Season "4" of "She-Ra" is out. EPISODE 1 play by play time! Spoilers! Language!

All the good stuff that Season 3 left us with seems to be going in a good direction! A more somber Glimmer has changed her look as Castaspella summons her to the war room to make a choice...
For MOTHERFUCKING ICE CREAM CAKE! Way to go! A cringy beginning for a season!! It's like Noelle Stevenson is ACTIVELY TRYING TO MAKE ME HATE SHE-RA!!

Aside from Bow being an idiot,  the scene where Glimmer is discissing with her friends the weirdness of all this. (As someone who has lost a Mother, I understand Glimmer's situation far too well... NO! I'M NOT CRYING! I'M JUST SUFFERING FROM A LEAKING PROBLEM WITH MY TEAR DUCTS!)

Adora being as socially inept as this version is, plans on making this day the perfect day... Seems lile she doesn't understand that this whole Coronation thing is a Perpetual reminder for Glimmer that her mother is gone! Oh God! They ARE GOING at it with stupid attenpts at humor...

Wait, is that a JOJO Reference?
Did they just replace Frosta's VA with Kristen Schaal? Cause she sounded a lot lile Mabel Pines when she screamed BOUNCER!!

Wait, what's that? An ACTUAL FUNNY JOKE? Perfuma being snubbed at flower arranging actually made me laugh... (also, The dad of Perfuma's VA is a Viagra Spokesman.)
Ugh! Quick Fart is in this! Just show me the Hprde already!
Ooh!! My wish was granted!
And Hordak finally got his testicles and is acting like the Evil Leader of the Evil Horde he should be! And Catra is the new Starscream.
Ugh! Back to Bright Moon...

Shadow Weaver is still around!
Ugh! Noelle Stevenson's hellbent on making me hate She-Ra... The Perfuma joke was alright,  but combining it with Frosta Pines is ruining the joke...
They MUST really hate Swift Wind in order to make him this annoying  (I seem ro recall rumors that he was imposed by Mattel because Noelle didn't want to use him)

Back to the Horde... Oh no, it's Scorpia time...  please be short. Back to Bright Moon and it's quest time! Wait, what? The quest was literally LESS THAN A MINUTE! FUCK THIS SHIT! OH LOOK! A MONSTER!! FINALLY SOME ACTION!

And no action, just Glimmer facing reality... I'm not crying again! Also, Adora spent a loong looooong time without blinking. It's creepy!

Over 17 minutes... it took over 17 minites to get She-Ra in an episode of She-Ra...
I'm not crying! Goddammit! I couldn't say goodbye... I'd give anything just for one more day... Mom...
Dammit! It's not fair! This episode was supoosed to suck massive ass! But it HAD to deal with Glimmer's grieving and remind me of MY OWN GRIEVING... Giving her the closure I WILL NEVER HAVE!!

Back to the Fright Zone... and Hordak just handed his testicles back to Catra...

To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this episode.
It's supposed to be a bad episode in theory. Rebels did nothing. Horde did nothing. But like I said before, Glimmer's grieving was what pulled this episode from the Crap Pile to the OK Pile... stupid cringy moments prevent it from being GOOD GOOD!

Let's hope the rest of the season leans towards good.
