i love that horde prime's weakness is magic cause often in the show, magic reads as being synonymous with love. and i looove that catra's the first one to kinda point out that love is his weakness, and right after she laughed in his damn face.

"What did you expect? After all, us Etherians are so very emotional."

she mocks him for not being able to see it coming, cause he mocked her for her obvious attachment to adora and sympathy for glimmer.

much like light hope with she-ra, he saw attachments as weaknesses, and like shadow weaver toward adora, he could only understand them in terms of something to manipulate. when he should've seen her strong emotions for what they obviously made her:

a threat.

and even after that, the moron still doesn't learn. he puts the person most likely to motivate catra's mind to fight the chip right in front of her

and causes the resurgence of she-ra by making adora confront the impending end of a life that would break her heart beyond any other. or at least, that's probably how he thought it would go down.

but it doesn't break her heart, just lights a fire in it. dude set himself up for failure twice in a row with these two.

love doesn't need to add up to count. and that intergalactic megalomaniac moron couldn't even magicalculate pfffft~

It’s never going to not be at least a little funny to me that Prime beamed up Entrapta in the finale and not Adora, because, apart from the obvious ‘she was about to disconnect everyone from the hive mind’ thing, it seems like he saw her as more of a threat. He’s like “oh yeah, got that whole ‘glowing lady with a sword’ situation handled, I’m not worried about that. Honestly I’m pretty—what is that. Scary purple lady half my size? Oh I’ll be having none of that, thank you.” Either that or he’s just really upset she keeps stealing his clones. Idk that “welcome, little rebel, you’re just in time to see the end of your world” felt…so personal??? Sir do you realize that Adora is the main character, not her? Bro’s got beef with his daughter-in-law i guess 😭

With Voltron getting a full series DVD set release and having a more complicated licensing situation than She-Ra, it is looking good for SPOP to get full series set release, and the pressure should be kept up on DreamWorks to do so more than ever. Sign the petition, send letters to them at 1000 Flower St Glendale CA 91201. Any social media post they have including She-Ra in it should also bring it up. Also, absolutely request they give it a new streaming home.

Prime's Demise

I love that in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power the most blatantly objectified character by the show is Horde Prime.

Bc in my journey of making little tiktoks of this show I have found that no other character gets the same concentration of like indulgent full body pans, exhibit A:

And this ain’t even all of them, there are more. Do not the forget, this is all contained within one season.

There could also be a compilation of the many frames where it’s just his almost excessively large chest visible and not his face. That being said he is very tall but there are other tall characters that don’t get that lens.

Besides maybe Hordak? There is one Hordak walking scene (some of my favorite scenes) that toes the line of an up the skirt shot. Exhibit A number 2:

Like, cmon. It’s shot from underneath and he wears the slut slit outfit.

Which is a habit he picked up Horde Prime. Exhibit B from the first exhibit A:

So you have each of these Spacebats in revealing outfits showing areas of the body that are typically ogled at on women. A shame that Wrong Hordak did not follow in their footsteps and wear like, ass-less chaps or something. Shame.

However what is on every Horde Prime and Horde Prime accessory is that funky belt that points essentially to their crotch. Iconic.

One last thing to point out is an implication in Horde Prime’s outfit. Exhibit Third:

Y’all, that is big phallus imagery right there. You can trust my expert opinion bc I saw one on the internet before. His outfit also frames his pecs to the shadows and back and goes into a deep V to further frame this man’s crotch.

And the default setting Horde Clones? They get the best of both dimensions: the phallus panel pointed tabard and the leggy thigh slits. The wings of the Horde emblem even fling the eye upwards onto the pecs as the tabard cuts inward just below the chest. Exhibit non-denominational:

So yeah the princesses have boob windows and their male companions have skintight leggings and Bow’s dads, but the Spacebats just feel so objectified with intention. In Horde Prime’s case; outright determination.

S in spacebats is for slut. H in horde is for ho. P in Prime is for-

And to be clear, this is NOT an SPOP critical tumblr essay. For both personal and business reasons, I am glad that crew made these choices.

I am glad that Horde Prime was made to be so overly sexual because so many real life fascist leaders aim to have that appeal. Let’s be aware of it and not fall pray to it. Horde Prime is not upset that he’s gettin bark bark woof woofed over, he wants that and made intentional choices to get that from you. I feel like Hordak would just be happy to be desired since I’m sure his inner monologue regarding his own body is uhhh unhealthy at best and he deserves to be cheered on.

I am also glad anytime I see men display sensuality with aesthetic choices. Cis-men deserve to have that option because it can be freeing and joyful. Also holy shit does menswear lack options. Look at one of Hordak’s few free choices to show off his legs and he fucking owns it (even if he might not know what sensuality is yet).

And as a trans-man, I don’t resonate with the “lumber jack” goals for transition. Seeing Hordak and Horde Prime’s versions of masculinity makes me feel like yes I’m still a he, I’m still a him.

This analysis went from gooning material to self-actualization; funny how life works like that.
