possibly be brought back (which Adora did).
Though I like to think that Adora couldn’t do this multiple times or for anyone else, as it would make her powers as She-Ra seem too god like & we’ve seen her have limitations with her magic before, which helps keep her grounded as a person & not an almighty being.
I think it’s probably a mixture of both things, I mean She-Ra’s powers are driving mostly by love so her bringing Catra back to life in a god like way isn’t too much of a stretch for me. But also yeah, she does feel op compared to what she’s struggled with before.
To be fair, Bow literally faced a bomb at point blank range in season 4 (referring to those pulse robots). She-ra was able to heal him from that, so uh I dunno if Catra was the first time, I guess the only first confirmed time.
@@thefattestdragon8451 no doubt Bow WOULD have died if not for Adora but then again, he also should’ve had limbs blown off with how close he was caught up in the blast but they took plot liberties there by showing him as more alive than Catra was when she got hurt, whereas Catra’s mortal injuries were treated more realistically in terms of the state she was left in after falling from such a height 😵 then again, the emotional weight was on a whole other level ❤️🔥
Fun fact: it was confirmed by the show creator that Catra died from that fall
wait youre kidding??? how did i never know aboujt this wtf???
@@raven8514 it's left pretty ambiguous because DreamWorks thought the alternative was too dark. Apparently the original plan was to have Catra stop breathing in Adora's arms before she turns into She-Ra
@@raven8514 The creator posted a list of all way the ways Catra lost lives
@@aura.euphoriaI haven’t watched this show before but I want to read that list
@@RedK5
The list:
Noelle Stevenson v
@Gingerhazing
1. Burned a life for maximum dramatic exit at Princess Prom
2. Spider'd
3. Suffocate'd
4. Portal'd
5. Portal'd, again
6. Ass fatally kicked by Glimmer in Pulse
7. Ass fatally kicked by Hordak in Destiny
Pt 2
8. Burned a life to save Glimmer
9. Prime'd
It was revolutionary when Adora took out the sword bc it had broke before and no one was sure if She-Ra would be back that’s why Glimmer says “she’s back”
The green eyes mean they're connected to Prime's hive mind, the whites in the green eyes means Prime is directly controlling them
I finally understand the pain of everyone watching you view all the spoilers of their favourite shows 😅
It is quite painfull indeed
Yeah, he should really stop doing that, he should watch the first episode of these shows instead, so when he finds one he likes he can continue watching it spoiler free ^^
Yeah I wish he’d watch from the beginning
It's what he likes doing though. It's how he best enjoys watching the content whether you like it or not.
@@SolarEclipse-po7iu hey, Im no hater of the format. I disagree with all the people saying he should change theentire premise
Matthew: Is it wrong, is it bad that i kinda love him?😗
Felicity: Why😦
felt that felicity 😂❤
I found Horde Prime so creepy my first watch.
i'm with matthew. glory be to horde prime!
he looks like a Ben 10 villain
13:25 basically it was because Wrong Hordak was electrocuted simultaneously to being disconnected, which glitched out the system of his neck chip, that's why he was freed
Same thing that happened to Catra basically, though the chips given to catra and the other etherians seem to indeed have some kind of failsafe?
@@Houtblokje The others do have failsafes, but Wrong Hordak's chip had its internal wiring exposed since he was still plugged in; so the shock went where it was supposed to go to shut it down.
Does he stick around?
@@RedK5 Yes!😁
@@RedK5 Yes! And he turns fully "good" after he discovers that Horde Prime retreated from a planet with magic.
23:15 You're actually not wrong for thinking that 😅 The creator said that Catra has 9 lives (like a cat) but when she fell off the edge like that, she lost her last life.
She-ra has healing powers though, so she was able to bring her back to life
This hits so hard after all the conflict between Catra and Adora before (Catra is one of the main antagonists). Also, if I remember correctly, this is the first time she transforms into She-Ra after a couple of episodes, and she even gets a new form, so it's extra epic.
Matthew remembering everyone's names throughout the whole episode, only to call Wrong Hordak 'Not Hordak', was kinda hilarious 😂
Wrong Hordak does indeed stick around later has a worse identity crisis that results in him permanently breaking awway from Horde Prime, and gets a happily ever after with Entrapta and (real) Hordak.
Unfortunantly, he never gets a new name. But that's okay, because he learns how to wink instead!
