Battle of the Captains

Round 3 Part 8 Poll 1

Propaganda

what could I possibly say that his name doesn't already convey? He's The Dread Pirate Roberts. He does not take prisoners.

Sea Hawk sings sea shanties and burns ships down, he's dating a sea princess, we love him

She-Ra Characters’ favorite non-alcoholic beverages.

Adora: Protein shakes. Gotta keep those gains!

Catra: Milk. Because she’s basically a cat.

Glimmer: Fanta (strawberry in particular). It’s sparkly and fruity just like her!

Bow: Pepsi. His taste in soda is uncomplicated but he has too much of a sweet tooth for Coke.

Perfuma: Gatorade. It’s got what plants crave.

Mermista: Water. She’s the princess of it anyway.

Sea Hawk: Sarsaparilla. He strikes me as someone who would drink sarsaparilla.

Scorpia: Ginger ale. She likes the “bite” it has.

Double Trouble: Cranberry juice. Looks sophisticated in a stemmed glass

Entrapta: Mini cans of Coke

Hordak: Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Reminds him of the nutrient pouches.

Madame Razz: Sangria Senorial (non-alcoholic). It’s like her berries!

Frosta: Blue Raspberry Icee. Icy and in her favorite color!

Shadow Weaver: Children’s tears. And Catra’s.

Thoughts? Differing headcanons? Complaints?

Double Trouble: If you want to pretend to be Sea Hawk, all you have to do is sing sea shanties and set boats on fire while shouting, "Adventure!" Mermista: Sea Hawk's not hard to nail. DT: Yeah. He’s not hard to imitate, either. ;) Mermista: ಠ_ಠ

Collateral Damage (White Out)

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a series about trauma and recovery. I think it is important to understand the nuance of its depiction and exploration of the concept.

Specifically, because one of the main criticisms that I have seen of the series is that it ignores the wider effects of the character's pasts and actions. That it excuses the character's actions and the damage that they cause. I disagree with this premise.

I can see where the idea is coming from, but I don't think it is entirely correct. I don't think the series shies away from the effects that its characters behaviours have, and to that end, I present White Out as an example of what I mean.

Let me explain.

SPOILERS AHEAD: (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

This episode explores trauma's effects on a personal level and on an environmental scale. Both Catra and the first ones' tech have gone through the ringer, and are taking that out on those around them.

I think that the decision to focus this episode on Scorpia is important, because it allows that personal side of the issue to show. This may be a hot take, but Catra isn't a particularly nice person.

"We weren't sent here to chase rumors. Hordak wants tech. If your bots can't dig it out, then maybe I'll send you down there"

This line reveals the reason Catra is acting this way, but it also shows her threatening someone close to her. This isn't how friends should behave.

And, throughout this entire episode, Catra is blunt and to the point. She is quick to anger, and impulsive. Take this exchange for example:

"Scorpia, good, you're here." "Yes, I am." "Entrapta brought all this junk from her lab. Help me find a space heater or something, since apparently, we live here now."

It's an instruction, not a request, and on a one off, this might be just rashness. But Catra phrases everything as is she is talking to subordinates, which neither of her companions are. Scorpia is of equal rank to her, technically, and Entrapta might be slightly higher.

The audience can see why Catra is so scared, it was there when Hordack removed her ability to breathe as a stunt. But I would like you to imagine, briefly, if you didn't know that, if someone you knew told you they would throw you in a pit unless you did your job better. The only reason Catra is getting away with this behaviour is because Entrapta is entirely unintimidated by her.

The audience perspective is actually spoken aloud by Scorpia.

"She's misunderstood! You of all people should know that! I mean, you grew up together..."

Scorpia is making excuses for Catra here, and I would argue that she is both right and wrong. Catra is misunderstood, but she's also doing real damage. She may be a sad kitten, but she is also the villain.

I feel the need to make something clear here. A character being a bad person does not make them a bad character at all, or even reflect badly on the story as a whole. The fact that Catra is the villain of this story is important, because it explicitly frames her actions as undesirable. This is unquestionably a strength of the writing, not a flaw.

"...I can't compete with that. No matter what I do, I can't seem to break down her walls. But you two, even when you're trying to kill each other, you can tell there's a real bond there. I just, I wish she would see me as being worth her time, too."

Scorpia's line continues, and I would like to quickly dwell on her motivation here. Scorpia is the friend who will always have Catra's back, the gal pal, the... roommate. Or at least she would be, if Catra gave her the time of day.

