I always wondered what would happen if He-man during his transformation hit Spirit with the blast that transformed Cringer into Battle Cat and She-Ra hit Cringer with the blast that transformed Spirit to Swift wind. would Cringer grow wings and a horn? would Spirit bulk up and get red armor?

[@supernerd5781]

According to Revelation and the 2021 He-Man series, Skeletor was able to give Evil-Lynn a Sorceress transformation and He-Man can give pretty much anyone his power, so I'd say we'd just end up with the same thing. Heck Adam and Adora could probably swap swords with very little difference.

I liked the Dream works show but feel like it did not need the She-ra name, world, plus characters to be good and hate the Shera X Catra pairing which made no sense. And yes this is most definitely the real She-ra and she's 1000x more powerful than Dream works Shera. And yes I am call DM Shera this and Real She-ra this. I feel he same way about Deam works Voltron it didn't need the names to establish the brand as let's face it this is why they don't make up their own names for characters and show but then have nothing else to do with the source material it's just brand recognition I am looking at you "Velma" and the soulless Disney live action crap.

You kind of want everybody to be fit so they can stay alive and avoid getting captured! The political correctness in the Dreamworks version wasn't appropriate for the type of show She-Ra is. I wouldn't want to see Wonder Woman fall in love with Giganta either! I want to see the battle of good versus evil!

[@matthew-005]

@@123451248ify I personally have no problem with a villain falling in love with a hero but Catra did a lot of very evil things and tryed to kill Adora multiple times as much as I liked Catre at first she crossed the line way too far with the things she did for it to make sense that she was in love with Adora if it happed in season one then I would have made a lot of sense but after everything she did no. Horda X Entrapta was weird but worked because they both had a love for technology and were both out casts in their own right so they had an understanding and things in commen plus Horda never did anything bad to her and Entrapta is too absorbed into science and her machines to really see and understand what the Horde was and what is was doing to people especially as she doesn't understand them I get it because I have Aspergers so I am bad with people too and she displays a lot of the signs and trait so she likely has it plus ADHD too that's what makes her so hyper and unfocused. I hate the WOKE and political correctness nonsense like all the race swapping there is no need for it none whites do need to be "thrown a bone" by giving them a white characters role it's like they are saying non-Whites can be successful without stealing a white characters role just like how I like DW Bo but he didn't need to be a race swapped version of a white character and have his character completely altered bar his name, clothes and weapon just like every character the show. It would have been just as good if the show and characters had unique names and designs bar the stupid Catra X Adora forced romance don't get me wrong they are good together but it doesn't make any sense that they got together after everything that happened between them in the later seasons. As for body type stuff that actually does make sense they are a rag tag rebellion made up of people who were peaceful up till Horda arrived so they would like likely have be enjoying peaceful lives and not been in shape because they didn't need too, especially as most of them are Princesses and the warrior characters are actually in shape but I would agree that you probably would want to train up you army especially the out of shape people. I hate that I like DW Shera and DW Voltron as they are just using the names for these IP's for brand recognition and filling them full of WOKE and political correctness but I can't say they are bad shows because they aren't and deserved their own identity and didn't need to steal for the original shows they would have been just as good as their own thing I actually only watched them at first to see how bad they screwed them up but was suprise they were actually good. It's not like "Velma" that show is entirely just wearing Scooby-Doo's skin like the alien from MIB with all the WOKE and political correctness trimmings but is also a terrible show this I couldn't stand and barely watched this disaster was what I was expecting the Dream works shows to be like but dispite everything they made good shows I suspect that the DW people who made them were told to add the WOKEness and just made a good show with what they had to work with.

That black cloud is the magical inter-dimensional portal that is allowing "the power" to travel from Castle Grayskull in Eternia (He-Man's home planet) to the Crystal Castle in Etheria (She-ra's home planet) and then to her sword. Didn't you ever wonder why her transformation sequence included both Castle Grayskull and the Crystal Castle?

@@Damienx247 The mysteries of the Jewel In the middle of the Sword of Honor have never been fully explored in either the classic series or the 2002 Mike Young Productions reboot, however i think we can safely speculate that the Jewel acts as a magical "focus point" for the sword, so it makes sense that "the power" would shoot out from the jewel. We do know that the jewel allows Adora's sword to do more things than Adam's sword can do. My own theory is that to me the jewel doesnt seem to be Eternian in origin, i think that it looks more like the jewels that adorn the Crystal Castle. Perhaps the Sword of Honor was an ancient collaborative effort between King Grayskull and Light Hope??

My question is this: Why does Castle Grayskull appear first, followed by the Crystal Castle? Also, what's up with the energy coming down from the Sword of Protection to surround Adora, transforming her into She-Ra? Is it from Castle Grayskull? Is it from the Crystal Castle? I can understand Adora on either Eternia or Etheria, but my additional question is this: how is it that Adam can become He-Man on Etheria, far away from Castle Grayskull on Eternia? Would the Crystal Castle have anything to do with it while Adam is on Etheria, or would Grayskull have something to do with his transformation somehow, despite distance?

[@arikaaa69]

The OG has a goofy charm to it, but it’s also really clunky and feels slow compared to the reboot, despite both versions being half a minute long. Aside from blinding nostalgia or just hating the new design, I don’t see how people can think this transformation sequence is better than the reboot. Like a big chunk of the original is Adora standing still while magical particles swap her clothes, before she slowly turns to her horse and slowly transforms it into Swift Wind with a silly beam. In the new one, shit actually happens as she grows in size and the camera moves as her armor appears. Even better with the final season where aspects of the design draws from her closest friends

One needs to understand that on old CRTs the glow-effect was a lot more pronounced, I guess because of the inherent blurriness.

The Noelle Stevenson reboot is the best written western animated show I have watched. That spot was previously held by the Paul Dini's Batman Animated series. All four 13 episode seasons planned before hand, unlike most shows, which write to the season finale. Characterization was amazing (although, the cast was too big). Voice talents top notch, especially Scorpia. She steals every scene she is in. Amazing attention to detail, making it very re-watchable. You can see all the Kyle/Rogelio hints, why Adora uses a quarter staff when the power sword is broken, etc. J. Michael Straczynski, who co-wrote the original show bible, gave the show his blessing. Noelle Stevenson also wrote the pilot episode of the new Duck Tales. She has definitely planted herself on my radar, and I will be making a point to watch anything she writes going forward.
