anime to check out to react to: demon slayer fmab death note my hero academia jujutsu kaisen the seven deadly sins

I know you mentioned being a bit confused about the portal. To clarify, nothing that happened in the portal was in Adora's head. The fact that Catra holds the side of her face that Adora punched when they return is evidence of that =] Also, something interesting and very telling about this episode is up until this point Adora's always put the blame on Shadow Weaver's shoulders or her own, for what Catra's been doing. That look she gives her says 'I can't make excuses for you anymore...Pulling the switch wasn't on Shadow Weaver's, or the Horde's orders. You chose to do this.' A really heartbreaking moment in this very emotional episode ^^; I also love your reviews and look forward to more

I cried during this one ✊😔

After seeing all the Horde Ships... Shall I summon Wakanda's Dora Milaje? While I'm at it, maybe even summon Capt. Marvel and THE AVENGERS, 'cause it looks like Adora and friends will be in need of dire help.

Can I say that you 2 are my favorite reactors every and forever ❤️

That's not even a choice at that point.

@@dynamicworlds1 definitely not a choice! 😭😭😭😭

And I choose to cry

​@@dynamicworlds1not a choice for even the most heartless people

It's even more heartbreaking when you realize that Adora didn't hear that, she heard: "Take care of everyone."

@@faithjolley6034 I don't know if you mean in the metaphorical or literal sense, (if you mean metaphorical, you are absolutely right and I agree with you) but Adora definitely heard the "each other" part, it's just that her savior complex and sense of responsibility towards everyone made her turn "each other" into "everyone".

Same, dude. Same

Insert that Harry Potter meme they made with Angella, Adora, and Glimmer's faces lol

Right? I just started watching and when he said that I was like… 🫢

i remember right ❤

Wait when, I can't see them

Aimee Carrero is just. Such a great actor. Her voice is so expressive. She's so creative and I think that her voice was perfect for Adora.

The voice acting is one of the best things about this show. You can tell that every single member of the cast was very passionate about this story, even when a large chunk of it was botched due to bad writing in Season 5. Heck, they even managed to get Geena Davis involved and she's a well known actress outside of this show. Christine Woods is my favourite member of the cast. Entrapta's my favourite character but even if you take that fact out of the equation, I feel like Christine grew the most as an actress throughout the show. When you compare her with AJ Michalka, Aimee Carrero, Karen Fukuhara or Lorraine Toussant, they were amazing right from the start. In comparison, Christine took longer to find her voice and occasionally slipped out of character. However, to quote Entrapta "Imperfection is beautiful" and it's partially BECAUSE Christine didn't have as much raw talent as the others that I appreciate how much passion she put into her work and the fact that she kept getting better as the series went on. She knows that she has to work for her success and is grateful for her opportunities, which is refreshing because many actresses are spoiled brats these days. By the time we reached Season 5, Christine developed her voice acting skills to a point where she and Keston John could carry the entire season by themselves. I'd be totally happy to watch a spinoff that's focussed entirely on Entrapta and Hordak because they were the best part of the series.

@@tomnorton4277 Wait, what was wrong with Season 5?

@@angryretailbanker5103 Catra's redemption arc was poorly written and Adora and Glimmer had to be character assassinated to make it happen. The Adora from Season 4 would have treated Catra with the same distain and mistrust as she treated Shadow Weaver. As for Glimmer, she would NEVER have gotten so chummy with Catra without at least confronting her about Angella's death. Also Wrong Hordak wasted time that should have been dedicated to the actual Hordak.

@@tomnorton4277 lol character assasainated?

LMAO

Oh my god I hear it now! Thank you for that fun fact!

@@krystaloftheshores Since I already know this, I might as well bless everyone else with the knowledge as well.

I did not know this! I will take note now!!

Since a lot of you didn't know about Micah's voice actor, I feel obligated to say another voice acting fun fact; Jordan Fisher also plays Sea Hawk (which I was incredibly shocked to find out)!

NO WONDER I GOT THE SAME VIBE FROM THEM!!!!!

While I agree that it's a powerful moment I don't think it's actually all that powerful for Adora so much as Catra while being a baby step for Adora. Adora stands up to Catra plenty even if she hasn't argued back against this specific line before, the significance isn't in standing up to Catra but that by proxy she's starting ( in a very small way for the moment ) to stand up against the notion that she's responsible for everything and everyone. In rejecting the idea that she's responsible for Catra's actions she's taking the first tentative step down that path. If this was Adora standing up to an authority figure I'd absolutely be onboard for it being a big freaking deal for her but she's not there yet, but she's starting on that path so that's something. Catra's challenge is acknowledging the role she's playing in her own suffering as well as those around her where this moment as well as a few others closely associated with it mark a decisive turning point for her character as she's no longer able to convince herself that she's not a co-author to her awful life story at this point.

Especially heartbreaking when in the previous episode we see the playful bond they had where they clearly liked each other 🥲

As a powerful moment it is, sadly it gets wasted later one.

Tried really hard it's strech to say the least, she tried a few times gave up

@@idk-ye7ur Didn't I already discuss this with you? Come on, please stop posting these comments, especially under my own that have literally nothing to do with your weird Catra-hating obsession. Like I said, if all you're gonna do is complain, pease stop watching. Also, how is this moment wasted later in any way?

yeah, tomorrow will be a really sad day

You might want to have a box of tissues from here on out

Congratulations. You've finished the "part slice of life, part war" half of the show. Welcome to the *"It's all War"* half.

You're gonna need a bigger napkin.

@@thegreendragon5390 Amen

I knew what was coming, but it still hurts.

Im pretty sure she thought it would be the last time she saw any of them, but she didn't tell them that. Did not ask for help. How could she, after creating this portal?

