Only thing I would add is that when Scorpia turns herself in to the Princess Alliance and she sees Shadow Weaver and she immediately understands Catra, she doesn't excuse Catra's actions, but she recognizes the abandonment issues she has and feels for her.
A lot of people also missed that when Catra reports the loss of the recordings to Hordak, she lies covering up for Scorpia to protect her. Catra is a shitty friend, but she did care about Scorpia at least somewhat.
@@Arella17 She also protected Scorpia by pushing her away when Catra was imprisoned at the horde. Catra didn't want to risk Scorpia's safety when she offered to break her out. In season 1, Catra also protects Adora by trying to keep her identity as She-Ra a secret as long as possible and then helps her escape the Fright Zone later one. Catra was scared of getting close to people as she had been hurt so much. Her heart was broken but not completely gone.
@@GemR38 She also helped Adora escape the Fright zone because she knew that if Adora was brain washed and brought back, that she would be demoted and Adora would be made Force Captain. She didn't want all her hard work to go up in a puff of smoke like that.
@@Arella17 Agreed. Even if Catra acts like a total bitch, she isn't a total scumbag. And the only times when she really goes overboard, it's because of her emotional instability. If she didn't learn that Shadow Weaver is "hanging out" with Adora after being tricked and abandoned again, she wouldn't have opened the portal. It's no excuse for her actions but it's important to note that Catra only does really fucked up stuff when her traumas are triggered
Scorpia is best girl, shes such a pure hearted cinnamon roll its actually hurts. I'm so glad she ended up with the Hippie Princess, they are such a good match and she deserves to be happy and loved 😭🤧
I love boisterous loving characters. I think they are the perfect foil for people that had to form a shell to protect them selves because they keep trying to break in and share love.
I found myself relating a lot with Scorpia trying to navigate her friendship with Catra. You want to be a good friend for someone, but sometimes you gotta know when they aren't trying as hard as you.
Same! I went through a toxic friendship myself and it was almost painful to watch bc I had done the exact same things Scorpia was doing in order to keep her only friend
about scorpia being the only one besides adora to notice something off in the portal episodes, i think it's implied that catra is aware of it too, and shes just pretending there's nothing wrong so adora will stay with her
I agree, I think Kyle is a close second though, then Entrapta ((formerly)) followed by Adora ((formerly)) then Rogelio, Lonnie, the Creepy baby recorder, Hordak, Catra, and Shadowweaver last ofcourse.
Weird to say that Scorpia''s grandad surrendered to the horde while showing video of the exact opposite in the background. Where it is clearly shown that the horde forcefully took the black garnet with what I assume are her relatives tied up
I would assume that is the "official" version, the apparently tell on orientation day. Truth might be more: Grandpa Scorpia: "Okay you new neighbors are pretty scary. Maybe if we give you our black garnett, we can be friends." Hordak: "Ah, what kind offer for our efforts. To repay your kindness i will allow your Granddoughter to be raise in the Horde. Your lineage will be remembered when we conquer this world." Granpa: "Haha... that's sounds great... ehm could you maybe untie me now?" Hordak: "One moment... Oh, I'm sorry but Horde Primes rule book says nothing about releasing prisioner's so I'm afraid i can't do that."
Maybe the moms of Scorpia were fighting the hoard but the grandad decided there’s too much risk to continue ( good vers) so decided to try to escape instead with his daughter and grand daughter but failed so instead of his grand child being killed he “traded” her and the black garnet for her safety (cause... I mean they don’t show themselves in the series so I assume their dead already) and he knows she can gain the power of the black garnet and avenge them rather than all of them killed.....(giving him the benefit of the doubt) Another one could be (sadder version) he gave up the rebellion but his daughter still wanted to fight but hoardak was beating them so he decided to surrender to the hoard and act as a spy against his children so technically he did surrender to the hoard AS WELL AS scorpion peeps fighting the hoard but lost because of the grandad and the hoard still “took forcefully” the black garnet and Scorpia.... idk just a thought
It seems likely to me that Scorpia's family probably got the Atahualpa treatment. Suddenly invaded by an outside force with advanced technology, the Scorpion King (or maybe someone he loved) was taken hostage, and the other relatives or the kingdom surrendered the Black Garnet in exchange for his/their release, but the Horde killed them anyway. They would have put up a hell of a fight (notice how trashed everything in the Fright Zone still is), but apparently never had the chance to get allies. So, the Horde kept Scorpia around because she was young enough for them to raise and indoctrinate, and turn into a super-soldier. But Hordak was still concerned enough about her potential power that he gave the Black Garnet to Shadow Weaver instead.
