I have passing knowledge of bionicle. I was obsessed with the Visorak and Roodaka when I was a little kid. .....Which. In hindsight. Probably says a lot about my personality.
Meh. Given the pace of the show so far. I doubt we'll ever see Horde prime. But I do kinda miss the PSA's Even the 2002 He-man series had them (sorry I couldn't find any on their own) It kinda feels weird this She-ra broke that tradition.
It's probably best that they didn't switch swords by mistake... A lot of Bionicle fans probably forget that the characters wear masks because the masks were animated in the movies.
I will take your word on Man of Steel, because I personally am not a Super Man fan. To answer your question, plenty of shows and movies do just fine with characters who kick ass.
So you think that a bunch of men are incredibly bitter that a kick ass show that was originally made for girls, is being made for girls? What is it with people today, thinking that we girls didn't have anything good or adventurous to watch until modern times? Or that anything adventurous was retroactively made just for boys? Ugh. Retconners are so annoying.
And those shows and movies all have one thing in common. They develop their characters. The character doesn't start out as a super kick ass character. Those Superheroes you have mentioned, did not start out super powerful and perfect. They tend to start out terrible and awkwardly using their powers. Remember when Spider-Man didn't start superheroing, but instead, went wrestling for money?
So, you have forgotten this scene in almost every super hero origin film ever? I can go on if you'd like.
I mean, it’s not that I “think” that. Go read some of the online bitterness about how the show is too “girly” or “gay” or has a “feminist agenda” and blah blah blah.
: I forgot about that scene in Iron Man. Point taken Dolza. I concede. Your still missing my point. She-Ra is up for promotion and she's supposed to have had training. The only person who MIGHT handle a sword like that is an unsupervised, drunk toddler. Give a couple of kids some foam swords and they'll have no problem wailing on each other. But apparently a trained soldier does have issues. If it were a flail, or nunchucks, or a whip or a baton or some weapon of Final Fantasy proportions, fuck it. I wouldn't say a single word. But it's not. It's a sword.
My apologies Vatarian. Its become something of a sore point with me. I've had people say that girls only ever had shows that involved them drinking tea and giggling at nothing all day and crying when something bad happened and then when people point out that shows like She-Ra and Power Puff Girls and Sailor Moon exist, those little shit heads say, No they're not! They're boys shows. Girls didn't have action shows back then. Its funny, not a single one of those retconning morons who make those arguments were even alive back then. So they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground as far as I'm concerned
Have you seen the sword she's using? Clear Your November Schedule, the Trailer for Netflix's She-Ra Reboot Just Dropped It's a wide, unbalanced sword with a tiny, uncentered handle. Of course she is going to have issues.
So I've hit a wall about one third of the way through the season. I just don't think that this show is for me. I'm not saying that it's a bad show, not by any means. I mean it's not like it's Star Wars Resistance. It just doesn't have anything for me. If I were a seven year old girl, who knows. It might be my favorite show in the world right now. It's a shame that the 2002 Mike Young Productions He-Man show never got a third season. Cause I've read rumors that She-Ra and Hordak were both going to show up (I do own the comic-con exclusive She-Ra figure that goes with that show's toy line). MAN that was a good show. I wish it would've gone for at least another 26 episodes or so.
I wasn't really into this new version of She-ra before i ended my sub of Netflix. So I'll wait till "Toys that made us" before i pick it back up. I'm really not a fan of the art style. I miss Melinda Brit as the voice of She-ra as her voice to me is She-Ra and no other person.
You have a point, but it misses some nuance. For starters, keep in mind that She-Ra is already a sore spot for a portion of the MOTU fanbase (not me, I watced both shows and didn't care), since it effectively replaced He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on television. To people who are still bitter about that, and/or who think of it as the continuation of the MOTU brand, it wasn't made "originally for girls". From their point of view, it's Masters of the Universe, which was made originally for boys, hijacked and re-targeted toward girls, and then remade even more explicitly for girls. I don't agree, but I can understand how they would see it that way. And then you've also got fandom just being fandom and not wanting any kind of change, ever. I don't think any of that is right, but it does explain where all this crap is coming from.
I like this one. It's respectful to both incarnations of the character by showing them side-by-side, friendly, rather than one violently beheading the other to assert superiority.