​@@tipsy634 Entrapta is such a wonderful person. Easily the greatest character in the series.

As a girl with autism I am slightly biased but she is the most real and relatable character in the show for me

Amazing, yes!

That’s amazing I never noticed that 😍😭

What's incredible is hordak and scorpia never even existed in this version of reality, they were both destroyed by the Portal, and yet deep down portal!Entrapta missed them.

​@@tipsy634 You realise that both Hordak and Scorpia were fully present in this version of reality just last episode, right?

@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain no, because by the time they reached dryl, the horde had already been wiped out of existence. hordak and scorpia no longer existed.

I thought it was because by this point the Fright Zone is gone, meaning that as far as anyone is concerned it never even existed. No Fright Zone, no Horde, no war.

fr tho spoilers for anyone who hasnt finished: normally we'd at least get the best friend squad being all cute but theyre fighting in season 4 ;-; that and catra being her worst self is the reason why i havent been able to rewatch this season (aside from Hero and Destiny 1 & 2), it just hurts :(

Lol when they were like "Catra crossed a line here that she can never uncross and Adora will actually fight her now" all I could do was cry laugh. I'm not ready to watch them watch the next two seasons.

Your username is genuinely incredible

I cannot believe how many viewers call the warped reality a simulation. As you explained, Entrapta mentioned it twice.😊

@Books and Tv Geek Yeah thats so sad and brutal she'll most definitely go insane by being alone for all of eternity.

i think (and this is just my opinion) that the show wanted to portray to children the sadness of losing a loved one and grieving one's loss but in a representatively good way where everything would be like, "they're not really gone, they're up there watching over us" no one's gone.

@@itakerollsofcheese6907 that's honestly a buetifull way of looking at it. Entrapta did say "think of all the data they could collect" so maybe she's able to see in both dimensions from where she is tho it still feels sad to still be there even after glimmer is gone.

SPOILERS FOR ALL OF SHE RA, DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT ALL. I was hoping they made a movie of the best friend squad going out to find a way to save Angela 😭

@@SirSpitsAlotable again spoilers for She-ra Same, it feels unfortunate that they didn't do that. We never got that closure for Angella. They'll always keep her In their hearts but they speak like she's dead when she's littearly still out there. Don't get me wrong tho, I loved the direction they took with her story and how everyone handled the situation afterwards but it's just so sad and especially brutal for her.

🥲!?

@@PxndaCakes Prepare many tissues.

Kenny Genius Counter: ♾

Yeah, that moment in that Season 1 episode when he said that, I was like 😬

@@emilyprice178 same

STOP I'M ALREADY CRYING

So is Angella.

@@karlwilker579 no she didn't 😂😂😂😂

@@karlwilker579 you-

@@karlwilker579 why!!!!!!

@@livandavaholdsworth5072 Because she selflessly sacrificed herself.

Unfortunately Adora took it as "take care of Glimmer"

Because that’s how Adora thinks. But an attempt was made on Angella’s part, and I appreciate that.

As understandable as Catra is, she is absolutely her worst enemy and drags herself and others down with her.

nightmare catra was not actually herself, because she says "everything is worse since you came from that portal". the real catra has no idea that baby adora came from a portal. only adora does. she was a manifestation of all of adora's anxieties.

Hero made me cry too T-T

Spoilers for Hero: "For you, Mara dearie."

@@quogarum5826 Same, that episode makes me cry as hard as this episode.

Can't wait for Double Trouble Vibe-Checking Catra

I think Micah wouldn't trust a reality-warping portal to give him accurate information about the outside world. And I'm pretty sure no one fully remembers or is aware of what happened in the portal except for Catra and Adora.

Spoilers discussion!! @@Marta-uv4id I agree. I didn't really think about the fact that Micah saw Glimmer as a teenager in the portal reality until seeing this comment, but I think you're right that Micah wasn't in a position to take what he saw in the portal as an indication as to what reality was like outside of Beast Island at that time. I figured that he didn't know how much time had passed while he was on Beast Island because while on Beast Island you have to be hyper-vigilant about your mental and emotional state so as not to be driven insane by the island (on top of trying not to get eaten by the creatures), so Micah never had the chance to think about how much time was passing, he was in constant survival-mode. And as an extension to that, I doubt he would have even had the chance to really think about what happened in the portal reality (in order to realise that it might give him an indication of Glimmer's actual age now) because as soon as the portal was closed, he was back into survival mode.

@@emilyprice178 I absolutely agree, I mean, thinking about things that might not even be real wouldn't exactly be my first priority while deadly beasts are chasing me.

@@Marta-uv4id Especially when you're trying to keep your cool so that you don't go insane from the spooky machines.

Crab in a barrel mentality, drag everyone else down. If im miserable, everyone else should be.

wait how far are you on the show?

@@eddy1516 is what I wanna know too!

It absolutely IS a spoiler to say that Angella isn't coming back. Did you not see Kenny and Montana speculating how we might see her again?

@@frankwales yeah but there is no foreshadowing or any discussion of her being able to come back after this episode. No one talks about the possibility of her coming back or not being dead after it happens, just the consequences of her being gone. So them thinking she might come back all the time might be detrimental to how they see glimmer arc in season 4, since a lot of people we’re like: “well this is all pointless because She-ra wouldn’t have the balls to kill Angela, she’s just going to come back and everything will be fixed!” Though of course, I think Kenny and Montana are more perceptive and emotional then that to take the character arcs for granted, but it can still worsen their experience.

@@palomaroggeri8680 It's still a spoiler to take story options off the table while labelling them 'not a spoiler', and I think Kenny and Montana are mature enough to cope with whatever happens.
