    The way to analyze this episode is it's basically a What If story. It's Catra essentially trying to hide from what she did by proposing "Well what if things were better? What if we were happy in the Horde so Adora doesn't leave?" The problem is that she and Adora still aren't on the same page about why Adora left and why Catra stayed. And the realization that Adora will always leave, without understanding what drives her to do so, sends Catra completely over the edge.

      It's a really interesting version of alternate reality/dream bubble - kind of like a smarter and more ambiguous version of Beverly Crusher's Shrinking Enterprise - but it definitely does not belong 100% to Catra, although she is the primary architect of this corner. Scorpia being so ready to break out of Catra's perfect world is really interesting to me. There seems to be at least three tiers of awareness - Catra seems oblivious to the unreality but also seems to be getting everything she wants, Scorpia seems to have some self-directed character (my current theory is that she is unhappy and hostile because this is a reality in which Catra has so completely rejected her), but then Shadow Weaver seems like she's been completely taken over by Catra's fantasy version of her.

      @@joelpartee594 This alternate reality can change people's perception, but not their personality. Shadow Weaver like to be nice to people that are competent or that she wants to manipulate. Now it just included Catra in that list, so there's nothing wrong to Shadow Weaver's point of view. Scorpia likes to be friendly and invades people's personal space. Since Catra's don't like that, Scorpia is now compelled not to be like that. But this makes her unhappy.

      @@arturferrao7353 I'm really glad it's never spelled out clearly within the show. There's clearly room for multiple interpretations, and above all we don't lose sight of the thematic priorities, like Catra's "stay with me" and Adora's "I need to fix this".

      ⁠@@arturferrao7353that is not the reason Scorpia is unhappy - it is because Scorpia wants to be with Catra. But in this alternate reality, she is not even friends with Catra. This is also why Scorpia immediately expressed her dislike of Adora, because Adora is with Catra. Scorpia is jealous of Adora.

    @pieceofgosa ปีที่แล้ว +34

    Last episode Entrapta explained what would happen if the portal was turned on, then Catra turned the portal on & now what Entrapta said would happen, if the portal was turned on, is happening... because Catra turned the portal on.
    To clarify, here is Entrapta's entire quote:
    "If my numbers are right, and they are, if we open a portal, the anomalies will be catastrophic. *It'll unhinge time and space, creating a warped reality that will collapse in on itself, erasing us from existence*. I never thought I'd say this, but we can't go through with it."
    So yeah, the start of the episode should make perfect sense. This is the "warped reality" Entrapta was talking about.

      Especially with what we find out when we start to dig more into *her* unique flavors of trauma. Which are actually really close to my own so I identify with Adora *way* more than I expected for the protagonist of a kid's show that I had initially expected to be fairly a predictable, hero-and-friends-save-the-day type thing.

    17:03 - "How did you survive?" you want the creepy answer? She didn't. By now Catra has died 4 times, I think - fell to her death at the end of Princess Prom, killed by spiders in Light Hope's cave, got suffocated by Hordak and now got obliterated from existence by the portal she opened.

      catra wouldnt have died falling at the end of princess prom because she fell onto the ship, she knew it was there and shes has feline attributes so meaning she can fall from a high distance without damage. she didnt get obliterated in the portal because if thats the case glimmer, bow, and everyone wouldve died. glimmers mum sacrificing herself reset and brought everyone back. catra escaped from the spiders. im not sure if she died because of the gas hordak released, it seems like she just fainted though.

    If you define trauma as the inability to move forward because your mind is stuck at a specific moment in time, then Razz's ability to interact with the collapse of space-time the way she does sure is interesting, huh? Not that I'm saying Razz has any particular trauma that will break you into an ugly-crying mess, or anything. This is all just lies and headcanon to keep you from getting spoiled!

    I have the theory that as a catra was the one who opened the portal it was she who created that world where adora's with her, shadow weaber treats her well, scorpia respects the personal space and both rule the fright zone, his perfect world. Instead the perfect world of adora would be one where catra is with her and her friends on bright moon and there is no war.

  • @elliot..5920
    @elliot..5920 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    the portal situation is basically what catra always wanted. shadow weaver to love her like adora, adora to have stayed, scorpia to care about personal space and not be all over her, and also just not being as friendly. i feel like the reason scorpia didnt like adora was because of no matter how much scorpia tried to get catra to like her, she always fell back to adora.

