It doesn’t take much to piss geeks off, but changing up beloved heroes is a sure way to get them fired up. Such is the case with Netflix’s new She-Ra and the Princesses of Power reboot, which has gotten quite a drastic change from the ’80s animation fans we used to. Of course, there are those who love the new set of screenshots and those who downright hate it. Twitter lit up with comments from all sides.
Netflix’s describes the show as “a magic sword [that] transforms an orphan girl into warrior She-Ra, who unites a rebellion to fight against evil.”
The promo images showcase a variety of characters from Noelle Stevenson’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, including Adora/She-Ra, Glimmer, Bow and Catra. There’s also an image of Bright Moon, the capital of Etheria and the home base of the rebellion.

Dear men complaining about She-Ra,
The animation industry has heard your complaints and we’re taking them into consideration. We promise the Care Bears reboot will have tons of boobs. You’re welcome.— Kristen Gish (@KGishFish) July 17, 2018

What are your thoughts? Will you be watching Netflix’s reboot of She-Ra?
Will not be watching that’s not the she-ra I remember…this is why you don’t mess with perfection (the she-ra I grew up with was a woman with long legs and boobs! She was a celebration of woman but this “new“ She-ra is well I don’t know 🤷♀️ It looks like a boy. In chicks clothing I’d watch Heman if I wanted to see that
I’ll pass…
This is She-ra…this will always be She-ra
This is the only she-ra drawn by real artists
Alexandra Kayle what do you draw?
What the F…… LMAO
LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO
You guys are lame new she ra is fine. You guys are mad because you cant do what trump does and you cant grab her by the pussy. So lame go back into your closed minded lives and vote for trump again. Open your mind up to something new.
Angry adults nerds complaining about a cartoon for schoolgirls…
I think it’s ok. My only concern is, that they are rebooting shows left, right and center. Look at Thundercats and He-Man (early 2000s). They did well but failed to hit the mainstream. Now we get She-Ra and ThunderCats Roar, people go berserk on the changes… Nobody can be pleased. Although I would say the new She-Ra looks more like a boy than a girl. But that’s the style they are going for. I might watch it out of curiosity because I did watch the original version. Let’s hope it will inspire kids to be kickass and strong like the original version.
Usually 95% of all Remakes/Reboots etc are absolutely awful. They have to make them to appeal generation Z and everything has to look in certain way nowdays. If something is to be done in the original way it’s only due a fan-make.
We had the original. This is a She-Ra for a new generation. We sometimes forget that these shows are intrinsically made for children. Our nostalgia can become so toxic – we become so consumed with the euphoria we felt as kids that we try and muster the same feeling as adults. I challenge anyone to actually rewatch an old episode or season of She-Ra. It’s good but trust me, it’s not as good as you might think or remember.
Agree!!
I’ll pass rather watch the one I grew up with instead of this crap
Um no thanks! Why do they have to mess with our childhood memories? This is getting ridiculous.
Total kak
The kind of people who praise these type of reboots:
– Don’t have children
– Can’t afford Netflix
– Live in some kind of delusional Cloudcuckooland
– Fail to grasp that children don’t give a damn about political correctness.
The first genuine kid that goes, “Mom I thought She-Ra was meant to be a giiiirrlll! She has no boobs!” will be lynched by an angry Twitter mob before you can say “Myaah!”
Have children
Have Netflix
If cloudcuckooland is wanting to give it a chance, so be it.
My kids like to see things that don’t over-sexualise teenage kids, because it’s closer to their reality. (She-Ra is 16)
Many teens have not yet developed boobs, she has long hair, a feminine face and wears a dress, I doubt that they’ll be confused. Kids are smarter than that.
Leave the physical aspects, just looking at the shitty art style is pissing me off. It’s something I used to see in Newgrounds or what you’ll find in DeviantArt at any given point of time. Pretty sad we have garbage art direction like the one here and in the new Turtles cartoon screwing everything up.
Not quite black starfire fuckup level. . .
But close…
Seriously though….
Why not just call it something else?
Have it set in the same world?
Or similar and not piss on people
I never watched She-Ra as a kid, but as far as I can gather people are angry because she isn’t overly sexualised anymore. Is that it? I really like the character’s design in the new show. She kind of looks like princess Zelda which is always a plus IMO. I also like the sensible tights under her skirt. The last I want to worry about when fighting evil is my skirt flying up and showing the whole world what I had for breakfast
I actually really dig this new She-Ra.
She looks like a teenager, which she is. He-man and She-Ra are supposed to be 16. They looked close to 30 in the original.
Watched she ra as a kid…loved it. Watched it again recently and it was unwatchable…so glad that the remake will probably make it approachble and modern again.
It looks like crap. It is quit obvious femini-NAZI-SJW-tards that work at Netflix don’t care that they are ruining a great set of characters and world and polluting it with their far Left politics. There’s nothing wrong with being a girl. She-Ra is a girl, not a guy. The drawings look sloppy. They should creater of Castlevania do the drawings. Not impress.
