Promise really feels like She-Ra's version of The Storm from Avatar. It's the episode that takes two major rivals and puts all of their cards on the table. The audience is given all of the information they need about them, and how their past informs their character, rivalry, and future. It also is the audience's first look into the kind of depths the creators are willing to go to for their characters, and just how seriously they are taking their story. It's a wonderful kind of episode for a show like these to have, and I absolutely love it

I will never stop loving the scene in Failsafe where Catra says “I’m not doing this because I like you” and her empathic support animal looks at her and then pounces on Adora and starts licking her face. Like, “sorry, no results found. Is this what you meant?”

Save the Cat is when Catra is rescued, but Corridors is when she is saved.

14:44 "Shadow Weaver can still expertly push the buttons that she installed." That is a killer line. Five by Five Takes, I applaud you.

Even though Promise might not be the best episode of the show (it's up there, though) it's the first episode where the show *truly* shines. I still can't watch the episode without getting emotional.

One of my favorite lines in the show happens in The Portal, that being "take care of each other." Adora being the only one to hear Angella's dying wish means it warps with Adora's lack of self worth and hero complex from a plea for them all to love and support one another into yet another dire burden laid on Adora's shoulders while also depriving Glimmer of her mother's true final wishes at a time when I think she needed to know her mother had faith in her the most. Because "take care of each other" means Angella trusted them both, trusted them all, to carry on without her. "She asked me to take care of you" makes it sound like she still had no confidence in Glimmer, no faith that her daughter would do well. Meanwhile, Adora remains incapable of believing that she is worth the concern of anyone else, especially after how she believes she's just failed and allowed Angella to die in her place. And all of this tears her and Adora apart because they've each inherited half of Angella's burdens, Adora as a caretaker and Glimmer as the queen, and are trying to carry on alone when they really need to be sharing their loads the most. The arc that begins with Angella sacrificing herself so they can live, all the while telling Adora not to blame herself and begging them to be good to each other, continues with Adora warping those wishes in a way that hurts them both, finally comes to a head when Glimmer answers in kind (though she doesn't realize it) by saying "Maybe your best isn't good enough! If it was, my mother would still be here!" From that point, there's never any chance of going back, and the way forward drives both of them for the rest of the show.

Your videos on Catra and Adora are actually what got me to watch this show in the first place. Every new video you do on it reminds me why I love it. Thank you for your thoughtful, heartfelt content.

She-ra is one of those shows where I cry more every re-watch because I understand the emotional significance of more moments. At this point I'm a complete mess the entirety of Season 5 and even thinking the words "I chose to be brave" gets me choked up.

"Catra's body flopping around like a sack of potatoes" Perfect wrap up of why Save the Cat is amazing

The lines by horde prime where he just lays out Catra's feelings are so brutal. All she ever wanted was you. *OW MY HEART*

I've been singing the praises of Corridors for a while now and it's comfortably my favorite episode. The juxtaposition of how brave and selfless and good Catra is being in what she certainly expects will be her last moments and her self-perception as someone too wrong, harmful and hated to be missed by anyone just so good and to an extent is alluded to by that opening shot. The peaceful tranquility of Catra perched on the window while annihilation and destruction reign below. Failsafe is also another big favorite of mine since Catra's absolutely being her best self, yes including the end. As I see it Catra's made her case why Adora shouldn't take the Failsafe ( something that Catra's correct about ) and whatever words of needing or wanting Adora has to say she made her choice. Even if it's unfair to characterize that as siding /with/ Shadow Weaver the distinction is narrower then one might think, like in 'The Price of Power' Adora performatively 'resists' Shadow Weaver with her words but then goes and DOES exactly what Shadow Weaver wanted, Failsafe repeats this pattern. Catra's pretty clearly demonstrated that she understands how Shadow Weaver is manipulating Adora over the course of the episode and is the only one cynical and canny enough to see the trap before it's sprung on Adora, she's spent much of the season now trying to unlearn the things that Shadow Weaver taught her and she watches much of Failsafe watching Adora fail to do that, which isn't great. To top all that off unlike 'The Price of Power' this time what's being asked of Adora is to very explicitly risk her life against the unknown and Catra understandably doesn't have the capacity to watch Adora do that, especially since as far as she knows she'll JUST be a spectator ( and perhaps a distraction ). In the end we see her mourning Adora in my view not because she feels particularly rejected romantically but because she can't romance a corpse and she has every expectation that that's where Adora's headed both due to her innate pessimism. As Catra sees it, she's done everything she can to help Adora survive she can't actually do anything now. Which is driven home by the fact that the moment she sees something she can do something about she heel-turns immediately and runs through a number of metaphorical brick walls to get to Adora and keep her safe from a threat she can do something about. Overall a great list, I'd like to see Shot in The Dark there since my cat-oriented biases definitely like Melog's introduction but I'm not sure which of yours I'd push out in exchange.

