History YMMV / SheRaPrincessOfPower

* PeripheryDemographic: While made with girls in mind, the show was careful to keep in plenty of action and plot to appeal to the boys who watched ''He-Man''. In a way, it was shockingly prescient of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

* {{Anvilicious}}
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The epic opening theme music - "I am Sheee-raaaaa!"
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Shadow Weaver and Sea Hawk. The later becoming the fan preferred boyfriend for She-Ra
* GirlShowGhetto: Interestingly avoided; most of the male audience who watched He-Man also watched She-Ra. But on the other hand girls didn't suddenly start liking She-Ra just because the main character was a girl. The toy line, however, didn't fare as well (see below).
* FridgeLogic: In the episode ''Small Problems'', a Horde scientist tells Bow, who's disguised as a Horde Inspector, that he'd developed the enlarging formula before he developed the shrinking formula, but that Hordak didn't want to make the Rebels bigger. Why Hordak never thought of using the enlarging formula to make his own troops bigger, probably just illustrates how dumb Hordak actually is.
* MisaimedMarketing: Toys were advertised more like {{Franchise/Barbie}} than for an ass-kicking heroine.
* HoYay: Bow and Adam, every time they're together, but ''especially'' in the FiveEpisodePilot. Of course, all things considered, this should come as a surprise to no one...

--> '''Bow, very enthusiastically:''' May good fortune speed you on your mission!
--> '''Adam, suddenly looking very timid and uncomfortable:''' Well... thanks...
** There's also the way they ride a horse together...with their hips a little too close for comfort. Then again, Adam also rides a horse this way [[IncestSubtext with his sister]].
-->'''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick:''' Fuck it, we're off to the pride parade!
** Bow's costume is fairly camp, too.
*** [[http://www.grayskullmuseum.com/popimages/lic12.jpg Just a bit.]]

* NightmareFuel: Horde Prime.

* SoBadItsGood

** The Twiggets weren't so bad. Loo-Kee though could get on one's nerves.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The transformation sequence is grand, especially for the time and [[LimitedAnimation budget]] Filmation had to work with.
** The backgrounds were lavishly painted as well, even if the animation going on wasn't too complex.

* TransformingMecha: Hordak transform himself into a Rocket, Wheeled Top-Spin, Tank-Mecha and other forms...

* AmbiguouslyGay: Bow. Come on... someone had to say it. Just look at him!. Maybe he's CampStraight... or Camp Bi, considering the HoYay with Prince Adam, and his rainbow owl and fabulous lady friends.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyPile: Bow; his new action figure, which is in scale with the rest of the Masters of the Universe line and show accurate head (complete with mustache) has helped soothed a lot of complaints about him and his original figure.

** About the "ambiguously" part, right?

*** Wasn't he always described as Adora/She-Ra's "special friend" - presumably in a sexual sense. And his name could easily be an IncrediblyLamePun on the word "beau" (as well as being a direct reference to him being TheArcher).
***** Nope. While Bow flirted (with everyone), Adora's acknowledged sweetheart was the pirate Sea Hawk.

* BetterThanItSounds

** Not all girls, anyway. This troper wasn't terribly interested in He-Man, but loved She-Ra. Maybe because He-Man didn't have flying unicorns.
