OH MY GOD, CATRA AND ADORA JUST... ugh, they will be the end of me. This end of the show is emotionally challenging me and I'm rooting SO MUCH for these characters! This time we first time watch FAILSAFE, which is I believe one of the BEST episodes of the show! Fantastic character drama involving Shadow Weaver with Adora and Catra, and the stakes get bigger but more personal than ever at the same time! THE FINALE IS VERY CLOSE! I give my full uncut reaction/commentary and then full discussion/thoughts!

Part of the reason why Adora starts losing her connection with She-Ra is because she is afraid of hurting those she loves. Horde Prime figured this out immediately, which is why he used Catra against Adora in episode 5, and why he is aggresively chipping everyone he can, to make them fight against Adora. Ironically, Netossa's weakness call-outs at the start of episode 10 were not entirely correct - she did figure out that Perfuma is afraid of hurting her friends, but didn't realize Adora feels the same even though Adora was also holding back against Spinerella in the previous episode. And yeah, Shadow Weaver is such a great character. So complex, with realistic motivations. Its still a matter of discussion in the fandom on whether she is trying to free the magic at the Heart of Etheria in order to save Etheria (a selfless act), or because she wants to gain access to that magic (a selfish act). Personally, I believe she's more interested in the latter. Catra's question to Adora at the end ('Why do you always have to sacrifice?') is such an important moment because this question has kinda been skipped over for the entirety of the show. Usually, in a show involving a 'chosen one' character, this question is addressed at the start - something tragic happens that motivates the 'chosen one' to become selfless - or its a prominent element throughout the story, with the character becoming more and more selfless as the story progresses. But in She-Ra, Adora is already entirely selfless right from the start, and it never really gets questioned, until now (though I do think if Queen Angella had survived the season 3 finale she might've asked Adora why she was so eager to sacrifice herself at the Portal). The fact that Adora herself is not able to give Catra a real answer to the question is such a sad moment, and really makes it clear how extensive Shadow Weaver's abusive influence is, over both Catra and Adora. Lastly, its sad that your She-Ra journey is about to come to an end, but at the same time watching your reactions these past months has been a lot of fun. I cannot wait for the finale! I am sure you feel the same, so stay strong haha.

I dont have much to say about this episode that you or other comments haven't, but as we go into the finale it's heartbreaking to watch it go. But more than anything my heart sings when i see just how much you love this series like i and many other viewers do. I wont say much about it but i can't wait for your reaction to the finale. you can really tell how much passion and love went into creating this show and it's so powerful and continues to rock my core to this day. When i think of a perfectly executed finale, not a season finale, but to END the show- this is one of the first examples that comes to mind, along with ATLA, Gravity Falls and Amphibia. They really sent it off with love and you can feel it. i really hope it stands to your expectations as well. But i guess ill ask you this- How do you feel going into the finale? excited? scared? sad? Catra is best girl. Catra supremacy.

yeah this is the only piece of media that i've ever seen subverting the "chosen one" trope and i really respect that. i've talked about this before back when we were at the big "adora is first one" revelation because that was the first time where we see that she's actually being used as a weapon for evil. and she has to make the consious decision to fight that and become who she wants to be. except she still has a huge hero complex. she still can't let herself be a bit selfish even to the point of allowing herself to live a normal life with a loved one. She hasnt become who she wants to be, she has become who she believes she has to be/ows it to the world to be. I gotta play devil's advocate a little bit though: It is true that if she doesn't play the hero right now, either nobody will have a normal life ever anymore or atleast someone will have to be the sacrifice which is not necessarily true for She-Ra. Regardless though: "learn to be selfish sometimes/put yourself before anything else" is SUCH an important lesson that hero stories rarely ever teach, and it's catra that has to teach her.

A fantastic reaction! I've been a bit late to the party but greatly enjoyed your YouTube cuts as well.
