Entrapta can lift herself by her hair… Entrapta can LIFT HERSELF BY HER HAIR…

Can you imagine how much muscle and power she needs to do that? By the way she’s shown to not only hold herself by it but also to tuck her legs in(up?) while doing it, and let me tell you it’s not easy thing to do, and she does it for long periods of time, so doing things like this:

Take a lot of physical strength. If you look closely you can see that Hordak is not holding her in a way that would let her lift her legs like that by leaning on him, so she does that entirely on her own!

And also this moment from “Huntara”

Entrapta slammed him to that cloning tank and held him there. In my mind the kind of character that would physically be able to do something like that to Hordak is someone like Huntara, Scorpia or She-Ra because they are closer in hight and physique to him, but Entrapta does that effortlessly without even using her hair, yes, sure, the fact that he’s not resisting also there but a closet(a big heavy full with boots closet with wheels) won’t resist either yet it takes most people a second pair of hands to move it.

So my question is, how strong physically Entrapta actually is? And why? Does she work out?

Perfuma : Faun Druid (Circle of the Land)

Honestly, I chose Faun because many citizens of her kingdom closely resemble Fauns and Satyrs, and I thought she'd look so cute. Specifically, she'd be Circle of the Forest, so she always has Plant Growth and Commune with Nature prepared.

Scorpia : Simic Hybrid Barbarian (Path of the Beast)

Simic hybrid is so underrated, and between that & the Beast Barbarian Path, Scorpia would have insane AC, and both her claws and tail.

The Truth Of Appearances

One of the many secondary themes in She-Ra is appearances. Specifically, how false they are. People repeatedly put up facades that fool even themselves, and one of the villains of the entire story's whole gimmick is illusions and masks.

Enter episode five, The Sea Gate, and all the shenaniganry that accompanies that. This episode focuses almost entirely on that subtheme through the characters featured.

Let me explain.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Let's start with three of the characters who are introduced here. Sea Hawk, Mermista, and Scorpia.

Sea Hawk is introduced ego first. He is immediately preceded by feats and skills, he wins an arm wrestling match, then you hear his voice, then you finally see him. This is someone with a loud personality and a reputation that preceeds him. He's a somehow more annoying Han Solo, complete with a reference to the Kessel Run. Immediately, you are put in the mind of Star Wars and how over competent the character he's emulating is.

However, when you get to know this character, he's an idiot. He's all facade, with very little actual self-confidence, or actual skill. And he relies on force of personality to get him anywhere in life.

Mermista needs to be understood in relation to her kingdom, Salineas. Empty. Her people have abandoned her, and she is left with one guy helping her out, that being her guard/butler/harbourmaster. Salineas, like its ruler, is holding up this extremely strong facade. There's a literal wall there, but there's nothing actually there. It's empty, it has given up hope.

"It figures I would inherit a kingdom that's crumbling. But it's totally fine. I'm handling it."

This is the most blatant lie in the episode, and it is accompanied by a shot of someone staring out at a beautiful kingdom, with nothing in it. The gate that she needs to keep working is failing. This is someone who knows their foundation is crumbling.

Accompanying this with the small detail that her shoulders are flanked by statues, almost like the devil and angel on her shoulders. Tradition is keeping her stuck, tradition that she verbally mocks.

"Sure, because that went so great the first time."

And that's the key here. People are keeping up tradition for the sake of it, and that isn't working. Laura Greenwood is attributed the quote:

"Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people"

This very clearly fits with Mermista's whole deal. She's stuck trying to appease people who have long since faded.

Glimmer is in a similar situation, she's trying to impress her mother, an while Angella isn't dead, yet, there's still that attempt to appease and impress people.

The biggest symbol of this is the gate itself, created by the first ones, it has been handed down all the way to Mermista, but the first ones technology is failing, and so is the tradition that it symbolizes.

Scorpia is objectively the best character in this entire series. This isn't up for debate. I'm right. But, for the sake of discussion, let me delve into why.