Just hearing the music from Corridors was enough to almost make me cry. That episode really is something else.

"Adora has a lot of anger, but she also has a higher threshold for unleashing it," hmmmmmmmmm that one doesn't hurt at all. No, doesn't feel personal one bit.

7:38 This scene made me cry so hard, the chaos was building and building till it reached what felt like a breaking point. Then when we learn about Mara’s sad fate it all goes to stunned silence followed by Razz’s sad memorial for her. AHHHH

Save The Cat has got to be my favorite episode of them all. So cathartic. So chilling. So loving.

I really wish there had been more time dedicated to Bow and Adora's friendship, because it's Bow who brings her into Brightmoon essentially and it's Bow who struggles the most keeping his friends together. I just think he and Adora have such an interesting dynamic and I'm sad we didn't get to see more. Also, so rude to show the pie. You know it just makes people cry. Why you tryna make people cry on a Thursday.

SO glad to see you doing she-ra stuff again bestie

My favorite episode is Save the cat. It's heavy and we see how horde prime is so Indroctinating, it showcases Religious trauma and how it effects people. The way adora looks at catra with her horafid of what horde prime has done. The fact that adora's selfishness on stoping the mission and getting catra back perfectly cntrasts catra's selflessness on saving adora and glimmer. The line "come on catra, you've never listened to anyone in your ehole life, are you really gonna start now? " Resemblles the line in the last episode when catra says "You can't gibe up! You've never given up on anything in your whole life so don't you dare start now". Plus we even get a super badass she ra design, with a super badass fight scene. The way catra reassures herself by listening to adora's heart beat like in the flashbacl scene in corridors is so cute and wholesome. Though i do have a few problems lile the paising of the episode and wrong hordak. Don't get me wrong wrong hordak is a amazing and hilarious character but this episode was not really the time to intraduce him and he doesn't really make much relevance as he was suppose to be a reminder that hordal is gone but hordak did survive. After all these are my opinion s and hopefully you will be able to maoe more she ra content in the future since i love this show dearly and tour content on it is amazing.

'Catras body just flopping around like a sack of potatos' Killed me

yess! more she ra content! i love listening to your she ra videos and you explaining the deeper meanings

Listening to other people still being excited to talk about SheRa mends my heart, pls. never stop

This show has SO MANY great episodes that have such great writing and emotional impact. No other show has me rambling MULTIPLE episodes struggling to rank them because they are all so good. This show man

Corridors is genuinely my favourite Episode, even above Heart Part 1 & 2. I know this is heresy to some, but I love the simplicity of it and watching Save the Cat right after (sorry Stranded, you're kinda in the way). It makes me tear up every time, every line delivery is on point, the suspense of finally waiting for that change of heart is immaculate and the pay-off is one of the most beautifully saddening endings to any episode in TV history, ever.

One interesting tidbit about corridors B plot is that, while it's mostly played for laughs to balance the drama, it also has Entrapta reveal she named the ship Darla (including a silly hugging animation that humanizes it even more). It's a clever contrast to the "unnaming" ceremony that Horde Prome conducts

corridors is by far one of the greatest episode, I'm so glad you put it in first position (screaming crying rolling on the floor)

13:06 Oh god, the way you edited that makes it look like Adora booted Catra off the ledge.