I'm not sure it was an other version. Hordak was part of an utopia (very wrong one, ok) and try to reproduce it with lesser means. He made some kind of communist society. We se him after long years of bitter conflict. But what lead him here, we don't know. He may have arrive angry by Prime's abandon, or like "Wrong Hordax", just confuse. Scorpia said in princess prom, no one like her family before the horde. Again, nothing say it, maybe they were huge bastards, but if you think cats don't make dogs, here is an other theory: aside Glimmer's parents, we don't know the previous rulers. They were kings, perhaps tyrants or despots, they weld power unreacheable for mere mortals. They have castles and retainers. It's quite not a perfect egalitarian society. From what we see of Scorpia's castle remains, it seems more humble in some sides than other. The art is nice inside by the way, but look at the throne. It seems more approachable than the other: Glimmer's one with floating stairs, the moat around Mermista's one, Frosta's one have a volley of icy stair (that comes in competition with Hordax's one) where the tradition seems to be you're trown off when you disagree with the ruler. I won't speak of Entrapta castle were you just can't find her lab (that seems to be the closest thing of a throne room for her) even if you live there. From this perspective, I think Scorpia's great dad is the ruler that is the closest to his people at the exception of Perfuma's tribe. Maybe he gave his kingdom to Hordax in hope of a more egalitarian world from this godlike creature fall from the sky with unseen technology and unusual ideology. He may have die in tragic circumstances in the previous war, grieving a previously more chearful Hordak (like wrong Hordak).
She and Adora really showed how women can be strong, kind and dorks all at the same time. You can be a powerhouse and a great hugger at the same time! Scorpia and Adora are both to pure for the Horde, honestly. So I'm glad they found their right way in the end.
@@GoblinLord Most of the time their missing wit is also the reason why they are so pure and innocent. It is far harder to stay completely positive and empathic with a high intellect.
@@Mediados Hell, I'm only like, probably a point or 2 above average and I'm depressed all the heckin time lol However I will say that empathy is a different story, since Empathy is a skillset of intelligence, so you can be really smart and that smartness could be your emotional intelligence, now in terms of happiness, yea, ignorance is bliss for a reason,
@@GoblinLord Hmmmmm counting empathy to intelligence is a little bold if you ask me, because the mere knowledge of empathy does not make you empathic. It is more an internal, emotional thing if you can relate to the feeling of someone else. Depression is on the rise radically, whatever society does to its inhabitants, stop that shit. I have developed a mindset of „If you want to burn the world down at least wait until i got my popcorn.“, everything else would just be too discomforting.
@@Mediados I meant there's multiple forms of intelligence, go google it, knowing and recognizing the emotions of others is a form of intelligence, though I guess being able to recreate the emotion in yourself and correlate that could be qualified as a bit more into wisdom/intuition but ya know
I'm rewatcing the series and guess what I've noticed? In "Princess Prom" When Kyle and Lonnie are dragging Bow into their vehicle it's designed like a scorpion! Maybe it reminds you of a certain someone's tank????
I can't help appreciating Scorpia's friendship with Entrapta. It's pretty well established early on that Scorpia understands next to nothing of what Entrapta says, but she still GETS her. Scorpia understands how important tech is to her, and is most willing amongst the princesses to be patient with her quirks and enjoy being with the person behind them. I suspect part of that comes from befriending Emily. Such a caring bot had to get those traits from somewhere, and it sure wasn't the base programming provided by the Horde!
Exactly! Most of the other characters are either annoyed at Entrapta or being nice to her just because she's useful. Other than Hordak, Scorpia is the only one who seems to like Entrapta for who she is. She stood up to Mermista and the others, saying that Entrapta is just different, but she has a good heart. And she tries to share in with Entrapta's love for tech, even though she understands next to nothing.
I think it's shown that while she tries to understand Catra's more aware of Scorpia's limited intellect on such things when Entrapta sees Scorpia doing something with a notepad and says; "Scorpia understands" before Catra simply says; "Scorpia is drawing stick figures holding hands" right before Scorpia shows the drawing of exactly that and looks confused when looking away from a screen after Catra mentions her name
I love the new Scorpia because even though she was with the Horde at first, she was never truly pure evil to begin with, just misguided in following the wrong side. So relieved she realized how terrible the Horde was with attacking innocents.
