Just some happy Catradora dancing.  Adora’s She-Ra inspired formal wear brought to you by my inability to draw dresses

On a second viewing of She-ra and the Princesses of Power, it strikes me that it’s very easy to read the Shadow Weaver business as an explicit criticism of the whole idea of redemption arcs.

Like, you think Shadow Weaver should have had a redemption arc?

As far as she’s concerned, she did.

Basically everything she does after defecting to Brightmoon is just her methodically ticking off every box on the “redemption arc” checklist in the most awful, cynical way imaginable.

Like, she even manages to turn heroically sacrificing herself into a passive-aggressive guilt trip, in the process denying the audience the simple catharsis of seeing a bad guy go down – leaving us stuck with the knowledge that she went out smugly confident that she’d completed her redemption arc and was officially on the side of the angels, and nobody’s ever going to be able to challenge that narrative because she immediately blew herself up.

I can’t imagine it’s accidental that the show gives us a character who technically does everything the genre’s formulas demand in order to earn her redemption, and thereby makes a travesty of it.

[prokopetz]

As an aside, it’s striking that, while Shadow Weaver’s patchwork zombie of a redemption arc ends with the old “redemption = death” trope, Catra’s begins with an explicit rejection of that same trope.

A lot of analyses put the start of Catra’s self-reinvention later in the narrative, but I think where it really starts is the moment when Catra asks Glimmer to kill her, and Glimmer says no.

Shadow Weaver tries and fails to earn redemption in death, while Catra’s redemption begins with her being refused the death she thinks she deserves, though she’d done nothing to earn that mercy.

I remember the minute It was like a switch was flipped— I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up And suddenly, it fit God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago… I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive And I grew up too quick Now you won’t see all that I have to lose And all I’ve lost in the fight to protect it I won’t let you in, I swore never again— I can’t afford, no, I refuse to be rejected

[…]

Here I am, pry me open What do you want to know? I’m just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut And bury my innocence But here’s a map, here’s a shovel Here’s my Achilles’ heel I’m all in, palms out, I’m at your mercy now and I’m ready to begin I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in.
