#spop s5 spoilers
Tell me how "Corridors" is simultaneously one of the funniest and most heartbreaking episodes of SPOP. Bow trying to manage Entrapta and Adora at the same time on a spaceship? Iconic. *Handyman* Adora tangled up in tape after she tackled a project very much out of her wheelhouse insisting she has "everything under control"? Incredible. Entrapta custom-making Bow a spacesuit will a midriff cutout? Unparalleled.
Meanwhile, Catra? Oh, she's being threatened with having her very soul torn from her through a creepy, painful religious ritual. She's having fundamental realizations about her life, childhood, and actions. Then she makes the most heartbreaking apology as she saves a friend while struggling against clones trying to drag her to her doom. Wild.

Another little essay on the mls5 finale
Tl;dr Gabriel Agreste Was Not Redeemed but it Makes Sense to feel weird and gross about it! And i think it was definitely Designed that way and did a very cool job of showing some complicated things
(Under a cut for ml s5 finale spoilers and also She-Ra spoilers because i’m comparing arcs, you dont have to have seen she-ra for this to make sense just, you will get spoilers)
Gabriel Agreste’s death reminded me IMMENSELY of shadow weaver’s death in she-ra. it left me with the same emotions. and i think they’re both Clearly trying to show the same thing
In both, there is this, almost *parody* of a heroic sacrifice??? There is a villain/abusive parent who is SHOWN repeatedly to be evil and to Cause Repeated Harm to their child/main character. But the main character can never quite renounce them because they’re always thrown the tiniest scraps at the very last minute. And this main character is trapped in a never ending cycle of needing to crawl back for help because despite it all they WANT to believe that there is some Pure Underlying Motive behind it all and that actually their parent DOES love them and IS good. Because who WOULDN’T want to believe that, especially in moments of terror and lonliness and the world falling to pieces???
And BOTH of these villains die by a “heroic sacrifice” that THEY think redeems them. They both die as a sacrifice ONLY when it’s a last resort and they’re going to die ANYWAYS if they DONT do anything. and they both make SURE that a child they’ve traumatized On Purpose is Watching Them Die Heroically. For both of them there’s this element of… their death is one last act of traumatizing the person they’re saving and ALSO one last act of making them feel Trapped and like they are In Debt and Have To Stay Loyal to their abusive parent?????
Like???? Gabriel LITERALLY does those tears that may or may not have been fake but were Definitely weaponized to play with marinette’s moral compass and catch her off guard. followed by the like… cackling evil villain act. Istg he was like Playing with marinette like a little ragdoll and Relishing in how Helpless she was as he made the wish. He KNEW he had her trapped, not just By The Miraculous but also Emotionally. He KNEW she had no one else to turn to. He KNEW he held the cards and he could say “make sure adrien remembers me as a hero” and that she’d HAVE to do it. Because he was about to die in front of her and she was going to be messed up by the whole thing and all these secrets and she wasn’t gonna have much choice other than to just Believe He Was Right And Good. As a coping mechanism.
And i think,,, there’s this aura of… he Genuinely thinks he has won. He thinks that he has succeeded in being a Good Father. He thinks that he has Manipulated and Snared his way into being a Hero and Right because he thinks that’s a thing you can do!!!! He doesn’t even consider changing his ways, not when natalie AND adrien AND ladybug all BEG him to listen. He doesnt consider treating anyone else as a person or admitting he could be wrong????? He just doubles down Harder and goes “hahaaaa i have manipulated and traumatized this teenager into continuing my lies and making up a narrative for me where im the hero… this is the same as being a genuienly good parent.”
And i GET the feelings of grossness bc that was a gross thing he did!!!! I agree!!!
But i DONT think he got to get away free or be redeemed????
If anything, it gave me the same gut feeling as shadow weaver’s death in she ra????? Like????? This is the Final Proof that he’s beyond saving because he cant even DIE without using it as one last opportunity to hurt someone he should be protecting????? And he doesnt even Realize that’s messed up he’s just like “heehee i win at tricking those stupid little teenagers into thinking im a hero” with no sense of self reflection.
After watching through that scene a few times i am CONFIDENT it was meant to come off that way and im not actually Sure how much they’ll address it??????
(And im also a teensy bit confused because??? I dont know who the target audience is at this point??? If it really is little kids as the target i am Sure they’ll address it blatantly but the show’s been getting darker and more Nuanced lately. But this is a different point)
but even if they DON’T!!!!! This is just!!! So similar to shadow weaver’s death in she-ra, another cartoon theoretically aimed at children and they DIDNT even address that one at all because it was just,,,,,, SO obvious that even if she DID save the main characters with her death she also used it as a way to twist the knife?????
And so far ive just been talking about Recreation Specifically???? But the REASON gane was dying was bc he literally CATACLYSMED HIMSELF with chat’s hand as a way to trauamtize ladynoir because he thought it would catch them off guard and screw with them!!!!!!!!!!
This is not the narrative saying “oh he had good intentions and was right all along uwu” to me, this was very clearly the narrative saying “sometimes people are so far convinced that theyre the only one that matters that they cant even DIE without using it as a way to hurt and manipulate everyone they should be supporting and wow can that screw people up when they’re left to pick up those pieces and leave them with a complicated mess of emotions.”
and also its saying that it is in fact okay to hate your dead parents if they sucked . And its okay to be have complicated feelings about it, u dont have to be able to make an opinion immediately or seperate yourself from the situation. Sometimes it hurts and you mourn what you shouldve had Anyway.
And i think just like she ra, this is a very Mature and Complicated take and its Okay to have mixed feelings about it, but i just wanted to reassure people that the ending absolutely did not say that gabe was a good person.
It MIGHT have said that the wish actually helped make the world better!!! We don’t know that part yet!!!!
But we DO know that it said,,,,, even IF gabe made One Good Decision, he did it at the cost of everyone he should have been supporting and died with everyone he loved hating him for Good Reason and he used his last seconds of life to traumatize and manipulate a scared little kid into telling everyone he was A Hero . And he was not above beating up and hurting said little kid (ladybug) for funsies. I think even IF his wish IS proven to be A Good Thing (big if) there will STILL be a very valid question of “was it worth it.” There will still be tons of trauma on adrien and marinette’s part that Isnt going away. And that is on him and him alone

