* Assuming an origin for Adora analogous to the Filmation series, then her abduction becomes that much more horrifying from the Eternian perspective. In the Filmation series, Randor and Marlena at least knew who took her. In this universe, from their perspective she just up an fell into a hole in reality one day and literally dropped off the face of the universe. And given this series more realistic treatment of such matters, its unlikely the Sorceress used a spell to wipe their memory in this universe either.

* Beast Island preys on every character's deepest fear. Adora's is that she's not good enough, Bow's is that he's been a bad friend, Swift Wind's relates to his ability to hear a noise no one else can hear, and Entrapta's is that she's bad at friendship. All of these come into fuller focus when they're on the island, but Micah seems far less resigned to whatever his fear is, having adapted to the island. The truth is, he's in denial. His biggest fear is that the world has moved on without him. He assumes that Glimmer is still a little girl, and the thing that makes him succumb to the island's vines is the discovery that Angella has died.

* Double Trouble being non-binary makes perfect sense if you think about it. Constantly disguising themselves as men and women means constantly shifting physical gender.

** Micah was assumed dead and left on the Island, hoping for up to 15 years that people would eventually realise where he was and rescue him. He had to fight for his survival, resisting the signal for the whole time, and when Bow and Adora find him, he's so disoriented that he doesn't realise that time hasn't passed.

** This is supported by season 5. Entrapta helps the Rebellion by tracking Glimmer with tech, but because she was paying too much attention to the signal, she nearly endangered everyone, and they think she doesn't care about them. She runs away to the signal, revealing she really is worried about Glimmer, and they accept her. Entrapta spends the rest of the season as a key player, making personalised suits for the Best Friend Squad, and most significantly, helping TWO clones turn against Horde Prime. She cements her role as The Heart by giving Prime a "Fuck You" speech, saying "You don't understand what makes us strong, and that's why you'll never win!". Bow completes her server hacking and Hordak throws Prime off the deck, nearly making Entrapta responsible for his downfall without having to move from his floor.

* Beast Island is a land of nightmare horrors which is seen as giving its tenants "a fate worse than death"; as well as there being a large number of deadly monsters, there is also a signal which makes its tenants lose the Will to Live - they will give up and stop moving, letting the island absorb them in a slow, horrific death. It is unknown how long Hordak had been using the Island, however, it is implied by Micah that many people have gone in to the centre and never come out. How many soldiers has Hordak killed this way?
** Micah was assumed dead and left on the Island, hoping for up to 15 years that people would eventually realise where he was and rescue him. He had to fight for his survival, resisting the signal for the whole time, and when Bow and Adora find him, he's so disoriented that he doesn't realise that time hasn't passed.
** Entrapta at first appears to be immune to the signal, playing on the expectation that her aloofness and tech interest makes her resistant. However, she says "the signal is better on the inside", and by the end of the episode, she doesn't just succumb to it - she actively fights against Adora's attempts to save her, saying that she was confused by everything that happened and isn't suited for friendship, and everyone leaves her behind. It is very shocking when she turns around and her pink eyes are clouded, and you realise she heard the signal the entire time, and caved to it after the prospect of rescue appeared - she would rather stay and die than be abandoned again.
** It's extremely probable that Scorpia's parents were sent to die this way.


Added DiffLines:

** It's possible most of them have family that simply don't want to show up. However, while Entrapta's not a child, there IS a photo of her as a child with robotic stand-ins for parents that she appears to have built herself. It's extremely likely she raised herself from a young age with no human caretakers, the young cooks simply being hired help, and that explains her complete disconnect from other people at the start of the show, as well as her lack of self preservation - Entrapta is barely cogniscant that she's not a robot.

* Entrapta's mask in general is utilized brilliantly; Her original mask looks like a scary robot, and it makes her look intimidating and evil, but then you realise she uses it to compartmentalize her negative feelings, not liking to let others see her unhappy. She hasn't got the more successful defence mechanisms of other characters, so this is her only protection. This becomes increasingly obvious further along the show, and reaches a breaking point on Beast Island when she's no longer able to mask how she feels. From that point on, Entrapta covers her face far less, being more openly vulnerable.
**The mask, aside from adding to the "villain coding", is an obvious connection to autistic masking, made clearer once you realise Entrapta was raised by robots. Of course she doesn't "fit in" with the other Etherians when wearing a mask, but she looks just like one of her robots. Entrapta likely sees herself as a robot or wishes she was one, finding them easier to relate to.
** The second Beast Island mask has some symbolism. There is a crack in the right eye, making it broken and imperfect, also representing what she went through. It is still scary, but more organic and bug-like instead of robotic. The eyes are blue instead of the scary magenta from before. It no longer covers her ears. Entrapta pulls it down way less in season 5, only when welding instead of as a security blanket.