I'm happy to see She-Ra content in 2023. I'm getting back into the series again and I think it still deserves to be discussed and recognized

Save the Cat is just the best. Action, emotion, a new form (which 2018 really needed more of), and semi-confirmation that Prime had fought with either Mara or D'vann at some point. Now *that* fight must've been epic.

I love the video but I ended up bursting out laughing at this point 13:06 with the way it's edited making it look like Adora just kicked Catra off the cliff

I teared up so many times during this show (especially season 5), but Catra’s apology in corridors was the only thing that got me fully crying. There’s just so much that builds up to it and every bit of internal conflict Catra had, every moment of weakness and uncertainty, in the 4 seasons prior felt like it just burst out of my TV screen in that moment. Hit me like a truck

7:37 hero always breaks my heart.

Your passion when talking about SPOP is something I just can't get enough of. It brings back all the emotions I felt when watching through the show myself

I really love Roll With It. It's a fun and silly episode that doesn't add much to the story or characters at first glance. But looking a little deeper you get to see the doubt and stress on Adora as she has taken on a leadership roll. You get to see how the alliance only works out of shear luck because everybody is kind of more interested in doing their own thing. But more importantly this is what I consider to be the first really great Scorpia episodes. You get to see just how she sees her relationship with Catra and the first look at her desperation to be accepted by anyone. For me this painted a picture of Scorpia as someone who is very lonely and is honestly a good person who actually respects her comrades, not something there is among the leadership of the hoard. Also you get to see how devastatingly effect she is at combat. It took like all of the princesses and Bow working together to take her down, and she generally had both Adora and Glimmer on the ropes. For me, this was the moment when I realized what an asset she would be to the rebellion and how much better she would fit end there. Something that really made when it was learned that she was in fact a princess and the only reason she was with the hoard was because her home was the first to be overrun by Hoardak and her family surrendered to him.

Your videos are a breath of fresh air. So many ppl shit on Shera and they don't even bother to try and understand it, but you are so accurate with your analysis and you're so in love with the show you make me love it even more!!

I wrote my college admissions essay about how much I love Hero!

i just finished rewatching and all the angsty catradora episodes are CRAZYYYYYY well written i love them

YAY SHE-RA CONTENT I WATCHED YOUR CHATACTER ANALYSIS VIDEOS FROM LIKE A YEAR AGO THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

God the voice acting in “Save the Cat” will never not make me clutch at my heart. It’s such a perfect episode.

I love your analysis of each episode. Also, the She-Ra depiction on that ancient First Ones' vase was riding a dragon?! Were we robbed of She-Ra dragons?! I need a movie, a short, an OVA, anything, to show me those dragons, and preferably Adora getting to ride one

so glad i'm not the only one STILL hooked on shera, loved all youre analysis videos, it takes what I know about the show and expands it to something greater than I could have imagined, ive been watching this show from the start, i was young and didn't completely understand the whole plot and what the show really had to offer when it came to the relatable aspects of life and trauma, but as you explained and delved deeper into the characters, specifically adora in this case her main commitment was always destiny, and I absoulutely LOVED how you explained adora after the sword was broken. Props to you!

Your videos are always so amazing!! Watching She-Ra clips makes too sentimental. This kids' cartoon has emotionally traumatized me /pos

A couple of my favorite episodes ended up on your list, like the Promise and Save the Cat. Princess Prom is another one of my favorites. The light hearted stuff is fun and I love the tension between Catra and Adora in that episode.

