Seems to be a recurring event with...every 80's show reboot that's been coming out of the woodwork these days.
Cuz they keep rebooting it wrong.

Plus on the content of boobs since people keep bringing it up, She-Ra didn't even have huge boobs. She just had a normal adult woman's chest cause very very few women of her height and build are 100% flat chested.

I swear boobs scare SJWs.

I've noticed this with Marvel's recent portrayals of She-Hulk and Captain Marvel in particular.

From the icy depths of 4Chan, here is a revised design of She-Ra in the new show's style. I guarantee the complaints would not be as vocal if the character looked like this:

Of course that's a 4chan redesign. Fun fact, when I wrote She-Ra's skirt was so short it had to defy gravity to not show her panties. That was a deliberate decision by the animators, there would be no panty shots of She-Ra in the original show.

And here we see it, I'm genuinely surprised the creeps didn't give her a camel toe to go with her bustier corset

Who is fat? Are there new images cause I did not see any fat characters...

Or are you referring to Glimmer? Cause she does not look fat, she looks built like a wrestler or strongman type fighter.

The muscle popping bodybuilder is not as strong as the barrel-chested World's Strongest Man competitor.
The former is all bark, the latter is all bite.

All one has to do is Google American Olympic Female Weightlifter.

But please, continue to tell us how exactly it is that the character designs for this new show are displeasing to you for reasons that don't involve your boner.

I don't like the biker shorts + skirt, one or the other would be better. That 4chan drawing is hella good. I don't have problem with She-Ra being 16 or whatever, but I think all the other portrayals of her and He-Man have been adults in their 30s.

Something I've been thinking about regarding OG She-Ra's generation of cartoons vs the 2010s:

He-Man, She-Ra, Duke and Scarlett from G.I. Joe, the Real Ghostbusters, the Superfriends, Optimus Prime, even the Fred Wolf TMNT--characters like these were older role models who kids were supposed to want to grow into, right? I think the same is also true of the 1990s DCAU portrayals of Batman and Superman.

More recently, with cartoons like the 2003 Teen Titans, Avatar/Korra, Adventure Time, Ben 10, Miraculous Ladybug, Mysticons, and the new, seemingly younger She-Ra, the focus seems to be the youthful relatability of the characters. Instead of being akin to a trustworthy teacher or big brother/sister, these cartoon heroes are like surrogate playmates/peers for the kids and teens who watch their adventures.

Also nowadays most kid cartoons are focusing on character arcs and development which while not impossible, hard to do with a Y7/PG rating. Hence why Bojack Horseman, Castlevania, Lastman and Aggretsuko are either Tv14 or MA

Now I think for She-ra I feel like it would be better had She-ra's transformation had been more adult. Like her normal self being 14 and her transformed self being in her 20's

I always liked that about the reboot He-man where he changed as he did. At least that way there was no way anyone would recognize him.

Granted features wise it is still pretty different between She-ra and her normal self.

It's my understanding that this was the original concept for He-Man, which was basically a high fantasy on Shazam.

As a women myself...I don't really care for the redesign.....

The outfit doesn't look that well put together to me....I get the biker shorts, but I feel they could have tied in everything a little better....?

I also would have liked her to look more feminine....but mostly cause I feel it's more fun seeing feminine girls with super strength~ It's like.." I'm a girly girl but I can lift this mountain and still look fabulous~"

Kinda like Allura from the new Volrton~ She has some noticeable super strength (and can kick butt) but here she is rocking a cute pink outfit and letting mice braid her hair~ (Super glad they didn't change her pink colors in the reboot)

but that's my opinion~

If she looked like Princess Amethyst from the DC short that would have been fun~ ( at least for me)

But this She-Ra is younger so it made sense that she’s doesn’t have fully developed boobs.

Considering she was Adam's twin and he was 20-ish, I'd say no.

They never went into ages on the show, but they were young adults.

Sonny Straight, Funimation voice actor (Krillin, Maes Hughes) confirmed She-Ra will be 14 this time around.

I thought it was confirmed on twitter by show staff she was supposed to be 22?
this to me sounds like course correction for art comments.

in the original they where at least that age.
