Reboots have become a common thing, but that doesn't mean that people love reboots. It has become common for reboots to be frowned upon سے طرف کی شائقین for not being as good as the original and for being made to make money rather than to make something worth watching. However, that doesn't mean that all reboots are bad. This review is to highlight a دکھائیں that is not only better than the دکھائیں it's rebooting, but is also one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. That دکھائیں is She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, a 2018 Netflix/DreamWorks دکھائیں that's a reboot of the 1985 She-Ra دکھائیں done سے طرف کی Filmation.
Before I explain why I love the reboot so much, I do want to make it clear that I also love the original show. Some She-Ra شائقین love the reboot, but hate the old show, while other شائقین love the old دکھائیں and hate the reboot. Although I prefer the reboot, I think the original دکھائیں is really good. Lou Scheimer, the founder of Filmation, put a lot of effort into making cartoons that had good lessons. Nearly every-episode of the دکھائیں had a good lesson for the kids. In addition to being educational, the دکھائیں was colorful, creative and a lot of fun.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power does what I believe all reboots should do: Honor the original ذریعہ material , but make something that feels fresh, creative and special. Noelle Stevenson, the reboot's creator, was a پرستار of the original show. What she and her crew did was take the She-Ra franchise into new, compelling directions. The دکھائیں is full of the same, colorful characters, as well as action and excitement that the old دکھائیں had. However, the reboot also improved upon the old دکھائیں in a number of ways.
The original She-Ra دکھائیں was made during a time were cartoons were made primarily towards kids, particularly young kids. It was common for these types of shows to have on-dimensional characters. I wouldn't call the original She-Ra cast one-dimensional. Characters like She-Ra and Hordak had very distinct personalities. However, a lot of the characters were either pure-good یا pure evil. The reboot gives a majority of the cast مزید personality and character development than they had ever previously had. A big example of this is the reboot's cast of villains. In the old show, Hordak and his sidekicks were evil and seemed to have absolutely no problem with that. In fact, Hordak gleefully referred to himself and his team as the Evil Horde. In the reboot, a majority of the show's antagonists have sympathetic backstories and redeeming qualities. Instead of being pure evil, the reboot's villains are flawed, tragic, emotionally-confused people. The دکھائیں embraces redemption and helps prove that people have the potential to fix their mistakes and become better people.
The original دکھائیں had a big cast, due to being a part of a huge toyline. Because of this, a lot of potentially-interesting characters didn't get enough time to shine. Thankfully, the reboot has lots of storylines and memorable moments دیا to both the heroes and villains. In the original show, a majority of the princesses, other than She-Ra and Glimmer, didn't appear in many episodes یا get much screentime. In the reboot, several of the princesses, including Perfuma, Mermista and Entrapta, get to be regular characters in the show. Both in the original دکھائیں and in the reboot's early seasons, two of the princesses, Netossa and Spinnerella, barely had any screentime یا moments to shine. The reboot's fifth season makes up for this سے طرف کی giving the two characters a really engaging subplot. Also, Horde Prime, who is Hordak's boss, was a villain that had the potential to be She-Ra's most dangerous foe. However, in the original show, Horde Prime barely did anything other than get angry at Hordak's failures. In fact, he and She-Ra never had a single scene together in that show. In the reboot, Horde Prime gets to step out of the shadows and become the most powerful villain in the galaxy.
Due to rights issues, He-Man and Skeletor weren't allowed to be in the reboot which is a missed opportunity. However, the reboot removed some characters that the original دکھائیں never really needed. These characters include Kowl, Mantenna and جھاڑو who were occasionally funny, but weren't worth keeping around. Also, in the original show, Adora kept her alter-ego a secret from her human teammates. Even her closest friends, Glimmer and Bow, didn't know the truth. While it made sense to keep her identity a secret from her enemies, it didn't make much sense for Adora to keep her identity a secret from her own teammates. The reboot averts this problem سے طرف کی having Glimmer and Bow know that Adora and She-Ra are the same person right away.
Another thing the reboot excels at is giving the characters مزید personal and emotional relationships. The biggest example of this is the relationship between Adora (She-Ra) and Catra. In the original show, Catra was just one of Hordak's several sidekicks who had a petty rivalry with She-Ra. In the reboot, Adora and Catra start off as the best of friends, before Adora finds out that the Horde is evil and forges a new path in life. Adora and Catra become rivals, but it's clear that they still care for each other. Another interesting change was making Shadow Weaver a motherly-figure towards Adora and Catra who was a bad influence on both girls, despite caring about them. One of the original show's episodes hinted that Shadow Weaver thought of Adora like a daughter, but it wasn't really something that was explored upon. In the reboot, it's a recurring subplot.
One of the most notable things about the reboot is how progressive it is. Sadly, a lot of people like to poke fun at the old He-Man and She-Ra cartoons سے طرف کی making a bunch of jokes about the characters seeming like they're gay. In the reboot, a lot of the characters have become homosexual, but it's no joke. In fact, Noelle Stevenson is someone who is proud to be gay and she made a دکھائیں that promotes being a part of the LGBT community. In the reboot, Netossa and Spinnerella are two women who get married and Bow's dads are also a married couple. The دکھائیں never acts like two women being married is a bad thing. The two of them, along with Bow's dads, are treated as respectfully as any heterosexual couple would be treated. A recurring character, named Double Trouble is non-binary and the character is referred to as "they" rather than male یا female, because Double Trouble doesn't identify as one particular gender and neither does the person that plays the character. Although it's never officially confirmed in the show, one of the members of the crew has کہا that Perfuma is intended to be transgender and there's nothing in the دکھائیں that contradicts that, so it could be considered canon. Although Adora and Catra have a rivalry, it's clear that the two love each other. When I say love, I mean romantically. The دکھائیں spent a long time implying that Adora wasn't heterosexual before finally confirming it. The reboot stars a lesbian superhero, which is a major step in making superhero properties مزید progressive than ever before. The دکھائیں promotes same-sex couples in a مزید positive light than any children's دکھائیں I've ever seen. It's truly something groundbreaking and heartwarming.
Overall, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power honors the good-natured lessons and sense of fun that the old دکھائیں had, while also taking the franchise to new heights in being progressive and heartfelt. The دکھائیں is nothing short of a masterpiece. While the reboot has garnered some passionate hate from certain online groups, the reboot is a دکھائیں that I feel comfortable recommending to anybody who needs a دکھائیں that reminds all of us that being different is okay. In fact, it's something to be proud of. Being gay isn't something worthy of criticism یا harsh judgement. Being gay is just as valid as being heterosexual and no cartoon emphasizes that point better than this show.
