On another note: if you had the power to teleport, would you really be doing cardio?
Fr. It would make sense that Glimmer got some chubs
I don’t even do cardio now
I never realized that lol nice point
(❍ᴥ❍ʋ) how did you know I’d go there.....
Same with Spinnerella, since she can fly
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.
the fact that every character is different (with different body type, skin tone, age, sexuality, etc) but everyone in the fandom still loves them it's just amazing.
it's waaaaay easier to relate to someone in the show now and + THEY'RE ALL SO CUUUUTE (especially entrapta)
is entrapta your favourite character?
fresh avocado yeah lol
@@paigek.5736 she's cute and makes everyone feel happy (uwu), I get it
And plus it really annoys me when shows try and be exclusive but like put only black people like we don’t mean get rid of white people we mean like a mix
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.
Mouse The final season was so good, I’m glad I accidentally stumbled into this fandom
@@Originalguineapigmaster I watched it all in one day!! Omg I loved it so much
Kile Selly same, the ending made me cry
Frogg doggs it was unexpected!!!
@@ryley1288 in a good way or a bad way ? 😂
80’s shera: botox
present shera: gay
edit: lmao some of y’all can’t take a joke and it shows
Yes
U aren't wrong tho
Assuming the original isn't gay
Yes
Ah yes She ra made me open my third gay eye
honestly...scorpia and entrapta win his series for me.theyre such adorable cinnamon rolls
s c o r p i a xD
Yeah abuse is fun🤗
@@heymewisconsin7841 I was talking about them as characters and the way they react to things. I hadn't gotten to where the abuse got that bad when this video came out so i didnt comment on it. I do wish those two could have safe and loving relationships but that's not in the story yet.
Bow is best girl
Am I missing something? When did Entrapta and Scorpia abuse one another? I thought only Catra abused them?
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.
Frosta's design in the reboot just screams cultural appropriation.
I watched the original as a kid, now in my 40s and I am loving this new version, I got my 5 year old into it so I could have an excuse to watch it.... my wife also watches it now! 😂
@@kc_9970
What culture would she be appropriating?
@@Carabas72 The Inuit/Eskimos.
@@kc_9970
You might want to look up what actual Inuit garb looks like. If anything, Frosta's outfit is reminicent of medieval European fantasy royalty outfits.
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.
@@angryman1206 Oh boo-hoo! There, there. It's okay, keep crying.
@@angryman1206 but they're not fat and bow can't be a lesbian cause he is a boy
I don't know. Maybe because old She-ra didn't go to the prom with nazi and acted more like adult in the middle of a war zone. Then a stupid child who had slumber parties.
I think the original had a different story a dynamic one, Netflix Shera is like a slashfic romance
Because the art style of the new one is absolutely terrible. Looks like one of the bargain bin dating sims on Steam. It's low-effort. Looks like my first attempt to draw manga.
I just finished all 5 seasons in a week
Can confirm
show good
Me too
i just started it.
ME and my sis finished it in 2 days
I watched it in 4-5 days and then rewatched it😂
i just finished season 5 and its the best season
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)
FINALLY someone SAID it
Because it called genre and themeing the shows become popular because their limitations and focus and how their aimed at different people with different tastes , but now you have modern shows run by people with limited tastes running shows they hated they only care about owning the famous brand and ip or forcing their own genre onto others and hiding behind the term modernisation
Saw this back in the day when people calling themselves anime fans only truly liked shonen shows tried to force their limited likes onto everyone else calling every other show trash
Fans aren't interested in telling the same story their intested in stories that respect the genre,
The showrunners could have made their own show or made it a spin off but now the fandom will have a split fan base who will only watch their version of the show
Carl Jackson Some fans maybe, but I personally like it when creators explore new themes and ideas WITHIN a same genre. Genres evolve all the time, and that’s a good thing, at least in my opinion. If they never do they become static and repeat over and over the same things in the same ways. You can change forms of a genre without changing its core.
They could have done a better job. Just look at the orginal Teela on He-Man and then look at her from the 2002 reboot for a good redesign.
Exactly!!, you couldn’t have said it better
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
Same
yes. because you're not an 80's kid that grew up with the good version, who's kids ALSO grew up with the good version.
Zero Cool or maybe just maybe....he has his own opinion? Gasp! I know what a concept.
Same here
I do
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.
Lona Adams Randomness It’s... kind of a cartoon. If you don’t like cartoonish art... maybe don’t watch cartoons? Lmao?
I grew up with this show, and I agree with you
I also grew up with the He-Man universe, and I loved this cartoon.
@@nyxnightlinger7719 its practically is an cartoon

“Not queens!”
*season 3 comes out*
OOOF
I hear you bud. I watched this video after season 4.
And technically most of them are the rulers of their kingdoms.
@@Janoha17 Yeah
@@Janoha17 does Entrapta even have a kingdom besides three cooks?
@@hbluemole6941 yes , we just didnt see it probably since she was with the hoard the whole time
"80s She-ra could be someone's MAMA!" lol that made me laugh way too hard, love this video!
because they were grown ass women. not teens.
Haha best line
if she covered her skin more, we could go for grandma
Ahhhhh no, I can't say that I know very many women who are "somebody's moma" and LOOK quite like THAT 2:14. In fact, most of the women I've met who've had children are overweight and are middle-aged or elderly.
@@ianfindly3257 Yeah THAT remark was STUPID! They might not have look like TEENYBOPERS, no, but they didn't look like PARENTS either. They looked like people in their twenties.
Atleast they didn't take it into the same direction teen Titans go went.
Exactly
teen titans go is a parody, it's supposed to be stupidly annoying
@@ohword9541 I know. That's cool n all, but that wouldn't do this storyline the justice it deserves.
DreamWorks is better than that.
That sentence gave me chills
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.
@Christine Taggart no, but 'Princess of Power' sounds like a really good one.
unlucky911 I’m a teenage girl, I liked original shera more because she was feminine and it showed me that it’s ok to be very feminine (no, I’m not talking about boobs, I mean skirts and sweetheart necklines) and still be a strong warrior. But that’s just my opinion!
unlucky911 also, adora is a total crackhead in both shows.
@@TillDeathWeDoArtz I mean the new Shera had Adora wearing dresses, so she's showing you that it's okay to be feminine too.
Just Gaming Sweden that’s not a dress lmao, it’s more of a hi low blouse with spanks.

Pfft-
@@kayleesprizz6984 Same here! XD
It's kind of creepy how all these men are angry that TEENAGE PRINCESSES are actual kids and not overly sexualized.
It's kinda creepy that you want your cartoon characters to be adolescent girls.
@@thisistheendpt2 I mean like, do you want kids watching the show to be like 'OH YEA, WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A SKINNY PERFECT UNREACHABLE GODESS OF A WOMAN!' or do you want the kids to focus on a normal relatable kid like themselves growing into themselves and teaching them it's ok to be themselves, whatever themselves might be. I guess it's your pick and choose.
