Season 5 Review: Despite some pacing issues that make it feel like She-Ra is racing to the finish line, Season 5 is solid. Ultimately, not every ship might sail the way fans want it to in the end, but the major relationships that have been developed along the way pay off with huge dividends in the final chapter, scripted by Stevenson.

Season 1 Review: Stevenson honors the basic plot layout and the birthday-cake radiance of old-school She-Ra. But the original cast of characters has been casually diversified, and newly illustrated to boldly suggest human beings have all shapes and sizes. Read full review

Season 2 Review: This season is short (seven episodes), and it too-patiently table-sets toward larger revelations ahead. but showrunner Noelle Stevenson evolves her robo-fantasy saga in exciting directions. [19/26 Apr 2019, p.89]

Season 1 Review: In rebooting the beloved series, Stevenson has created something special, a cartoon that both honors and improves on the original by amplifying its characters’ feelings, and emits equal parts electricity, joy, and warmth. Like its titular hero, She-Ra is so full of heart that it’s easy to recognize its humanity, even with all the super-powered hijinks going on. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Season 4 of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power goes to some dark places and leaves viewers with the biggest cliffhanger yet. But while Season 5 hopefully holds the answers we’re anxiously awaiting, Season 4 just turned in one of the best runs of the series so far. Read full review

Season 2 Review: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is back in a big way in Season 2, with plenty of action, humor, vibrant animation, and a colorful array of characters of all sorts. It’s only shortcoming is in Netflix’s decision to cut the season down to a too-short 7 episodes. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I think of all the most influential cartoons of the 80s, I think of TMNT, Thunder Cats, The Smurfs, Voltron, Captain Planet and of course He Man and She Ra. It’s been over 35 years since we’ve heard anything from these two and when I got word in 2018 that a remake of She Ra was coming to Netflix, I pooped my pants in excitement. But there was one small problem floating in the back of my mind, the potential for this show to be a complete failure and an insult to the legacy of The Masters of the Universe franchise was at high risk. But thankfully that wasn’t the case at all. So we start out with what I think is one of the best openings to any cartoon of the last 10 years. We meet our protagonist, Adora a young and aspiring force captain in the Horde army and it’s also here where we meet our antagonist, well atleast until season 5, Catra. So Adora ends up finding the sword of power and abandons the horde along with Catra. Midway through the series it’s relatively calm and then comes season 3. In the end of season 3, Catra opens up a portal that messes with reality and warps Etheria. The Fright Zone has been sucked up by the portal, so King Micha never dies and his family lives happily together. The season 4 is tame and is a breath of fresh air, then comes season 5. My god, season 5 is balls to the wall insane, twist after twist. That’s really all I’m going to say because it has to be watched. I’d say that this story is easily the best we’ve had in years, it is a true successor to the original and if you have Netflix, I highly recommend it if you’re an old or new fan of The Masters of the Universe franchise.… Expand

And then someone recommended it to me, and I found myself flabbergasted how quickly it won me over. From the first episode, the show manages to find a perfect balance between adventure and developing the characters, where the adventures are actually tense and exiting, while the characters and their relationships are well-developed and strikingly likeable. I deeply appreciate how the characters care for each other, and how it made me care for their well-being in all the very imaginative, dangerous situations they find themselves in.
Combine that with confident storytelling, which neither shies away from its tropes, nor falls for them, and you get a show that is up there with the all-time greats like Samurai Jack, Kim Possible or Steven Universe.

She-Ra is exactly the kind of upbeat, beat-em-up cartoon that I was looking for. The characters take some getting used to, but I found myself actually laughing out loud at some of the dialogue and the animation style lead itself to just the right amount of rainbows.

TV-Y7 derivative stuffing with no worldbuilding where all problems are solved by throwing plot convenience space magic and friendship™. The diversity in character designs is great and makes a lot of sense given the scale of things, being superior to the OG in every way as far as that goes.TV-Y7 derivative stuffing with no worldbuilding where all problems are solved by throwing plot convenience space magic and friendship™. The diversity in character designs is great and makes a lot of sense given the scale of things, being superior to the OG in every way as far as that goes. Unique and thoughtful designs > copy-paste action figure molds every day. Adora is a fun protagonist, but the circular nature of the show and plot progression through constant obvious screw-ups by the main cast just isn't fun to watch at a point, at least for me. The power system is interesting, but is quickly TV-Y7'd into just being more plot convenience. All of the external conflicts are really poorly done and honestly wouldn't have any reason to be there other if not for it being a remake. The whole premise is really stupid. You never get to see the 'countries' (two dozen people at max) interact or fight together in interesting ways beyond their princesses, and the things each one of them brings to the table aren't unique enough to support the themes of the show. The only place that matters on the planet is Bright Moon and no episodes bother to stray from the main cast to say anything interesting. How can a group of characters be 'diverse' when all of their cultures are pretty much different flavors of copy-paste that are never expanded upon? Seems like a missed opportunity. All in all it's sparkly ship-bait for those desperate for LGBTQ+ representation, don't use your brain or it all falls apart very quickly. The choreography is really, really bad too, and the animation leaves a lot to be desired.… Expand

Really tried to give it a chance because I did enjoy the He-man and She-ra as a child but even though the animation in this series is better than the original, She-ra in this series is so devoid of any likable qualities that I just gave up after a couple of episodes. The writers and animators should be ashamed of themselves for hack job, ruining another 80's series.… Expand
