Ayesha Liveblogs She-Ra S4

Loving the intro additions: Glimmer’s hair, Mara, a winged friend

Also Scorpia’s frown and Pointy Teeth Antagonist eep!!

“Must be hard celebrating, what with Angella being gone.” Not to keep harping on it, but continuously the captions on this show are incorrect!!!! They take out key words that change the meaning, like Micah saying “this woman” instead of “this young woman,” or dropping the word “celebrating” here. It is a problem!!

“The moonstone’s elemental power has been balanced between you and your mother since you were born.” Oooh world-building!

HAHAHAHA Glimmer asking Mermista to do the flowers just because she’s standing in front of her while Perfuma sobs in the background

“But she didn’t betray us, she just wanted us to save us from the portal [...]” “Entrapta betrayed Hordak!” Catra doubles down on the lies. I wonder how many problems would be solved on this show if Catra were capable of sharing attention

“And we’re bad at quests.” Harsh but fair, Glimmer:

“Recharging would mean taking the moonstone’s full power for myself. It would mean admitting that she’s really gone.” Oh Glimmer 💔

It’s very touching how these three are trying to navigate grief

“I wish I didn’t have to leave you. But I know you will be alright. Because you are Glimmer, and you are so, so strong.” ANGELLA 😭😭😭

One episode into the season and I am already so emotional about this:

LMAO @ BOW THINKING PERFUMA’S USING METAPHORS TO TALK ABOUT HOW SHE DOESN’T GET HUNTARA BUT REALLY SHE’S GOT A VENDETTA AGAINST CACTI

“Huntara can track anything in the Waste,” said Huntara, about herself

“I don’t like not fighting.” HAHAHHA Huntara cracks me up

This lizard character reminds me of that creature from the Witcher series that like, eats faces lol

“And I was definitely wrong about you, flower girl!” <3 <3 <3 Love Perfuma

I’ve been thinking this since they revealed Adora was a First One last season but surely if, as the Glowing Teamwork implies, She-Ra and the Princesses can tap into each other’s power, they must also be First Ones? Or at the very least, descendants of/connected to First Ones? Perfuma called it a gift, is this like a Sleeping Beauty and her Fairy God Mothers situation

[To Huntara] “I’ve grown fond of this desert rose.” I don’t precisely know everyone’s ages here but Perfuma has chemistry with everyone she meets. Bow, Mermista, Huntara, I could be swayed for anyone

“I’d like to introduce you to Double Trouble. They’re our newest asset in taking down the Rebellion.” If I had a nickel for every time a blue-green reptile-adjacent doppleganger working towards the downfall of society was referred to as “they” in both the multiple sense and the non-binary sense in a Netflix show, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it is weird that it happened twice

Hordak thinks it’s Entrapta who is providing the rebellion with tech when in fact it is Best Boy Bow

Bow’s little “Hey,” and fragile expression when the kids are impressed by his arrows awwww:

Hahahaha when Adora and Bow soft gasp in unison and then Bow grabs Adora by the face. It’s Corey and Shawn from BMW energy. I will not elaborate

Introducing Flutterina who wants to join the Rebellion RIGHT AFTER inducting Double Trouble into the Horde is suspicious ngl

“I always say, ‘Cautious today, here tomorrow.’” I feel like regardless of the potential PTSD, Mayor of Elberon is on to something

“You were the one who left the villagers unprotected.” Catra will really find a way to blame Adora for everything she has ever done in her life

“I know you think I’m just a kid, but I’m ready to join the Rebellion. I want to fight the Horde, and keep my people safe, just like She-Ra.” I don’t think you’re a kid, I think you’re a non-binary lizard performing an infiltration operation for the Horde

“Did it work?” “Like a charm. The plan is underway.” HA!!!!!! Immediate vindication

Side note: Catra telling Scorpia, “I don’t need to explain myself to you. We are not friends.” :( Rude Teen’s Guide to Alienating Everyone Who Cares About You

“What sort of role would the Princesses trust? Someone tooth-achingly cute, and pink.” Something I have been wondering: If Flutterina is supposedly a citizen of Elberon, does that mean there is a real Flutterina out there that Double Trouble replaced? Or, did Elberon not notice a new child, or is in the know about the espionage?