Original She-Ra was a Woman, not teeneger.
And original series was waay better and designs were better.
@@clownlesbian503 Actually I want for them to strive for perfection. To be and look the best they can. And She Ra original was great role model.
Out of shape girls are not good role models. It is not healthy to be fat.
@I won't tell you my nameDifferent yes. But to not strive for perfection?!To not be the best they could be?! That is not ok. And it is wrong and unhealthy. And many characters in that show are fat. Original show is 1000000 times better.
The redesign of Catra is just... *nosebleed*
Wait til you see Season 5 Catra *swoon*
They cut off her beautiful mane of hair 😢 (jk I love her)
I did miss the mane, but she did look surprisingly good in that haircut.
new catra is 1000% better and cooler xD
"Hey Adora"
*nosebleeds in cursive*
Honestly, the best thing about the reboot (aside from the diversity) is CATRADORA AND SPINTOSSA
Spintossa!!! I love them so much they are such a nice couple.
I don't thing Lance and George have a ship name but them too!
AND HORDAPTA
And scorfuma, seamista, might hope, glimbow, entrapdak, etc
iiLolo_x y e s
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.
people know diversity exist, doesn't mean they need to lower their standards . there's a reason why many people hate the new designs , me included , the colors are off the drawings are off and everyone is too short, child like . it's a mistake because not only children love sher ra . adults do too . and now many are disappointed . and no need to tell them "it's for kids" in business it's not wise to push customers away, no matter the business and no matter the cause
@@liliks14 newsflash idiot, they look child-like because they're C H I L D R E N
@@liliks14 MOST OF THEM ARE TEENAGERS , EVEN IN THE ORIGINAL SHOW EXCEPT THE ORIGINAL SHOW MADE THEM LOOKED LIKE ADULTS
Better than preaching neocon hatred like you want to.
Adam looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger why should his sister look like an android
Plus this show has such a diversity to it that young children watching it can finally have something to relate to. Young children of different ethnicities and body types have someone to look up to and even young gay kids can look up to Bow’s dads, Spinerella and the other girl( forgot her name) and even the main character. I wish I had grown up with a show like this but I’m just happy for the children that will be able to watch this show without having their sexuality, skin color or body be portrayed as wrong and not normal
Spinerella's wife's name is Netossa.
Thx
and Catra and adora since they’re canon now (yay) also double trouble being non-binary
YEEEESSSSS! To all of this!
I must agree, I proudly say that my children will grow watching series like this master piece, such as Voltron
Just finished the show with my wife and two year old daughter who loved the action scenes and the opening music. I feel bad for anyone that is hung up on (superior) design changes. This show has something for everyone and overall I think the depth, general writing, and character development for all of the characters is leaps and bounds ahead of the original series of both He-Man and She-Ra. The original never made me FEEL something. Meanwhile Princess of Power managed to pull some tears out of me. 10/10 show. Wish it could have gone on longer, but I know it'd probably ruin the magic and lose the spark.
and it helps that catra no longer makes people's ears bleed like she did in the 80's one
@@darthslain
*MRRREEEWWAHHHH*
@@darthslain lmao the shade thrown
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.
Talking about the re desgins I personally really love Catras, its like they got super creative with it I mean actually making her a cat and all I just really love that. I also really love Catras character, she had a big character development through thr show amd I just reallu luke that as well as the show its self. Sad it was short in my opionion but I might re watch it again anyways 😂
Yes, they all look like anime karakters.
@@annic7995 what the heck is a karakter? you mean character?
I agree with everything you said
I think you're totally right with the different climates!! Perfuma is in the sun a lot so sunny lighter hair and darker skin makes sense. Frosta is in a cold icy environment so she would have dark hair and possibly east and South Asian ancestry like inuits.
inuits weren't east or south asian, closest would've been the north, like the russians, polish, and other more northern countries.
Polish person here, dude I appreciate making us vikings but honestly, use a map
Cold climate people usually have light hair and skin (think Nordic people) people in hotter climates usually have more melanin present in their skin and darker hair (think African through to Egyptian) so Perfuma would have dark hair and deeper skin (picture Arabian) and Frosta would be pale skinned with platinum hair. Although animals think ‘Sun Bears’ have dark fur (I think black) ‘Polar Bears’ have white fur.
DragonSen that’s not natural though, very Australian (which is cold climate Europeans in a hot country hence the light hair and tanned skin) where as the indigenous people here have deep skin and dark hair. I was responding to the comment of skin and hair colour verse climate. Not all surfers are tanned either, I live in Australia and at the beach.
To add to that east and south Asian skin tones are fair because they believe fair skin to be a sign of status as side from that their skin is often deeper in tone, Thai , Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia- people from these countries often have deeper complexions as unlike upper Europeans, they are outside more.
Watch how Frosta react on He-Man in original.
I definitely prefer the redesigns. They're much more diverse and are their own character. There is nothing worse than copy paste characters.
I’m 42 years old, so I remember the original series when I was a child. I just started watching watching the new series, (well because I’m home for the time being) and I must say, I freakin love it. I’m not entirely through it yet, but I’m a little disappointed that I haven’t seen He-Man yet. Great video, I must subscribe.
Whos your favorite character so far?
@Rice, Rice, Baby, I’m interested to see where Glimmer and Scorpia go and what becomes of She Ra in Season 5. Which I have season 5 marked on my calendar.
@@WiseAssGamer cool!
@@WiseAssGamer now have you watched s5 yet? did u like how the series wrapped up?
Ariana Solórzano Go to my channel, I just did a review. I thought it was awesome.
Me when i look at the old one: “Why do they look like the same person but with different cloths and hair styles”
Me when I look at the new one: “I love this”
Not to mention the voice acting of the old versions. :P Catra was basically unlistenable.
@@mountainhun
I watched some clips and I cringe whenever I hear Catras voice, no offense to the voice actor tho.
I absolutely love the old one, because it’s art style is breathtaking and little m egret up with it, and I do LOVE the reboot and watch like 17 episodes a day over and over again, but I think it’s kind of gross how some people *cough* Hajinae Hinata *cough* watches SOME of the clips or hasn’t even seen the show and decides which version is better. Only people that have actually watched the original can understand that. Although, in the re-boot Hordak is SO much better, especially how the creators even include him having a friendship, or perhaps a ramintical relationship with princess Entrapta. Also the diversity of the characters is just great!
BUT you can NOT properly judge something or compare to another without actually WATCHING it. The new She-Ra was actually BUILT off the old one, and so you need to understand that without the original, there would be no one now.
I do prefer the new one, though.
@@filo4854
Um?... When did I ever say one version was better?
I just said I cringe with Catras voice...
Re-read my comment please, you are clearly confused.