    There's a really specific narrative trope called the Fool's Paradise, and that's always been the lense I've filtered this episode through. It's actually maybe my favourite episode in the series, but there's some absolute bangers coming up that challenge it (also, the Promise musical theme was back again here and it's as painful as ever. Spotting it feels like an Easter egg hunt)

  • @guitarocker100YTP
    @guitarocker100YTP ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I had the same idea about the portal. It's an alternate reality that's perfect for pretty much everyone but Adora. It's also a what-if episode that's kinda like the first episode, but it analyzes what went wrong between Catra and Adora before Adora left the horde. Main problem is that they can't fix things by simply making a new reality. They have to fix them in the one they already live in.

    • @willowarkan2263
      @willowarkan2263 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Almost everyone, Scorpia's desires conflict with Catra's so for the latter to get what she wants Scorpia can't have her desire. It's really been only Catra's perfect world, which is interesting if you realize that even in this version, Adora is force captain, not Catra, besides Adora the biggest change is that Shadowweaver is kind to her. Her perfect world is a nice Shadowweaver and Adora there with her, not her in a position of power.

  • @DanGamingFan2406
    @DanGamingFan2406 ปีที่แล้ว +132

    I'm so sorry you had to record this right after "The Ball Pit Car." I don't think I could survive that much emotional damage. The saddest thing about this is that the only things Catra truly wanted in her perfect world were not power or the position of second-in-command, which we saw her work for the entire show. All she truly wanted was for Adora to be with her and Shadow Weaver to love her.

    lol the mix of shows you're watching right now(TOH, Infinity Train, Shera, etc) are just...wonderful. But, also dangerous for mental well-being. Remember to take breaks and take care of yourself whenever needed!
    The fact that a 'portal that alters reality' is what it takes to actually get a version of SW that is even remotely nice to Catra seriously says a lot.
    Razz-Ma-Tazz-Ma-Jazz! This is what I'm calling Madam Razz from now on. lol
    Scorpia: "Woah! Ever heard of personal space? I happen to take it very seriously." Yep, I gave the screen that exact same look Mosco. :P
    Something I really appreciate about this episode is that it's one of the few episodes where we get a better view of how close Adora actually was with Kyle, Lonnie, and Rojelio(the lizard one for clarification). We see Adora getting the surprise cake, joking with them, worrying about them when things start to break apart, and trying to save Lonnie as they're attempting their escape.
    I also love this episode because it does a good job of further showing what Catra wants, how badly she wants it, and how much she's mad at herself and her situation but she instead chooses to aim that anger at others, specifically Adora. I love Catra as a character with how complex she is, but yeah, can't really defend her very easily at this point. lol
    Also, as always, thanks for your reactions! They're a real treat to watch!

    I love the continued study of Catra in these episodes. Catra is asking Adora to stay, but in the memory, we see it was always Adora trying to hold the two of them together. Adora begged Catra to come with her, and Catra refused. For all her insisting that Adora "stay," Catra was the one to leave Adora. Catra is wracked with guilt but cannot admit she's wrong. So her psyke is at odds, making her lash out. It's sad how anger can make people so self destructive.

      Eh, it was definitely Adora that left Catra at the start of season 1. Adora made it very clear she was leaving the Horde regardless of whether Catra came with her or not. That is the reason why Catra refused to come with her - Adora was treating Catra as an afterthought, and the only reason Adora even asked Catra to come with her is because Catra **happened** to be there. If Catra hasn’t been there, Adora would still have left the Horde. That is why Catra saw this as Adora breaking the promise and abandoning her.
      Catra is also not wracked with guilt…yet (that will change soon).

      @omegastar19 Nah. At the time of Catra's attack on the village, Adora had not decided to leave the Horde. She was initially a prisoner, then just trying to figure out what was happening to her. She had not left anything at that point. It was seeing the happy villagers being destroyed by the Horde that finally flipped her, and she was scared of leaving the life she knew. She asked the one person she cared about to stick with her, to come with her. And Catra balked. Catra left Adora, she broke their childhood promise because she didn't understand Adora's change. Of course, in her view, Adora is in the wrong, but that's the point. Catra doesn't accept fault or consequence.
      During this episode, they cut back to their promise, and then Adora begging her to come with her. And it's Catra's flashback, not Adora's. Catra is not processing the guilt, but she realizes she was the one who broke the promise. And she deflects her anger onto Adora.

