Live-Action She-Ra Reboot From Dreamworks/Amazon Prime:
 
Quote:

A She-Ra live-action series is in early development at Amazon, Variety has learned exclusively.

As the project is in the very early stages, no writer is currently attached. DreamWorks Animation will serve as an executive producer after recently producing the Netflix animated series “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.” However, the live-action version will be a new, standalone story and will not be connected to the animated show.

Should the project go to series, it would mark the first live-action adaptation of the She-Ra character. She first debuted onscreen in the animated film ” He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword” in 1985 as part of the “Masters of the Universe” franchise before spinning off into her own cartoon series, “She-Ra: Princess of Power.”

In the original animated series, She-Ra’s real name is Princess Adora, the long lost twin sister of Prince Adam, a.k.a He-Man. She was kidnapped as a baby by Hordak of the Evil Horde and taken to the planet Etheria, where she was mind-controlled into serving as a Force Captain of the Horde. He-Man eventually helped her break the mind control and gave her the Sword of Protection, which allows her to transform into She-Ra and grants her incredible power. “She-Ra: Princess of Power” ran for two seasons and nearly 100 episodes between 1985 and 1986.

“She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” removed any connection of the character to He-Man, instead retconning Adora into an orphan who became a willing member of the Horde on Etheria. The show featured her as a teenager who breaks from the Horde after she discovers the Sword of Protection (again allowing her to transform into She-Ra) and takes up the cause of the Rebellion on Etheria. The show ran for five seasons and 52 episodes, with the fifth and final season dropping on Netflix back in May 2020.

The rant from Clownfish is gonna be worth staying up for:P

Leo656 09-13-2021 01:05 PM

I mean, "Wow, neat," but also, "This is madness, even He-Man never had a goddamn live-action show."

Not mad, exactly, just... a little bit disgruntled.

Of course, they might figure a She-Ra show might be cheaper to produce. Somehow I think that's part of it.

I'unno, we'll see what happens. And He-Man better get a live-action show, too, since that f*ckin' movie ain't ever getting made. God dammit.

Coola Yagami 09-13-2021 02:42 PM

So is she gonna black or latina?

drgon78 09-13-2021 02:43 PM

I am more mad that He-man and She-Ra have different rights holders even though I have always seen them as the same franchise/series.

I doubt this will be good but I would like to wrong for once.

My guess is just "off white." Like white but mixed with... something. That she'll be made into a lesbian again should be enough to satisfy most weirdos.

At this point if she's not a lesbian she'll piss off the weirdos. They'll consider NuShe-Ra being gay a standard going forward for any future versions.

Kinda like any Batwoman going forward must be gay even if it's a different woman under the cowl.

Exactly. It would be "straight-washing" her at this point. You can only turn previously established characters into gay people, you can't turn gay people to straight (even if it's a new incarnation) or there'll be hell to pay. The only "progress" for them is going LGBTQ, not going straight... that would be "regressive." Anyway, there'd be lots of angry Twitter weirdos and we can't have that!

Nothing is more disgusting than WB/DC's treatment of Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern. He's this 90 year old guy with a wife, two kids who fought in WWII. When DC did the "New52" they decided to make the Earth-2 Alan Scott gay. Fine. But now years after all the Earth-2 stuff has been long cancelled, they bring back the real Alan Scott in the main DC Earth (which I was looking forward to) but now... oh no... suddenly in about 2019 it turns out he's been secretly gay the whole time, since the 40s. Who knew! And now he's gay in the Green Lantern TV show that's coming. And there's all these articles about, "WB is honoring the canon by featuring the first gay Green Lantern, Alan Scott!" He's nothing of the sort!

I mean, probably? But we don't actually know yet. All we know is that they're attempting a live-action pilot that might get picked up.

All the speculation and conjecture makes sense and it will probably go that way, given Current-Year Thinking, BUT, the fact is we can still only assume. We don't "know". We'll know when we know.

The only thing known is that they'll be taking their cues from OG She-Ra, completely ignoring the Netflix version. That's pissing the living hell out of the LGBT right now.

But IDK, I really don't see them having a modern show with a mostly white female cast. Either Netossa is suddenly gonna become a major character or we're gonna see Black Glimmer and Latina Castapella and the like.

Leo656 09-14-2021 10:38 AM

I don't think that's "known", either. Scuttlebutt I've seen suggests they still might take a LOT from the Netflix She-Ra.

They literally only announced it yesterday. And? Decent odds are it'll never actually get made.

We'll know when we know.

Sage Ninja 09-15-2021 12:23 AM

I guess I am behind the curve. I didn't know they made She-ra a lesbian in the netflix series since I only watched a few episodes of the first season and never went back to it. Is it really the standard that she is supposed to be one now?

