I wonder how it'll work without He-Man or when he'll cameo.

female empowerment..

oh god.

don't bring fake feminism to she ra please.

If it's a reboot in the vein of the 2002 He-Man, I would definitely be interested.

Bonus points if it's a 2D series rather than 3D/CGI.

Yeah, fake feminism is bad. I hope it's full of real feminism.

yeah....no. god please no.

Kek, you're not even trying anymore. :lol:

I have to admit, I'm curious to see what a revamped/updated She-Ra looks like. One of the things that kept me away when I was a kid was the lack of diversity, so maybe that'll change this time around.

It's a show with a female lead. Do you really not understand how people would want to use that to promote female empowerment?

In terms of what?

I think what he might be saying is that he hopes they don't convey a "girls rule, boys drool" vibe.

Anyway, since I recently watched He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special, I'll be looking forward to this.

Should be obvious to most anyone by now. that, and don't don't be giving she -ra some of Female thor's groan inducing lines.

lol. lack of diversity. may i refer you to an avery brooks video I Saw this morning? :)

Awesome! I wonder if this show will get toys, and if so who's gonna make them Mattel or Super7

Presentation, for lack of a better term.
One of the big turn-offs for me was just how girly and stereo-typically femme all the characters in the original were. Short skirts, go-go boots, make-up, that kind of thing.

It didn't play well with tomboyish ickle Plas.

Buuuuuut given the showrunner, who's helmed such titles as Nimona and Lumber Janes, I'm optimistic that there'll be a nice diverse grouping of girls in the cast.

You might as well, although I now understand what plastroncafe was getting at.

Well as "femme" as She-Ra might have come across looks-wise, she at least always seemed tough to me and proved that she could hold her own.

the problem was that it was a girls line. and it probably followed the rules of lines for girls at the time. hell, the main archer had a friggen heart on his chest.

I would hope the costumes would evolve appropriately with the times.

Oh yeah, she was pretty kick-ass, if memory serves...but it wasn't enough to hold my interest. Form me She-Ra was another in a long line of Boy Things Made Softer For Girls, which just pissed me off as a kid.

At the time it made me angry at girls, but that anger was waaaaay misdirected.

Based on her book Nimona, I think Noelle Stevenson is a really good fit to run the show.

I bet this will be better than Goyer's He-Man movie.

anything would be better than anything Goyer related

What do you mean, it had a leach man, a guy with four legs, a woman with no face, a rainbow dwarf, a dumpy old lady, a flamboyantly dressed dude with a Tom Selleck moustache.. I could go on.

I hope it's an adventure show for younger kids. I wouldn't want to see it played for laughs, or be too cutesy-poo, but I don't like the idea of it being too YA either. The original show wasn't perfect, but it was very colourful, creative, and earnest.

The more outlandish creature designs are varied, but just like He-man and the Masters of the Universe where the Lich-Sorcerer who's the hero's uncle is as beekcake buff as said hero. The non-cartoony humans have basically just one body type and similar clothes due to toy limitation and the way the show was made.

We don't see a lady with a similar body like Zarya from Overwatch or Glory from the Joe Keatinge's run of the Image comic.

If the show is less toyetic and more character driven, they could like make Octavia more monstrous then just a basic female stock model colored green with added tentacles and face fins, the tentacles could in a new design look like they actually are a natural part of her body. The body difference between Adora and She-Ra could be more opposites like with Adam and He-Man in the Mike Young show, and I hope we're getting a She-Ra that's similar to Stjepan Sejic's artworks of her



But Shadow Weaver needs to be as untouched in design as possible, cause a creepy faceless floating witch with boob socks on her robe to show off her rack is too hilarious to pass up :lol:
