Okay...so i just finished watching She Ra in Netflix tonight
This started a couple of days ago, when suddenly, EVERYTHING that I acess in the internet was in She Ra mode (here in tumblr was trending for 3 days straight lol).
I've never feel the need to watch, but I like somethings that I see (yes Catradora, I'm looking at you).
Then I though...quarentine, free time...why not? And man, let's just say that I devour the 5 sesaons in 3 days lol.
First of all, I love everyone in the series (well, maybe except Shadow Weaver, but I talk about it later).
Adora was such a amazing hero, Glimmer and Bow such amazing friends, Mermisa such a iconic character, Perfuma so gentle...
And I can't decide if I like more Scorpia, or Entrepta or Swift Wind, it's totally impossible.
Anyway, everyone in this series have a defect, and I feel SOOO HAPPY when they surpass and become more strong. Like, genuinely happy.
I CRYED SO MUCH in different scenes (5th season, you dehydrated me). Remember about Shadow Weaver? The last scene from her (yeah) I was sobbing so hard I had to pause because I can't read the subtitles (not english native speaker but I like to watch things with original voices and blah blah blah).
And I was crying so hard not really because Shadow Weaver, but because of what she finally said to my favorite character in a cartoon in a looooong time.
CATRA.
You know, the last time I feel so attached to a character that way was Raven, in Teen Titans cartoon (urgh, I really like the traumatized ones, no?)
I liked Catra since the first picture I see from She Ra(she's on that suit, yeah, you know what I'm talking about it) but the real thing who catch me with her is that Catra is such a complex character.
She never have love (Shadow Weaver, even after all I can't like you).
The only thing that give her a little bit of love left her. And she suffered the consequences for that. Alone. And when her life start to get in all shit, her best friend is happy discovering the joy of the world with her new best friends.
At same time, she's not a good person, or cat, whatever. She seeks power, was a bad friend and maaaany times, toxic. Egoist, made a lot of people suffer. Pushed away everyone who came after her (poor Scorpia).
But as I keep watching, and she become more and more dark (4th season, you broke me) the only thing that I keep thinking is "if she is so bad, why do I like her so much?"
Then the last episode from my beloved 4th season (that's irony), the fucking scene with Double Trouble answer me. And broke me.
Catra is the character with most flaws - and traumas - in the entire series. In one episode you want to comfort her, in the next you want to slap her in the face to see if she finally wake up.
She's the most human character there.
I like Catra because I don't like perfection. Because in the end she finally tried.
I was sooo happy for her in 5th season. She deserved the redemption.
I'm feel like a proud mom with her growth.
(And every time I'm feeling in a bad mood I'm going to watch the episode 8 in the 5th season, that's precious).
I love She Ra and all the characters, all the AMAZING representation. A gay maried couple, two wlw couple, different people - in color, in personalities- telling you that's ok to be different, in such a natural way, without forcing anything.
Especialy, Catra and Adora being canon, clearly needing each other, two dorks at love, means so much for a lot of people these days. After all, the only thing that can fix this world is that, is love.
Catra, I stan you sooooo hard, chaotic kitty.
I'm sorry if this is too long, or have a lot of errors or whatever. I just want to show how She Ra it's amazing for me. Thank you Noelle Stevenson.
(And a toast to Catra's voice actor, Amanda Michalka, because every single one "Hey Adora" made me shiver).
