Artist Stjepan “Nebezial” Sejic did, as always, a few excellent reinterpretations that dwell more on the “Valkyrie” side:
It’s curious how the kids’ role models shifted from the 80s til today: first they were adults (He-Man, GIJoe, Thundercats, etc…), and now they are kids or teens at least (all the japanese cartoons, CN shows). That’s why the character got rejuvenated imho.
– First, did the character need a reboot? Probably; I watched He-Man as a kid, but She-Ra was too “for girls” (it was, after all). I must admit her show had awesome villains, though, and the “Rebels vs Rulers” was a better premise than “Kingdom vs Attackers”.
– The “tomboy” looks stem from Legend of Korra, I think: all the Water Tribe women are drawn with no lips, and Korra is a certified badass. Also, I like the fact the women are drawn all different from each other: in the original show they all looked alike, like Barbie dolls (no surprise, since Filmation used the same female model for ALL their shows).
Now, let’s be honest:
– All those who attack the nostalgics and critics care zero about the show; they are just the usual bunch of feminists that squee at every “Womyn Empowerment” hint they perceive…and among them, the classic Internet warrior Lesbians that cannot wait to butch her up even more and declare *all* the characters in the series “Lesbian Icons“.
So progressive.
I don’t agree with either of the postures, but at least the “nostalgics” do care about the show for the show itself, instead of seeing it just as an excuse to further their agendas/postures/propaganda/movement/representation/whatever.I can’t find any jessie Graff She-ra pics online.
I got a crazy idea. Let’s have She-ra live action and cast Jessie Graff! She can do her own stunts.
I’m sure you meant Alyssa Loughran…right? 😉