I had a feeling I knew which episodes would be the top 3 here because you basically inhabit my brain where this show is concerned. (I'm also one of those rare fans that puts "Corridors" ahead of "Save the Cat.") But it also just feels right that the "Promise trilogy" tops the list. This show circles around a lot of themes and character arcs, but at its heart (har har), it's about Catra and Adora. Their relationship is the structural backbone of the show and the most thematically rich element of the story. The way these three episodes reveal their history to the audience while simultaneously forcing the characters themselves (and Catra in particular) to wrestle with that history at different points in their arcs is just beautiful storytelling. It's character backstory used as a torch to illuminate the characters' inner lives, not as a bludgeon to surprise us with "shocking" secrets or twists. To give just one example, that scene in "Promise" where Shadow Weaver threatens Catra is horrifying, but not because it's surprising. Everything we've seen about Catra and Shadow Weaver's relationship to that point makes it crystal clear how abusive Shadow Weaver likely was in the past. We know she's awful to Catra. We've known since episode 1. If anything, the "twist" version of this would be a revelation that Shadow Weaver used to treat Catra well. But the scene hits like a ton of bricks because ultimately, it's not about surprising the audience with new information. It's about putting us *in Catra's mind,* seeing through Catra's eyes, as Shadow Weaver rises above her, her body frozen in place, and tells her in no uncertain terms that SHE IS TO BLAME FOR ALL OF ADORA'S MISTAKES and that Shadow Weaver will MURDER her if she causes Adora to fail. And now we're no longer viewers outside the show, dispassionately taking in information about this creepy smoke lady being mean to a catgirl. We *are* Catra, screaming internally to flee but unable to move as our ostensible parent tortures us for the mistakes of our best and only friend in the world. I honestly don't know how anyone can leave that scene without deeply empathizing with Catra for the remainder of the show. Anyway, that's just one example (and not even from my favorite of the bunch, which is "Corridors"). But it's emblematic of the rich and subtle writing of these three episodes, and the way this scene informs everything in the later two episodes shows the perfect way this mini-trilogy coheres. They're a matched set in so many ways, and I pick up new details that further deepen their themes every time I rewatch them. (Lastly, on an almost entirely unrelated note, one of the reasons "Arcane" has become maybe my favorite series ever is that it somehow manages to pull this exact same trick off for nine fucking episodes in a row.)

This list feels like it was tailor made to make me cry. Thank you for reminding me of all the reasons I love this show. So much of Catra's trauma and self-destructive behavior reminds me of my own and letting out some tears through the course of her journey is so cathartic. Might be time for a rewatch here soon.

Dang it. Ever since I started watching Mosco/Wee Lass Reacts' She-Ra reaction series I keep getting She-Ra recommendations on KZfaq again. The tears must flow.

you got most of mine! the only one missing is shot in the dark. that one is such a comfort episode for me. it’s where you can see how catra fits into the best friend squad and how you can tell she is truly on the path to changing for the better. even to the point where a telepathic alien cat chooses to form a connection to her. this was another excellent video from you! i adore all of your she-ra takes

Promise is the episode where the show really transitions into the serious show that's underneath and where it really shows how good it can be, compared to the fun but less impactful episodes before it.

Every time I hear Catra say " Theres no one left in the entire universe who cares about me" I want to scream "WE DO CATRA, WE DO! THE WHOLE ENTIRE FANBASE DOES!!!!"

One more thing about Save The Cat. Adora's Ironic Echo of Prime's *"You miscalculated."* ACTUAL *PERFECTION* 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Let's not forget the best part of Save the Cat when Adora says 'You miscalculated'

this reallyyy makes me want to rewatch She Ra again, as well as reaffirms my love of Catra and Catradora's character arcs

Even from the very first shot of Corridors it already shines. The visual composition is stunning, the reds and oranges of the planet surrounded by the dark greens and whites of horde prime's flagship, accented by Catra's outfit. It just screams "I don't belong in here and I know it". Plus the visual storytelling of this apocalyptic event, explosions bigger than mount everest times 20 shaking the planet to its core, billions, possibly trillions dead, and yet Catra has no reaction. Just complete apathy scored by a hint of depression. It just works so well.

