All of them look like wimpy millennials on tumblr. Exactly their demographic.She-Ra's use of the style always felt a bit by the numbers to me. It's hard to explain.

No, I mean the light show transformation scenes are inherently cheesy. If poorly composited, then they can be eye-searing.The cartoon Centurions had done the male version of the magical girl transformation back in 86 and with zero percent gayness.
Edit for video of transformations.
MAXIMUM COPE!>claims spop looks like a cheap anime knockoff because it had tiny budget because it's a "girl show"
>actually it was a union show and they had a contract for 52 episodes regardless of the ratings

>spop is shit because it's for girls and girls are dumb
Actually, looking at the YA industry, that seems to be the case #CatradoraIsLesbianTwilight

SPOP is for little girls? I thought it was for depressed millennials who need to be told they're perfect all the time and it's all their parents' fault.
Anyway, men are only allowed to look like K-pop twinks now.

That last take ... I'm so tired.>claims spop looks like a cheap anime knockoff because it had tiny budget because it's a "girl show"

Sincerity is the best approach to take with stuff that is outwardly campy. It allows it to be its best self without compromising on what makes it special in the first place.That last take ... I'm so tired.
I actually think both styles are appealing in different ways. SPOP is very cute. Revelation is detailed and looks like the characters have weight. Both shows =have crazy color palettes that evoke the '80s (SPOP was just borrowing more from My Little Pony or Rainbow Brite for its colors). And there is going to be some kind of kid-friendly He-Man show coming out this year that will probably be more like SPOP. There's plenty for everyone.
I read an interview that said they were going to try to treat He-Man: Revelation like Shakespeare, no winking at the audience. That approach has more integrity than being embarrassed by the franchise and kickstarting it again for a quick buck or a complete reimagination. I think SPOP took itself seriously too, and that clearly got a dedicated audience for it. Good for them. But Revelation is a totally different approach and it's ridiculous to act like focusing on 40-year-old men is worse than focusing on 18-year-old girls. They're not even making it a shared universe where they have to hold these two wildly different tones together (like Star Wars has to do sometimes). You just take whichever you're into.
Also if we're supposed to "rework" the shows for a new audience, what's the point of connecting it to the old show at all? There isn't. It's not inherently more creative to "rework it" than taking the same characters and trying to pick it up where the old show left off. The second strategy that Revelation is taking is arguably much harder to pull off.
Anyway, this take is from Ashley Lynch, she always gets me riled up like this.![]()
Was it good, tho? The show is basically Lesbian!Twilight. According to SJW rhetoric, life imitates art so this show is directly contributing to abusive lesbian relationships.I think SPOP took itself seriously too, and that clearly got a dedicated audience for it. Good for them.
"Coding" is a very obnoxious thing that permeates cartoon discourse. I wish I never learned about the term.Looking at the design, I thought Catra was just a cat.
Call me nuts, but I wouldn't assume any kind of human race traits for an obvious cat lady.


While I agree with all your points I also do think parts of that show are Disney going "fuck it, we'll just steal from anime directly."Started watching Amphibia and honestly it's one the better Calarts Adventure Time knockoffs. Sasha is what Catra SHOULD have been like.
Funny how a show written by a Sonic fanboy represents complicated friendships between teenage girls better than Noelle's disturbing fantasy where all women want to f*ck each other.
If you're going to copy another kid's homework, may as well be the one who's actually good at the class, right?While I agree with all your points I also do think parts of that show are Disney going "fuck it, we'll just steal from anime directly."
Still a solid series. Enjoy.
True that. Plus, references are always going to be a thing in modern animation considering our generation grew up watching anime. I mean shit, there's a Kingdom Hearts reference of all things in OK KO.If you're going to copy another kid's homework, may as well be the one who's actually good at the class, right?
