#she-ra 1985

[catras-breakup-song]

so we all hate that a live-action reboot of she-ra has been announced (at least on twitter), but i think there's a misconception going around that the 2018 show will have anything to do with it and that's not true. therefore, absolutely nothing that comes out of it will be canon to the version that we care about.

DreamWorks recently produced 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.

i've seen various speculations that all the characters will be white, skinny, straight, and cis. that's honestly very likely considering nate stevenson won't be involved in the production, and i especially have absolutely no interest if that's the case. however, it would (probably) be wrong to claim it's erasure of oppressed minorities because that's exactly how they were back in the 80s, which is the source material being used again. it's best to think of the original cartoon and the latest cartoon as featuring entirely different characters from each other:

i'm posting this because i don't want anyone to be disappointed by who the actresses & actors are based on expectations & demands that we should know won't be met. i strongly disagree with potentially choosing to reboot the original show instead of the current one, because those designs are cardboard cutouts made to sell toys and not up-to-date, as well as the fact that the newer characters are much more complex and compelling. that being said, the article says the franchise will be associated with neither, so it could really end up being for better or for worse (i highly doubt it will be as good as SPOP 2018 though). unfortunately, we can't change anything.

my suggestion is just to ignore any news about it if things start to look unsatisfactory and not watch once it eventually releases. it doesn't have to affect the fandom at all. do with this information whatever you will and have a nice timezone.

hopefully this post ages poorly and the upcoming live-action will be decent, even if it's different!

I was looking for a new She-Ra icon for my blog and came across this artist. They have a lot of amazing work from many different fandoms, including some musicians. His name is Daniel Kordek and here is the link to his instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/danielkordek/.

I’ve included the link to the She-Ra artwork and his page in my blog description as it is important to credit someone else’s work.

I- I just couldn’t resist!

I decided to watch a She-Ra episode from 1985 with my brother and a friend… Long story short: Hordak ate poisoned pie, Adora safed him and this screenshot was created. And well… I HAD to redraw it.

I haven’t seen every episode but this one is definitely my favourite so farxD

I know this is topic only I care about. But bro reading people spread misinformation about 80s She-Ra literally makes me sick to my stomach. Do some damn research 😭😭

Like no the designs weren’t just for dudes to wank off to. Watch the Power of Grayskull documentary at the 45 minute mark to get actual insight of the design process. It genuinely makes me so sad that people will spew misinformation and disrespect the hard work, and fighting that went into the female characters. People watering it down to “man want to play with peepee” which it’s not only gross considering it’s a kids show. But incredibly disrespectful to the woman who made sure these characters were more then just pretty, and made sure their voices were heard when they did feel something sexist was brought up.

No She-Ra was not just an after thought created solely to get girls interested in He-Man. It was created because girls were already interested in He-Man, around 30-40 percent of merchandise sales were from girls.

And yes, the animation isn’t the best, but that doesn’t mean Filmation was lazy. They had a policy called “People before Art” which meant the animation was done in-house, rather then sourcing it from somewhere else for cheap labor. Which as a result was expensive to produce, and Filmation would spend more money on animation than any other studios.