Also, I'm not allowed to have an opinion on the original besides 'OMG so amazing!!' anymore? Why can't you just respect some people don't like certain shows? I have literally gone through EVERY clip on TH-cam that I can find, and the show ISN'T for me.
Why is that so hard to accept?!
Unpopular opinion:
Every damn princess looked the same in the old one.
I prefer the new ones because they all look different
Same here, Blitzbitch.
I agree.
same, plus old one all look like someone's mom
I get they were all designed that way to sell dolls of them (which all had the same mold) but outside their outfit Christ I can't tell them apart
They looked the same but where good looking and pleasing to the eyes. These are different but unappealing.
Definitely an improvement. Having all the characters look the same just makes things bland and makes it hard to tell them apart. I just get frustrated with cartoons that do that, it feels lazy and it expects me to do all the work learning the small differences between characters. And then you get all those hilarious situations where the characters go "hey, that picture looks just like you!" or something and the picture looks the same as everybody else. This hapoens so much, it's hilarious. And annoying.
Plus anybody who complains about diversity and representation can go to hell. Especially people who complain about it in kids shows. The She-Ra reboot handled it well and it was good and made the show more inclusive. It didn't do the awkward tokenism thing either, all the characters are written as people rather than representatives. There's literally nothing to complain about here.
Also re: fat characters: THEY LITERALLY HAVE MAGIC POWERS. Also people have this weird misconception about body fat automatically meaning people are weak and out of condition when it's not the case. Sure it's not the best fit for many sports (such as anything requiring a lot of jumping) but for strength competitions and for many martial arts, body fat is not a problem. You can be fat and have muscles. In fact a lot of actual strength competition athletes (as opposed to bodybuilders) are pretty stocky. Different body types are good for different kinds of action. Besides none of the characters are even close to being fat enough for it to be all that significant.
Yeah, like why in the hell should Phoenix and Professor X be athletic? They can do some crazy shit with their brains. They can fuck up entire global populations in their PJs.
I was disappointed that the main character was blonde haired with blue eyes, but I know it was like that in the original, so while watching the show, it only briefly annoyed me a few times. Slightly sick of the white savior archetype, especially with the race problems we're having in the USA right now, with white people apparently feeling like we're being oppressed?
@@NoRAdAlphaMoo huh?
@@rey6708 with all the whiney manbabies out there complaining that they took away She-Ra's tits, I kind of wish they had made her black, just to piss them off even more.
But I'm only barely annoyed enough to make a comment on youtube, so whatever.
I have no problem with diversity, my problem is that they changed the character design and personalities. No one can convince me that this show is any where as good as the original.
Why I think they redesigned her:
*she looks better*
So you like kids vs adults. The original was a grown woman not a teen.
@@hamhockbeans you do know the show is made for kids/teens right? not to mention that her original design just wasn't very good, her new one, kid or nor, looks better
VERY subjective. I don’t care for her new design. Not even compared to her old design. Just in general.
I just love the redesignged characters.
I'm happy to see an LGBT couple, different races, ages and body types.
Sensei Unikornis 👏
Hazbin Hotel has better LGBT representation than this load of hot, steaming shit.
@@kc_9970 NGL both shows are great. Alastor #1 tho 😂 I hope they come out with the actual series episodes soon
@@kc_9970 I feel like Hazbin is nothing like She Ra.
I'll be happy when the LGBT couple actually DOES something.
Am I the only one who noticed that She-Ra Mara's design is reminiscent of the original 80s She-Ra; having high heels, feminine facial features and an adult body?
Isabel Brokaw I like to believe that the orginal She-Ra was Mara. Granted, her name was Adora in the original but this is a reboot
@@poofpoof7752 that's actually a really cool theory
She still has an adult body as she's the same age, she's just got a new body shape since all the original bodies looked like clones.
That’d be such a good way of getting around having include he man at some point
@@turquoisecrow4513 I'd love to see He-Man eventually introduced too. I'm not a fan of the original series, but since I've gotten into the reboot I've been really excited to see how they will implement the other characters and lore from the original 80s cartoons.
IDK about you, but I would choose the rebooted designs any time over the originals. Especially for Catra,Scorpia and Entrapta
the hord redesigns were awesome! they look so badass... shadow weaver, hordak, scorpia..
Why are those so flat ?
Watch the old one then
Scorpia looks hideous as shit.
@@xenon333 She looks better than she did in the original tbh??? She wasn't really,,, appealing,,,, in any way,, I think it's an improvement
"They're princesses, not queens"
Me, who has finished She-ra: ahahahahahahhahahahah, if that what you think...
I watched the show as a kid because my Aunt loved it and I love how the characters look in both.
Obviously, the old She-Ra would be made to fit the 80’s and the beauty standards for that time.
The new She-Ra is made to represent the new ideals and diversity we know today but honestly the characters are perfect in both and I absolutely love the new reboot
I prefer most of the new designs (this version of Catra is my favorite to date). However, I still love the original designs and the show in general. I love both! And it's perfectly fine to prefer one over the other, but I think both should be respected.
Also, the reason they look like adults in the original is because they are adults. Anyone who claims they are supposed to be 16 is spreading false information. Prince Adam was aged down to 16 in the 2002 series, which Adora/She-Ra never made it into.
I love the new story but reallly hate the new designs
The redesigns are actually a big reason why I watched the show! Catra's in particular really stood out to me, and I loved the diversity.
One thing I've gotta note though; you said Netossa and Spinnerella were teenagers, but I think they're actually adults; mostly in the way they talk; they seem older and more mature (what teenager calles their partner 'darling', after all?). All the same, Spinnerella's body type is nothing to complain about. I, personally, think it makes her look very soft and huggable and I love it and her.
EpikBecky they are written by adults so that could explain that
@@slauderek3195 Imean, all of the characters are written by adults, but with characters like Adora, Bow and Glimmer, they have teenage characteristic and FEEl like teenagers
They're princesses, so they were raised to have manners and be formal
Glimmer looks huggable. The thought of hugging Spinnerella makes me uncomfortable.
Um hi I'm a teenager I call my partner darling
As a huge fan of the original from the 90s reruns, I was skeptical about watching. But honestly, after sitting through all 5 seasons now I’m just so happy. Little 8 year old me felt so seen, Mermista, Frosta and Entrapta I relate to most and the depth they gave each character really hit home for me. Regardless of the nostalgia of the original I hold and cherish, this New She-Ra is everything I would have hoped for as a kid and I’m so happy the Littles of today can feel supported and seen and finally have a full spectrum of characters to relate to. Go new writers! You go!!!
Obviously I'm not a kid anymore nor do I watch cartoons, but from what I've seen, the designs look really good to me. The original ones were kinda... Plain?
Binged it all a few days ago. Entrapta is best girl
Omg yes
Agreed.
