*** Exactly. By keeping the Horde in the dark about its two highest priority targets being the same person, they are forced to squander resources and waste opportunities trying to hunt both down (especially fruitless and wasteful on the occasions they do capture one). It keeps them weaker than they really ought to be, a good goal in asymmetric warfare.

**** On the other hand, She-Ra's story is very different from He-Man's. Whereas He-Man is fighting to protect the monarchy he belongs to from a usurper, She-Ra is fighting in a rebellion trying to overthrow the current regime. Since all the lines changed are in dialogue (i.e. when She-Ra and He-Man are describing themselves) it kind of makes sense that she wouldn't mention power as often; Adora served as the Force Captain of an oppressive government obsessed with power and then abandoned it due to its corruption. So of course she wouldn't want to brag about being powerful when her enemies use their position of power to justify their crimes. Taken out of context it is indeed problematic that the female counterpart removes all usages of the word 'power' from her self-description, but in-universe it actually makes a lot of sense.

It's not like she would remember her old life or upbringing since she was so young. It would probably be too complex for a kid's show at the time but it still bugs me.

*** Possibly it has something to do with the Crystal Castle. She-Ra is the only individual who is privy to its location and secrets. Maybe the logic was that they could try to force Adora to reveal its location, if it became known that they were the same person, and the show just didn't last long enough to clarify that.

* Even when I was a 9-yr-old I thought it absolutely lame that the show had a sorceress named "Castaspella" and an archer named "Bo"! What kind of names are those!? Did the show share creators with ''TheCareBears''?
** For the longest time, I thought his name was "Beau", from the French word for "handsome". It's a popular name in the South. It's the name of one of the [[DukesOfHazzard Duke Boys]]. With Castaspella, they may have been thinking of Cassandra, the soothsayer of Greek myth.
** Peekaboo was the only one that bugged me. Then again Loo-Kee is a bit of an IncrediblyLamePun.
* One thing that always bothered me was how, to be honest, the writers either didn't really get or weren't allowed to show just how drastically different She-Ra and He-Man's situations were. He-Man is a prince, and a defender of his kingdom, basically keeping a conqueror out. He's basically a defender of the status quo. She-Ra is about as different from that as you can get: She's a leader of a resistance movement, a guerilla fighter attempting to undermine and drive out a powerful tyrant ''whose second in command she once was.'' In short, she's an agent of change, who should be highly proactive; in addition, by rights she ought to be seeking redemption, or at least a way to come to terms with the atrocities she no doubt committed or ordered committed. And of course, she should need to earn the rebels' trust. So much wasted potential...
** From all appearances Adora's very first mission was the one where she captured He-Man, Leech was even complaining about how she shouldn't be in charge. Plus, Adora even admits she's got no idea what goes on outside the Fright Zone as she's spent her life being trained within it. As for earning trust, if the rebels didn't easily forgive those brainwashed/tricked by Shadow Weaver they'd run out of rebels real quick as they all were manipulated at one point or another.
** Adora/She-Ra was very proactive. They're always planning and executing attacks, driving away the Horde, liberating towns, embarassing Hordak to his superiors and driving those under the control of the Horde to turn against them. Hordak's actually in pretty hot water near the end due to how much the rebels have accomplished.

* A quote from the main page:
-->Interestingly, the opening narration is almost identical to the one from He-Man, except that every place He-Man says "power," She-Ra says something different. E.g., "Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me" -> "Fabulous secrets were revealed to me"; ... "By the power of Grayskull!" -> "For the honor of Grayskull!"; ... "I have the poweeeeer!" -> "I am She-Raaaaa!"; ... "I became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe" -> omitted entirely. Insert feminist rant here.
** They just wanted it to sound a little different. She-Ra might be technically the Princess of Power but how often is she really reffered to as that? The show still mentions she's the most powerful woman in the universe, they just didn't want the openings to be identical.
* Shadow Weaver's fluctuating power. She spends 95% of the show as a serious threat and quite possibly the most dangerous villain on either Ethera or Eternia but every now and then they'll just have someone completely overpower her as if it was nothing. If the can defeat one of the top two members of the Horde so easily why haven't the rebels won?
** Like many many MANY characters in WesternAnimation, Shadow Weaver is [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe as strong or as weak as the plot needs]]. [[MST3KMantra It's just one of those things.]]
* Hordak had kidnapped Adora as a baby and raised her as his own, right? So why did they use magic to keep her evil since they could raise her to believe evil is right. It's not like she would remember her old life or upbringing since she was so young. It would probably be too complex for a kid's show at the time but it still bugs me.

Even after brainwashing and magic Hordak and Shadow Weaver still treat her turning against them as something they knew would happen if the magic failed. Plus, they knew the Sorceress and people of Etheria would be searching for her.
* Throughout the series the villains have captured both Adora and She-Ra several times. Even if they somehow managed not to notice they carried the exact same sword, a sword Shadow Weaver easily sensed great power within. Shadow Weaver even had a clear interest in analysing it in the pilot, and had assumed She-Ra had stole it. Did they just forget about the powerful magical weapon wielded by their greatest enemy that showed up right around the time everything hit the fan?
** This bugs me as well, for different reasons. Not that no one in the Horde put two and two together per se, but that Adora/She-Ra made as big a deal about keeping her secret as He-Man. In He-Man's case he has an excuse: if Skeletor found out he was Adam, Randor and Marlena would be even ''bigger'' targets than they are now. She-Ra's already wanted as the rebellion's biggest gun: why hide her identity as the ex-Force Captain?
*** Especially since Force Captain Adora is a wanted traitor, so she's a high priority target for the Horde in either identity.
** Also goes towards the guest appearances made by Adam/He-Man. Didn't anyone, good or evil, find it at all interesting that He-man always showed up when Adam was visiting and never otherwise?
* Even when I was a 9-yr-old I thought it absolutely lame that the show had a sorceress named "Castaspella" and an archer named "Bo"! What kind of names are those!? Did the show share creators with ''TheCareBears''?

* Something I don't get is when did Kowl and Madame Razz learn that Adora is She-Ra? More specifically, why those two?
** I've given that a lot of thought myself and figured it was because Madame Razz is Adora's mother figure and they're among the few who wouldn't blurt it out by accident. Bo and Glimmer mean well but when they get mad or upset they don't think before they speak.