I'm surprised no one is talking about how similar Scorpia and Catra are to Zuko and Iroh. Not just as characters, but in their growth as characters and the way they interact.
I haven't watched She Ra, but from what I've seen there's a lot, _lot_ of things it has in common with A:tLA. In fact, in certain lights, Catra's eyes look like blue and gold, almost like she's a merging of Zuko and Azula's characters.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate how the greatest characters are raised by gay parents? Yes, I am talking about Scorpia and her two moms and Bow with his two dads
Well to be fair voices that are distinguishable are kinda the point (before) so it’s understandable why it sounds so weird it’s so that you know that voice (since they don’t fully animate mouths (unless it has a bigger budget))
My headcanon is that the crimson waste is a part of her kingdom and when the horde made her castle into their headquarter it become an anarchy. I don't know how far is the crimson waste from the horde but still...
@@quwykxz That's actually not far off the mark. It's confirmed that Kyle and Rogelio are dating now, but Noelle says that (in her headcanon) Lonnie is part of the relationship, too. I think she's reluctant to say "yes this is definitely canon" because the series is over and because other people worked on it as well, so she doesn't want to act like the sole executive authority on what's canon in the show. But she's definitely made them a relationship in some of her post-series fanart, and if they continue she-ra in a comic or movie then it's possible we'll see the three of them forming a polycule together! (Also, they adopted Imp.)
One question the series never really answered was how did our queen in red chitin get promoted to Force Captain? She doesn't show much competency outside of being a massive sweetheart. I almost wonder if Shadow Weaver chosing her to supervise Catra was an attempt to sandbag Catra out of spite
Despite it being said that they got together shortly after the show, I think Perfuma and Scorpia had something going on before that. You could just see the love Perfuma had for her, and it’s a shame we didn’t get more on their relationship. Or even a kiss. I would have died to see that because they are my favorite characters out of any show I’ve ever seen😞 Just so wholesome. Hopefully if we have a movie, or somehow more seasons, we get to see them as a visual couple and not just indications of it. I need to see Scorpia finally happy, and know that there’s someone there that truly loves her. Other then sounding corny this was an excellent video! More attention on Scorpia is definitely needed💖
I love how the theme song itself is subtle, Scorpia is definitely one of my favorites too, and in the theme song as the seasons went on, it was matching with where her arc was going, like at first she’s ready to fight with the Horde, and then she’s looking conflicted and less sure, and then she’s with the Princesses in the final season, and it’s just...
Scorpia is a lot smarter than she lets on, especially when it comes to character study. She was the only one who realized the weirdness in the time warp, she is the one of the few people who understands that Entrapta has a hard time expressing her feelings, and she recognized Double Trouble in their disguise as Peekablue. And as someone who has dealt with an abusive person very similar to Catra, I felt so sorry for Scorpia and so proud when she stood up for herself and left. She needed to realize her self worth and that some people just won't change, no matter how hard you try to be nice to them. I absolutely hate how they ended up making Scorpia forgive Catra for her abusive behaviour but before that, it was amazing to see Perfuma support and fight for Scorpia. She even tells Catra that she knows how she treated Scorpia, and that Catra should stop acting like she knows Scorpia after everything she's done. After all the hugs and love Scorpia has given to everyone, she needed someone to care for her and cherish her the same way. And I'm glad Perfuma turned out to be so affectionate and protective towards her buff sunshine girlfriend.