      @@arellajardin8188 yes, Adora saw the Horde attacking the innocent civilians and *that* as where she decided not to go back to the Horde.
      *then* , after she has made the decision to leave, she is confronted by Catra and asks her to come with her. But the problem is this: Adora had not expected Catra to be there. In fact, the only reason Catra was at Thaymor is because Shadow Weaver panicked over Adora’s disappearance and overreacted by sending the entire Horde army out to look for her..
      If Catra had not been present at Thaymor, *Adora would still have defected* . Hence why Adora’s attempt to get Catra to come with her comes across to Catra as belated, as if she is an afterthought to Adora, and not important to her.
      Catra is not feeling guilt, she is feeling abandonment (note how she immediately fixates on Bow and Glimmer as the perceived reason for Adora’s defection “You’ve known these people for what, a few hours, and now you’re giving up everything for them?” - she thinks she is being replaced as Adora’s friend).This is also why she goes completely crazy in season 3 - her abandomnent issues, already reinforced by Adora abandoning her in season 1, get massively triggered because Shadow Weaver *also* abandons her in S2E6.
      As for the flashbacks, I do not agree with that interpretation at all. There is nothing to indicate that Catra feels guilty in this scene. Rather, Catra remembers the promise…and then remembers Adora breaking the promise and abandoning her, prompting her to snap and attack Adora.

    I'm really looking forward to this season's finale, I always forget this season was so short: we really get to see everyone come to some emotional conclusions.
    The absolute comedy of Adora having to interact with Glimmer and Bow is fantastic, Razz is as cryptic as ever, and that Catra monster is terrifying.
    I do also love how much Angela gets to feature in the finale, since we hardly ever get to see her interact with anyone other than Glimmer. I really enjoy that Angela gets to see how mature Glimmer is and see how much Glimmer is supported by her friends: her decision to abdicate and allow Glimmer to become Queen of Brightmoon to help the Resistance fight the Horde as a front-lines kind of leader is really touching. Angela holds a special place for the remainder of the series and it's so out of this world impressive.

      I think it's just to find Catra unforgivable from S1E2 on - she is actively and (unlike Adora) knowingly complicit in war crimes. She chooses actions that lead directly to civilians being harmed and displaced. Morally, she has earned incarceration and no one should risk themselves to save her or offer her a second (third, fourth) chance. I can accept this show because (unlike the more grounded high fantasy of A:tLA) the tone keeps one foot in a sillier make-believe where everyone is actually just a high school student having heightened drama.

      @@omegastar19 The biggest mercy a soldier like Kyle can claim is that like Adora in S1E2, they didn't know what was going on. Catra makes it clear she saw through the propaganda and chose to disregard the lives of everyone else on the planet (and, eventually, all of reality).
      Entrapta is pretty damn close to Wernher von Braun.
      Scorpia is clearly a collaborator - we see her being aware of what the Horde did to her family, although she never quite admits it out loud. Catra is arguably worse since we see her directly ordering and participating in raids on non-military targets, and she is presented with a clear opportunity to be given amnesty by Bright Moon - something Scorpia may have never believed in.

    • @omegastar19
      @omegastar19 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@joelpartee594 I would argue that Catra did not, in fact, see through the propaganda. The issue lies with your assumption that Catra’s awareness of the Horde being evil would lead her to assume that the Horde lied about Brightmoon and that Brightmoon is therefore not evil.
      But that is not how Catra has learned to see the world. Catra is an abused child. She was abused by an authority figure, and she has no examples of other authority figures that treated her nicely or did anything to stop the abuse. Therefore, from her perspective, all authority figures are evil. And as these authority figures worked within the framework of an organization, that organization is, by extension, also evil for allowing the abuse to take place.
      And by this logic, Catra would see *any* organisation with authority figures as evil. And this includes Brightmoon. From Catra’s perspective, due to the hostile environment and the abuse she suffered as a Child, she views the world as an inherently evil place. She has no examples that would indicate otherwise (Adora doesn’t count because Adora is not an authority figure). Catra might not be as naieve as Adora, but she is definitely just as ignorant about the rest of the world as Adora is. It is very difficult to see through propaganda if that propaganda is literally your only source of knowledge, but even if Catra did see through it, that wouldn’t lead her to conclude that Brightmoon is actually a nice place, because, from Catra’s perspective, the world is not a nice place.

    • @joelpartee594
      @joelpartee594 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@omegastar19 That's a very good point. I was thinking more narrowly about the propaganda of "the Horde does not attack civilians" which Adora seemed to believe and Catra seemed not to believe. Catra seemed capable of recognizing the immorality of her actions in attacking Thaymor, that's really all I was trying to say about her seeing through the propaganda.
      It's certainly possible to look at the roots of Catra's actions and feel sympathy for her, but for me that's not the same as whether or not she is culpable of the crimes she committed.

    It was interesting to see how in Catra’s perfect reality, she wasn’t in charge of anything. It was Adora that was the force captain and she was happy for her. She just wanted Shadow Weaver and the others to be nice to her while she had Adora by her side.