Okay, now watch all of She-ra. You will NEVER regret it.
"It's CATRA not CAT-RA" such "It's leviOsa not LeviosA" ahh vibes lol
Catra actually DID die in this episode. Adora had to bring Catra back to life during that little scene while on the ship
Shera is amazing, glad you check it out!
I showed She Ra to my mom and she was so moved by it that she cried and wrote about it in her book that shes writing :')
Pls tell me if she publishes it because I would love to bye it❤️
Whoa that's amazing! What genre of book is she writing??
To anwer the title question. Yes, yes we are.
PLEASE react to “80’s She-ra out of context” by WaterWitch it’s so good
Felicity is so based for this being one of her favourites, finale gets me every time
Wrong Hordak is in the show until the finale after this episode! He is the cutest bean 🥰
7:28 Matthew : It is wrong, it is bad... but I kinda love him.
Felicity : WHY?
🤣🤣🤣
oh boy, what an episode to watch without context 😭
i love when he reacts to she-ra (only happened twice
AJ Micalka's near death rattle was TOO good
Near death? N D Stevenson confirmed in a tweet that Catra actually *died* in this episode. It was 1 of her 9 lives - number 7 or 8, if I’m remembering correctly.
@@sarahoftheicewhoahh
@@sarahoftheice He confirmed that Catra lost all nine lives throughout the show but She-Ra healing her reset them so she's back to nine now
HELL YEAH SHE RA LETS GO LESBIANS
I wonder where the episode I'm thinking of is on that list, I remember it involves Pie making and memories
Omg, he should definitely react to it, it's so emotional
On IMDB, the top 5 is:
S5 ep 13 - Heart Pt 2
S5 ep 5 - Save the Cat
S5 ep 12 - Heart Pt 1
S5 ep 3 - Corridors
S4 ep 9 - Hero
Yup it's S4E9 Hero
Ahhhhhh i remember being so excited every time a new season came out!
Catra is my favoriteeeee, and I’m so glad they ended the show on a good note instead of making it go for too long
You definitely should react to the 2 parter because it’s emotional.
yes, he should watch the finale
This came just in time. I literally just finished rewatching SheRa like a week ago.
Def not wrong to love him! He's cool as hell. Liking a villain doesn't mean you cosign his actions
All those guys are literally clones of the boss, Horde Prime
Horde Prime is basically what if you crossed Jim Jones with Emperor Palpatine
I love how lesbian Jesus comes back with her hot wife like an angel
Catra is actually dead after the fall, the show doesn’t make it explicit since its for younger audiences but the creator confirmed that was the intention of the scene. Adora also shattered her own legs jumping after her as well. She uses She-Ra’s magic to heal and then resurrects Catra on the ship.
I'm pretty sure Catra actually dies in this episode and when Adora gives her the glow-y hug she gets revived
The fact that this show has so many similarities with The Owl House is uncanny. Hell even Horde Prime's VA was on TOH after this show aired to voice another beloved character!! HIGHLY recommend watching both this show and TOH and react to them PLEASE!!!
ALSO REACT TO ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AMPHIBIA EPISODES THATSBALSO 50 MINUTES, "ALL IN!!!"
The creators of both shows are friends, and I believe Stevenson helped with at least one episode of The Owl House. So, it's not too uncanny.
I second reacting to Amphibia!
Please watch Princess Prom for more “Hey Adora”s!
No joke: Adora acknowledging that she can be an idiot is SO cathartic!
So the Hordak thing --- Hordak was a "defective" clone who was stranded in the dimension of Despondos, which is basically an empty universe, but Etheria (the planet the main characters are from) had ALSO been stuck in Despondos by the last She-Ra for ~Reasons~, so he wound up there and waged war for Horde Prime, etc., except by giving himself a name he'd "betrayed" Prime (even though he remained loyal to the empire for all that time), so he was brainwashed as soon as he returned. Only, that purple diamond thing was a magic-tech battery Entrapta had made for him to prevent him deteriorating, but it had also sorta been a declaration of affection written in a magic language, hence breaking through the memory loss.
Also, yes, Wrong-Hordak does become a regular character. I think there's a scene compilation of him specifically, and he has a fairly simple but still excellent character arc.
Also, yes, we ARE okay because the show was frickin' excellent all the way to the end.
