I’m just going to say that I much prefer this version of She-Ra from what I’ve seen so far (the very few releases stills) and I don’t think she looks like a boy. Just my opinion & we disagree that’s fine *♀️ |

The original might not be the epitome of great animation, but it was unapologetically campy and fabulous. I don't get any similar vibes from what I've seen of the reboot so far. Feels rather sterile. Last edited by AshesBorn; 18-07-18 at 20:42. |

I think there's a difference between a woman who simply doesn't have exaggerated sex characteristics, but who is still unambiguously female (like Alicia, and I agree people were stupid for shaming her, Ariana Grande would be another example and she's beautiful) and then a cartoon character who is literally drawn with a long list of features which are typical on males and atypical on females.
She has a receding hairline, broad ass shoulders, no hips, a totally flat chest and a strong jaw. We know those features are typical on men, while it is very atypical for women to have all of those in combination. It is what it is, that is why so many people are reading her as "male" in this art. Also I do kind of agree on the art style itself. I don't have anything against unrealistic stylised art, in fact I have an appreciation for some of the anime art style, but I think this style is overly simple and just looks like casual doodling to me. I don't wanna say it's "horrible" and that there's no place for it... but idk I do think this art style leaves something to be desired, personally. Last edited by Yeauxleaux; 18-07-18 at 18:06. |

Partially, yes.
It is because of what Mr. Plinkett calls 'the blurring effect', because of the abundance of entertainment these days and the speed with which things come and go people don't remember modern media as much as they remember the things from the past. Therefore in order to get people's attention they make remakes, reboots, reimaginings or just slap a famous name on it, that adds a lot of financial security to the project rather than making something new that is risky and doesn't guarantee making lots of cash. So, that's basically the reason why pretty much everything that comes out these days is a reboot, remake, reimagining or adaptation. In fact according to Mr. Plinkett between 2008 and 2010 96% of Hollywood films were exactly that. And I don't know about you, but I find this to be an appalling impoverishment of popular culture. Or maybe I'm just getting old |

The name rang a faint bell but I was like "who's She-ra? I don't think I was into that" Then I watched that intro and it lit up my dead memory like a christmas tree the second she awkwardly walked right up to the screen. That music! I REMEMBERRR!!! She-ra was the best! Last edited by redfox45; 18-07-18 at 22:33. |