Scorpia is the antithesis to every theme in the series. She is untraumatized, uncomplicated in terms of moral fiber, and when it comes to appearances and illusions, she is one of the few characters who doesn't engage with that. This is made extremely clear by her introduction. Take this shot for example:

Scorpia is designed to contrast Shadow Weaver here. Design wise, Shadow Weaver is covered from head to toe, and Scorpia doesn't believe in sleeves. Shadow Weaver uses her hair to make herself look bigger, Scorpia is genuinely that tall. Shadow Weaver is diminutive, and emotionally imposing, with a glare to fit, Scorpia is built like a brick privy and has an open smile. These two are opposites, and their influence on Catra is similar. Where Shadow Weaver is manipulative, Scorpia is entirely comfortable being a support character. And which way does Catra lean? We shall see as the series goes on.

The point I am getting at here is that Shadow Weaver embodies the themes of the series, Scorpia is a vital counterbalance to all of that malevolence.

Ok lets talk about Adora and She-Ra, because there is something fascinating here. She-Ra is uncomfortably close to Mr Hyde, the alter ego of Dr Jekyll in The Mysterious Case Of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

For context, Jekyll and Hyde are the archetypal split personality disorder in literature. But they aren't that in the actual book. In the original text, it is made clear that nothing changes in the transformation except the appearance.

I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both.

Jekyll just uses the formula to transform and as a cover up for his base desires. Hyde kills a guy, and that's not an alter ego doing its own thing, that's Jekyll getting all murdery because he is free from consequences. This is a story about addiction.

And what is She-Ra? She's a physical transformation, not a mental one, that Adora refers to as a different person, who is free to do things Adora can't. She's not villainous, but on a technical level, She-Ra and Mr Hyde fill the same function in their respective lives. They are an outlet for their desires. For Jekyll, this is crime, apparently, and for Adora, this is usefulness.

Just take a look at this big empty grin that she gives when Mermista points out her importance.

But who is Mermista thanking here?

"Your friend over there can turn into a, like, eight ft. tall lady with a sword, and I want her on my side."

Even subconsciously, this is attributing the usefulness to She-Ra, not Adora. And to someone who isn't quite sure if the two are the same, that's confusing.

I’d love to think that whenever Scorpia gets extremely excited about something she’s passionate about or anything fun that she enjoys doing with the others, her pincers will start to snap/click, and her tail wags rapidly to the point where it could almost smack someone in the face if they get too close. Scorpia, never change

rewatching once upon a time in the waste makes me so emo dude. because catra was so, so much happier the second she got far away from the horde. no constant question if she would be replaced, no constant need to justify every action, no feeling like the only reason people respected her was because of her rank. scorpia had shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that she cared about her, genuinely. I think that's why she was so carefree in the wastes. she was away from the constant expectations, and someone was watching her back. she could take her damn time because hordak didn't expect it all under a short deadline. she had scorpia to look out for her, they could goof off because they had time to mess around and she didn't have to constantly prove every single bit of worth. she showed she could do shit and people listened.

and the part that gets me is catra denying that she's miserable in the horde. when...yeah, she is. she literally hated it there, she was constantly stressed, she was constantly on the verge of a breakdown and it was completely unsustainable. scorpia was genuinely stating the facts. she hated the horde. she felt safe in the wastes because there was so much less pressure and she had someone who had her back. without that "come back with results, or else." over her head, she was so much less on edge.

but she goes back, because letting shadow weaver get away with hurting her feels like admitting defeat. it would be the best for her mental health, no doubt. but all she sees is that shadow weaver HAS to pay for what she did, she has to make her hurt like she did because of her. shes so caught up in rage and hurt. she could've been happy. she was just too scared to. she wanted to make shadow weaver feel the hurt she did, and all that ended up doing was denying herself what she really wanted: to be safe and wanted.

scorpia chose catra. catra was just too blinded by the fact shadow weaver didn't to see it until it was almost too late. fuck, man.

made princess scorpia hit so much harder. scorpia tried so hard to help catra. but she cannot fix her problems if catra wasn't willing to change. catra had to make that choice herself. scorpia deserves to be treated well too, and seeing her realize that was so cathartic. and no matter how much I love catra I am SO glad scorpia got out. god I love this show.

basically s3 was so good and set up the rest of the show so well thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Catra: I need you at the rehearsal dinner tonight at 1800 hours.

Scorpia: Uh-huh, okay, what time is that?

Catra: You don't know military time?

Scorpia: Oh, I must've been in missile training the day they taught that.

Catra: Just subtract 12.

Scorpia: Okay, so, 1,800 minus 12 is...

[Scorpia looks at Entrapta]

Entrapta: ...1,788.
