Coming Attractions: She-Ra returns

More than 30 years after her debut, She-Ra returns in November on Netflix, but there's already some concerns, perhaps unfounded. More after the trailer:



Aimee Carrero (Elena of Avador, ex-Level Up) has been cast as Princess Adora/She-Ra, rebooted as a young orphan, which tells us that there may not be any chance of Adora seeing her twin brother, Prince Adam of Eternia (aka He-Man) in this series, unless Dreamworks & Netflix are in the midst of negotiations to add the rest of the Masters of The Universe line, of which She-Ra is part, to the mix in due course. There are people complaining already about the more PC-friendly costumes to given to Adora in both of her identities, but, hey, it's 2018. We can't have things be the same for certain shows or movies this time around, and the older fanboys who followed the original series haven't grasped this yet.

The designs will strike a chord, or at least that's the intention, with anime fans, but there are going to be those older get-a-lifes who just don't get it, and have little else to do but whine.

She-Ra & The Princesses of Power drops on Netflix on November 16, one week before Thanksgiving. Parents, expect your daughters to be asking for the inevitable action figures.
