The writing makes no sense; the world building isThis show was recommended to me from multiple sources and after finally watching the show to its end, I feel that I can half-heartedly agree that this She-ra reboot is worth anyone's time. The writing makes no sense; the world building is weak, most of the characters feel 2 Dimensional, there's little surprise to what's going to happen, and it feels like a missed opportunity. What I did enjoy about the show, however, was how its antagonists presented some of its conflict. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the good guys always win and this is a kid's show for crying out loud, I knew there would be little consequence in the story or in the action. I didn't root for the good guys because they could not lose, nor were they fleshed out enough to have me invested in their plight. The bad guys caught my attention because that cast of characters was far more interesting to me. From what I've been told, they've steal the show, and I can see why. There's some that are cast in shades of gray, some that have dynamics with multiple characters, and then some that pose serious threats to the Heroes enough to make you wonder "how are the good guys gonna get outta this one?". The answer is usually deus ex machina + the power of love, but I'd be damned if I wasn't left a good impression just from their presence.

Aesthetically, the cartoon is pretty typical as far as western action for kids goes. It's like Ben 10 but with princesses and amazon warriors. The animation quality is very generic, but it's a wonder to see that there's actually cartoons like these still being made for western audiences. The sound design is weak, but not terrible. It frequently uses stock sound effects and LOTS of what I call "drama thumps". Some more filters, panning, and fade outs could've been done with the sound overall, but I guess you wouldn't really look for good sound quality in a damned kids show.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She-ra and the Princesses of Power has some redeeming qualities to it, but is held back by its weak writing. The highlight of the show was its antagonists and I might revisit the show some day for that alone. I recommend this show for people that want to do some research on writing characters or for people that just don't care and want to watch princesses bashing things.… Expand
