We see the fallout of a particularly gut-wrenching misunderstanding from the first season. ![]() The rest of the season continues to hone in on specific and sometimes unexpected relationships: friendly villain Scorpia and cocky seafarer Seahawk end up bonding over the inferiority they feel in their friendships Princess Glimmer is a mite annoyed that young Frosta continues to follow her around, but really the young princess just wants to impress her hero the Best Friend Squad meets Bow’s dads - and have to come clean about the truth of their heroic endeavors. Season 2 starts off the bat with a big princess team up and other episodes continue the trend of ensemble episodes, but also find the space to center on individuals. Adora, Glimmer, and Bow’s dynamic got the most screen time, but the other characters got a little sidelined. Instead, it either is a natural part of what the characters are doing (an episode where Glimmer and Adora visit Bow at home answers some big world questions while meeting his dads), or help to solidify the character dynamics (Adora and Swift Wind are tasked with rebuilding an old First Ones building, but end up confiding in one another along the way).Ī strength of the first season lay in the limited cast of villains, which allowed the show to home in on their dynamics by contrast, having half-a-dozen princesses who all needed to be separately recruited, meant that there were only a few episodes where they all interacted. Some episodes expand upon the lore more so than the others, but it never feels like a droning worldbuilding. The second season uses the established world as a big playground. We know that a race of people known as the First Ones lived on the planet before and that their tech scatters the planet, technology and magic that grants Adora her She-Ra powers. We already know about the Horde who want to take over the planet of Etheria and the Princess Alliance who want to protect it. With all the exposition out of the way, the second season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power slows down and relishes in what it does best: hone in on the characters and their relationships. The first season saw Horde soldier Adora pick up a magical sword and transforms into the warrior princess She-Ra - as well as the villainous Catra, Adora’s best friend who she left behind. ![]() DreamWorksĬreated by Noelle Stevenson, the DreamWorks animated series is a fresh reboot of the classic 1980s filmation that trades the He-Man ties and oh-so campy designs for a She-Ra who stands on her own and sleek character models. These little moments help She-Ra and the Princesses of Power manages to surpass its first season. The catch? One’s a villain and one’s a hero, yet they’re each there to listen to one another’s very human problems, problems separated from the conflict they’ve been caught up in. In the midst of a bitter battle in a frozen tundra landscape, with the Evil Horde aiming to exploit resources protected by the virtuous Princess Alliance, two characters in Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power season 2 sit down and have a conversation about not feeling good enough in their separate relationships. ![]()
