I legit didn’t know till this week, or I would’ve posted about it sooner. We’ll return to our regularly scheduled moral posting once She-Ra can only be found on the high seas o7 🏴‍☠️

    Never seen the series, new or old. Should I watch them in release order, or can a newbie go into the 2018 series blind?

      I’d actively advise against watching the original 80s cartoon unless you have some serious nostalgia for it. Those cartoons didn’t age very well and other than sharing a similar basis and cast they have very different stories

      I went into the new series blind and still haven’t watched any other related media. It’s far more gay and well written than a reboot of a show created to sell toys has any right to be. The fact that it got finished relatively intact is an accomplishment.

      The 2018 series is not really a continuation at all, more a whole new story with the same characters. The 80’s show can be fun (and I would recommend checking it out after watching the 2018 one) but imo the 2018 series is head and shoulders above the original.
