    Default She-Ra

    Hey guys...tried to find a conversation with this subject, since i couldn't I'm posting it here.

    Do you guys wish for them to do a reboot of the She-Ra line/cartoon?

    I always loved her universe and think it deserves a shot in our new , female empowerment, girl power, strong female heroes era we are living in.

    What would be perfect scenario for it?

    I think a cartoon and a new toy line would be perfect. Redesign the characters for them to look more unique, more like heroes/warriors/wizards/scientists.

    I tried some of my favorites:

    For a reboot... I don't know, really.
    I would definitely up for something that would serve as a conclusion to her story.

    If they can bring back JEM, they can bring back anything.

    I liked She-Ra enough in her day, but tend to think she's very much of that time.

    I would definitely like to see a new She-Ra cartoon, similar to what they did with the He-Man in 2002. With more girl-focused superhero or sci-fi toy lines coming out I'm surprised Mattel hasn't tried this already with something comparable to their "DC Super Hero Girls" property. I think Hasbro just announced a similar line for girls for "Star Wars" recently.

    Thinking back on it, I appreciate how many awesome female villains there were in She-Ra and MOTU. I've always liked villains better, and it was cool to have female villains that were just as awesome as the other characters. Strong female heroes are great, but I want more strong female villains too!

    You have to be more spesific on the Jem matter.
    Are you talking about the IDW comic or the recent movie?
    If you are reffering to the former, then i agree. If you are talking about the latter, however, then we can assume She-Ra as good as dead.

    Anyway, if i must describe a reboot then i would like to see a She-Ra anime. An anime like the 90's Sailor Moon as the directing is concerned.
    A anime She-Ra with the attitude of the old She-Ra but with the visuals of Sailor Moon.

    Considering it has been 15 years since the last He-Man cartoon, they could bring that back too. I always thought the 2002 mistake was not simply making it be a He-Man / She-ra adventures. Introduce Adam with his little sister Adora.

    Now as for Anime, I initially thought stupid idea, but then I thought of Glitter Force, and realized anime style could possibly work.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    The term "Girl Power" makes me cringe because a lot of people like to use that term to describe both girls AND women interchangeably, but someone needs to come up with a term that literally incorporates both girls AND women.

    I confess that I have not seen either version; I just thought JEM was an odd franchise for anyone to attempt a revival.

    Still, THUNDERCATS was another 80s standby, and its short-lived revival wasn't bad.

    They didn't bring back Jem though. Not succesfully anyway.

    I think She-Ra could have better chance at re-introduction than JEM depending on how they handled it. Although the property is the female counterpart to "Masters of the Universe", it still has the combination of fantasy and sci-fi with characters and stories that would appeal to boys as well.

    Even with a female-centric cast, there are still sword, sorcery and laser battles of rebellion against a cyborg villain and his horde of stormtrooper robots- and that's cool no matter who you are. Now where have I heard of a monumentally successful property similar to that before...

    Agree completely! So many rich aspects on the mythology as a hole but the She-Ra universe always felt even more elaborate and rich then He-Man's.

    Really wish to see what they could do reinventing the franchise, playing with the mythology. It's basically Star Wars meets Dungeon's and Dragons with cool and diverse female characters.

    To finally drive away the Horde from planet Etheria is to be an exciting story and it is to be the conclusion for the goal of the Great Rebellion and its members.
    However, afterwards, the character Adora cannot simply be with her family on planet Eternia.

    That is because of the She-Ra character being needed on the entire planet of Etheria regardless of the Horde no longer being present.

    To me, the ONLY way that the Adora character can settle down is for the Sword of Protection to be bestowed upon another woman.
    This other woman then becomes the new secret identity of the She-Ra: Princess of Power character.

    Ok She-Ra's headpiece in that picture looks downright ridiculous. Doesn't have to be that...big.

    But beyond that, yes, I 100% agree. In fact I'm constantly annoyed how in He-Man groups they shoehorn She-Ra into He-Man's cast of characters as if she didn't have her own cast herself. Or that to this day some people still don't realize they're twin siblings.

    I always got the impression that in the recent He-Man reboot the producers were tip-toeing around using She-Ra, what with using Hordak and the Horde minus Etheria/She-Ra/et al. When I think back on She-Ra, I feel like she was better written than He-Man in a lot of ways and yes I'd like to see her return proper.