I'm more of a Catra fan, but our purple haired technic freak is definitely my secound favorite :)
If only her color scheme was green. She'd complete the Green Techno Gremlin Trinity with Pidge and Peridot...
Michael Savio omg, your right xD
i initially had no idea about this being part of the he-man universe and honestly, now i'm kinda disappointed. i thought it was just a cool new show that reminded me of avatar: the last air-bender in terms of scope and story depth. another american style anime influenced action cartoon with story, depth and character development. now i find that there's all these assholes whinging about it being a remake.
so i went and watched the original. oh my god, it's hilarious. the pacing is terrible, everything is terrible.. animation, voice acting, dialogue, story execution etc etc etc i mean the new one isn't the greatest cartoon i've ever seen, but it is good.
props to it for being the original show, and good for you if you grew up with it. it might mean something to you and that's cool, but look at it objectively for christ's sake.
Thank you! I rewatched an original he man episode after the show and I couldn't last 5 minutes, I was laughing too hard
@@mayakane9978 Try the 2000 he man show, it was much better.
@@taheahshahdaiah6422 thanks, as much as I talked it down, he man was my childhood, so it's good to know there is a good version of it

Humans have evolved to have different skin tones that correlate to the amount of sunlight in their environment. Most of Africa is black because of how much sun they get whereas England is cloudy a lot of the time so they didn't need the dark skin to survive in their environment. It's not racism or pandering that the princesses are different races it is scientifically accurate
Well, than why BLACK person from sea? Or white in dessert? Producers have in ass sun etc. Just put races cos it is now political correct. Im ok with new desing and races but make theory like yours that reason is realistic not propaganda and tyle is naive, very.
Bruh,, it’s a show about princesses, magical swords and aliens. Were you expecting it to be scientifically accurate? Lol
Yeah, no shit. They aren't even from earth, their from etheria.
@@sirhana What propaganda, exactly? "Races other than white people exist"? Wow such fake news much corrupt
Also aesthetic reasons. Mermista's dark skin with her dark blue hair and how they did it has a really nice color pallet and look to it.
I have no issues with redesigns. I just look for character designs that resemble or share similar bits of the original outfits
So, in your opinion, do these character designs resemble or share similar bits of the original outfits or not?
There outfits and designs match what kids would wear today if they were warrior princess . I doubt as a kid I would wear a corset and a mini skirt while trying to fight crime.
People who complain about how much better the original was really need to watch it again. I mean, seriously, it was horrible. There was rarely any character growth. The side kick voices were akin to broken glass on a chalk board, and the music and backgrounds were extremely repetitive.
i know everyone wants to remember the "good old days" with rose coloured glasses, but sometimes you need to take those glasses off to properly make a judgment call on something.
People say the animation sucks in the reboot but I just watched an ep of 80s one on YT and the running animation consisted of maybe 2 or 3 frames on repeat. Also, all this SJW talk and yet the 80s one had morals jammed down your throat every 10 seconds AND a PSA at the end that recapped all the morals they jammed down your throat for the last 20 minutes or so.
@@imjessietr29 It's almost as if the original was trying to teach kids shit, what a shocker. Also if you're getting pissy about that then you sure won't like Sailor Moon
@@leonishikino6873 Mate, they explained how stupid it is to complain about the "sjw are pushing their morals down everyone's tHrOaT" when it is a reboot of a show that actually has done it in an obnoxious manner
@@leonishikino6873 Wasn't "Sailor Moon says" a dub thing? And given how much Sailor Moon was censored, we sure didn't apparently want to teach our kids about lesbians and other stuff.
Ok look, the original might have not been amazing but you also shouldn’t shit on it. Don’t forget the remake that you seem to like so much more wouldn’t even have been made if the original hadn’t. The original was good for the time it was made in. It’s from the 80’s for crying out loud!
I really like the redesigns

Entrapta has the best design for her character, every element just screams Engineer and eccentric
I fecking LOVE Entrapta
Lets be honest the new designs are way better. Every other character in the old series looked exactly the same. Same facial features, same body type, same height. Compared to those designs, the new ones are an improvement.
Not really buddy teach your own I guess
Actually, the old versions had more detail and texture.
@@greenliongirl07 But detail and texture have more to do with the art style than the design
@@sirstotes OMG SOMEONE WHO GETS IT
@@sirstotes Actually they are elements of design along with shape, color, lines, and shading. That's high school art 1. To say it's the art style, well I prefer something with more detail and in these newer shows I look for shading. These characters feel visually flat 95% of the time.
They're quite the improvement i must say 😄👌
I agree
@@Abraham-yi3uo yeah. other than that, it does seem like an improvement.
well it kinda looks less like jessica rabit and more human somehow.....win win.
@@diegokaqui60 no no no, she looks more like a *child* now. less like a human really, as its less of a realistic style (as they toned up the comedy in this series, as all these reboots seem to do)

@@Abraham-yi3uo I'm fine with that
I fell in love with Catra in the first episode and HATED that I knew EXACTLY where her character was going.
Kingofgames2k omg Ike I liked Catra but she’s a traitor
Idk why I always prefer the bad guys
@@uncensoredd But, she isn't a traitor... Adora is.
@@Jockster109 YES! So many of my friends have told me that they can't like Catra because she betrayed Adora. But see they don't understand. Adora betrayed Catra, not the other way around.
@@mayabeck7316 I mean, yeah. Catra should obvs change side cus the Horde is evil, but it's not her fault she feels betrayed.
I went in partially blind. I knew of she-ra but he man gave me nightmares as a kid so I avoided it also I could not stand the art style then let alone now. I'm 19 now but I watched the re make with my niece it wasn't that long ago that I was 14 going through changes and creating interpersonal relationships outside of my family. Despite being in a literally world wide war they still go through the struggles that kids go threw while growing up. Hell even Catra's character is relatable (not excusing her actions). I think it was beautifully remade the artstyle is easy on the eyes the characters are distinct and it's great that they can be rep for kids who usually don't see people like them being heroes. I 10/10 would recommend for anyone of any age to watch it
I guess G. I. Joe was not on the watchable kartoon list either, huh?

My problem with people bashing Spinnerella is that people don’t realize you CAN be fit and still be heavy, as well as on the flip side that you can be THIN and be very unhealthy. My best example is a female Olympic weightlifter (I forgot her name, but with some simple digging you’ll definitely find her) She, especially compared to other female Olympic athletes of different sports, is much heavier and “fatter” than the rest of them. But hell, she worked nearly nonstop for YEARS and is just as healthy as male bodybuilders. As for being thin and unhealthy, just look at most college students around schools and such, most look like they have healthy builds and body types, but not all of them participate in sports or outside activity, and probably are living off of snack foods and ramen. Not exactly the healthiest of meals.
tl;dr is basically Looks Don’t Define Your Health.
True.
