She-Ra s3 ep6 The Portal Full, Early, Uncut

I was so sure I wouldn't cry... so convinced... I was so wrong. 

She-Ra s3 ep6 The Portal Full, Early, Uncut

Mosco: if it’s anything between those two I’m not going to lie I don’t really care about it. Well that’s aged poorly

Christopher Bouzas

Yeah, its very interesting and a good indication that this reality isn't actually perfect, or, that it is impossible for such a reality to exist due to conflicting wishes. I suspect Bow's desire to be an adventurer was overpowered by the desire of both of his parents that he become a historian.

So fucking true!! Catra is a toxic person idc.. Maybe after she’ll eat the magical time traveling pie she’ll start redeeming herself

song sl

Yooo sameee!! Catra is just a fucking toxic person idc what she’s been through…

song sl

Can't wait for the episode where they talk about how much they love pie, it sparks so much joy later on! :)

There's something ironic in how children cartoons refuse to let characters die because they think the concept of death is too dark for children and yet the alternatives they come up with are always far more horrifying.

Trolldrool

Also, as much as people joke about Catra and Adora being girlfriends, I think it’s important to note that they’ve never actually been any closer than best friends.

Jenny D

Almost like they portaled there or something.

Jenny D

I mean, I don’t see anyone shipping Adora and Catra at this point in the series, because at this point yes, their relationship is too toxic.

Jenny D

Also, while I know that was really Catra because after Adora destroys the portal we see Catra touch the formerly corrupted side of her face, in some ways I think corrupted Catra was a projection of Adora’s internal guilt. In the portal reality it seemed like so many of the characters got their “perfect” world, but Adora’s hero complex doesn’t allow her to consider her own perfect world. How can she be worthy of a perfect life when there are still so many problems to fix? After all, she’s responsible for everything. So I think instead of her perfect world Adora gets a reality where all of her biggest regrets and things she feels guilty over (whether it’s justified or not) are thrown in her face.

*season 4 has left the chat*

Jenny D

In some ways I would say this is Catra’s rock bottom.

Jenny D

This is probably the best episode in the series besides season 5 episode 5. Queen Angela's sacrifice hits me in the feel;s every time I see it.

Skavvie

(lists all the things that won't make her cry) Meanwhile, thirty seconds in...

David Johnson

Everyone shipped Catradora and said it’ll probably be endgame but I was like ‘Nah, no way in hell.’ Since the very beginning I shipped Glimmer and Adora, because those two were so adorable and cut together and imo a way better ship then Catradora bc that one is just toxic as fuck.

Kyasemi

Nobody saw that pie coming, for sure

Frank Wales

Though season four is quite weird, especially the side plot with Mara’s secret lover killing her with a pie to the face.

Childofthestars111

Damn, I just did this last week and I already forgot which number we were on. *checks notes* 5. *double checks previous comment* Yep! This episode was number 5.

Jenny D

I can just picture Glimmer chasing Catra around with a hairbrush while Catra accuses her of torture.

Jenny D

Catra’s never seen Adora/She-ra look at her like that before. So serious, angry, and determined all at once. Cuz up until Catra opened the portal, some part of Adora always believed she could get through to Catra, which is why she would continue to plead with her to do the right thing. After the portal, Adora finally gave up hope for Catra, which is what Catra thought she wanted all this time.

Jenny D

Me, 18 minutes in: …Yeah. At least they got Angella’s self-sacrifice over with quickly…

Jenny D

THIS OML

Childofthestars111

Hardly anyone agrees with me when I say I don’t care that much about Catra in this season. Love the season 2-4 Catra slander cause Adora deserves better :(

Childofthestars111

You say that Glimmer has no family left, but that's not true. She still has her gay aunts. I mean, we don't know Auntie Castaspella is gay, and her not-so-secret romance with Shadow Weaver is weird in several ways, but at least you have a self-contained wedding episode to look forward to in season four, even if it does break the pacing of the arc and is tonally at odds with the episodes before and after.

Ryan Porter

Hamish should get hazard pay for the rest of the series.

Ryan Porter

As soon as you saw Micah... "It was at this moment that she knew she fucked up..." I'll admit, up until the end of season 3, I was enjoying the show, but only casually hanging on. Afterwards, I was hooked! Full steam ahead to the finalé! For me, it was Glimmer going "Oh boy! I'm gonna be in trouble!" that broke me. Adora silently powering down and just holding her... One of my favorite bits of that episode was the final staredown between Catra and She-Ra. Catra trying to maintain the "I'll get you next time!" power dynamic, and She-Ra giving her a look that says "Try anything again and I will fucking end you!" Catra, visibly shaken, slinking off into the shadows.

Joey Quixote

It's hard to say what the nature of Corrupted Catra really was, because she knows things that Catra didn't know, like that Adora came through a portal, and says things to hurt her related to fears Adora only got after she was seperated from Catra for months, so is she real? An illuson? Is she a manifestation of the portal? Is she the real Catra who an hour ago was just almost gruesomely murdered to death by her parental figure who sided with Adora, was so desperate to win she ignored everyone around her Adora is right and she's wrong, and chose to die twice rather than let her win, who then got mixed up with wierd magic and collapsing time, and managed to pull herself out, driven by despair and propping herself up with spite and pretending to be glib? Who can say.

