Entrapdak is still subtext, they didn't confirm it
Yâall canât be seeing that entire arc and say they ainât canonically in love. Season 3 and 4 already have huge evidence for it but like we can dive here too.
How about the first time we see Entrapta having a chance to see a dormant clone she immediately goes to it to check if itâs Hordak? Sheâs in a genelab of some kind, the tech here is amazing, and sheâs immediately ignored it to check on this clone.
We learn she recovered the LUVD Crystal and has had it on her person this whole time just in case she finds Hordak and he needs it. Sheâs carrying it with her because she cares about him, she worries about him, she wants to help him.
She just so desperately wants it to be him, to see him again and for him to see her.
Of course this is Wrong Hordak, which leads to another very important reveal.
Entrapta has been keeping a list. We can infer sheâs been watching the clones to try and determine which one is Hordak. This is an active tally in her mind, something sheâs been doing. Entrapta isnât really one to pine, sheâs one to work, and this is her working in regards to Hordak.
Entrapta loses the crystal on Primeâs Ship, and Hordak finds it. Hordak has been reset but he sees it and immediately remembers her, at least her name. His affections for her are strong enough he instantly begins to break control.
Other times we see a solid break of control like this are on chipped people, notably Catra and Spinnerella who break Primeâs grip through their love. This continues too. Hordak continues to have scenes holding and pondering the crystal, and when Prime has him help retrieve memories from an old body we get the scene of Hordak retrieving his own memories.Â
Notably he takes a risk, while Prime is distracted he lets himself dive into his own mind.
And very notably gets this flashback at the end of the sequence.
Letâs zoom forward to Failsafe, back on Etheria. To their ENCOUNTER. Hordak finds her, asks her what she is doing here. Then sees her and...
Entrapta does THIS, and then...
This is a CLASSIC trope right here. Character who isnât supposed to feel things falls in love and drops that âWhat have you done to me?â
Entrapta takes his hand. A gentle touch between them as they found each other again.
As Swift Wind pulls her away the last thing she does is remind him his Imperfections are Beautiful, heâs Beautiful. She knows heâs out there, he recognizes her. She knows heâll come back to her. Thereâs faith there, and Entrapta normally isnât really one for that.
While everyone else is asleep she pulls up an image of him, just to look at it.
And then, and THEN. The real OOMF moment to it all. Entrapta is captured, Hordak is her primary guard here.
Instantly he is upset to see her upset, and when ordered to kill her later.
He breaks free. He reclaims himself to protect her, to save her. Just as sheâs saved him.
He looks back at her, gentle and kind, and dare I say loving?
Entrapta confirms she simply believed in him, in his ability to overcome.
Then Prime does his space demon possession thing, and She-Ra purifies Hordak.Â
Like do I even need commentary for this?
This is a love arc. Itâs really really blatant. They donât kiss, they donât say the words love but also its Entrapta and Hordak. Thatâs not really how they are? Thatâs part of the beauty of it too. They clearly, very clearly, love each other and itâs in their own way.Â
tl;dr did you watch the show?
