Netflix And DreamWorks Underestimate The Power Of She-Ra

thegamer.com:

If you frequent fandom circles on social media you probably noticed the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power community having a long-awaited meltdown yesterday evening. Don’t worry we’re all okay, but it will take us a while to recover from a recent interview with ND Stevenson, AJ Michalka and Aimee Carrero.

To the untrained eye it seems like a normal interview looking back on the show’s final season almost two years since its release, but to me, it’s a focused strike designed to obliterate sapphics into oblivion from the showrunner and voice talents behind Catra and Adora.

Entertainment Weekly decided to delve into the relationship between our two lead heroines specifically, exploring how the animated show sought to bring a lesbian romance to our screens right from the very beginning. Stevenson describes it as a closely guarded secret that had seeds being planted slowly but surely throughout each season, resulting in a declaration of love that felt natural, beautiful, and so, so queer. He and the crew nailed it.

Michalka and Carrero echo this sentiment, showering love upon a fandom that has remained passionate and engaged like few others have since the show’s final season arrived on Netflix. They aren’t wrong, when this interview dropped me and a handful of friends were immediately fawning over any potential Catradora nuggets we could unearth - and we weren’t disappointed. Yes, we are gay disasters with little parallel, but there’s something to be said about a show like She-Ra and how it is able to maintain such staying power.

It has been a constant in my life each and every day since its conclusion because the community is so eternally engaged. New