I seriously don't understand why people think she is even fat or unhealthy. I'm a little bigger than her, but I still hike up mountains, ski, bike 20+ miles at a time, and go to the gym 3 times a week. With all the exercise she gets, she is definitely healthy.
And on the flip side, I personally am consistently told I look athletic when in reality I’m 120lbs of “What do you MEAN cake isn’t a food group??” I have no problem with her design (I genuinely love it tbh) and look forward to seeing more of her character in S2 hopefully.
Having a layer of fat over your muscles is healthy. Having nothing but fat with no muscle built up is unhealthy. When you build muscle, you burn fat, so there's no way you can exercise and yet still have a high rate of fat on you. You will be bigger, but that'll be because of the muscles, not the fat.
@@ValD98 exactly
“That right there could be someone’s mama!”
That’s True I even thought she looked like an adult when I was younger.
i thought when i was growing up she was 30 xD
That because Adora and most of the cast were adults ,at least early to mid twenties with a few older like Madame Raz and Queen Angelica.
Original She-Ra: Who are you?
New She-Ra: I'm you, but gayer
"Kids don't relate to characters that are older than they are."
Yet if you go by some of the creator's tweet, Entrapta is 29 years old. (not that you can tell)
And Bow passed Adora and Glimmer off as fellow students from college to his parents in one episode. (not that we know anything of a formal education system in Etheria)
I don't really concern myself too much with it. The show has good writing and a strong narrative and that's what I'm here for.
I saw that Adora and catra are 17-18 bow is 19 and glimmer is 17-18 (searched that up) XD
LOOOOL, good writing? What a joke. In your dreams only.
Entraptra was originally 14...Noelle had to tweet that because of complaints about her being 14 in a relationship with a grown man. And no, she didn't want to change it originally because of the 'Free Love Movement' she was part of.
Free Love Movement or Age Free Movement is nasty business and I shouldn't have to say why either.
sirhana what about the show’s writing do you not like?
That line is so fucking weird. When Spiderman was created he made a splash because he was a teenager but it's not like he stopped being popular when he grew out of college.
Sure you had Superboy but Superman was extremely popular. Most of the classic heroes are over the age of 21. One of the main appeal to kids was to imagine growing up into a heroic persona. This is why the 40s Captain Marvel was such a gold template.
My main questions are:
Why do all the characters have really prominent face shadows? It makes it look like they're constantly blushing, especially on the lighter skinned characters (that and it gives the impression of really pronounced foreheads).
And, what's the deal with Catra's Heterochromia? Was that thrown in for gits and shiggles or is there something important to do with that?
(Edit: just looked it up and apparently Heterochromia isn't that uncommon in certain species of domestic cat, with Catra's specific eye colors being fairly common)
The heterochromia looks cool
It's 'cause she's a cat. Some cats have different coloured eyes.
EnderTroller the blushing is just a part of the art style (which i think is cute) and i have no idea what heterochromia is... it’s not really a word... but if it has anything to do with seeming in hetro, i’m confused on why that would be taken for laughs.
@@bigalonBitstrips I know. That said, it's typically white-haired cats that are more susceptible to Heterochromia, and Catra has Dark Grey hair. A cool nod to real life cats, i guess, if not slightly inaccurate.
@@billiebitch4191 Heterochromia is a word, it's when an animal is born with two different eye colors.
My mom introduced me to the original series when I was young, so I had already seen it. Despite that though, I absolutely love the redesigns. Representation is important. I'm so glad to see the diversity springing up from the show. This show is going to be great! I can't wait for season 2!
I agree that the redesigns are better. I just don’t think we should be focusing too much on representation and diversity. Make characters and a show like you want them to be and how you imagine them. For this it makes sense for the diversity because of the fact that they’re from different regions and places
Representation is not really a good seeing how marvel does their characters these not so much.
Critique for the new She-Ra cartoon. Being someone from the 90's I grew up with a lot of cartoons from the 80's. But I've never had much passion / interest in She-Ra, so I have no nostalgic attachment to the original, so I can be as extensive as possible in my review.
But I give credit where it is due, and this will not make the mark any favor other than serve as a warning to the next creator who dares to reflect his own version of the program and for all creators on the dangers of trying to appeal to the superficial concepts of people like the so-called warriors of social justice who want to alienate the majority of humanity that lives today instead of worrying about the quality of their design and whether or not it is interesting is stimulating.
This show is more about satisfying the personal desires of its creator using the classic character as a platform (hi Noelle Stevenson), and this is very shameful and myopic for several reasons. The main heroine with a design and a personality like Adora is not bad, but the drawings of her alter ego leave nothing to the imagination, and honestly it is quite dull and masculine even (She-Ra). The original was a young woman who turned into a beautiful Amazonian heroine, while this new She-Ra transforms from a teenage into a bigger teenager, who looks like a giant dwarf with a lion wig.
The fact is that Adora is apparently more pleasant (well-designed) than the part of her that supposedly makes her a heroine (She-Ra). In addition, it seems to fix much more the underlying lesbian attraction of the creator of this cartoon (Noelle Stevenson) that is created between Adora and Felina (Catra) making it appear that it is practically everything that the creator wanted was to approach a lesbian adolescent romance. Is it about saving the world or keeping us in suspense how long will it take until these two resolve to come out of the closet and get it over with? With this and other LGBTQ nuances, it is difficult to define who the target audience is, and in each episode the protagonists really are children. But who is the target of the drawing? Are they even the little kids ?, Are the most liberal old fans ?.
It is strange that while they say that history has its foot on the ground and a certain magical realism, and everyone is at war, but the teenage villains do not seem so evil, and the heroes act as if they are having a date or going for a walk things got serious.
The character Entrapta was originally a villain in the old program, but here she started now as a princess and spontaneous friend who changing sides with a poor lie and scientific interests (this is strange and lazy).
Do not mention designs that are too disproportionate in almost all characters that are not Adora and Feline (Catra). Shimmering left the heroine with personality to be equal to She-Ra in reliability to suddenly be a short, fat brat who prides herself on disappearing. The Archer looks like the guy who's only there to be the comic relief, whatever. The shape of the faces of the other girls is very similar to dolls, but many do not match physically with the parts of their bodies. Another thing, think is if Ventania (She-Ra's horse) had little screen time when he was with She-Ra (Adora) every step of the way in the old drawing as He-Man and the Warrior Cat. Perhaps this could have distracted the public from its new and terrible design if she mounted her flying horse longer than she remained like a giant dwarf with a blonde wig. This new She-Ra design has the Korra Legend style mixed with Steven Universe. The former relied on terrifying stories and character development, but it does away with the popularity of its predecessor (Legend of Anng).
In conclusion, this new cartoon from the new She-Ra is another themed experiment to test if society is already liberal enough to have a LGBTQ heroine as the protagonist of a good show. The animation has more flaws than the script, the shading and the colors were not very good, they need to improve this, and the design did not please me anything, it draws life if in 1980 they had the ability to produce an animation with that quality was of if it was expected that this new one was at least the height, unfortunately this did not happen, the trait and very irregular in some scenes, it seems that it was done lazily, I kind of felt that at times it was copying SU.
