Reboots have become a common thing, but that doesn't mean that people tình yêu reboots. It has become common for reboots to be frowned upon bởi những người hâm mộ for not being as good as the original and for being made to make money rather than to make something worth watching. However, that doesn't mean that all reboots are bad. This review is to highlight a hiển thị that is not only better than the hiển thị it's rebooting, but is also one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. That hiển thị is She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, a 2018 Netflix/DreamWorks hiển thị that's a reboot of the 1985 She-Ra hiển thị done bởi Filmation.
Before I explain why I tình yêu the reboot so much, I do want to make it clear that I also tình yêu the original show. Some She-Ra những người hâm mộ tình yêu the reboot, but hate the old show, while other những người hâm mộ tình yêu the old hiển thị and hate the reboot. Although I prefer the reboot, I think the original hiển thị is really good. Lou Scheimer, the founder of Filmation, put a lot of effort into making hoạt hình that had good lessons. Nearly every-episode of the hiển thị had a good lesson for the kids. In addition to being educational, the hiển thị was colorful, creative and a lot of fun.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power does what I believe all reboots should do: Honor the original nguồn material , but make something that feels fresh, creative and special. Noelle Stevenson, the reboot's creator, was a người hâm mộ of the original show. What she and her crew did was take the She-Ra franchise into new, compelling directions. The hiển thị is full of the same, colorful characters, as well as action and excitement that the old hiển thị had. However, the reboot also improved upon the old hiển thị in a number of ways.
The original She-Ra hiển thị was made during a time were hoạt hình were made primarily towards kids, particularly young kids. It was common for these types of shows to have on-dimensional characters. I wouldn't call the original She-Ra cast one-dimensional. Characters like She-Ra and Hordak had very distinct personalities. However, a lot of the characters were either pure-good hoặc pure evil. The reboot gives a majority of the cast thêm personality and character development than they had ever previously had. A big example of this is the reboot's cast of villains. In the old show, Hordak and his sidekicks were evil and seemed to have absolutely no problem with that. In fact, Hordak gleefully referred to himself and his team as the Evil Horde. In the reboot, a majority of the show's antagonists have sympathetic backstories and redeeming qualities. Instead of being pure evil, the reboot's villains are flawed, tragic, emotionally-confused people. The hiển thị embraces redemption and helps prove that people have the potential to fix their mistakes and become better people.
The original hiển thị had a big cast, due to being a part of a huge toyline. Because of this, a lot of potentially-interesting characters didn't get enough time to shine. Thankfully, the reboot has lots of storylines and memorable moments được trao to both the Giải cứu thế giới and villains. In the original show, a majority of the princesses, other than She-Ra and Glimmer, didn't appear in many episodes hoặc get much screentime. In the reboot, several of the princesses, including Perfuma, Mermista and Entrapta, get to be regular characters in the show. Both in the original hiển thị and in the reboot's early seasons, two of the princesses, Netossa and Spinnerella, barely had any screentime hoặc moments to shine. The reboot's fifth season makes up for this bởi giving the two characters a really engaging subplot. Also, Horde Prime, who is Hordak's boss, was a villain that had the potential to be She-Ra's most dangerous foe. However, in the original show, Horde Prime barely did anything other than get angry at Hordak's failures. In fact, he and She-Ra never had a single scene together in that show. In the reboot, Horde Prime gets to step out of the shadows and become the most powerful villain in the galaxy.
Due to rights issues, He-Man and Skeletor weren't allowed to be in the reboot which is a missed opportunity. However, the reboot removed some characters that the original hiển thị never really needed. These characters include Kowl, Mantenna and cây chổi, chổi who were occasionally funny, but weren't worth keeping around. Also, in the original show, Adora kept her alter-ego a secret from her human teammates. Even her closest friends, Glimmer and Bow, didn't know the truth. While it made sense to keep her identity a secret from her enemies, it didn't make much sense for Adora to keep her identity a secret from her own teammates. The reboot averts this problem bởi having Glimmer and Bow know that Adora and She-Ra are the same person right away.
Another thing the reboot excels at is giving the characters thêm personal and emotional relationships. The biggest example of this is the relationship between Adora (She-Ra) and Catra. In the original show, Catra was just one of Hordak's several sidekicks who had a petty rivalry with She-Ra. In the reboot, Adora and Catra start off as the best of friends, before Adora finds out that the Horde is evil and forges a new path in life. Adora and Catra become rivals, but it's clear that they still care for each other. Another interesting change was making Shadow Weaver a motherly-figure towards Adora and Catra who was a bad influence on both girls, despite caring about them. One of the original show's episodes hinted that Shadow Weaver thought of Adora like a daughter, but it wasn't really something that was explored upon. In the reboot, it's a recurring subplot.
One of the most notable things about the reboot is how progressive it is. Sadly, a lot of people like to poke fun at the old He-Man and She-Ra hoạt hình bởi making a bunch of jokes about the characters seeming like they're gay. In the reboot, a lot of the characters have become homosexual, but it's no joke. In fact, Noelle Stevenson is someone who is proud to be gay and she made a hiển thị that promotes being a part of the LGBT community. In the reboot, Netossa and Spinnerella are two women who get married and Bow's dads are also a married couple. The hiển thị never acts like two women being married is a bad thing. The two of them, along with Bow's dads, are treated as respectfully as any heterosexual couple would be treated. A recurring character, named Double Trouble is non-binary and the character is referred to as "they" rather than male hoặc female, because Double Trouble doesn't identify as one particular gender and neither does the person that plays the character. Although it's never officially confirmed in the show, one of the members of the crew has đã đưa ý kiến that Perfuma is intended to be transgender and there's nothing in the hiển thị that contradicts that, so it could be considered canon. Although Adora and Catra have a rivalry, it's clear that the two tình yêu each other. When I say love, I mean romantically. The hiển thị spent a long time implying that Adora wasn't heterosexual before finally confirming it. The reboot stars a lesbian superhero, which is a major step in making superhero properties thêm progressive than ever before. The hiển thị promotes same-sex couples in a thêm positive light than any children's hiển thị I've ever seen. It's truly something groundbreaking and heartwarming.
Overall, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power honors the good-natured lessons and sense of fun that the old hiển thị had, while also taking the franchise to new heights in being progressive and heartfelt. The hiển thị is nothing short of a masterpiece. While the reboot has garnered some passionate hate from certain online groups, the reboot is a hiển thị that I feel comfortable recommending to anybody who needs a hiển thị that reminds all of us that being different is okay. In fact, it's something to be proud of. Being gay isn't something worthy of criticism hoặc harsh judgement. Being gay is just as valid as being heterosexual and no cartoon emphasizes that point better than this show.
