I hope they get a second season!!!!
I also hope the show is wildly popular (it seems to be pretty popular so far) and gets a different licensee for the dolls/toys, which are not really my cup of tea. Specifically I wish Mattel would take back the license and do the toys, but I don't see that happening anytime soon so I guess I won't hold my breath.
(...) what warms my heart the most is that She-Ra is here for a new generation to love and enjoy!
I'm looking forward to seeing what they have done...
A M E N brother. Omg I have developped such a hatred for people,especially grown adults, who nitpicked this show to death starting from the very first screencap. There is constructive criticism and being wary of new things... and then there is gatekeeping and the wish to see certain things stay dead instead of getting a fresh new look for a new gen of children.
Its not gate keeping if you dislike something. And fans don't have ultimate cosmic control of whether or not a reiteration will be made at all.

I don't disagree with you on the first part.I also feel like we had this convo a couple of times already. Dislike can come in many forms. Some people have been so gross about this show from the get-go and if you are not one of them then you don't need to feel addressed.The second part... Fan feedback nowadays can change an entire show. Look at FiM. Anti-fans can also become so vocal that creators are getting fired or online critique falls out overly negative because antis click a "zero" button 1000 times an hour.Not that this will happen to She-Ra because it is widely liked apparently. I am just fed up with grownups getting so heated and angry over a reboot of something from their childhood they start insulting people, especially young people, who are into it. I wonder how the Transformers fandom survived the "Trukk not Munky" times, how MLP fandom survived the "shadow years"... I am glad I was too young and uninvolved back then because people would have verbally ripped me to shreds on usenet.It must be scary to be a kid on the internet in 2018 when some SheRa Brony... (She-bro?) suddenly comes for your She-Ra cred and tells you the thing you love is trash and you are trash for liking it

I was watching a video game "review" of one of the Zelda games the other day and all this guy's complaints basically boiled down to . . . "It's not like the Zelda game I played when I was seven! Things CHANGED!"NO . . . really? Things changed in the 30 years since you were a child? Someone decided to try something different? Truly that is shocking. And to think no one consulted you, random angry geek. How dare. You sure showed them by making a whiny Youtube video.

Super focused and hateful- they get on these missions to bring people down- whether it is a cartoonist or writer for a kid's show, or an actress they don't like, or even someone in government. I have a co-worker who got involved in city counsel because she wanted to help change things, and of course there are hot-button issues that people get passionate above- in Seattle (as you know) it is the issue of what to do with homeless people and encampments... because of her participation, she has been targeted, doxed, and threatened personally- and her family has been threatened too! It used to be that kids were off limits- but no more. It isn't hard to see how this internet culture of anonymous complaining-turned-bullying has shaped our country (and probably others) in the worst way... I only hope that more people wake up enough to fight back in time...Sometimes I look around and think we must be on that alternate track of reality where Sam (Quantum Leap) didn't save the day...
Finally finished it.It's so good! I think I found my new favorite animated series of the moment (sorry Tangled Adventures, still love ya).
It's a lovingly done series. I can't wait to get more seasons!
Besides, I've seen some of those figures. They look cheap and poorly done. I've not seen Matel's offerings yet.

(She-bro?) suddenly comes for your She-Ra cred and tells you the thing you love is trash and you are trash for liking it If people like it thats fine. Its good that its doing well. I think maybe people in general are just burnt out on reboots, because there is like maybe, 1 or 2 good reboots (ThunderCats 2011, Duck Tales) for every 5 sucky ones. (Teen Titans Go, ThunderCats Roar, Mega Man Fully Charged TMNT: Rise of the Turtles, the Jem movie).Every reboot these days is almost always met with leery or negative reactions. And whose fault is that? The cartoonists for pulling down their pants and taking a massive dump on it, more often then not, and telling us that we will like it. I will say in fairness that neither the fans, nor the creators are blameless when it comes to nastiness and drama online. Takes two to argue.