“You must decide for yourself what kind of Queen you will be.” Shadow Weaver said I have a new favourite teenage superhero to manipulate

Fjfkjfhkjfhfkj Bow doing a thumbs up and then realizing how painful it is to move his body no matter how minutely. Big fucking mood

“Ahhhh! It got me in the abs. The most vulnerable part of the body that I refuse to cover because I don’t own real shirts.” Double Trouble has pointed out Bow’s true weakness LOL

“You want to fight some bots! See Adora, she’s just as competitive as I am.” “This is why no one comes to game night anymore.” I genuinely can’t tell if Spinerella is competitive or if it’s just one-sided rivalry from her gf Netossa

[Weakly, after having been blasted] “Fourteen.” “What?” “That was 14 bots for me. I win.” LMAO I GUESS THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION

Honestly I feel like Glimmer’s position in this mission was a trolley problem. She had to prioritize protecting more people by disabling the Horde’s bots, or prioritize protecting the Princesses, who do have some abilities to support themselves. I understand her decision, and she came back for Adora right after!

“I live to serve. For a price of course.” HAHAHA @ Catra frowning about this transactional relationship with Double Trouble. This is what you get for telling Scorpia you’re not friends

“Mara was compromised. She became unhinged.” Honestly Light Hope’s anti-Mara sentiment is also suspicious. What’s your beef

Fkjhgkjhgkjg Light Hope rebooting to end a conversation is the emotional equivalent of ‘I wasn’t looking at my phone’

Am I just now realizing that Rogelio doesn’t speak in anything but growls after four whole seasons LOL

“Oh! I have just now learned how to move about the castle.” Light Hope’s reboot is pretty endearing

[Elated] “I made a crystal.” I love you sweet robot lady

“You guys are the only family I’ve ever had.” Oh Kyle, that is so sad

“Oh, knock if off, Kyle.” “YOU knock it off, Kyle,” said Kyle to Lonnie in what I can only describe as the perfect comeback

Light Hope for Mara’s ancient immortal robot ex-BFF/gf?? Did not see coming

“Her memory brings me warmth.” OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Awwwww they are Kyle’s family! I’m glad we’re finally getting some emotional development from the back-up Horde squad:

[Rogelio gives heartfelt speech in growls.] [Lonnie and Kyle look at each other perplexed and Kyle chuckles.] “Hey, you too buddy. Probably.” KHKJHKJH I was hoping they spoke Growl but the implication that they truly just don’t fucking understand Rogelio. Poor guy, no one to listen to him since childhood

“This memory should’ve been purged per directive of the Heart of Etheria Project. Permanently delete.” EVERYTHING SUSPICIOUS IMMEDIATELY COMES UP

Scorpia having two mums on the picture on her desk. I love how much queer couples are woven into the fabric of this show. I see what people meant by we’re living in a post She-Ra world

“And the way you let Adora give you orders even though you’re the Queen,” BOOOOO Flutterina, stop sowing discord

“I will return to his side victorious, worthy.” The concerned face Catra made when Hordak said “worthy” is the face you make when your dad says something at the dinner table that accidentally reveals a deep-seated childhood trauma and causes you to re-evaluate your view of his whole life:

“Glimmer, would you like to try phrasing that a little more constructively?” “Everything I’m doing is to protect people, is to protect you. I’m not asking you to trust Shadow Weaver, but can’t you at least trust me?” “Of course, I trust you, Glimmer.” Double Flutterina underestimated the Best Friend Squad’s greatest power!!! Family therapy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“The whole Fright Zone used to be my family’s kingdom. But then Hordak showed up, and you know, the rest is history. It’s not like the Black Garnet ever worked for me anyway.” Fully forgot that the Black Garnet used to belong to Scorpia’s family omg????

