[@yukiraakechi3837]

I know you mentioned being a bit confused about the portal. To clarify, nothing that happened in the portal was in Adora's head. The fact that Catra holds the side of her face that Adora punched when they return is evidence of that =] Also, something interesting and very telling about this episode is up until this point Adora's always put the blame on Shadow Weaver's shoulders or her own, for what Catra's been doing. That look she gives her says 'I can't make excuses for you anymore...Pulling the switch wasn't on Shadow Weaver's, or the Horde's orders. You chose to do this.' A really heartbreaking moment in this very emotional episode ^^; I also love your reviews and look forward to more

@@faithjolley6034 I don't know if you mean in the metaphorical or literal sense, (if you mean metaphorical, you are absolutely right and I agree with you) but Adora definitely heard the "each other" part, it's just that her savior complex and sense of responsibility towards everyone made her turn "each other" into "everyone".

How none of the voice actors received any awards for their acting in this show is beyond me. Their performances in this episode give me chills every single time. Particularly "You made your choice. Now _LIVE WITH IT_ !" and "Take care of each other," but honestly this whole episode gives me chills

[@faithjolley6034]

Aimee Carrero is just. Such a great actor. Her voice is so expressive. She's so creative and I think that her voice was perfect for Adora.

[@tomnorton4277]

The voice acting is one of the best things about this show. You can tell that every single member of the cast was very passionate about this story, even when a large chunk of it was botched due to bad writing in Season 5. Heck, they even managed to get Geena Davis involved and she's a well known actress outside of this show. Christine Woods is my favourite member of the cast. Entrapta's my favourite character but even if you take that fact out of the equation, I feel like Christine grew the most as an actress throughout the show. When you compare her with AJ Michalka, Aimee Carrero, Karen Fukuhara or Lorraine Toussant, they were amazing right from the start. In comparison, Christine took longer to find her voice and occasionally slipped out of character. However, to quote Entrapta "Imperfection is beautiful" and it's partially BECAUSE Christine didn't have as much raw talent as the others that I appreciate how much passion she put into her work and the fact that she kept getting better as the series went on. She knows that she has to work for her success and is grateful for her opportunities, which is refreshing because many actresses are spoiled brats these days. By the time we reached Season 5, Christine developed her voice acting skills to a point where she and Keston John could carry the entire season by themselves. I'd be totally happy to watch a spinoff that's focussed entirely on Entrapta and Hordak because they were the best part of the series.

[@tomnorton4277]

@@angryretailbanker5103 Catra's redemption arc was poorly written and Adora and Glimmer had to be character assassinated to make it happen. The Adora from Season 4 would have treated Catra with the same distain and mistrust as she treated Shadow Weaver. As for Glimmer, she would NEVER have gotten so chummy with Catra without at least confronting her about Angella's death. Also Wrong Hordak wasted time that should have been dedicated to the actual Hordak.

[@tobsonasanya4765]

@@tomnorton4277 lol character assasainated?

[@Marta-uv4id]

Adora *finally* standing up for herself in this episode was incredibly powerful because she has had issues with that exact problem throughout the entire show, and because it's *Catra* she's standing up to. This entire time, she believed she deserved Catra's wrath because she 'abandoned' her and broke their promise, but she now realized that Catra, even though we understand her actions considering she is a victim of trauma, never took responsibility for her actions and blamed Adora for everything that went wrong in her life, when Adora tried incredibly hard to help her, and Adora herself let Catra put all the blame on her. This is the episode that Adora finally gives up on bending over backwards to help Catra. Even though Adora's decision is completely justified, it's still so heartbreaking to see something the two of them had that was so incredibly special get shattered.

[@AmurTiger]

While I agree that it's a powerful moment I don't think it's actually all that powerful for Adora so much as Catra while being a baby step for Adora. Adora stands up to Catra plenty even if she hasn't argued back against this specific line before, the significance isn't in standing up to Catra but that by proxy she's starting ( in a very small way for the moment ) to stand up against the notion that she's responsible for everything and everyone. In rejecting the idea that she's responsible for Catra's actions she's taking the first tentative step down that path. If this was Adora standing up to an authority figure I'd absolutely be onboard for it being a big freaking deal for her but she's not there yet, but she's starting on that path so that's something. Catra's challenge is acknowledging the role she's playing in her own suffering as well as those around her where this moment as well as a few others closely associated with it mark a decisive turning point for her character as she's no longer able to convince herself that she's not a co-author to her awful life story at this point.

[@violetkerridge4154]

I love this episode because they give Angella agency. In so many versions of this trope (fridging) they use the death of a character for just character development of the other characters (which is inherently sexist because usually the ‘fridges’ character is a woman and the living ones are men, making the woman just a prop in the development of men) but this is a perfect end to Angela’s character arc, which has been about her trying to hide her fear behind her daughter, then coming to terms with that, and then finally atoning for it in a way by saving another child in her care from havigg by to make the sacrifice and doing it herself. It’s so sad but so perfect.