23:16 Lol Catra WAS clinically dead for a moment technically 😵
Oh this is the episode with Not Hordak NH for short. Best dude
We stan wrong hordak
@@wafflebean9828*we stan wrong hordak*
She-Ra was one of my favorite shows. Please watch more. I really enjoy your reactions 😊
You know... I think it would be interesting if he reacted to the highest rated episode of the original She-Ra from the 80's.
Totally for the reaction to 80's Catra.
Oh my goodness finally I’m so glad you decided to watch it this is an awesome show!
If you like "Tangeled the Adventure", than you should give Netflix "She-Ra" a try
I loved the Tangled movie and She-Ra. Should I give the show a try, I assume?
@@jadegecko Yes it's a heartfilled adventure series with unic strong characters of both genders and amazing artstyle and I have much more to prais, but the less you know the better the adventure will feel
@@ryxan6968 Will it destroy me like She-Ra and Arcane did
@@jadegecko There a some very strong and sad moments, but it's still childfriendly so, I don't really know do you cry while watching Disney movies?
@@ryxan6968 Eh, Lion King, BATB, and Tangled were all pretty emotional for me. How's it compare to True Colors from Amphibia?
"It's like the Hulk" It's more like He-Man. In fact the original version of She-Rah was just He-Man but targeted at girls
I love She-Ra, watched all seasons.
MOREEEE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SHOW OF ALL TIMES ❤❤❤
I know I’m still not over shera when even a reaction video of the episode makes me cry lol
FRICKING FINALLY
You should react to the whole show from season 1 to season 5 because how good and sad, confusing and angry
the show has will move your soul like i did for everyone else
So to summarize why everyone shock she turned into she-re, because everyone believed she-ra is weapon activated, as in you need a specific sword (and to be "the chosen one" Plus a chant) To be she-ra, And she doesn't have the sword with her at the moment (Turned out the power to be she-ra is within her all along)
The catradora finale always makes me cry shdhdh. PLEASEEE react to catradora’s story specifically 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I thought this would be the episode where the Lesbians did the kissing
Pls watch the whole series😢
Can you make a video on the songs from Dead End Paranormal Park? I feel like you’d really like songs like: You’re my Frankenstein, Somewhere down there, and Phantom of the theme park
I second this. Also all the songs are from the same episode, which was a musical.
Just some guy is my favorite.
I started watching she-ra at first because it looked like a wlw version of voltron (which I was obsessed with at the time) and let me tell you, the show did NOT disappoint. I wish it had more seasons 😢
hey mathew maybe its time to watch the WHOLE show
I love the moments when ur like guessing what’s about to happen and it’s either SO RIGHT COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE. From a Shera fan this was so cool to watch
You should totally react to alien stage! It's under 30 minutes. It has such good songs and so many things going on at the same time that I'd consider it reaction-worthy.
NEW SHERA CONTENT ON YT I’M HAPPY
YES YES YES YES YES I AM SO GLAD YOU DID THIS ITS AN AMAZING SHOW AHHAHFJWBCOWG
Its actually kind of interesting you watch this epsiode first, considering the base concept for it was written long before the rest ofthe show, and the shows creator nate stevenson basically made the whole show leading up to this.
The ehooe shoe
@@troytab6089 I was tired lol
20:14 I cry EVERY TIME I rewatch or watch a reaction to this part, these lesbians deserve the world
Good to know to this day there are still fans of this show :D
MOREEEEEEE!!! the final episode is the BESTTT and the pre-end
adora just used her healing powers.
For anyone who is confused on how Entrapta and Catra seem to magically know which clone is Emo Hordak, this is the conclusion I came to (also im really high so sorry if this make absolutley zero sense lmao) I believe "Daddy prime" *miscalculated* not just with Adora but with Emo hordak. Because the horde is a hivemind, they all share the same memories; And because they all share the same memories, every single clone *IS* literally the same person mentally and phisically. Emo hordak is a clone that was cut off from the hive mind; Which allowed him to develop a consistent personality with unique memories beliefs and morals. I believe since emo hordak was already part of the hive from the beginning, once emo hordak was added back to the hive, all of his memories were giving to the rest of the clones; which would mean that the clones are no longer "clones of horde prime obeying horde prime" and instead are now "clones of horde prime with conflicting memories of emo hordak being overitten by horde primes control". Adora was able to get through to catra when she was being controlled by evoking feelings stronger than horde primes control. Since all the clones already LOOK like emo hordak the clone being angry at catra for disobaying made him give off the same vibe as as emo hordak which evoked feelings that emo hordak brought out of catra every day which them made catra ask if he was emo hordak. I dont think she actually expected hordak to recognize her; and becaause that clone had emo hordak's memories, catra was able to break primes control and the clone became emo hordak and was able to recognize catra. I think entrapta might have came to this conclusion as well which would explain is why she was only prompted to show the crystal thingy once she saw a clone that reminded her of emo hordak and not of just a clone.