Ngl I was really dissapointed to see Noelle confirm that Scorpia and Perfuma are romantic and Scorpias relationship to Catra was a romantic crush aswell. I am a person that gets platonic crushs and how Scorpia behaved around Catra was pretty much like me getting a platonic crush on someone and I really hoped that she would be confirmed as aroace. All the hordekids dont know family and barely know love. It was pretty clear that especially Adora and Catra had a hard time admitting their feeling for another cos noone showed them that it was possible.... But there is Scorpia who had a family and knew about them and about relationships. Since Scorpia always said she wants Catra as her friend I thought it was clearly platonic but I guess Noelle and her team werent allowed to confirm anything really gay yet or there would be stress with the funders. I just hope that someday there will be an aroace character in a kids series. Just something like "naah I just really wanna be friends but I dont see a romantic partner in them" or Merida style who tried to marry herself lol
Just because Scorpia has romantic feelings for others, doesn't mean that there won't be aro/ace kids' characters in the future. I'm glad Scorpia is lesbian, she makes me feel better and more confident about myself (cuz I'm also lesbian lol) also peridot from Steven universe is aro/ace. Listen, I want aro/ace characters as much as you do, buddy
You don't have to accept anything not directly in the show as Canon of you don't want to. So long as you respect the intent you can watch the show relating to it as you wish. I'd like to see more close platonic friendships or aro relationships too. It's very open ended
Scorpia hands down was my absolute favorite character in this series! I loved her character, her developmental arch, her super sweet personality, loyalty to a fault, and her unwavering inner strength even when she didn't know it. My seriously lit up every scene she was in and was like a low key rock for a lot of the princesses as well as her horde team. Did i mention how incredibly stunning and beautiful she was!? So very much my favorite part of the show and i never realized her and perfuma had a little thing going on. Fantastic show, loved the equality and diversity, loved the same sex couplings, loved that NOT ONE CHARACTER in the show was bothered when finding out about a same sexed marriage or anything. So refreshing this version of SHE-RA this one was to me because I'm big on equality and being open minded. Lastly, anyone that plays OVERWATCH...when you look at Scorpia how could you NOT get some serious Zarya vibes!?
Ooooo, thank you so much for spotlighting my most fav of the neo show. In the classic show I thought of her as a joke. But then when this new show flushed her out so much better. I lov Scorpia. I hope there will be more coming for her and the show.
They describe perfume as one of the most powerful princesses in terms of raw power. It seems fitting that they hook up since Scorpia is powerful in her own way with literal power.
I think it's a shame she was under the chip's control for so long, but when Bow runs into her at the end and you know one-on-one he just hasn't got a chance, that's quite a powerful device. A bit weird he seemed able to talk her back into control more easily and more effectively than Perfuma, but maybe it's just all Scorpia's sheer willpower and she just needs someone to help her see when is the best moment to temporarily overpower the chip.
I had no idea that a lot of the details throughout the reboot were references to the older story/stories. It's cool to see how they changed characters like her to be a lot more complex, realistic characters, but still tried to incorporate parts of the original.
A partner/friend who constantly gets abused by the person they admire/follow... reminds me of Lefou's relationship with Gaston speaking of that... Scorpia:Gosh it disturbs me to see you Catra,looking so down in the dumps,everyone loved to be you Catra even when taking your lumps,there's no gal in town as admired as you your everyone's favorite cat!,everyone's awed and inspired by you and it's not very hard to see why!,no one's slick as Catra,no ones quick as Catra,no ones neck is incredibly thick as Catra's,for those no gal who's as manly,perfect a pure paragon!,You can any Kyle,rongilo,or Lonnie,and they'll tell you who's team they prefer to be on,who plays... Trio: Darts like Catra! Scorpia:Who breaks.. Trio: Hearts like Catra! Scorpia:Who's much more than a cat like Catra! Catra:Yes as a specimen I'm intimidating! Everyone:My what a gal that Catra!
I would like to highlight that Scorpia never gave up on Catra. She tries to get a promise from Glimmer at the end of S4 to not hurt Catra, but Glimmer brushes her off with a "were the good guys" line. Scorpia leaving is more to get away from Catra's self-destruction that is hurting Scorpia herself and to save Entrapta. Scorpia realized the damage Catra was causing to Scorpia and she could no longer put herself through it but something that Scorpia and Adora never believed was that the compassionate and not evil Catra died. That under all the pain, suffering, self-destruction, and lack of Catra's own faith in herself there was a good person. Scorpia biggest evidence for Catra being a good person was Catra hyping Scorpia up for Princess Prom and in the Crimson Waste. 8:20, this was less Glimmer helping her and more Glimmer using Scorpia's power to activate the weapon. Technically it is two birds with one stone, Glimmer actually cares about Scorpia, unlike SW who will use anyone and doesn't care about someone's wants to get what she wants. Glimmer on the other hand wants
I love how Scorpia went from a weird looking pretty rude person in the 80's version to a cool kind cinnamon roll in the new version. This is why you my favorite character.
while i agree with everything in this video id like to add; there is no way scorpias people gave up their land and people willingly. you can see them tied and on the ground in the image, therefore it was probably a lie that the horde told scorpia to make her more loyal and to not resnet the horde.