* It might seem odd that Hordak not only took in Adora as a baby, but still remembers that incident years later. But remember his ''own'' backstory as a discarded clone of Hordak Prime; to him, the sight of a seemingly-abandoned baby would naturally have a heavy impact.

* Bow lying to his Dads. Specifically, what would happen if he actually got hurt or even died. His dads knew nothing about him fighting in the Rebellion and apparently no one in the Rebellion knew anything about his family. From George and Lance's perspective Bow would just leave one day and would never return and no one would even contact them to inform them about his fate.

* By the end of Season 1, Entrapta has aided the Horde in causing massive devastation to Etheria, at the very least destroying the Whispering Woods and probably much more with her attempt to "hack the planet." Even if she is "rescued" by the Rebellion, it's almost certain that since Entrapta has no mental filler she's going to tell them ''everything'' she did and her reasons why. How is the Princess Alliance going to deal with one of their members causing the near destruction of Etheria's environment and basically being a war criminal? She may be better off staying with the Horde.

* We've seen how badly Hordak reacted to Catra's lies in "Reunion", what would happen if he found out that Entrapta didn't actually betray him, and that Catra didn't just lie about that to him, but also banished her to Beast Island? Catra better hope Scorpia can get her out of this mess if Hordak finds out. Hordak finds out from Double Trouble and ''immediately'' goes on unhinged rampage with his laser cannon.

* Mara's actions to disable the Heart of Etheria probably caused the First Ones to loose the war against Horde Prime. No wonder Lighthope sees her as a traitor.

* In Season 1, Light Hope shows Adora several elemental princesses...but [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E11BeastIsland later on]] Light Hope shows Glimmer that there are only five (remaining) elemental princesses. Why the difference? Remember that toward the end of season 1, Entrapta told Catra that breaking some runestones would power up others - and during season 4, the Horde has been on a rampage. Perhaps the Horde managed to destroy several runestones, maybe killing their princesses in the act. (This calls into question how Mermista's runestone was not destroyed when the Sea Gate was wrecked and captured, but she might have relocated it for safekeeping.)

Disambiguating Orwellian Editor wicks between Internal Retcon, Cosmic Retcon and Forum Speak


* Horde Prime has ruled the entire known galaxy with an iron fist for a thousand years, so it can seem strange that he suddenly grabs the VillainBall so She-Ra and her friends can beat him... until we remember that Horde Prime is a narcissistic OrwellianEditor who covers up any mistakes in his reign. Defective clone? Cast out. Failed to conquer a magic-filled planet? Pretend the planet never existed. Defective clone "failed" to conquer Etheria? His first instinct was to wipe out Etheria so that this "embarrassment" wouldn't go public. Since he hides mistakes instead of confronting them and it's served him well for centuries, it's no wonder he doesn't learn from them and lets this {{Pride}} and EvilCannotComprehendGood tendencies to get the best of him when dealing with Etheria, which allows him to be blindsided by magic and ThePowerOfLove.
** He doesn't keep old memories in his new body, at least not all of them, which is compounded by [[TheFogOfAges the sheer amount of memories that he's accumulated over the centuries]]. His refusal to acknowledge mistakes even has him refuse to remember his earlier failures.

** This has plenty of far reaching implications; now, there are swathes of clones disconnected from the HiveMind they've been stuck in for their entire lives. Many may be able to recover in the same vein as Wrong Hordak, where they make friends with the Etherians and develop a healthy support system, but it's also highly likely that many won't know where to even start. How difficult is it to start from scratch when you literally have nothing, not even your own thoughts?
** Even worse, they may go the Hordak route and become reclusive, antisocial, or even violent to the point of causing another war. Of course, this could be mitigated by She-Ra's interference, but it's still a posibility.