No, but once a character is made gay, the twitter weirdos want to make it that way. There are petitions being made to cancel the live action She Ra just because they're so afraid the new one will be straight.

They just can't leave Teela alone. She's stuck now with the 'independant whamin' stereotype forever now, isn't she?

Having now seen the episode in question which deals with this...it doesn't go the way you're thinking at all. Teela learns a lesson about relying on others and agrees to let Adam share his power with her.

Anyone feeling like rolling the dice on this one?

Vegita-San 06-29-2022 06:28 PM

The Princesses of Power.

I'm finally forcing myself to watch the rest of this just to see how bad it got. I stopped after I saw what they did to maddam razz, broom and Lookie.

I mean, if you take out the she-ra elements, if this where it's own thing, the first 6 or so episodes aren't bad. The Friggen PROM thing. Wow. WTF is up with animated shows and prom these days? seems everywhere all of a sudden and SOOO not She-Ra at all. This world doesn't feel invaded if everyone is able to have such a nice time everywhere either. the old show did a MUCH better job of making it more serious, despite the girly nature of the designs.

And also so far, swiftwind is a non entity...

Sumac 06-30-2022 12:16 AM

Prom thing is revenge of writers for not having a good prom, because, they were toxic shitheads.

Just yesterday read a British-published article that cites proof that most of them have some pretty severe autistic disorder, so there ya go. Head full of bad wires. No wonder they look down at their groin and see just a casserole of nonsense.

And that's where this transphobic nonsense comes into play, so they can live behind the delusion.

you can't trick basic science, no matter how much you try to blend in. Think of all the people we could help live normal lives if we just let the science do the talking.

The irony is they try to fix this by literally turning their groin into a casserole of nonsense..... I've heard some real terrible horror stories of the aftermath of that surgery. I swear, it makes your junk twitch in fear just reading or hearing about it.

Allio 07-04-2022 04:57 PM

I think I only ever wrote one “Prom night” sequence… and even then was for a “high school” show… so I guess it was expected. Though since it was a kid’s franchise I did a twist of it being more of a “father/daughter” dance treated with an importance as a “prom” in universe.

And even then the “prom night” was important to get the kids and the parents together so that the “Big Bad” would be unsealed and take revenge of the people that sealed them and their children.

Granted I guess if you are writing for a “school” series, you are expected to write one “dance” episode.

I mean, they claim "it's not mental illness", BUT...

- Many of them are autistic, which is most certainly looked at as a "disorder" or at the absolute least an "abnormality".

- Willingly mutilating one's genitals via elective surgery.

One's just as good as another but taken together that definitely says "Something upstairs ain't right" and I don't see how that's in any way controversial. If you want someone to take a scalpel to your delicate bits you are probably not right.

The claim is that being transgender is not a mental illness because its not in the DSM-5 (*the* book of phycological conditions). However, Gender and body dysphoria *is* listed as a mental illness because it causes discomfort in the person. You cant be transgender without those dysphorias.

Link to where you read this? I'm serious to read it.

Leo656 07-04-2022 05:56 PM

It was on my phone but I'll look for it. Several anecdotes in it from parents whose Autistic kids were coerced by their schools and friends into "coming out as transgender" after so little as one Zoom call or in-class "meeting". The kids were already known to be autistic but then were nudged along in their "discovery" by people dangling things like "acceptance and belonging" in front of them. Many of these kids had previously been bullied and so of course would jump at the chance to be part of a group, especially one preaching "tolerance" and all that.

So basically, in parts of the world where they're allowed to actually study the phenomenon, it turns out that a lot of these kids are simply mentally "irregular" and succumbing to societal peer pressure. And the schools not only don't tell the parents what's going on, but they do everything possible to leave parents out of the process entirely. One mother in the article lost custody of their kid to their ex-husband, simply because they wouldn't go along with the labeling of their autistic and impressionable child as "transgender".

In another anecdote, one couples' daughter wanted to go on some sleepaway trip with other students, but since "they're a boy now" and the school supports that, the kid would be bunking in a room with boys. The child, regardless of how they self-identify, has a vagina and the kids they'd be sleeping in the same room with all have penises. The parents, naturally, said "No chance in Hell" and so the school and the kid are all mad at the parents over it, when the only thing the parents are guilty of is practicing basic common sense. It's insane.

If I find the link again I'll drop it in here. It popped up in my Yahoo feed the other day.

EDIT: Found it.

Guess, being Lesbian is no longer profitable enough.
Or she just bought into psychotic trans-******** about how, if she loves women, he must be a man in female body.

In the first option she is a grifter, in the second - she is insane. I'd prefer the first option.

Link between trans-**** and Autism was established quite a long ago, its just no-one dared to talk openly about it, for the fear of enacting harassment from SJW scum and their brainfried trans-Frankenstens.