Scorpia is my favorite character. That said I didn’t care for her song or the ‘romance’ with (Bow and Huntara’s ex-girlfriend) Perfuma. I felt like everything Perfuma said and did with Scorpia was just typical Perfuma. Perfuma actually asked Bow to the dance. With Huntara Perfuma lowered her guard and let out her frustration. I feel like she was only ever Princess Perfuma with Scorpia not Perfuma the person.
I didn’t know about when she actually turned against horde pines control before she was freed But when it was told to me it was the happiest I’ve felt in awhile
You can’t help but feel sorry for poor Scorpia; she tries SO hard to be a good girl and a kind friend, yet it keeps blowing up in her face time and again 🥺
I didn't see her in one of shadow weaver's flash backs and how did shadow weaver know that the hord was attacking her home world when she was in misacor that is far away from the hordes home base it doesn't make sense I mean if shadow weaver was where the hord was then she might stop them before all of that happened but she might die when she was doing that and is it strange that she didn't have any children of her own maybe she had some before the show started is it weird we got to see her with micah and queen glimmer first with micah in misacor and then with glimmer after glimmer became the new queen of her kingdom more like queendom why did shadow weaver die at the end of she ra and the princesses of power I only see double trouble in the last episode for a few seconds and what happened after the 13th episode of the 5th season did adore and catra get married or not
the original scorpia was glamorous in her appearance, but she was not really a stand out in the classic original she-ra series. I must admit, the new version of scorpia was one of the few things the new version of She-ra got RIGHT. the new version of scorpia really did tug at my heart strings.

@@honkytonk1360 um… fyi bisexual isn’t just males and females
@@theineffableshipper297 i'm aware? although... yeah i could've word it better, my awakenings were a year ago. i was a noob
I've said it elsewhere, but scorpions are known to be very devoted mothers.
And when one of the Babys falls of ... its a free meal
I can't help appreciating Scorpia's friendship with Entrapta. It's pretty well established early on that Scorpia understands next to nothing of what Entrapta says, but she still GETS her. Scorpia understands how important tech is to her, and is most willing amongst the princesses to be patient with her quirks and enjoy being with the person behind them. I suspect part of that comes from befriending Emily. Such a caring bot had to get those traits from somewhere, and it sure wasn't the base programming provided by the Horde!
Exactly! Most of the other characters are either annoyed at Entrapta or being nice to her just because she's useful. Other than Hordak, Scorpia is the only one who seems to like Entrapta for who she is. She stood up to Mermista and the others, saying that Entrapta is just different, but she has a good heart. And she tries to share in with Entrapta's love for tech, even though she understands next to nothing.
I think it's shown that while she tries to understand Catra's more aware of Scorpia's limited intellect on such things when Entrapta sees Scorpia doing something with a notepad and says; "Scorpia understands" before Catra simply says; "Scorpia is drawing stick figures holding hands" right before Scorpia shows the drawing of exactly that and looks confused when looking away from a screen after Catra mentions her name
The Lynda D’Ream thing makes so much sense now
ikr XD
I love the new Scorpia because even though she was with the Horde at first, she was never truly pure evil to begin with, just misguided in following the wrong side. So relieved she realized how terrible the Horde was with attacking innocents.
I'm surprised no one is talking about how similar Scorpia and Catra are to Zuko and Iroh. Not just as characters, but in their growth as characters and the way they interact.
Scorpia even brings Catra tea! Hahaha
me and my friend were actually just talking about that!
I haven't watched She Ra, but from what I've seen there's a lot, _lot_ of things it has in common with A:tLA. In fact, in certain lights, Catra's eyes look like blue and gold, almost like she's a merging of Zuko and Azula's characters.
Except Catra's redemption was just bad, unlike Zuko's.
I like how Noelle changed the "MAKE THE SCORPIAN CHARACTER A RUDE AND VIOLENT VILLIAN" into a hugging most nicest princess ever
Can we just take a moment and appreciate how the greatest characters are raised by gay parents? Yes, I am talking about Scorpia and her two moms and Bow with his two dads
Dis anyone else nearly scream when she mentioned “Lynda Dream”? I got so excited that they incorporated that into season five!