Maybe you have a small chance of getting a second and third season, but that's all. Otherwise, with all that is established, there is no chance that this new She-Ra can go as far as or be as significant as the new "Voltron." This program (She-Ra) could give lessons on how not to adapt a classic franchise that cross generations. This design is more of a joke in bad taste than a franchise restart.
@@slauderek3195 thing is, no matter what there will be people who will see it as pandering. Just look at this little comment section. Let's face it: cartoons and comics were really friggin white back in the day. Racism is still a thing, but especially back then did people like me not really matter, so there were only a few characters of color. It doesn't at all represent society. So whenever I hear someone complain about diversity, while the world we live in is so diverse itself, all I hear is "I want everything to stay white (and straight) forever".
Yes, representation is improtant, but it has to be done seriously. Just throwing a bunch of differend colors, shapes and orientations into a show is not enough to make it good.
The original She-Ra characters looked like adults because they were adults. And yes because all their toys used the same mold, but you could use the same mold for child character designs too. Or ponies.
But the point was that the She-Ra characters were no more intended to be kids than the characters in GI Joe. Maybe that made then less relatable, but it was also supposed to make them inspiring. Adult protagonists in kids' shows are also supposed to be role models, getting kids to think, "I want to be like that when I grow up." instead of "He/she is like me!"
Well, it would actually DEPEND. They could be people in their LATE teens (19, 18, or 17 years of age) and look like THAT.
@@ianfindly3257 Which is still considered legally adult in many places, and would certainly be considered "adult" by little kids that the show was intended for.
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 I dont think a 17 year old girl/boy would have defined cheek bones and clear skin with a fit body and a deep old voice.
They actually weren't adults just looked and sounded like them...
They were suppose to be young adults, like 18-22 or something like that in the 80s. I think Glimmer was suppose to be younger. Adora was 19/20 I believe. Remember they are suppose to be fighting a war against the Horde who already captured the whole Etheria, except the whispering woods and the first five episodes see them retaking the Kingdom of Brightmoon.
I still enjoy the show, despite it's inherent flaws and whatnot.
Yeah, there's no such thing as a "perfect show," they all have their inherent flaws. The question is, "Do I like the show enough to overlook its flaws?" or in some cases "Are the flaws what make the show so enjoyable?"
same.
@@toavaxxok
And "Is the show good enough that the fandom should forgive the flaws?"
@@jasminewadsworth1983 you can probably "forgive" the flaws regardless, as long as you're still aware of them
The first 5 episodes were garbage, the one's after that were ok, but the last episode was complete garbage.
GUYS! GUYS! GUYS! Calm the heck down! This is a reboot, therefore it’s not supposed to be a carbon copy of the original. It’s supposed to look different, feel different, express itself differently. Both shows have so much to offer!! The reboot has lovable characters with a growing plot. Yes, the characters are teenagers! Kids! They’re kids!! That gives the show so much spunk and liveliness!! For all of those nostalgia people, I get it. The creators of the reboot altered many of the things you grew up with, but change is good! Change is refreshing and exciting! We have all been presented with a new show and we must give it a try. I, for one, enjoy it very much. Whether you like it or not is out of my control. Just please don’t not like it because it’s not like the original. It’s not. It’s different. It’s unique. That uniqueness is why you should see it for yourself. There’s more to a book than its cover...
The backlash to Spinnerella was straight up fat phobia, I can’t see how anyone would dislike the new design
Encouraging kids to “strive to perfection” and that the new she ra “is encouraging obesity” mindset is how you encourage eight year old girls to stárve themselves to gain the perfect hourglass figure. How you teach Pòc children that it’s normal to be white and weird to be anything else. How you create insècurities and weight problems with literal toddlers. It is a kids show
Perfect doesn’t exist. Don’t try to make kids think they have to be a specific body shape or height or skin color to be accepted in society
I’m ashamed to say I was against it in the beginning because I grew up with the original and don’t care for the new animation style, BUT once I gave it a chance I fell in love with it. Beautiful and well written, love it.
not once does the show push or force any type of agenda, it just has representation. it doesn’t force you to think anything. yet people are still claiming there’s an sjw agenda
It is though. It's just that the "agenda" is "hey, different types of people exist, isn't that cool?"
Sort of like how the "gay agenda" basically amounts to people wanting to live normal lives like everyone else, who also happen to be gay.
Ironysandwich yeah that’s true, but if you just take a step into any public setting you’ll see the exact same thing: people who don’t all look the same, and who have different sexualities. it’s honestly just realism, yet people are getting pissed off, because of it.
That just comes from people who don’t fully understand the show and just see it as a show of white main characters all get changed to different ethnicities.
@@Ironysandwich Is the degeracy that goes on in gay pride parades like children being allowed around male strippers part of people living their normal lives as well?
Ive seen so many people acting like literally every character is walking around with 50 pride flags taped to them yelling "IM GAY" ....but they just....have implied and canon gay people.....like in real life....
I was She-Ra for Halloween when I was in first grade. The reboot had most likely not even been thought up yet. If I had had a show with this much diversity and aCTUAL PERSONALITIES Y'KNOW I might've chosen a character I identified with more, like Scorpia. I saw the original show first, and I loved it, but the reboot is so much better.
Finally! Someone else who has watched the original and thinks that the new one is an upgrade
Different types of character designs is just more interesting and creative. It'd be boring if all characters looked the same

Honestly, I have never liked Catra's old design.
I hated her voice more then anything
Same here, i prefer Catra's new design better then old one!
That was Catra?
And the screechy mewoy voice
@Maxine Myburgh pretty spot on
I wasn't even aware until now that people dislike the new designs? Like do you have eyes?
I simply don't see how in a modern world anyone would prefer the old she-ra designs. The new ones give them more identity and personality.
I went into it with no bias, because I didn't watch She-Ra or He-Man when I was little (I was all about the Transformers, Ninja Turtles, and DuckTales)... And the only design I wasn't thrilled about was She-Ra herself, specifically her costume. Lukewarm at best, even after finishing the first season. She did get a more compete costume design in the last episode or so which I liked alot more, but it still feels kind of bland to me. How I'd fix it:
+ The shorts are kinda' awkward. I would have gone the Carol Danvers Captain Marvel route and made them just straight-up white pants, maybe ditch the skirt-ish bits.
+ Make the gold parts of her costume look shiny, metallic. Those parts of her costume always feel so bland and really bring it down for me.
+ Get more ornate with the gold piece design on her chest and with her headband/tiara, they both feel super lackluster, flimsy, and incomplete. Again, the design in the last episode helped, mostly for the tiara. I feel the torso, they kind of just got lazy with it.