Verdigree

Hamish should get hazard pay for episodes like this.

SweetCandle

Aww, Entrapta had a robot that looked like Hordak and one like Scorpia I think

Verdigree

Maybe glimmer will go after catra in vengeance 🤔now wouldn't that be something... Big brother prime has made his debut... this is where the fun begins Can't wait for moscos reaction to the cute pink fairy child that can do no wrong

Luke Teasdale

The silence after Angella sacrifices herself haunting

Catradora fan

What I find interesting is that in the "perfect" world, Bow puts aside his own desires and follows his dads' intentions for him. If that doesn't mean something...

SweetCandle

Ohhh yeah. I was 100% done with Catra and Adora as a ship by this point. I love me a sapphic love story, but It's just so toxic. Don't get me wrong, I love Catra as a character, but she's so messed up and traumatized that she's just constantly projecting how she was treated onto others. Which just makes her full on mentally and physically abusive. But a lot of the fanbase doesn't like that take ^^;

Honey

Take note of which arm Catra's portal corruption stuff is on👀

Phoenix Mackenzie

This "Hey Adora" is one of my favorites, I love Catra so much, something that some people may disagree after this episode lol

Penellope

NGL, I always end up thinking of Jerry Springer signing off his show each time with "Take care of yourselves and each other"

Dafydd Mac an Leigh

That was a really intense reaction, I loved it. This episode is such an emotional rollercoaster. You barely have time to recover from one heartwrenching moment before they drop the next one on you. This was also the first time She-Ra made me cry (out of 3 times in total, tho I got close a couple of other times). Don't worry, the other times I cried were totally tears of hapiness ;) Interestingly, there is a fairly important clue in this episode that you missed. I wonder if you'll notice it while editing it, but its fine if you don't. On to the next season!

Omegastar

I love how casually the drop us into the scenario of "the Horde has blinked out of existence, so now there never was a war which means Micah was never lost", but it also carries a tinge of sadness: Bow, never having a rebellion to join, never had an opportunity to find his true self and is instead the historian his fathers expect him to be — the role he was effectively assigned at birth. I have trouble believing the allegory there is unintentional...

Dafydd Mac an Leigh

Indeed? Have you tried an anime called Puella Magi Madoka Magica?

Dafydd Mac an Leigh

It's kind of a weird artistic decision to have most of season 4 one tea party after another, with most of the drama being who is wearing what outfit, but it does provide a nice break before season 5.

William Timmins

WE TOLD YOU

William Timmins

we're not going to say "we told you so" but... we told you so.

zLaurence2000

Isn't this kids show fun to watch?

Gregor Wolff

I love this reaction.Anyway... thankfully that's over and you won't need your tissues ever again. Interesting how they made you cry over a guy who's been dead for years. Great show.

Stephen Ray

How did they get to Dryl? Last episode they did some "let's go to X" only to find themselves there a moment later and Adora having no clue how they got there.

Stephen Ray

To be fair, I've watched this episode a bunch of times and never noticed that.

Stephen Ray

Eventually, this show will also give you joyful tears of happiness.

Carabas

At least you not react to this and épisode 10 of Infinity train the same Day !

Glorinfeld

Bo and Glimmer: "Catra's first makeover! Catra's first makeover!"

Ryan Porter

Oh, no, Catra's dead. Good thing she has nine lives. Wait... (counts on fingers). Oh dear, oh dear me... The queen is dead. Long live the queen. You've seen Nimona. You know what Nate is capable of doing to you, emotionally. This is not the last time you will cry. The Catradora ship is on rough seas, but give it time, she'll come around. Cats always land on their feet.

Ryan Porter

More like "GODDAMMIT, both of you!!"

Sero

If this season was the Catra NO! Season next season is the goddamnit Glimmer! season

Christopher Bouzas

I’m sad you missed the robot versions of Scorpia and Hordak when we first see Entrapta in this episode

Christopher Bouzas

How none of the voice actors received any awards for their acting in this show is beyond me. Their performances in this episode give me chills every single time. Particularly "You made your choice. Now LIVE WITH IT !" and "Take care of each other." Are particularly heartbreaking. I was Sobbing.

Dan_Ganing_Fan

Now I'm imagining Glimmer putting make-up on Catra, who is grumpy but allows it.

Vilmu

I'm realizing this vague kind of show is my favorite. The Owl House, for example. Start up with light fun times, and then BODY BLOW BODY BLOW BODY BLOW

William Timmins

No one expects to cry in this show when they first watch because it’s just a silly kids show, but we’re past that and now we’re in the heart wrenching half of the show

Christopher Bouzas

Can’t wait for next episode when Catra and Glimmer get a makeover to get over their trauma, also can’t wait for you to meet the best sassy gay gecko in the universe