I love Scorpia, she’s one of my favourite princesses
Lmfaooo that old voice is very unnerving
Well to be fair voices that are distinguishable are kinda the point (before) so it’s understandable why it sounds so weird it’s so that you know that voice (since they don’t fully animate mouths (unless it has a bigger budget))
Her 80s voice is going to haunt my dreams. Almost as much as those cheekbones.
This is literally my wife. Seriously, she was told to watch the new show by friends saying “you should watch it, you’re in it.”
My headcanon is that the crimson waste is a part of her kingdom and when the horde made her castle into their headquarter it become an anarchy.
I don't know how far is the crimson waste from the horde but still...
I love how when she is dechipped she cradles Bow.
Scorpia and Entrapta are my favorite characters
Ahhh I didn’t know Scorfuma was canon!! So cute, my girl deserves it
I did not expect that the Lynda D'ream cover for Prince Peekablue party was a reference to the original.
I would love to see a video of catra, adora, and entrapta
Glimmer, Bow, Mermista and Sea Hawk too. I'll be honest, I want them all. 😁
What ever happened to Lonnie, Rogelio and Kyle?!
... Polyamorous relationship?..... 🤷♂️
@@quwykxz That's actually not far off the mark. It's confirmed that Kyle and Rogelio are dating now, but Noelle says that (in her headcanon) Lonnie is part of the relationship, too.
I think she's reluctant to say "yes this is definitely canon" because the series is over and because other people worked on it as well, so she doesn't want to act like the sole executive authority on what's canon in the show. But she's definitely made them a relationship in some of her post-series fanart, and if they continue she-ra in a comic or movie then it's possible we'll see the three of them forming a polycule together! (Also, they adopted Imp.)
Bat Signal they left the horde
@@normal6483 They adopted Imp?!? Why? That thing was the creepiest thing in the series, LOL. 😅
QUWYKXZ He’s a little baby :(
Scorpia is so wholesome! I love how cute she is
Who would’ve thought Arachnophobic, Like me would love something as sweet and kind like Scorpia?
She is a lovable lump
Original Scorpia’s voice is perfect, absolutely perfect
I love it so much
Especially contrasting her appearance
One question the series never really answered was how did our queen in red chitin get promoted to Force Captain? She doesn't show much competency outside of being a massive sweetheart.
I almost wonder if Shadow Weaver chosing her to supervise Catra was an attempt to sandbag Catra out of spite
Because cartoon logic I guess
You should do Hordak, Angella or Entrapta next! I’d love to see more She-Ra!!
Scorpia is one of the best characters of the series!
I just wish that Glimmer get a video like this next, she's my absolute favorite💖
Id love to see one with OG Catra and new Catra.
“Curvier” is a polite way of saying butchier, and she’s butch in the best way, butch is great, I love butch
i didnt know
PERFUMA AND SCORPIA
WERE C A N N O N ? !
BLESSED 💕💕💕
Entrapta I just love how she doesn’t know evil and good so she was like neutral
"cool" "fingerless gloves"
oh no
Despite it being said that they got together shortly after the show, I think Perfuma and Scorpia had something going on before that. You could just see the love Perfuma had for her, and it’s a shame we didn’t get more on their relationship. Or even a kiss. I would have died to see that because they are my favorite characters out of any show I’ve ever seen😞 Just so wholesome. Hopefully if we have a movie, or somehow more seasons, we get to see them as a visual couple and not just indications of it. I need to see Scorpia finally happy, and know that there’s someone there that truly loves her. Other then sounding corny this was an excellent video! More attention on Scorpia is definitely needed💖
Everytime when I see Catra wrapped up in a blanket I instantly think of a sad cat burrito
Love Scorpia, she's adorable
Thank you for doing another She-are video. Just donated to EJI, it’s not much but i hope it helps.
LOLOLOL Now I know where they came up with the spy name "Linda D'reem" for Scorpia in the reboot.
XD
I love Scorpia so much. I actively based my dnd character Sigrid off of her. Scorpia is just so kind and loyal and strong. She’s just great!
I love how the theme song itself is subtle, Scorpia is definitely one of my favorites too, and in the theme song as the seasons went on, it was matching with where her arc was going, like at first she’s ready to fight with the Horde, and then she’s looking conflicted and less sure, and then she’s with the Princesses in the final season, and it’s just...
