She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985)

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is an American animated web television series developed by Noelle Stevenson and produced by DreamWorks Animation Television. It premiered on November 13, 2018, on Netflix.

Like the 1985 Filmation series She-Ra: Princess of Power, which the series is a reboot of, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power tells the tale of the teenager Adora's rebellion against the evil Hordak and his Horde. As the heroine She-Ra, Adora leads a group of other magical princesses in an alliance to defeat Hordak. The series has been well-received by critics, who praised it for its diverse cast and the portrayal of She-Ra's relationship with her friend and rival Catra.

On January 24, 2019, a second season of the series was announced to premiere on April 26 of that same year.[1][2]

Premise

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power follows Adora, an orphan raised by the Horde, an evil army led by Hordak, who rules the planet Etheria with an iron fist. One day, after getting lost in the woods, Adora finds a magic sword that transforms her into the titular Princess of Power, She-Ra. After realizing the suffering that the Horde has inflicted on Etheria and its inhabitants, Adora joins the Resistance in the fight against the Horde through rebuilding the Princess Alliance, a group of other magical girls that once all opposed Hordak. Adora's newfound allegiance to the Resistance pits her against her former best friend Catra, whose sense of abandonment, malicious ambitions, and the disappearance of her former friend enables her to rise in the ranks of the Horde to become the new heroine's mortal enemy.[3]

Production

Development

Development and production of the series began concurrently in April 2016. Showrunner Noelle Stevenson initially pitched it to Netflix on the assumption of creating only one season, but in November 2018 she said that "we now have four arcs of 13 episodes done".[4] She-Ra is created using traditional animation, with the exception of some computer animation for "complicated machinery".[4]

Themes

The first season of the serialized She-Ra reboot focuses on establishing the characters and their relationships in order to set up future seasons, initially by way of introducing "princesses of the week" to the core cast of Adora and her close friends Glimmer and Bow.[5] While the core premise and characters of the original series were carried over, as well as many of its affectations (such as Adora's transformation catchphrase "For the honor of Grayskull!")[6] the reboot sets itself apart from the 1980s series by its almost entirely female cast of deliberate diversity,[5] both as regards appearance as well as character traits, which range from good to "evil but understandable", "utterly amoral" or "full-blown hippie".[7] He-Man, in the original version She-Ra's brother who "awakens her destiny", does not appear in the reboot's first season, so as to set up She-Ra as a heroine in her own right.[8]

According to Stevenson, the series's thematic core are the relationships among its teenaged characters, which range from "wide-eyed love" to "heart-rending jealousy, crushes and infatuations".[9] Reviewers particularly highlighted the convincing portrayal of the anti-hero Catra and her complicated "frenemy" relationship with Adora,[7][5] which The Verge described as "the best animated antihero story since Avatar: The Last Airbender's Zuko".[10] In addition, the series addresses such themes as prejudice, isolationism (as exemplified, initially, by the princesses), colonization and genocide (a result of Hordak's planetary-scale warfare).[9] The series also emphasizes the necessity of taking action no matter one's own power or circumstances; it portrays magic as fallible and dependent on its wielder's skill and determination.[11]

LGBT representation

The creators indicated prior to release that the series would provide LGBT representation.[12] Tor.com commented that the series "reads as utterly queer in just about every aspect", with many characters coded as fluid in terms of gender or sexuality, and none as clearly heterosexual.[13]

The first season shows a romantic relationship between two female side characters, Spinnerella and Netossa,[14] and there are undercurrents of romantic tension in the relationship of Adora and Catra.[7][15][16][17] The eighth episode of the first season, "Princess Prom", which sees the two dancing, was inspired by teenage romantic comedies.[18]

Staff and cast

Noelle Stevenson is the creator of the rebooted She-Ra

The series' showrunner and creator is Noelle Stevenson, a cartoonist who became known for her Eisner Award-winning comics Nimona and Lumberjanes. The principal voice cast includes Aimee Carrero as She-Ra, Karen Fukuhara as Glimmer, AJ Michalka as Catra, and Marcus Scribner as Bow.[19] Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is the voice director.[20] The series has an all-female writers' room, and only one man in the regular voice cast.[9] Around 45 people work on She-Ra in the DreamWorks offices in Glendale.[4]

Design

She-Ra in the 1985 series (left) and her 2018 redesign (right) that triggered a controversy on social media.

