I genuinely felt sorry for multiple characters throughout the show, and they were complex enough that I felt invested in them.

I'm not part of the LGBT+ community, but I could definitely appreciate how LGBT+ friendly the show was. It did a good job of making it feel normal without feeling either that it was trying to preach at the -phobes or just shoehorn it in. (Great examples: Bow's dads and the two princesses that were married.) That said, I did feel like

Adora and Catra being romantically involved at the end was completely unnecessary. Love doesn't have to be romantic, and until the last season, there weren't really any obvious indications that either of them was in love with the other, just that they loved one another. Besides, having Catra together with Adora leaves poor Scorpia out in the cold, and there were plenty of indications that Scorpia had feelings for Catra.


Entrapta was probably my favorite character in the show; we need more positive portrayals of neurodivergent people that aren't caricatures.

All in all, I think this is a great show, and I recommend it. What about you all?
While I do agree with the "they could just be friends" sentiment, the series was basically made from go for it to be end game. It was always supposed to be a case of two friends who wanted to be more, but couldn't due to life being A Lot. And as for Scorpia... they don't go too indepth in it, but it's clear by the end she and Perfuma are getting pretty close. That's definitely a thing, so don't worry, she'll get her due as well.

I know some people disagree with the "positive portrayal" part of Entrapta but I 100% agree, she is fantastic and great and I love her.

She-ra's kinda set the standard for shows of its type, in basically every way, and I'm glad to announce there are shows rising to meet or exceed it already. It's a good time to be an enjoyer of cartoons with a queer lens over it.