I know it's not winning any awards but "in the shadows of mystacor" is still one of my favorite episodes. it shows us a really important view into Adora's psyche and her abuse. it's the episode I rewatch when I'm feeling upset about my own abuse and want to relate to Adora

Before I watch this, here’s mine: 10 - S3 E3 “Once Upon A Time In The Crimson Waste” 9 - S3 E5-6 “Remember & Portal” 8 - S5 E3 “Corridors” 7 - S4 E12-13 “Destiny, Pts 1 & 2” 6 - S5 E1 “Horde Prime” 5 - S1 E13 “The Battle Of Bright Moon” 4 - S4 E6 “Princess Scorpia” 3 - S4 E9 “Hero” 2 - S5 E11 “Failsafe” 1 - S5 E12-13 “Heart, Pts 1 & 2.”

absolutely NOT surprised that all the big Catradora episodes are in this top ten. For me, it's the series finale, of course, as well as the Bow's dads episode and the Castaspella episode! For no big and meaningful reasons, really just because there's a sense of safe and calm and support in both. Plus, in the case of the latter episode, I wanna be an Etherian sorcerer real bad.

Great video! Aaaaand now it’s time for another rewatch of all your she-ra videos, they’re easily my favorite on this platform

i can listen to you talk about she-ra for hours lol, great video as always, def will be checking out the patreon

I personally have a big soft spot for MerMysteries as it expertly plays on audience expectations to really smack us with a big shake up in the threat of the Horde. Every season of PoP up to there as well as Voltron and Avatar had these silly mid season episodes with multiple perspectives that were largely a giant goof off playing with the characters before everything got serious in the next episode and here's that distraction having a real consequence. Also any time we get to see Mermista being an overt goof in her overserious delivery style is just hilarious and kinda precious.

All of these are wonderful examples of amazing heart wrenching episodes but I would like to shed some light on my favourite not as heart wrenching episodes Mer-Mysteries. I adore it. It focuses on Mermista and Double Trouble, 2 of my favourite characters and it's a murder mystery styled episode, something I adore. System Failure. We get introduced to Entrapta, my lovely little nerd and it's funny. Entrapta's workers are entertaining side characters that I do wish we got more of and in the main fight we get Bow being a badass. Reunion. Reunion is a familial episode, something we don't get in the show, unless it's depressing. I love Bow's dads and their concern and then support in relation to what Bow does. The slight sadness about the fact that he was scared to tell his dads that he wanted to explore rather then be a scholar. It's great. Boys' Night Out. I really just love Seahawk and Bow and you add a magical talking horse, it's great and funny. This next and last one doesn't really fit with the others but it deserves a mention. Perils of Peekablue. It's a Scorpia centered episode. It hints to the romance of Perfuma and Scorpia, and the main plot thing is never seen. The closest we get is Double Trouble and they just make it even better. Scorpia sacrificing herself at the end makes it really sad and finishes it wonderfully. Thank you for reading this if you made it this far lmao 😂 I know it's a lot but I needed something to cheer me up after remembering each of the episodes in the video

this is for myself if anything since I keep coming back to this video while rewatching the series: 1:29 0. Heart 2:43 10. Light Spinner 4:39 9. Once Upon a Time in the Waste 6:04 8. Hero 7:44 7. Destiny pt 2 8:58 6. The Portal 10:40 5. Remember 11:20 4. Save the Cat 13:28 3. Failsafe 15:20 2. Promise 16:47 1. Corridors

Omg Five by five takes finally came back with she ra content I love your videos

Promise and Corridors being your top two is so real Both expanded on Cadora's relationship

17:56 I wholeheartedly agree 🥰 In no small part due to the fact that by S5, they understand SO much of each other’s pain 🥺

Don't think I wouldn't notice that "[oprah i love bread]" before "I LOVE parallels" captioning XD 2:45

This is quite late but I’m so glad people are still talking about this masterpiece of a show. I felt like it’s been forgotten❤️‍🔥

I'm happy to see that my top 2 is exactly the same. No Princess Left Behind, Princess Scorpia and Reunion are some of my favorites that weren't in this list. As well as the pilot episode, which I think sets up the story so well.

I used many of your videos to help me make my English project. I'm hoping to convince a class of 40 to watch the show: wish me luck! 😂

I hace your catra and adora videos saved for whenever I want to feel anything. My top 10 is save the cat x10

These videos are always top quality, filled with empathy and gentle yet cutting insight. As always, thank you for sharing.