Visually, the rebooted She-Ra series takes inspiration from anime and the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Moebius.[9] Whereas the original series' heroines were all of the exact same size and shape to facilitate animation and toy production, and were all white (with the late exception of Netossa), the new series' characters are intentionally diverse in shape and ethnicity.[9]

Character design

After first images of She-Ra's design were released in July 2018, controversy ensued on social media. Some Internet users (men, according to some sources,[21][22][23] but also women according to others[24][25]) contended that she wasn't as sexy,[21] voluptuous or glamorous as in the original series,[26] or that she looked like a boy.[27] Other users responded that the new series tried to avoid sexualizing a children's show, and conveyed body positivity.[21]

J. Michael Straczynski, the co-creator of the original series, commented that his She-Ra was written as "a warrior, first and foremost", and that "anyone who is looking back at [her] as the 'ideal woman' is doing so through the lens of prepubescent (...) interest and kind of, understandably, imprinted on her like baby ducks. I get it. But that wasn’t the creative *intent*."[28] Fan artists responded to She-Ra's redesign and the controversy over it with a wave of artworks celebrating the heroine's new look.[26] The Verge reported that most of these artists were young women who were inspired by the new design's detractors to improve the new character's profile and her reputation.[26]

Music

The series' title song is "Warriors" by Aaliyah Rose.[29] The Washington Post highlighted it as one of the "theme song/opening credits so good it must not be skipped, right up there with Daredevil, The Crown and Narcos".[6]

The soundtrack was composed by Sunna Wehrmeijer. She aimed at creating a "contemporary ’80s synth-sound combined with orchestral adventure", based on the creators' desire to feature "big and epic" but also "sparkly" music.[30]

Promotion

A first teaser trailer released in September 2018 showcased Adora's transformation into She-Ra.[31] Longer trailers were released in October[32] and November 2018.[33]

As a novelty for a television series, the series' website is available in a virtual reality format, and is set up to present the user with a virtual crystal palace.[34]

She is then chased out of Bright Moon by rebels assuming she is a Horde soldier due to her attire. Adora ends up back in the Whispering Woods where she meets the eccentric Madame Razz. Madame Razz helps Adora by taking her to the Beacon to pick berries, and informing her that "horsey" prefers to be called Swift Wind. Razz and Adora ride upon Swift Wind to a Horde base commanded by Grizzlor. After successfully fending off the Horde soldiers, a fully confident Adora later appears before Angella.

Adora then learns that the Horde are poisoning Plumeria, and convinces the Plumerians to fight back against the invading army.

To Glimmer's dismay, she learns that Bow is attending the prom with Perfuma, which she fears may be growing him and her's friendship apart. Meanwhile, Catra decides to formulate her own scheme to capture Adora after learning that Scorpia is a princess. Catra convinces Scorpia to attend the Princess Prom, with herself as Scorpia's plus one. Once everyone is gathered at the prom, Adora makes a bad first impression on the much younger Frosta. Adora continues to irritate Frosta when she sees Catra and Scorpia together at the Prom. Adora and Glimmer split up to keep an eye on both of them, but besides getting Adora banned from future Princess Proms, this all played in Catra's favor. Catra and other Horde members bomb Frosta's castle as a diversion to steal the Sword of Protection and kidnapping Glimmer and Bow in the process.

The event also effected Glimmer as she makes attempts to conceal her power "glitching" from Angella. As Glimmer is forced to a mandatory dinner with her mother, Glimmer and Angella finally come to an understanding that Angella cannot protect Glimmer by holding her back like she did to her father. Adora leaves to find the Beacon. Meanwhile, Hordak scolds Shadow Weaver for acting against his orders and hiding the fact that Adora is She-Ra from him. Catra and Scorpia find Entrapta hiding in the air vents, alive and well. Following an unsuccessful interrogation that included Entrapta escaping her restraints multiple times and improving a robot's destructive power, Catra wins Entrapta over to the Horde by claiming the others abandoned her.

