She-Ra, the twin sister to Prince Adam/He-Man, was another prominent animated figure in the 80s, starring in her own series, “She-Ra: The Princess of Power.” While She-Ra shared plenty of similarities to her brother, she was able to make her mark through her unique power and exciting character dynamics and being a female-centric companion show to “Masters of the Universe.” Also, just like her brother, She-Ra received a reboot on Netflix, but unlike “Masters of the Universe: Revelation,” She-Ra’s reboot was a cut-and-dry reboot rather than a continuation.
Netflix’s “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” was incredibly well-received by critics and fans upon its release. Many praised the series for its visually stunning action and layered character writing. However, one sect of toxic “fans” panned the series before its release for their dislike of She-Ra’s new design, among other things. After She-Ra’s new design was revealed, it received a lot of misogynistic hate on social media, with some commenters being upset that She-Ra’s new look wasn’t as “sexy” or appealing to them. Some gave even harsher comments calling She-Ra’s new design a “boyish lesbian” (via Vox). The hate hasn’t eclipsed the praise, though, and “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” remains one of Netflix’s top animated shows.
