"The most hilarious thing about She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is this: it’s a sophisticated and critically-acclaimed 2010s cartoon, with characters who have complex, multi-dimensional relationships and well-developed personalities with interesting character arcs… and they’re all saddled with these ridiculously on-the-nose 1980s toy commercial cartoon names. So there’s the snow princess Frosta and the mermaid princess Mermista; the archer is named Bow and the sorceress is named Castaspella. The leader of the Horde is Hordak, and Catra is a cat. It’s like a version of Avatar where everything’s the same except Katara, Sokka, and Zuko are named Waterella, Boomer, and Hotman."

"So she's the elderly woman who narrates the whole series, right? Via her memoirs. We see glimpses of her with her husband in their old age in the show. But I've been thinking about how strange it is that she went to (if I remember correctly) Americanote , but still narrates the other nurse's day to day lives and stories...from another countrynote . I'm sure they write to each other all the time but are we to believe all these episodes narrated by elderly JL are from really really detailed letters from her friend in Poplar?"