Ooof @ her losing her whole home to the Horde before she could even remember. We hate space colonization

“Catra doesn’t care. She’ll hurt people to get her way.” It took Scorpia four whole seasons, but she got there

Scorpia’s a way better friend to Emily the Robot than Catra has ever been to anyone LOL

Also. Also also also. Catra does not realize that Emily’s recordings literally incriminate her for getting rid of Entrapta LOL

“You’re bad friend.” Turns out, the best way to hurt Catra is being honest

“You and I are going to conquer Etheria. And then, and then they’ll all see!” “Yes. We will prevail. Give me another day, and I will be ready.” HAHAHAHHA Catra has accidentally discovered that Hordak’s love language is words of affirmation. I can’t believe she escaped Hordak’s wrath just by using a peptalk

For all Hordak has like. Terrorized society. He’s pretty bad at disciplining anyone directly LOL

“We’re getting out of here, Emily. For good.” YEAHHHHH SCORPIAAAAA

“Where were you when the murders happened?” “Don’t think you can get away with it. Although, there still aren’t any murders, Mermista.” “YET.” I love this buddy-detective duo of Mermista and Perfuma lmao

Lmao @ them finally introducing more men with a speaking role in this ep. I love that up until now we’ve been failing the Reverse Bechdel test:

Gjhgkjhgkjhg Bow thinking he could be the spy despite it being impossible. Me when I do my criminal record checks even though I know my record is clean, wondering if I will turn up for a crime I didn’t know I committed

Speaking of men, I have missed Sea Hawk terribly. He is a delight

“What has [Shadow Weaver] done other than help us?” Traumatize your best friend for sixteen years and entice a minor (your dad) to do dark magic

“Have you guys been here the entire time?” LMAO AT THE DRYL KITCHEN STAFF MAKING THEIR APPEARANCE FOR THIS SILLY EPISODE.

Honestly. The silliness is a boon bc I’ve been finding this show has been draining for me this season kgjkhgjgh. I love filler, sue me

“We’ve ruled out all other suspects. Which means the only person the spy could be is one of us.” AND SOMEHOW NO ONE HAS PROPERLY QUESTIONED FLUTTERINA, WHO HAS KNOWN THEM THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME, AND IS ALWAYS STARTING FIGHTS BETWEEN ADORA AND GLIMMER?

AYYYYYYYYYYYYY THEY GOT THEM!!!!

Good on Adora for being able to trust Shadow Weaver, at least for the extent of this plan

“The Battle of Salineas is over. It happened earlier this very evening. It’s too late. Salineas is gone.” OH NO POOR MERMISTA, POOR SALINEAS

Whoever did the direction for this scene has definitely seen Mulan, because it’s almost exactly the Girl Worth Fighting For Transition, down to the position of the flag, the overlooking a cliff and the child’s doll:

Gjlkgjlkgj why’d Glimmer get mad for Sea Hawk not already being on the boat when she was literally transporting people he’d helped to evacuate! She knows he can’t teleport LMAO

“I’ll be back for you.” You know, as sad as it is that Glimmer doesn’t have Angella, it does make a lot of sense for her own personal growth, because it was hard for her to move autonomously when she still had to follow her mother’s orders

Hugujgyugyuguyg [me chanting in unison with Swift Wind] BOYS NIGHT OUT, BOYS NIGHT OUT

Is Catra’s title General yet? I feel like it definitely should be, as heavy a hand as she has had in Hordak’s moves this season

Fucking love that what’s going on with the Rebellion is Sea Hawk and Bow is a musical number on a top of a bar:

“After all, she taught me how to speak Seagull.” Enamoured with Seahawk. I want him to be in MY throuple with Perfuma

Cannot believe they’ve named this antagonist Admiral Scurvy lol

Hate to say it, but Scurvy’s kind of handsome

“Hey Scorpia, where are you?” Classic Catra assuming that even if she doesn’t hear an answer, Scorpia drop everything to hang out with her. Scorpia’s right. You need to re-evaluate your friendship behaviour

“Maybe your best isn’t good enough. If it was, maybe my mother would still be here!” I was waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one. Honestly, I was surprised it didn’t come up immediately when Angella was lost

“THE BOYS ARE IN TROUBLE! A SEAGULL TOLD ME!” Mermista has also been particularly endearing these last couple episodes. Princess of Ice Cream with a Fallen Kingdom, Obssessed with Mermaid Murder Mysteries, Talks to Seagulls

“So why am I always the only one willing to work at [friendship]?” Damn Bow, been there, it’s rough

Hahahahah I’d wondered if the musical number was a one-off but turns out it’s a musical episode. I support it

I feel like this episode has finally got me to understand the dynamic of Mermista and Sea Hawk’s relationship

He’s the ballad and she’s the rock remix. She’s the rescuer and he’s the rescued. She’s the detective and he’s the detectable. She wants to teach him to speak to seagulls, and he wants to learn to talk Seagull. They love singing, fighting and the sea. I hope they live long and happy lives together and have musical pirate babies

“My name isn’t Adora. It’s Mara.” OHHHHHHH prequel episode!!! Also kgjkjghgj at Madame Razz getting everyone’s name wrong forever

Light Hope smiling down at Mara when she gets bopped on the head. They WERE girlfriends, I think

God I LOVE Mara’s transformation. Brown-skinned fighting princess <3

“She-Ra was here long before your people arrived. You cannot control magic. Magic simply is.” Then why do only the royal families seem to use magic now!!!

