That didn't happen either, Adam is front and centre throughout the second half, and at the end Adam suggests not carrying on, but Teela tells him she still needs her champion, and he agrees with her. Andra ended up doing nothing in that second half.
-They said it was 'the Teela show' but that's only true for four out of ten episodes, everyone else gets equal focus in the second half, but of course Cuckfish's narrative moved the goalposts to "it's the Teela and Evil Lyn show"

What they reported from their source about the show was accurate.
-Teela and Andra had several 'couple' moments. She didn't *end up* with Andra, but the first part of the show there was serious queer baiting going on.
-After the first part they said that they *thought* that would be the end game. The fully admitted that that was their own guess, based in nothing but where the story seemed to be heading. This has nothing to do with what happened with Smith. I would be willing to admit that their guess, rather then their reporting on their insider information was incorrect.
-Adam has some more screen time, but is far from the main character in the second half. He completely stepped aside in the show. First they tried to give a reason for it, by killing him off. The second half is the final part of Teela's heroes journey and Adams actions are completely to support her story. Then she *allows* him to be her sidekick after he acknowledges that he is completely unnecessary now. They removed any need for a 'champion'.
-It was Teela's show. Its her journey that is being told. Just because they picked up a "B" story that was for evil-lynn does not change that the story is about Teela's story. All of the deaths in it were to support her journey. Everyone in the show made sure to literally *gush* over how amazing and powerful and amazing she was. He-mans conflict with skeletor was spit on as skeletor being a putz. Everything that really mattered was in Teela's court. Even one of the three things Adam does in the entire series was to help push that the men in Teela and Evil-Lynns stories were toxic when after he turned into Savage He-man they made sure he hurt her when he was having his daddy issues in a very stereotypically 'domestic dispute' ways.
I am willing to agree to disagree about some things. The insider information they reported on was spot on.