+ The boots. Why are they like marshmallows? I say reshape them to be sleeker.
@Colonel Bean Yeah...I get that. But I still don't like it. x-x;
Agree on everything, except that I LOVE marshmallows boots
I like your ideas, the trouble is just that even more crybaby adult men would complain about "how masculine" she-ra would look and bla bla, I believe her outfit is gonna change over the seasons but the creators just stepped carefully into her design change y'know?
Adding complexity to the design will suck the souls out of more animators so that’s why the designs are very simple looking
@@platina1502 Very true. Guys need to get off it that they get to decide how women should look...---I certainly hope it changes. I thought it looked better in the final episode, concerning the headpiece. But the torso looks like they took a paintbucket to it. ^^;
This reboot means something rlly special to me, It has stole a lot of people's hearts because it's just so perfect 💖 it's gonna be a long time til I can get over it lol I love everything about this show; te colors, the textures, the designs, EVERYTHING!, it takes my inner girl out lol 😊
I’ve watch the old Version when I was a kid now I am 40 and I watch it with my five-year-old and I love the new version it’s more realistic to today’s time
The fact that they're calling them out of shape just because they aren't perfectly thin is ridiculous. Like, people can be in shape and also be curvy/heavy/plus sized
as conservative as I am, the show doesn't really push anything SJW-oriented and is actually super amazing omg
OMG! A real life conservative who gave the show a chance and doesn’t automatically assume the mere existence of badass women and people in the cast who aren’t white = SJW agenda ! You are a rare breed on these internets.
I love the show too! They have some amazing villainous characters
a conservative who don't believes that every inclusion attempt is part of an agenda financed by soros. Oh shit that's my day of lucky. Lemme hug ya, i congratulate you
Bow has two dads, Adora and Catra are gay, that purple rainbow girl is fat so girls wont feel insecure about their bodies, all of this modern remake is SJW-oriented and incredibly gay. Also the animation sucks, there's that too.
Palidor maybe it’s because ..... people out there are actually like that??? People are gay, people are fat, people have two dads. That’s normal for some people and it’s not sjw pandering to make characters who are like that. Gay people exist. Get over yourself.
It is pandering by feeling the need to put politics and sexualities in cartoons just to please the LGBT crowd. I cant believe this is what kids have to grow up with now.
I love how they made Glimmer as an adorable chubby girl.
Speaking as someone who’s been super into designing his own characters, and as someone who went into the series blind even while being aware of the original, I love the designs.
Like you said with the original, they were pretty much designed to sell toys and such, and....well, considering the strict design philosophy they were made to follow, you can only tell who the character is by seeing them in action. Nothing is really evoked from the designs pretty much being the same in every aspect with only small changes that aren’t enough for them to stand-out from the crowd. I could probably go and watch the original 80s She-ra, and while I’d enjoy it for the cheesy one-liners and homey acting, I would not be able to recall who is who if I didn’t watch the reboot before it.
Memorabilityis the keyword here. And just having characters that look the same might be helped by memorable personality, but you would not get me being able to detail anyone besides She-Ra because, really, they’re all designed the same save for the male characters who, while I could likely tell by design, the philosophy is the same.
With the reboot, I wouldn’t have that problem, and didn’t as a first time viewer. Every character’s design is diverse, stand-out, and gives hints of what this character is like. I could pretty much infer that Bow was pretty much the heart of the trio from his design alone, and Mermista’s whole model screams apathetic but laidback. If your audience can actively identify a character by how they are in-character through their design alone, then you’ve made a memorable design
Because of that, coupled with how well each one serves the narrative and animation, I’m definitely gonna remember this more as, and I might be overselling it and I don’t care, the best reboot we’ve ever gotten, and I’m going to keep preaching for anyone looking to reboot to TAKE NOTES.
For anyone who hasn't watched the show, definitely check it out. I really enjoyed it, and thought it was very well done!
I honestly love the redisigns. They're just awesome!
This reboot is way better than thundercats roar
Really like how you brought up the topic of toy and character designs, and how the toys effected the characters back in the original show.
Honestly, the show runners and development team behind She-Ra, have really inherited an even greater challenge and task. And the unsatisfied fans are really making it all the more difficult.
See the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series was a massive game changer for the entire M.O.T.U. franchise as a whole. It set the bar/standards at an all-time high and sought to return to the roots of the storyline and provide broader explorations never reached in the original 1980s series. Including in origin stories for each character namely the familiar toyline faces.
The episodes (while mostly self contained stories) were well designed for character development. The world-building, was also just so breath taking, it's like every time you see Eternia and the characters, you get to see something new to enjoy/appreciate.
It should also be noted that the 2002 series also brought back several writers from the original 1980s series. All this made for an excellent reimagining of the classic series.
The 2018 She-Ra series is also trying to do the same thing. But with a completely new and different crew and production team. The showrunners, crew and development team aren't replacing or removing characters, setting and lore, like what was done in the 1990s series. They're just redesigning, altering and changing them to better fit the times, with new ideas and views on how the show should be done and what direction it should take.
The problem here is fans (both old and new) seem to be very against its concept/format, because of preconceived views of how a show and for that matter how a reboot/remake/reimagining of an old show should be done and what direction it should take.
Now this does not mean that all the ideas and views for the 2018 She-Ra series and directions it's taking are the best, in fact there still the possibility it could end up a as a failed series. But what we must understand is that we can't jump to conclusions just yet. Who knows maybe it'll be a excellent reboot/reimagining/remake.
This new show turned She-Ra into a moron who has never seen a horse before.
@@TribalSpacemanTV True, I have to say I'm beginning to doubt the show's quality. After seeing the first Season, it really wasn't as great as I thought it would be.
A lot of the episodes were boarding both good, bad and in between. Now this doesn't mean that all the episodes were terrible, there were some decent and even excellent ones like episode 11. However a majority of the episodes weren't that terrific.
A lot of it is mostly due to the episodes' stories and plotting. While I understand that they are trying to build up the story leading to more exciting events but they've made things so slow to progress. Also the characters and world building needs to be greatly improved on.
I'll still give season 2 a chance. But my expectations won't be so high anymore.
I watched OG She-Ra, and I like the redesign.
I'm watching this after I bengwatched the final season and I want to cry because it's over😭😭😭😭😭
I’m right there with you
I don't understand why people say the before designs were better. It's just copy & paste and their personalities suck. The newer version characters are more complex and have personality. Not to mention their new character designs fit their personality and are creative! different body types makes sense since glimmer only uses her powers and loses energy but doesn't work out. Whereas Adora fights with her sword which is why she has a more athletic build. Because they have different nationalities it represents people of color relating to more people and also represents the lbgtq community. Like you said it also makes sense since they all come from different places and obviously won't all look the same.