Catra is routinely presented with ways to get out of her situation, and Scorpia is one way of that, offering her emotional stability. Sure, she may not be interested in her romantically, but the offer of friendship is there at the very least, and Catra refuses to take it up. Well, until the end of the episode, but we will get there in a moment.

Enter Sea Hawk, who helps to ease the problem in the most Sea Hawk way possible. He listens, and he tells stories. The man is a bard, and while I don't find his struggle with "being cool" nearly as compelling as the rest of the episode, I think the way he uses that to empathise is fantastic.

Because, Sea Hawk is kind of a role model for Scorpia here. They work out together that they need to care for themselves as well as others, but Sea Hawk also demonstrates actions that Scorpia applies later on in the series, that being his ability to understand. Scorpia at this point has just been listening, but Sea Hawk drives home how important it is to actually understand, but also the importance of having limits.

As such, when Scorpia breaks the crystal, she disobeys Catra for her own good, and I think that her actions are why Catra is finally willing to open up herself, because Catra doesn't want power, she wants safety. Adora gave her that, not just through protecting her physically, but also by giving her some boundaries to comfortably sit inside, so that Catra had structure. Scorpia gives her that.

"Hey, thanks for getting us out of there."

This is one of the only two times in the entire episode that the word "thank you" or anything approximating it is spoken. The other time being immediately after, with Scorpia thanking Catra for the blanket. Respect goes both ways, Catra needs to learn that.

But, and I want to be absolutely clear about my premise here, the moral of the episode is that you need to have limits to protect yourself. Because Catra may be misunderstood, but that will cause Scorpia some genuine problems if she doesn't have the ability to say that enough is enough.

This isn't just on Scorpia. The episode and the series explicitly frame Catra's actions as something that she needs to change herself, and that, while support groups are important for that, that has to come from within as well.

She-Ra doesn't romanticise the abuse Catra receives or gives off, it says "these are bad, and are getting in the way of her relationships".

On the other side of the story, I don't think that the murder virus is a virus. I think it's very much intentional.

Hear me out, the first ones were at war, and the series goes on to discuss that they were maybe not the best of people. The cost of war is an important theme in the series as a whole, and I don't believe it is out of the question to suggest that the first ones might have set up a kill switch incase their enemy ever made it to Etheria.

The important thing to note is that, whatever happened to the crystal, intentional or not, it is having massively damaging effects on Etheria as a whole.

Final Thoughts

I have seen a lot of discourse around the She-Ra fandom that seems to believe that Sea Hawk is annoying, and I will defend my boy to the end of my days. I am blind to all criticisms against this man, and will not hear any argument.

In seriousness, I think that when you see a take about a series that you disagree with, it is important to explain why you came to your conclusions. The purpose of analysis isn't to be all high and mighty, its to say "I like/dislike _, because..."

Discussion online has a habit of devolving into who can shout the loudest, and I think that is a shame, because it means that, specifically when talking about stories, a lot of nuance goes unspoken.

Next week, I am looking at Light Spinner, an episode that is one of my favourites, so stick around if that interests you.

She-Ra characters’ favorite movies!!! This one will probably be pretty controversial.

Adora: Alien. But she gets scared and has to cuddle with Catra (that’s her favorite part).

Catra: Predator. She can’t tell who she’s rooting for half the time though.

Glimmer: Captain Harlock: Space Pirate. She loves the aesthetic.

Bow: Star Wars. He’s very opinionated on the watch order.

Perfuma: Up in Smoke (never gonna let that joke go)

Mermista: Knives Out (but she’s waiting for the MerMysteries movie franchise)

Sea Hawk: The Princess Bride. He fancies himself Westley.

Scorpia: She’s a MCU fan and can’t pick her favorite of them.

Double Trouble: They hate watch Master of Disguise regularly.

Entrapta: Pacific Rim. Giant mechs! Fighting! Tech!

Hordak: Sleepless in Seattle. He loves romcoms!

Madame Razz: Primer. To her the plot is very straightforward, predictable, and linear

Shadow Weaver: Matilda. She has no idea why such wonderful and caring parents were so maligned!

Frosta: Godzilla movies. She has plans for an ice kaiju once she gets better at controlling her powers.

Micah: Star Trek: Wrath of Khan. He and Bow get into arguments about the better franchise and Glimmer has to tear them apart.

Kyle: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - He fancies himself Scott. He isn’t.

Kadroh: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He loves how wrong it is about the universe!

Melog: The Aristocats. ‘Nuff said.

Netossa and Spinnerella: Lord of the Rings. They watch the Extended Editions together at least once a year.