I really have been needing to get closure to understand this aspect of She-Ra. Can people please answer this question so I can understand better where people stand?
I’m also going to make one about the show’s use of Micah, so stay tuned for this.

*Checks my nonexistent watch*
Well, would you look at that? It's time for me to ramble about spop for a bit.
Disclaimer, I guess? So, this is all fairly off the cuff. Also feel like mentioning that I haven't gone back to watch spop since the final season aired. But, you know...whatever.
Among my laundry list of nitpicks with spop's last season, one of them that stuck out to me recently was the resolution to Shadowweaver's story. Like killing her off (even as a noble sacrifice for her adoptive daughters) felt a bit underwhelming. For a character that influenced so much of the story, her ending seemed too abrupt to me, you know what I mean? Also, like, given the show's anti war message (and the decision to keep Hordak alive), I would have liked to see Shadowweaver get some further development during the final conflict.
Personally, I think it would have been cool (and maybe narratively satisfying) for her to have been involved in the fight against Chipped! Micah. Idk, just something about her going up against her former student is really interesting to me. Like, I think it could have brought her arc full circle in a way, by having her go up against him and be overmatched. Maybe she could have had a moment in that fight where it looks like she's going to die and she has a monologue about her story up to that point wherein she concludes that death is the only option for her, only for Glimmer to come to her aid and help fight off her father. Like, for Shadowweaver to see Glimmer not give up on her could've maybe helped her realize that her worth isn't measured by how powerful she is, but by the fact shes actively choosing to do good outside of personal gain or something? And That her redemption so to speak doesn't have to just be about penance. Idk, I think that would have been neat for her character.
The reason I'd keep Glimmer in that fight is because her arc kinda parallels Shadowweaver's arc (at least in S4), so I think it'd be interesting if they both worked together to save Micah.