Okay, now let's fource him to watch the show fully now 😈
(Honestly though it's so good 🍷😭)
Did my comment get through? I shedded tears while thanking matthew for making this video
this was ridiculously entertaining thank you Mathew
please watch all of She Ra youd truly enjoy it
20:25 If you only KNEW the significance the word ‘Promise’ holds for these 2 😭
The way I keeled over and died that he literally reacted to the last episode of this amazing series. THE CONTEXT ISN”T THERE. U need to grow with the characters and bro skipped it 😭😭😭.
actually the creator confirmed that catra did died lol, shera just revived her sjsjs
The show is dark like how ATLA is. The show is a kids show, but it also holds themes of heavy dark subjects like genocide and PTSD and trauma.
Gotta say this might just be the most under-rated animated show in the last... umm, well, ever really. Fabulous story, great characters, some real punch the air moments and everything delivers in the end (not something that can be said of many shows these days). Hell they even managed to do the full five seasons under Netflix, truly an achievement in itself! But maybe above all of that the voice acting is absolutely phenomenal. Just focus on Adora and Catra here for a prime (heh, sorry) example. Aimee Carrero brings so much to her performance, from the brave hero at the start, to downright terrified when she's holding a dying Catra to *bleep*ing terrifying when Adora goes full She-Ra. And then there's AJ Michalka who really ought to be on Grey DeLisle levels of praise for her work here. From the sheer wrongness of "Hello, Adora" to being at once mocking and (let's be honest here) seductive during the fight and tearing your heart out with a single "...Promise?". And the best part? For all that this is a phenomenal episode both manage to go to even higher levels elsewhere in the show.
9:17 If I'm remembering correctly, he was the runt of the litter and smaller than the others. Not sure if the characters ever actually used that to identify him.
We need more sheraa
Pls do the final episode you're gonna love it
NO WAY. I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED THIS SHOW AND NOW ONE OF MY FAVIORTE TH-camRS IS COVERING IT!!!!
5:31 I DO wish Catra’s trauma was touched upon more the way Glimmer’s was here (though this is the only ep in which it’s shown) cos what Prime put Catra through requires a WHOLE ass chapter to cover! 😥 (they do cover it a little in the following ep ‘Taking Control’ but not NEARLY to the degree Catra’s trauma deserves!)
There are also other times they show her being scared like her hands shaking and her touching her neck when thinking about Prime controlling her/people.
@@vilmublues752 True, I failed to mention that part, I just wish they showed her having more varied reactions to her PTSD flashbacks with things like a panic attack or night terrors instead of just having her act hesitant or touching her neck & nothing else (not that I WANT her to suffer more lol, but show a more raw portrayal of someone who literally went through NUMEROUS forms of torture & abuse)
…..-sighs-…… save the cat…. This episode that had a chokehold on me when it aired…. Welp, my Catradora obsession has been reawakened after over two years. Back at reading fanfics and maybe updating my Catradora fanfics I’ve put off for the past couple of years🥲
Honestly, I think "Princess Prom" from season 1 is the best episode!
Entrapta is all our favourites.
WE LOVE THE BADASS FRUITY VILLAIN MEN THEY SLAAAYYYY
YOU SHOULD REACT TO THE WHOLE SERIES---- THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
Man this was just a reaction and still made me cry shdjdjdjd
OMG YES FINALLY I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO YAYYYYYY
You NEED to watch amphibias highest rated episode
sniff* sniff*
thank you, matthew 🥲
About Primes noble goal. I'm pretty sure that he already conquer whole universe. Only place that was free was Eternia. And this planet was safe bc Mara, previous She--ra kick out this planet into pocket dimiension. Or something like this.
Happy 4th of July Mathew!!!!
