Noelle Stevenson's pop cultural appropriations of She-Ra is finally ending! May 15

And it's TWO seasons, not 5. 52 episodes is 2 seasons the 5 season claim is some Netflix bullshit.
Now I'm torn. On one hand, I'm glad this Bastardization is ending. On the other hand the "4th season" was where the show really started to turn good... by good, I mean it started to resemble what a She-Ra show is supposed to be.
Hopefully, the second half of Season 2 of this pale... sorry, faux diverse imitation ends up decently and we can get a real She-Ra reboot. Preferably one with actual toys that are not a single wave of dolls that quickly reached the clearance aisle on a single US only retailer.

But all snark aside, 2 true seasons is NOT a big deal. That's one of the most common outcomes. It's the better outcome than the normal 26 episodes. But compared to OTHER Netflix exclusives that got "8 seasons", She-Ra got the short end of the proverbial stick.

The show had so much potential, but it was horribly wasted. You can eliminate "season 1" and half of "season 2" and the show wouldn't be heavily affected. By rhat I mean that these seasons were Filler!! And for a show that has a Limited Timeframe known from the srart, well... Filler episodes are a waste. While I have my gripes with story direction, character designs, the show's crew being more interested in tooting their own horn of faux progressiveness than making an excellent product; all of these pale in comparison when put up against filler.

Sadly, this means that I shall have one last Shit-REEEEE! rant before I can forget this faster than the Twilight Saga bool and movie reviews  I neber finished. And to be honest I would rather not finish them because that would imply having to reread the books and re-watch the movies. So no thanks!