The narrative structure of this episode is SO interesting. No wonder Madame Razz messes up names if she’s continuously being transported from past to present

Are we finally going to find out what the Heart of Etheria project Light Hope mentioned was!!!

“How will destroying worlds bring peace?” The space colonization boot’s on the other foot now I guess

The weapon being Etheria does track. A planet as a bomb is common trope. I think it shows up twice in Marvel movies

Just double-checked, and yes this is the plot of GOTG Vol. 2 (2018) and Eternals (2021) LOL

Unsurprised that Glimmer and Shadow Weaver are pro-planet weapon LOL. Again, Angella, this is what happens when you don’t talk to your kids

“I don’t have a bed time, I can go to bed whenever I want,” said Frosta, who was literally an orphan

Truly the Bright Moon Way is ‘Fight First, Think Later’ Do you not remember all the Bright Moon guards chasing Adora almost four full seasons ago, who was also a Horde soldier, without hearing a word she had to say?

“Scorpia would be here if everything was fine.” 🎶 Catra, you don’t get to have a psychological breakdown over problems you cause yourself 🎶

KHGKJHGKJHGKJGH I’m Perfuma, immediately won over by this:

Scorpia: You all seem really good at friendship.

Perfuma: 🥺 You’re here to learn how to be a good friend? 🥺

(Though tbh, I’ve always liked Scorpia, she’s the best of the teenagers who have plotted the downfall of society. She’s always just trying to make the best of a bad situation)

“Why can’t you trust me in this?” “Because you’re wrong!!!” A concise and truthful response from Bow

“I’ll be up, if you want to talk more.” PRINCESS SCORPIA <3

Wow, I bet Glimmer is ALSO gonna have a psychological breakdown over her friends leaving. Catra and Glimmer are gonna have so much in common

Gljhkgjhjghkjghkjhgjgh stunning realism of this spin and crash for the two teens who’ve never flown a spaceship before

Okay. Not to be anti-talking horse. But I’m anti-talking horse. I prefer non-verbal spiritually-bonded-and-convenient-transport-animals like Appa in ATLA

Maybe it’s specifically the genre of voice acting and quirky-but-unthinking little sidekick characterization. I also felt this same disdain for Ol@f in Frozen LMAO

“Who is that guy?” I’m gonna guess King Micah, mostly because Portal!Micah implied he wasn’t dead but also because he’s using magic without anything to channel it:

Update from one (1) minute later: It was King Micah LOL

Am I wrong for objectifying King Micah because I am a bit. I love this crazy shirtless man who lives in the ruins of Beast Island

“Sounds like my babygirl. Always in a hurry to grow up and be friends with the older kids.” :(((((((( Micah has no idea how old Glimmer is, huh

Does the signal prey on hopelessness? Because Micah didn’t get absorbed into it until he learned Angella is gone :(

I’m sure Glimmer stepping into the spooky light while volunteering to use a planetary weapon isn’t a symbol of anything:

“The Princesses are conduits for the Heart’s power. They must all be connected to their runestones for the Heart of Etheria to function.” So, they need Scorpia to connect to her runestone? This doesn’t bode well for Scorpia making real friends

They again delivered on that immediately LOL. Also seems unfair that all the other Princesses get manual dexterity for their magic and Scorpia gets big ‘ole pincers

LOL @ Shadow Weaver getting defensive. The Black Garnet was Scorpia’s family’s runestone to begin with

“You mean the Heart of Etheria? Why didn’t you say so?” LMAO ENTRAPTA WOULD KNOW THE PLANET IS ABOUT THE BLOW UP AND NOT TELL ANYONE

“We used to be your friends, why are you treating us like this?” Catra has never maintained a single friendship in her life