I loved Corridors so much too, the Glimmer and Catra moments were so heartwarming, and the ending was really crushing

Princess Prom was the first episode that I feel like made the series really stand out. It had been fine up until that moment, but that's when it started becoming transcendent to me. All the episodes you listed were definitely better than it in retrospect... But that one will always stand out to me as the beginning of really enjoying the series. Plus, Catra in that suit alone is worth at least a thousand points :P

At first I was like, "Really? Save the Cat is only #4?" and then you mentioned failsafe and promise and corridors and im like damn. I forgot how many absolute banger episodes this show has. Just watching these clips and hearing the music is getting me emotional.

Such an amazing show. And you made me realize things I didn't notice before! Thank you for enhancing my experience of the show.

8:13 OMG I never even REALISED this parallel but of COURSE! 😱

Greetings #Five × Five Takes, thank you for the new material! I agree that rankings are a challenge - what criteria should one weigh more heavily than the others? - but you've done the job of making me/us think. For myself, ranking #2 - through #10 would be an appalling task, but #1 must go to "Hero" (I know, no Catra, blasphemy!). The time transitions were so smooth, and the scripting so perfect, it just left me speechless. My S/O and I, sitting at home in the "computer room" actually applauded at the end of "Hero", it was that good. (We only started watching SPOP this spring; had never heard of it before, it only came across my radar because some reactionary went wackaloon complaining about it...)

Good to know people are still talking about this show, I honestly thought everyone forgot about it.

i feel Hero is by far my personal top, while i usually cant put episodes or books over one another, i will say the story of madam razz, how we get such a big dive into maras character, the big reveal of the heart of etheria was amazing, and madam razz leaving the pie for mara. That episode always makes me cry. This show was so well made, its amazing and by far one of my favorites to watch (cough cough roll with it cough)

Once upon a time in the waste is probably my favorite episode. Seeing such a raw expression of Adora getting increasingly upset only to be constantly cut off by Catra's story is so perfect on a meta level, and we know Adora takes every chance she has to ignore her feelings. I find the pacing and character beats line up perfectly in this episode

Definitely great episode choices for a top 10 episode list for She-ra and the princesses of power. I personally can't make a top 10 episode list for this series because I like many episodes for the wholesome moments and many episodes for the serious moments, while there are some great episodes that I like yet still have a hard time watching because of some hard and painful moments. This is still a great list of many of my favorite episodes of the series. Side note: when Adora and Catra talked during the episode "Corridors", their last conversation was actually during the flutterina episode in season 4. Do you think you can make a video about this Adora and Adam from the 2021 cgi He-man and the masters of the universe series? I know that they are from different continuities and shows, but Adora and Adam are still twin siblings, regardless of which shows they are on. The fact that they haven't been reunited on screen since the original She-ra series is still my biggest nitpick of this She-ra series. The closest we get to a mention of He-man is a throwaway line from one of Bow's dads. Adora doesn't even know what happened to her family in her series, and has mainly shown concern with that with the season 3 premiere episode. I honestly like more of family bonding with Adora and Adam, especially considering that in She-ra and the princesses of power, Adora's family might still be out there.

great video! watching this made me want to rewatch tbh its been so long

yes i love this! I absolutely love how you analyze every character and episodes. It's so nice seeing you explain each and every detail out about how deep it really is and the turning points of the story. When Catra is being absolutely cruel and want to be accepted by SW broke my heart to, but i also loved when she finally broke from all that, but just to encounter Prime who was 10 times worse... the trauma... which you also see Catra react to sw touch in the failsafe as they are invisible, and they get exposed by the enemy. Adora breaking the sword, and come to realize that she needed was love, but still didn't quite get it until the very end. *cough* because sw/prime manipulation *cough* which made her go into the failsafe despite seeing that Catra was scared, and shaking. Which also was one more of the reasons she did go in because of catra and everyone else of course. despite Catra not wanting her to go in, and Adora's Hero complex kicking in. But overall glad of how everything ended! love your videos!