[@axolotl3158]

I love Angella so much...out of the many authority and mentor figures in the show, Angella is an outlier. Not because she's perfect, but because she acknowledges when she's wrong, and she grows. She's also the first authority figure in the show to express true, unconditional compassion for her children/adopted children. The first to see Adora as an actual person worth saving, rather than a tool or weapon to be exploited. The sheer contrast between Shadow Weaver's "You were nothing before I found you, and you will be nothing without me" and the humility of Angella's " *You* inspired *me* " is so beautiful and so heartbreaking

[@Marta-uv4id]

These last two episodes were actually an alternate reality that was triggered by the portal, not a simulation or something in Adora's mind. A reality which was centered around Catra and Adora and was their 'perfect' reality, so to speak.

[@asdfzxcvqwert]

Entrapta's "and then Catra-..Oh...I remember everything...I'm not really here.." is so heartbreaking too 🥺 like she's remembering Catra's ultimate betrayal of their friendship and then she says "everything will be right again". But she remembers she's being sent to Beast Island so things won't be right with her. I think that's why she says "It was nice being friends with you" 💔 ugh

[@JustAMagicDuck]

Rewatching this was the first time Bow and Glimmer’s changes made sense. I never understood why they wouldn’t be fighters here too but if King Micah never died then the original princess alliance never collapsed because it was Angella’s guilt that lead to her being afraid to act and the alliance falling apart. Without that Glimmer would never have been put in the field to protect Bright Moon and Bow wouldn’t have left home to join the new rebellion.

[@beethewizard]

Entrapta explained before she was sent to Beast Island that the portal would warp reality. This was not Adora’s mind, it was all of the characters existing in a warped reality. Entrapta explained it again before she faded away.

[@beethewizard]

I cannot believe how many viewers call the warped reality a simulation. As you explained, Entrapta mentioned it twice.😊

[@omegastar19]

20:29 that is actually incorrect. While the portal reality was a fake reality, the memories from it are real - everyone remembers what they experienced in the portal reality. And the last interaction between Glimmer and Angela in the fake reality was Glimmer apologizing to her mother.

[@emilyprice178]

My theory for what helps people in the portal's alternate reality remember their actual reality is strong emotions. For Scorpia it was the intense jealousy that she felt about Adora that made her start remembering. For Glimmer it was the grief for her father. For Bow it was his desire to be a warrior and his anxiety over his family not accepting that. It wasn't being a princess that made people more likely to remember, it was strong emotions that were tied to the memories that were evoked.

That's kind of the thing about this scenario: None of the princesses is really a blooded warrior. They are all pretty new to warfare, and their privileged upbringing kind of shines through their behavior. This is the turning point, sure, but nothing happens instantaneously, and their general naivety still remains until experience replaces it. The closest they have come to betrayal is Entrapta and, well...it's hard to accuse Entrapta of intentionally betraying them.

[@BGTitanAvatar]

Welp, not only did Glimmer lose her mother but Adora lost the only decent mother figure in her life. I love this whole moment though. Angella won’t let Adora sacrifice herself. I love that she tells Adora to “take care of each other” instead of just “Adora take care of Glimmer” because it implies that Adora should also let others help and support her as well, and that is just perfect. “HeY aDoRa.” That will never not be so freakin cool. And the whole sequence that comes with it is just… oh boy. I honestly didn’t expect that there would be a more cathartic punch that Glimmer decking SW but… yeah. This one wins. I love Catra, she’s my favorite character, but honestly I’m so proud of Adora. This whole show she’s been burdening herself with Catra’s actions, seeing Catra as her responsibility (thanks for that SW), but no more. Catra dug herself into this hole, and Adora isn’t going to try and help her climb out anymore. That’s something Catra is going to have want to do and strive for herself.

Seems like a thing she would do.

[@gabevandenhoeven4546]

I love this last bit of the season and everything going forward in particular. It's great storywriting from a psychological perspective. Love the reactions!❤ Some explanation on the portal below. The portal created an alternative reality which is slowly being consumed by the portal as it is collapsing in on itself. It wasn't a simulation though it can feel like one. It's not necessarily the case that only people who are still alive were in that alternative reality. The portal being destroyed after collapsing sent a signal through dimensions which was received by Horde Prime. Eternia is still in despandos though

And yes, for all intents and purposes, Angella is dead.

[@xavierortega6846]

For me, the most heartbreaking thing about Angella’s sacrifice, was that she and Glimmer were not on the best of terms, the last time she saw Glimmer, she disappeared right in front of her. And the saddest thing is, Glimmer never really got to say goodbye or I love you

[@pwnorbepwned]

Those aren’t planets. Eternia has lots of moons. Hordak fell through a portal hundreds of years after Eternia got sent to Despondos; they’re unrelated.

rhis finale is a game changer for sure, my two favorite seasons are coming!