Adora enters the Beacon in her quest to heal Glimmer, attempting to communicate with the AI and only learning that her Sword is a portable rune stone keyed exclusively to She-Ra. Upon becoming frustrated with the hologram answering her questions, she requests to speak with Light Hope, the woman she first saw when she touched the Sword of Protection. However, Adora soon realizes Catra followed her inside as she unknowingly set off the Beacon's alarm while stealing a data crystal, forcing them to run from its defenses while subjected to hologram projections of their memories. This gradually makes Catra, admitting she did not want Adora to return to the Horde, realize her own ambitions as she leaves Adora hanging on a ledge. Adora hangs for dear life before hearing Light Hope telling her to let go. Adora falls into the abyss. Catra returns to the Fright Zone, informing Entrapta and Scorpia that she has stolen a data crystal.

After letting go, Adora finds herself in the Crystal Castle and meets Light Hope, who reveals the history of the First Ones and the legacy of She-Ra. Light Hope tries to communicate to Adora that she is the defender of all Etheria, attempting to convince her to remain with her in order to harness her full potential. However, Glimmer and Bow free their friend, to which they are joined by Swift Wind, who is revealed to have the ability to speak. Meanwhile, Entrapta learns more about the First Ones by decrypting a data crystal and discovering the First Ones's technology is integrated into the planet of Etheria itself, with the rune stones as a means to tap into it. With Hordak's blessing, he allows Catra to utilize Shadow Weaver's Black Garnet runestone. Furious by this, Shadow Weaver retaliates by attempting to subdue Catra, Scorpia, and Entrapta. After Shadow Weaver immobilizes Scorpia and Entrapta, Catra punches Shadow Weaver's mask before finally subduing her. As the experiments on the Black Garnet runestone continue, an imbalance on Etheria is caused. This leaves Bright Moon exposed to an attack by the Horde due to the Whispering Woods freezing over.

Catra leads an invasion force on Bright Moon to destroy the moonstone and strengthen the Black Garnet's hold on Etheria. Angella keeps her runestone safe while She-Ra, Glimmer, Bow, Netossa, and Spinnerella mount a defense. Catra's forces seem to have the advantage due to Entrapta's technological improvements, and Catra leading She-Ra away from the battle after She-Ra lost her sword while fighting. However, Glimmer's connection to the moonstone is restored when Frosta, Perfuma, Mermista, and Sea Hawk arrive to turn the tide of battle as She-Ra regains the Sword of Protection and restores the balance of the runestones. Despite her failure, Catra earned enough of Hordak's praise that she replaces Shadow Weaver as his new second-in-command.

Reception

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power's first season was well received by critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes counted 100% positive reviews out of 15, concluding that the series "packs a powerful visual punch that hits even harder thanks to layered writing and multidimensional characters – the perfect show for seasoned fans and little ones alike."[36]

Entertainment Weekly's review described the series as "a funny-wonderful pop fantasy animated like disco fireworks, fun for kids of all genders and any parents looking for something happy to cry about". It appreciated its self-aware humor and "hiply transgressive newness". EW also noted, however, some repetition, occasionally flat animation and the final showdown's previsible outcome. The reviewer found some of the tension in contemporary American politics reflected in the series' portrayal of the rebuilding of a "coalition of powerful liberal-minded thinkers left in disarray after a brutal defeat years ago by a monstrously all-consuming bad dude".[7] Collider called the series "visually exciting, emotionally charged, and unexpectedly hilarious", and "one of the best new shows of the year".[37] IGN praises the series for successfully rebooting the franchise but concludes that "Adora could have used more time with the Horde to help develop her character".[38]

Hypable praised the series' diversity and the multifaceted relationships among some of its core characters, but found much of the first season's plot "simplistic", and the rotating cast of princesses given short shrift.[5] The Washington Post highlighted the "top-notch" voice cast and particularly the work of Lorraine Toussaint as the sorceress Shadow Weaver.[6] The Verge commented that the series' biggest problem was that it was "retreading territory that Steven Universe and the two Avatar animated series did better", with several characters and plot points heavily reminiscent of elements from these earlier animated series, and also criticized the early episodes' shallow plot.[10]