Hey there! I found ya via your POI videos and I've got to say I love your takes on She-ra, and NGL, never thought I'd see the intersection between the two fandoms like i have seen in this channel which covers both

You never cease to surprise me with new insights and analysis on episodes I've seen multiple times. I feel like I always gain something, which is just a credit to the show as a whole: there are always more layers to uncover and discoveries to make. Basically, what I'm saying is if you want to make future She-Ra videos, I'm all for it!

I love your she-ra videos so much, never stop

great video! you never disappoint :) most of not all of the episodes you put in the video are my personal favorites as well. i just love this show so much!

Alright! Time to rewatch the whole thing for like the 12th time 😁 I LOVE your videos on She-Ra, like all your videos are good, but this is my comfort food

oh my goodness, with each new video of yours im literally always amazed by your way of phrasing your thoughts and the wording itself TT hard to find right words cause this is my second language, but to sum it up(even if a bit messily) AAAAAAAAA WHAAAA YES daaaaaaamn so good ooooooff amazing how can I be in love with a literal text whaaaaaaaaaaa speechless TT

Personally Save The Cat is my favorite, even edging out the finale slightly. For all the reasons you gave, basically. It's perfectly dramatic.

hurray! more she-ra content!

Ah I can’t get over how great this show is Great list, bows crop top moments was top tier. I often think of that when I need a chuckle.

Not "THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING" oh my God, I'm crying xDD

She-Ra is a show I didn't expect to love. But it really took me by surprise and now it's probably my favourite show of the 2010's (maybe even of all time, though eternity is such a silly concept in itself). Unfortunately, my brain doesn't remember individual episode names that much, so I mostly recall different moments - the one with strategy meeting, the one where Kyle finally gets to shine for a moment, the episode with Bow's fathers, all the times Adora gets her "disfunction", and of course all the times there's focus on Netossa and Spinnerella. That said, I'm glad you've made this list, because it reminds me of all the ones I'm missing. 😀 I'll try to give them a rewatch before Netflix can think of taking them down.

Corridors is so fricking good. It makes me cry, but it also made my macho roommate cry when he saw it. When Catra apologizes for the first time in her life, **that shit hiiiiiits**

I thought you said, "being in a big mood right now," instead of "move," and instantly thought of the Mermista ice cream scene. 😅

Damn even the clips of those scenes made me cry, this show really wrecked me in the best way possible. Also I love your analysis video on she-ra thank you so much for your work.

Please continue doing shera videos I love them so so much and u always do an amazing job

Would you consider doing your Top 10 Least Favourite Episodes of SPOP? I know some people get oversensitive when this is discussed but I like hearing what makes the ep fall short & what could’ve made it rise just that little bit more - hope you consider it 🤞 (we eat up ANY She-Ra content you produce❣️)

before going into this ranking i had a sneaking suspicion corridors would be at the spot it is HAHA its just such a good episode for every character involved and i love witnessing the parallels from previous memory related episodes and especially how her staring at her younger self is what broke the dynamic but staring at adora's younger self is what helped her turn around again. the parallels in especially season 5 in general get me every time (save the cat vs heart pt. 2 i'm a sucker for LOOOL) love your videos!!

This is the best list of episodes, I love how you balance character moments, art, plot, and relation to the main drive of the story One episode that I absolutely love that I think gets overlooked is ties that bind. I only really like the B plot tbh (I think that’s how it’s used?) because I love seeing bow, glimmer, and Catra interact. They all three have close connections with the main character and it’s nice to see the similarities and differences between motives. Catra and glimmer were v similar in this episode, but the things that motivate them were different and I think this is also really seen in corridors. If not for ties that bind, we wouldn’t have had that chemistry and balance between Catra and glimmer and perhaps why both of them are close (or were close-) to Adora

No notes! Corridors had to be on top. Sometimes when I want to watch some she ra without starting from the beginning, I'll just watch the last season starting from that episode. I love that her clarity comes from essentially being forced to be alone with her thoughts without distraction, probably for the first time. Also, the weight of the apology when juxtaposed against her younger self promising never to do so. Excellent video as always. My media literacy isn't completely awful, but there are always things that sail past me. Particularly in the case of she ra, I find myself enjoying the story much more having watched these breakdowns. Thanks!