“You are without allies, without your prisoner and without a plan.” Hate to say it, but I’m with Shadow Weaver on this one

“Victory is ours.” Honestly Hordak, it seems like victory is Catra’s. She’s orchestrated the majority of your successful plans ljghkjghkjhgj. You’ve been taught How to Space Colonize By An Evil Teenage Furry Lesbian

Also Daddy Hordak said: Catra is my new favourite daughter

“When the weapon is activated, it will channel all of its power into you. You don’t get to refuse.” Deeply fucked up as a concept, and specifically that Glimmer is going to turn her friend into a nuclear device

As a side note: Being a brown person with Muslim heritage, I always wonder if mentioning any kind of explosive will get me put on a watch list, regardless of the fact this is entirely discussing fiction. Anyone else get that feeling jhgkjhgjkhg

“My best friends left me,” said Glimmer, like they weren’t on a rescue mission trying to stop the fucking planet from exploding and simultaneously bringing her dad back in the process

Ghjkghkjghkgjh Bow giving a touching speech about how you have to work at friendship and Adora cutting across to Entrapta’s one and only priority: Fun alien tech

“I figured out the truth. You had Catra send Entrapta to Beast Island, so She-Ra would run off to rescue her.” Double Trouble proving that they truly have no loyalty to Catra. Love that for them

Ghkjhgkjhgkjhgkjh Catra’s favourite daughter status didn’t last long. Hordak misses Entrapta. I wonder if he’ll try to rescue her

Omg Hordak is crying. Daddy Hordak really does love Entrapta:

“But hey, take care of her.” Awww Lonnie!! I love the back-up Horde Squad immediately siding with Scorpia even lacking the context of their plan

How much damage will Hordak inflict upon his own fort out of anger with Catra??? Also this is the most we’ve seen him fight in this whole series. He’s really pissed about this

“You’re a defect. A mistake. Haven’t you noticed? I’m running things here.” Harsh but the latter part is true

Is Catra going to KILL Hordak? Seems a little extreme for her

All other things aside for a sec, Scorpia’s powers are pretty fucking cool:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh poor Adora, this is gonna suck for her

Honestly, respect for Double Trouble for using their last bit of time in the Fright Zone to mock Catra

“We’re the good guys, remember?” said Glimmer, like she wasn’t weaponizing the whole planet as they spoke

Bow and Entrapta seeing stars for the first time as Light Hope takes them out of Despondos (and into danger)

“Adora was right. Light Hope used me.” WHO WOULD’VE THUNK IT, EXCEPT LITERALLY EVERYONE BUT YOU (AND SHADOW WEAVER, WHO IS OUT OF HER MIND), GLIMMER, YOU STUPID [REDACTED]

I can’t believe that the three dumbest people on the planet (Hordak, Glimmer, and Catra) are all together in one room [Captain America voice] You took all the stupid with you

Eeeeeeeeeeee both Adora and Light Hope trying to rebel against the Heart of Etheria

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH broken sword??????

“Stay there, I’m coming,” was really lacklustre battle advice to someone who can teleport, Bow

It’s fun how Horde Prime, who Hordak was cloned from, has the same voice actor as Hordak. It’s like ‘I’m you, but sexier, more evil and slightly more appealing to the monster[redacted]!’

Lmao @ Hordak being immediately demeaned and supplanted. Unsurprising but rough

Now that I think about it. Isn’t this the exact plot of GOTG Vol. 2. Making little versions of yourself to reform all the planets

GHHGKJHGKJHGKJHKJ @ Catra deciding to help save the planet but only via endearing herself to Horde Prime

“Trust that your planet will become the jewel of my empire, and it will allow me to bring peace and order to the farthest reaches of the universe.” Gross. I feel like someone owes me reparations for this dialogue

“They took her. They took Glimmer.” “She-Ra’s gone. The sword is broken.” Bow and Adora are having a bad news competition and I’m not really sure who’s winning

Wow, these season finales are just getting grimmer and grimmer with time. At least the last season logically should have a happy ending, so with a view from the ground, the only way to go is up LOL (shout-out Commentarius)

#ayesha liveblogs she-ra #liveblogging #television #long post #ayesha says things #she-ra #obviously spoilers for all of s4 of she-ra lol #i said this to a friend but i did come into the series with the mistaken idea that it would maintain the levity of the first season LOL
