Yes there will be context.

Scenes that should be ILLEGAL because they made me FEEL TOO MANY THINGS:
[Light Hope dying - picture not found]
And the most ILLEGAL and PAINFUL of all
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave
That scene between Double Trouble and Catra didn't do it for me at all, too contrived. It only further cemented Double Trouble as a walking plot device to me. Maybe if they had been in the show since season two.
I think my biggest regret is that Catra and Adora don't really get to sing and Catra doesn't get her own song. We batted it around, but it just seemed like it made sense for the place we were in the season.
Thinking on it some more, I don't...disagree?
There's definitely some contrivance therein to be had, for sure, but I imagine thatThey wanted to really, REALLY get Catra's 'rock bottom' across
I think it would have been helped by Double Trouble having better/stronger motivation than 'survival of the fittest' (or at least had a more in-depth backstory)

At least it's better than Steven Universe where colonizing imperialists are completely redeemed in the end.This show kinda wants to have it both ways, Hordak/Catra/Scorpia all are participating in war crimes while also being sympathetic.
Haha wow. This might be a thing where adult creators writing kid shows want to include serious themes while maintaining innocence with certain characters.At least it's better than Steven Universe where colonizing imperialists are completely redeemed in the end.
The former doesn't preclude the latter.This show kinda wants to have it both ways, Hordak/Catra/Scorpia all are participating in war crimes while also being sympathetic.

Having sympathetic villains is not "having it both ways".
Mind you I do like Steven Universe but that aspect is rather silly when you think about it. I'd say cartoons (and fiction in general) have always done this to some extent.Haha wow. This might be a thing where adult creators writing kid shows want to include serious themes while maintaining innocence with certain characters.
I'm saying a character participating in war crimes does not prevent them from being a sympathetic character.Wait, so you don't think Hordak/Catra/Scorpia are committing war crimes? That's my main point.
Then again, it's a kids show. Great season!
Fair enough, mate.I'm saying a character participating in war crimes does not prevent them from being a sympathetic character.
For Scorpia specifically, the worst thing she has done on-screen is perfidy... Which is something many outright heroes do in fiction.
It's more that the overall message of SU is meant to be one of love and positivity, that everyone has a chance to be good.Haha wow. This might be a thing where adult creators writing kid shows want to include serious themes while maintaining innocence with certain characters.
🙄At least it's better than Steven Universe where colonizing imperialists are completely redeemed in the end.
Scroll down, I actually like the show. :P (Even if Sugar seemingly has a naive view of the world.)
Thank you! 👏Glimmer's being a real Book 5 Harry Potter this season.
(It's not a good thing to be)
I thought Glimmer was great this season.
Can't wait for the Glimmer/Catra team-up in season 5
Exactly. The infighting got insufferable and was rather contrived at points. It's not that the foundation wasn't there but the execution was bad.She was going through a lot and she had her reasons, sure, but it isn't fun to watch a character yell at their friends for hours on end.
I'll check it out.Hey guys,
I haven't caught up on Season 4 so I won't stick around in here too long, but I wanted to bring everyone's attention to Twelve Forever.
This is an original Netflix show that looks like it's only getting one season, which is a tragedy because it is phenomenal. There are just over 20 episodes and each one is about 13 minutes long.
The show follows our protagonist, Reggie, a girl who starts the series on her twelfth birthday. She lives with her single mom and older brother, and has one friend; at school she's kind of an oddball and doesn't fit in well with most of the other kids. She enjoys clinging to her childhood, and struggles with the prospect of growing up and leaving the kiddie things behind.
Oh yeah, and she also has a magic key that lets her teleport to her own personal alternate dimension, where she can conjure almost anything she can imagine.
It's really, really great, and the diversity and representation level is off the charts, plus it's heartwarming and engaging.
if you enjoy She-Ra, I bet you're going to love this one.
Thanks!
Noelle confirmed today in an AMA on Reddit that Netossa and Spinnerella are married. Sure would be nice if that were in the actual text of the show. 🙄
Probably the case, which means nothing happening between Adora and Catra until the last episode. If two background characters can't be referred to as girlfriends in the text I have no hope. I don't know why she took the job if she was going to be shackled so much.To be fair, I have a feeling that's something beyond Noelle's control and that if she could have confirmed in-show that Netossa and Spinnerella were married, she would have.
I've seen the first three episodes of that show and agree that it is really good!Hey guys,
