I had to make another appreciation post for Sunna Wehrmeijer, the composer of SPOP
[I recommend headphones for this video cause I tried to mute out the voices as much as possible]
This one covers the musical parallels in ‘Save the Cat’
In the first half we can hear Catra fighting against Horde Prime's influence, the horns/organ and the theme of Prime are the most preeminent here
However, when Adora breaks through to her consciousness, the Promise theme takes over, indicating that Adora is going to save Catra and keep her promise
Her last and final breaking point is when Catra falls off the platform, that’s when their childhood theme comes in, reminding her of how much Catra means to her (and bringing She-Ra back)
Sunna’s music accompanies the scenes perfectly — subconsciously guiding us through the emotional depth of it
And as a bonus I want to mention that Adora said: “You’ve never listened to anyone in your life. Are you really going to start now?”
A parallel to Catra’s line in the Heart Pt.2: “You have never given up on anything in your life. Not even on me. So don’t you dare start now.”
