Netflix She-Ra trailer... seems harmless enough.

It was released on Teen Vogue... A site that apparently feels that a Kid's cartoon should be discussed in the same place with a Guide to Anal Sex... There's PLENTY OF OTHER OUTLETS THAT COULD HAVE USED THE PREMIERE of She-Ra... Comic Book Resources, Nerdist, He-Man.org or He-Man World, just to name a couple of sites BETTER SUITED to talk She-Ra... Especially one of the last 2, since those are the main two sites related to all things MOTU, including She-Ra...
Why would they toss it there?
Ah, the Narrative... Seeing the trailer, I can see why ALL the promos are Noelle Stevenson this, Noelle Stevenson that...


So, we have a Princess Sunbutt sound-alike taking place of the Sorceress... talking to Adora on a very Earth-like forest...
Toying with the RGB values gives off a much better Whispering Woods
It needs to be more Alien Like... Main problem with the direction here is that everything is too Earth-Like. Then we have Aimee Carrero overacting a little bit... Her voice when speaking normal can work, but here she sounds like she's trying too hard.
Something about bringing back balance... AT LEAST THE TEASER UNDERSTANDS THAT BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE WORKING ON IT... Be subtle about your Smash the (non-existent) Patriarchy instead of being blunt about it and facing backlash... Filmation 4367: Noelle Stevenson 0
So we have some sort of Star Map engraved on the sword and then The sword within the Sword.
 OK Sword Hidden in a sort of, I don't know how to call it, Lost Woods?

With a Blonde in a Bright Colored Tunic reaching for this MASTER SWORD...
Well... Instead of Adora Transforming Into She-Ra we get MOON PRISM POWER!!
Or the dull version of it...



Come on! First you steal Utena's Outfit and make an inferior version
Now you try to copy Sailor Moon!? At leas do it right!

Come at me Bro!


Oops! We forgot that this isn't a Sailor Moon Transformaton.
wait, does she really have to say the Grayskull crap?

If unenthusiastic handjob had a face it would be She-Ra's.
Noticing a Lack of Grayskull in the background...
The Castle is feeling very dishonored.
So, yeah... Copying Zelda, Utena, Sailor Moon and Very Little She-Ra. But with that said, it's NOT SO BAD... I still hate the art style and character designs, but it could be passable. I did have to be nitpickier than Doug Walker AND Cinemasins to go through the play by play.

Still no Hordak and we're about 2 months for the show to start and OH YES, I have ordered the Popcorn. Won't do a play by play because Netflix doesn't let me do screencaps, but if it sucks... I WILL RANT LIKE I'VE NEVER RANTED BEFORE!!

  1. I actually hope for this series to NOT have Hordak at all. If they are making She-Ra her own thing, eschewing her MOTU roots, then they don't have the right to use Hordak, who actually is a MOTU character.

    1. To be fair, Hordak was supposed to be the bridge between both "lines".
      But with the phrase: ""a hero is only as good as their villain", I NEED to see how badly they'll screw up Hordak... if it's just for the sake of complaining.
