Sonic: You're too slow!
Catra: *SCREAMING CAT NOISES*
https://www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/About/A-Statement-From-Reedpop/
Because of the Corona Virus, Emerald City Comic Con will be moved to summer. No dates have been released yet. The show originally had a panel for March 14.
Now here’s a dilemma. No cons mean no big panel announcement. But it could be argued that people eschewing big social events in favor of the TV and smaller gatherings for a few months works to the favor of streaming services.
If I were them I’d do a big online panel reveal, pump everyone up for the last season.
Found this show a month or two ago. Came here to see if there's any news for next season and I guess there isn't going to be because of the virus.
Well at least it's good to hear that it WILL have a next/final season and it won't be a "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!" situation. (why won't the wiki-word work?)
EDIT: since I bumped the thread might as well share thoughts I guess. I love all the Horde characters. Wish the secondary princesses had a bit more time to shine and be full characters, but the Horde and to a mildy lesser extent the main three are great.

The final season of She Ra is May 15.
Here's the Entertainment Weekly article with an interview with Noelle.
(The current quarantines won't affect the production; it's been completed for some time and we've just been waiting for Netflix to schedule it.)
Noelle and Molly have been doing streams across the weeks and sometimes they include She-Ra art and trivia. And kittens!
Things I learned: Horde Prime's flagship is called the Velvet Glove but the writers of this show couldn't find anywhere to mention that.
Catra is based on how cats can be utter monsters but one headboop from them will make you forgive them of everything.
Spinnerella and Netossa own a field full of adopted cats and dogs. "This is canon, put it on the wiki."
Catra would not be good with cats, and seeing one would give her an existential crisis. Scorpia, on the other hand, would be great with pets.

I have this mental image of Catra trying to 'talk' to the cat and failing
New theme music also a boxThe She-Ra Twitter account is posting a series of Q&A videos with Noelle.
Huh. Didn't know She-Ra was airing on UK television (CBBC, Saturday mornings)
What I’m getting from this is that the current iteration of Bow is actually an upgrade from the original.
Oh God! Natural light!I think most of the characters in the new show are upgrades over their 80s counterparts, most of the characters were either generic good guys or generic bad guys and She-Ra was probably the only halfway competent person on that show.
Catra, Scorpia and Hordak are far more developed in this show than they were in the old one, and She-Ra are allowed to make more mistakes. Heck, Catra not sounding like Eartha Kitt and Scopria not having a typical ''dumb guy'' voice are improvements. Also, I am sure the old show was just more nonchalantly about breaking the laws of physics than the new one is.
Its why all those alt-right people complaining that this new show dishonors the old one are full of it, because the old show had decent concepts from the Mattel mini-comics, but an execution that was of its time in animation (80s writing in kids cartoons was less than stellar). This new show is a why better execution of this concept.
I disagree with you about writing in 80s cartoons being less than steller. The original She-Ra boasted talent like J. Micheal Strazynski.
And that "out of context" video is actually demonstrating how awesome the show actually was.
New show's fine, but frankly, I'd watch the old show anyday.

Sure, but I think he was handcuffed by the writing conventions around TV animation at the time. Frankly, I think only a few cartoons from that era hold up today, like early Real Ghostbusters.
People have been saying 80s cartoons "don't hold up" for twenty years, and yet we keep going back to them whenever we want to make money. They obviously did something right.
They put the 'limited' in limited animation,we're incredibly fortunate modern She-Ra has a budget at least
It's called branding and selling merchandise,that's where they succeeded

Don't confuse nostalgia for quality.

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.We're going back to them because the kids of then are adults in showbiz now and studios are adverse to investing in original properties. In 40 years we'll probably get reboots of Adventure Time or Steven Universe.
People get attached to concepts, to ideas, and ideas are different from executions.
The concept of Frank Frazetta inspired barbarians and sorcerers battling with magic and technology is one that sticks in the brain. The executions...could be downright silly. But never forget that the kids did fall in love with the concepts, and to lose the concept (you know what I’m about to reference, so let’s just skip it) is to lose what made the show work in the first place and leave your merchandise in dollar stores because no one will buy it.
What concepts stick in the mind of today’s kids, and in 20 years they’re going to want to redo the episodes because the original executions had issues? That’s the kicker.

I don't see that happening actually,for Steven Universe at least,Adventure Time on the other hand..yeah they've already got new shorts for HBO max coming out even after the show 'ended' and I suspect for the forseeable future they're going to Milk Adventure time for all it's worth
New theme music also a boxIf social media was around in the 90s, people would complain and say Batman the Animated series ruined Batman and the old Batman cartoons were better, and making Mr. Freeze sympathetic is ''SJW propaganda''. This cartoon is a big improvement over the 80s cartoon.
