There doesn't seem to be a dedicated thread for Netflix's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (SPOILERS!)

Because we just finished the fifth and final season, and goddamn! No series has made cry this much since Steven Universe! And it turned to be even more pro-LGTBQ than SU was... I knew showrunner Noelle Stevenson is gay and they already introduced a pair of supporting queer characters (Spinnerella and Netossa) in the first season, but they really went there with the final one, right? And it didn't come out of the left field like Legend of Korra's similar ending, it was right there from the start, they just brought the subtext into text. And the general themes of the vicious circles of toxic personality traits, growing past them, accepting self-love as well as the love of others, it was just beautiful! Quite an achivement for a reboot of a spinoff of a toy marketing cartoon, I think.

Indeed it is. I was a bit disappointed it ended only after 5 seasons (or actually 4, as seasons 2 and 3 were really just one season split in half), but OTOH the dramatic arc was done really well with no needless padding. Each season raised the stakes higher, and when you got to meet the ultimate bad guy and his army at the end of season 4, it makes sense for the next one to end with the final battle against them.

I guess the last lines of the finale sort of left the door open for a possible sequel series, and of course there's several unanswered questions left (like the fate of Angella or the remaining First Ones), so who knows?

There was a wrap-up zoom and it was received... poorly.

Here is the clip of a fan in an email calling Entrapta and Hordak some of the best representation they ever saw. You can find Noelle's comment on the fan's email at the 39 minute mark in the panel on Twitch. pic.twitter.com/Frvvx2c3Kx

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!