100% love the romance changes in the ending. All of the characters, including Kyle and Rogelio were getting their moments and I was dying of anticipation waiting for that Catra and Adora moment
I used to watch the old show as a younger kid! I'm really glad that there's diversity in the remake, because the original really messed up my self image. I get that they didn't mean to do that, but seeing the role models kids now are getting- it's just wonderful.
I’m gen z but I grew up with 80s she ra re runs and honestly the re designs are nice and so is the diversity honestly we have to learn and adapt
I love this show. It looks so accurate to the modern world, all different body types, different skin colors. It’s absolutely beautiful. I love and appreciate that they show real life struggles translated to this fantasy world. Values like honesty, friendship, loyalty and many more are on point. Like u almost wish to be part of it. The theme song, the lyrics are so inspiring. I really like the original She-Ra too, but this remake is absolutely not a disappointment. I know for some ppl might feel it’s shocking and frustrating to see how different it is, but take ur time, get into it and u’ll love it.
Some shows want to sell toys, others actually want to tell a story.
A show has to be good to sell toys. Would you buy toys from a show you thought was bad or boring?
@@greenliongirl07 how are the character designs
I prefer the original because those designs had more detail and felt less flat. I find it more realistic since it didn't have child soldiers. While yes it was cheaper to have characters with the same body types for toys, alot of soldiers have similar body types so it works.
If the new had more details, like adding more texture to hair or more shading to give them more of a 3 dimestional feel. Also, I think the shoes for most of the characters are too detailed for the outfits. The shoes should complement the outfit, not be a distraction. Also, a little bit of make up on the prom episode would've been great. Most of the girls worn make to dances when I was in school, even if they didn't regularly because it was a special occasion.
I actually think Bow's update look is a better homage to the original. The only thing I would really change is give him a mustache, even if it a fake one and let it be a running gag.
@@greenliongirl07 you overestimate today's children. And children in general. Teen titans go was popular enough to get a movie and I remember everyone in my class in elementary playing with bakugan and beyblades despite not even watching the shows.
@@RandoSando. So? Does selling toys automatically mean a show is bad? Alot of research went into the original series, that's how we got She-Ra. Mattel found out girls were watching He-Man.
I'll put it to you like this. If I offered you a t-shirt and gave you the choice between one with your favorite character or symbol from your favorite show or movie and one that had a generic looking creature, which would you choose?
I watched the old She ra and don't really mind most of the redesigns, overall I did enjoy the reboot. That being said, what I 'did' have a problem with this reboot was that it was.....mediocre, if I'm being honest.
The animation quality looks rather low budget, and even though I liked the tension between Adora and Catra's relationship, they felt like the only characters that developed in any way, shape, or form throughout the show. Glimmer, Bow, and everyone else were kinda....just there. Spinerella and net girl (forgot her name) were literally 'just there' until the very last episode.
Kouya Williams Well I have to disagree with Glimmer. The reason for that is her relationship with her mother and being a rebel commander, but I do agree with (pfft) net girl and spin girl then again they could have more development is the series continues.
@@buffsuki7683 Honestly, to me, The entirety of the finale was as rushed as Samurai Jack's. The queen's change of heart came out as "my daughter will keep getting in troubles no matter what I do so I might as well let her" rather than "I have learned through my daughter's continuous victories that she is a strong, capable, ruler-to-be, and fully trust her" with a bit of a "you're just like your father" thrown in. I got the idea they tried to portray, it's just that the pacing was all over the place.
Kouya Williams True, but then again it could just be the foundation ya know the start of it all I felt like this season (even though there were crucial parts) is just setting the upcoming conflicts and relationships in 13 episodes (which could be difficult in my opinion)
@@buffsuki7683 Well, they did "waste" like 3 episodes going by the monster of the week format to recruit the princesses one by one, instead of, say, follow a single plot chain that connects everyone. Mermista, Perfuma, and Entrapta's introduction episodes matter so little to the show's continuity that you can watch them in different order or skip them altogether and won't really miss anything aside from 'this character exists', whereas Frosta's introduction episode has a plot point that directly sets up the events of the rest of the show. I'm not saying it's easy, but if they knew how many episodes they had to work with, and how many would they produce at first, maybe having everything solved in a 'happy ever after' fashion wasn't the right call.
i would agree on your complains...if the show was already over...
came into the show not knowing anything and only later realized that people were saying it was sjw propaganda, it just felt normal to me. A good show is a good show regardless of what race or gender the characters are I honestly didnt think that could be a point of contention.
i think the proof that its not pandering to have diversity, among other reasons, is that the diversity doesnt define the characters.
at no point, to my knowledge, do they sum up a character by going, oh thats the gay one! or the asian one! look see we added in a different race character and that one character holds every stereotype of that race and fully represents each person of that race/identity! instead they created an interesting character that just happened to be that identity/race and they did it in a way that felt natural to the plot. there were enough moments built between the characters that when we got a confession our response was more yes they got together! or aww i didnt know i needed this but i desperately do! rather than what the heck? that came out of nowhere! and of course different countries, remember they are princesses so countries not towns, would have different races.
I watched this already and I really recommend it. it is great fun and the characters and relationships are done well.
the story is great but the animation is horrible, ugly, trash
@Neil Brown What's wrong with homosexuality?
@Neil Brown actually the one only gay people shown in the show are bows dads in the second season in one episode the rest of episodes explore relationships, new princesses and more mysteries to discover. And what's from with being gay?
@@lukaimak also a lesbian couple in the 1st season im p sure.
@@someonewithachannel6232 what lesbian couple?
I remember when the designs were first released I was on the side that was offended because it looked drastically different from the original and too "boyish". I ended up entirely avoiding the show because of it, and only decided to start watching it after the show ended. I regret hard as shit because FUCK I loved the show. Scorpia and Entrapta are best girls. 🥺 And I'm so fucking happy I can get trans representation without it being played off as a joke for once!
What trans representation?
Did I miss something?
i actually avoided the show for a bit bc i thought it was gonna be not my thing. I kinda just thought it was gonna be a rewash of an outdated show. I got instantly hooked on the first episode when i decided to give it a chance. I really love the diversity in the show. It became one of my favorite series really quickly and holds a special place in my heart.
should mention: i never knew anything about the original she-ra
I love new glimmer so much, I think is my favorite design.
New She-Ra is also amazing.
More than that, the personalities
I watched the old ones because of an uncle and I always thought they were adults living with their parents xD
A few years ago I stayed up late one night and He-Man came on. The next night I stayed up even later and found out that She-Ra was a thing. I haven't stayed up late for He-Man and She-Ra in forever since the channel I watched it on stopped showing them. When I heard about this show I didn't think I'd like it because of my attachment with the original show, but I just finished it today, and damn. I cried. I cried damn hard.
him : why this redesigns exist in the first place?
me: BC THE OLD CHARACTERS LOOKED DEAD INSIDE
