SHIELD-RA! She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 1x7 In the Shadows of Mystacor REACTION

[@jadegecko]

I love this episode. In a lesser show it woulda just been 'evil shapeshifters,' but here it's like a metaphor for PTSD flashbacks. Shows that she still has lingering, deep-rooted emotional wounds, and things don't just become all better because she swapped sides

[@caitrose2198]

it never stops being funny that this show has all the great writing and worldbuilding of one of the great modern cartoons like atla, but all the characters still have the names of action figures from the 80s

[@RasmusVJS]

I do appreciate that, for being a miscommunication plot line, Bow and Glimmer weren't really doubting Adora at any point, they were just worried about her.

[@vilmublues752]

I also like that when Castaspella yells about the kind of people Glimmer hangs out with and stuff, Glimmer instantly tells Adora it's okay and she'll talk to her. I feel like in many other shows Glimmer would have also been mad at Adora.

[@jacksparrowismydaddy]

its been stated that she wears the horde outfit because its a comfort to her. the dif is the emblem on her belt is an angel wing instead of the horde insignia. Castaspella is just another name from the 80s. they were huge on pun names. not saying don't make fun of it cause we have for years... just explaining why it exists lol.

[@xmant8842]

One thing I really appreciate this episode for is it shows that sdora really was also traumatized by her life in the horde. Some people tend to focus on catra's trauma, but episodes like this show adora is also pretty deeply traumatized and manipulated, despite the fact that shadow weaver did like her more

[@daniellerobbins6503]

It's so sad that for both Adora and Catra, Shadow Weaver is the only one they have had for "mom stuff." They deserved better.

[@patravanhorn7271]

eee i love this episode and others coming up for showing us the relationship between Adora and Shadow Weaver, the relationship between Catra and Shadow Weaver, and the differences between them. the convo between Adora and Glimmer about “Mom stuff” and “Commanding Officer stuff” being the same to Adora is SO telling about her beliefs in general. loving y’all’s reactions, i just knew the “go for the heart” moment would shock Indi haha

You guys are going to be so gagged on the next episode, Princess Prom.”

Only now I noticed the couch is now Blue. It looks so pretty.

Actually, Etheria (their planet) has 12 moons. You can see them in the beginning of the first episode. And answering your question, the sword is quite different from the original show. The blade was way thinner and didn't have any first ones writing (I don't think the writing was a thing in the old show either, but I didn't really watch it). The hilt wasn't golden, but still had a gem in it.

[@jaxcraft2848]

The manipulation this episode. Poor Adora!

[@ArtificialSelection]

Let's GO, Episode 8 is next!

[@juanjoseceballoscalderon8390]

Why does the voice of shadow weaver sound like she would be a voice in Steven universe

[@YorkeyZ]

"For the power of gay, happy pride month everyone!° Loved that

[@historyking9984]

A show I think you both should react to is the new Superman show. It mixes traditional Superman powers, characters and stories with anime style transformations and design. It’s got great characters, relationships platonic and romantic, mysteries, villains , super powers and really seems like a show you’d both enjoy

[@notyourjack]

20:48 the term you're looking for: flying monkey?

[@SputnikSpyglass]

That's it thanks!

[@frankwales]

Having started with a Screen Actors' Guild award winner in the cast (Shadow Weaver), this episode adds a Golden Globe winner (Castaspella), and soon they'll add an Oscar winner. As Sea Hawk might say: "you are a strangely over-qualified cast"...

[@jaxcraft2848]

Yes! I get to watch this while waiting for your new Gravity Falls reaction that comes out in 3 days!