[@paulg5507]

Aight, I'm preparing for some emotional damage :')

[@amidoshi1909]

I love Catra with all my heart, but having Adora stand up to her here was a little satisfying. And when she went off to the deep end. Adora finally realised to not hold back, as Catra would not. (if you get it, congrats, you're amazing!) From here on now, there's not much fun, it's all war and pain! Welcome to season 4!

Can I just say, that these 2 are my favorite reactors, and that will never in my life change✋❤️✨

[@mharlon09.]

As much as I love Catra and it hurts seeing her suffer, I was kinda satisfied when Adora punched her and gave her a reality check. And I'm glad Adora is finally developing and freeing herself from Catra's BS.

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

As someone who has also seen a million animations in life ... I assume Glimmer's father will be back in the next or next next season.

fucking rip angella the shenanigans regarding angellas state of death are absurd, because, yeah, that's it for her, there's no season 5 rescue mission for her or anything im so confused why they made it sound like shed absolutely still be alive also, goodbye entrapta, you will be missed cant wait to see you react to catra processing the consequences of a double elimination, her new power dynamic with hordak, AND adoras rage

[@nenakarra2579]

they were intending on bringing her back for the finale but the showrunner decided not too because it was "already too crowded"

[@danimusicccc]

I’m sick atm, and seeing the notification for this vid perked me up. I luv ur vids guys, keep it up

[@quogarum5826]

❗ SPOILER❗ The scene were Micah tries to tell Angela that he's real hits so hard after knowing that he's actually alive. But I still wonder about one thing: why does he think Glimmer is still a child in S4/S5 if he actually saw her as a pre-teen/teen in this alternate reality? Maybe Beast Island fucked with his memory?

[@Marta-uv4id]

I think Micah wouldn't trust a reality-warping portal to give him accurate information about the outside world. And I'm pretty sure no one fully remembers or is aware of what happened in the portal except for Catra and Adora.

[@emilyprice178]

Spoilers discussion!! @@Marta-uv4id I agree. I didn't really think about the fact that Micah saw Glimmer as a teenager in the portal reality until seeing this comment, but I think you're right that Micah wasn't in a position to take what he saw in the portal as an indication as to what reality was like outside of Beast Island at that time. I figured that he didn't know how much time had passed while he was on Beast Island because while on Beast Island you have to be hyper-vigilant about your mental and emotional state so as not to be driven insane by the island (on top of trying not to get eaten by the creatures), so Micah never had the chance to think about how much time was passing, he was in constant survival-mode. And as an extension to that, I doubt he would have even had the chance to really think about what happened in the portal reality (in order to realise that it might give him an indication of Glimmer's actual age now) because as soon as the portal was closed, he was back into survival mode.

[@Marta-uv4id]

@@emilyprice178 I absolutely agree, I mean, thinking about things that might not even be real wouldn't exactly be my first priority while deadly beasts are chasing me.

[@frankwales]

It absolutely IS a spoiler to say that Angella isn't coming back. Did you not see Kenny and Montana speculating how we might see her again?

[@palomaroggeri8680]

@@frankwales yeah but there is no foreshadowing or any discussion of her being able to come back after this episode. No one talks about the possibility of her coming back or not being dead after it happens, just the consequences of her being gone. So them thinking she might come back all the time might be detrimental to how they see glimmer arc in season 4, since a lot of people we’re like: “well this is all pointless because She-ra wouldn’t have the balls to kill Angela, she’s just going to come back and everything will be fixed!” Though of course, I think Kenny and Montana are more perceptive and emotional then that to take the character arcs for granted, but it can still worsen their experience.

[@frankwales]

@@palomaroggeri8680 It's still a spoiler to take story options off the table while labelling them 'not a spoiler', and I think Kenny and Montana are mature enough to cope with whatever happens.

[@Fuzunga]

I don't know how they could have made it any clearer that time and space were collapsing and warping reality. Closing the portal just returned everything to how it was the moment before the portal was opened.

Kenny you keep thinking the three moons of Etheria are planets, it's driving me mad (granted it's forgiven on account of you being so lovely, but still)

Don’t worry, season 4 is just more suffering.

[@jennwolffer]

A heartbreaking detail of this episode is that when Adora tells Glimmer what happened with her mom she puts her forehead against hers, Angella kissed Adora´s forehead, so in a way that´s Angella kissing Glimmer´s forehead.

⚠️Spoilers for season 4⚠️ . . . . . . . . . . . 25:36 the way catra and adora won't see each other in person at all in season 4 so we didn't get to see unleashed adora (The only time this happened was DT impersonating catra but not carta herself)
