Who's your favourite She-Ra character? What's their best awesome and/or emotional scene?
I guess my favorite is Adora, like i stan, like im a kinny, like she's my spirit animal, the one I project on the most (maybe not a healthy amount), like it's the "she's literally me fr fr" meme . And it's funny cause I was driven to check out the show in 2018 by Catra(her design to be more specific) on one of the promo screen caps where she sat near Adora on their secret hord spot. I thought adora looked kinda funny and weird, and I thought I won't like her, because she gave me blond mean girl stereotype vibe and had a weird hairstyle and THE FOREHEAD. Was I in a ride for a surprise that she'd overshadow hotstuff fandomfave Catra for me?
Tldr; came for catra, stayed for adora. I'd say she embodies the holy trinity of "why you like the character ?", which are: "my pure child, poor baby🥺, best girl🥹 " , "it's literally me/ I want to be her😤😮💨" and "daddy 🫣😳🥵(yeah sorry it's cringe maybe but I mean bottom-memes type attraction to the cool character)"
As for best scenes, it's hard to tell, I generally like most of the gags and jokes she's part of, tho they tend to overdo "haha adora is so stupid " humor. I guess my favorite scenes, emotional by definition, are those that focus on her character and identity struggles, the "what do you want?" kind of scenes. I guess if talking sad, I really like her scene with Angela in the 3rd season final, it's one of the few scenes that made me legit cry; her interactions with Mara and the whole ass 5th season with Catra.
If we are talking cool, then I'm a sucker for infected She-ra. One reason being that, I'm not sure why, but I like seeing Adora angry and lashing out. I guess it's a form of her taking agency, like it feels as if she was not allowed to be angry while Catra or sometimes Glimmer were. That's why I absolutely loved the "now live with it" punch in corrupted Catra's face.
Another scene I like, which is very underlooked in the fandom, is when she loses her shit at Mara's ship, when she was on her self exploration journey in crimsonwaste. Idk the way she almost had an anime-phyco moment there with her uncanny laugh... And in general, I really like how diverse her laugh is, Aimee did an amazing job! She nailed all the happy, remorseful, nervous, sarcastic, fake, even low-key evil laughs for her performance. Like that infected shera laugh is still giving me goosebumps uh oh🤌 that's probably what made me like evil adora AUs(like that double-trouble impression when they diss Catra? im sorry? If adora herself was like that, I'd sell myself to her-).
Her voice acting in general, I fell in love with it, it's more subtle than Catras obvious seksappeal, OK except for the "Hay, Catra" THAT WAS PURE SEKSAPPEAL OMG(like my second ever posted in 2019 shera meme was about that LOL) like her delivery is priceless and all the weird souds she makes pftphtph
So, in conclusion, it's a character that quickly grew on me to the point of being my main comfort character out of any fandom (like a parasocial fictional soul mate, idk)
(U know, I kinda want to write an essay someday about adora's laughs and laughs in spop in general now, lol)(and about adora's anger, violent tendencies, and self-expression)