Scorpia is a lot smarter than she lets on, especially when it comes to character study. She was the only one who realized the weirdness in the time warp, she is the one of the few people who understands that Entrapta has a hard time expressing her feelings, and she recognized Double Trouble in their disguise as Peekablue. And as someone who has dealt with an abusive person very similar to Catra, I felt so sorry for Scorpia and so proud when she stood up for herself and left. She needed to realize her self worth and that some people just won't change, no matter how hard you try to be nice to them.
I absolutely hate how they ended up making Scorpia forgive Catra for her abusive behaviour but before that, it was amazing to see Perfuma support and fight for Scorpia. She even tells Catra that she knows how she treated Scorpia, and that Catra should stop acting like she knows Scorpia after everything she's done. After all the hugs and love Scorpia has given to everyone, she needed someone to care for her and cherish her the same way. And I'm glad Perfuma turned out to be so affectionate and protective towards her buff sunshine girlfriend.
Mermista is my favorite character, like who doesn't love her?
Ngl I was really dissapointed to see Noelle confirm that Scorpia and Perfuma are romantic and Scorpias relationship to Catra was a romantic crush aswell.
I am a person that gets platonic crushs and how Scorpia behaved around Catra was pretty much like me getting a platonic crush on someone and I really hoped that she would be confirmed as aroace.
All the hordekids dont know family and barely know love. It was pretty clear that especially Adora and Catra had a hard time admitting their feeling for another cos noone showed them that it was possible.... But there is Scorpia who had a family and knew about them and about relationships. Since Scorpia always said she wants Catra as her friend I thought it was clearly platonic but I guess Noelle and her team werent allowed to confirm anything really gay yet or there would be stress with the funders.
I just hope that someday there will be an aroace character in a kids series. Just something like "naah I just really wanna be friends but I dont see a romantic partner in them" or Merida style who tried to marry herself lol
Peridot:Steven Universe
Just because Scorpia has romantic feelings for others, doesn't mean that there won't be aro/ace kids' characters in the future. I'm glad Scorpia is lesbian, she makes me feel better and more confident about myself (cuz I'm also lesbian lol) also peridot from Steven universe is aro/ace. Listen, I want aro/ace characters as much as you do, buddy
@@meloskillotorres1868 true i forgot my green gremlin yesterday
You don't have to accept anything not directly in the show as Canon of you don't want to. So long as you respect the intent you can watch the show relating to it as you wish. I'd like to see more close platonic friendships or aro relationships too. It's very open ended
@@laurellee1435 i'm sure that scorpia's crush on catra is directly canon. she literally asks her out! but that is true.
Scorpia hands down was my absolute favorite character in this series! I loved her character, her developmental arch, her super sweet personality, loyalty to a fault, and her unwavering inner strength even when she didn't know it. My seriously lit up every scene she was in and was like a low key rock for a lot of the princesses as well as her horde team. Did i mention how incredibly stunning and beautiful she was!? So very much my favorite part of the show and i never realized her and perfuma had a little thing going on. Fantastic show, loved the equality and diversity, loved the same sex couplings, loved that NOT ONE CHARACTER in the show was bothered when finding out about a same sexed marriage or anything. So refreshing this version of SHE-RA this one was to me because I'm big on equality and being open minded. Lastly, anyone that plays OVERWATCH...when you look at Scorpia how could you NOT get some serious Zarya vibes!?
Scorpia melts my heart.
Scorpia is very wholesome, but her persistant disregard for boundaries (especially catra's) deserves mentioning
Ooooo, thank you so much for spotlighting my most fav of the neo show. In the classic show I thought of her as a joke. But then when this new show flushed her out so much better. I lov Scorpia. I hope there will be more coming for her and the show.
Do Entrapta or Mermista next
Scorpia is best girl. Also she 100% made me question my sexuality.
They describe perfume as one of the most powerful princesses in terms of raw power. It seems fitting that they hook up since Scorpia is powerful in her own way with literal power.
I think it's a shame she was under the chip's control for so long, but when Bow runs into her at the end and you know one-on-one he just hasn't got a chance, that's quite a powerful device. A bit weird he seemed able to talk her back into control more easily and more effectively than Perfuma, but maybe it's just all Scorpia's sheer willpower and she just needs someone to help her see when is the best moment to temporarily overpower the chip.
I had no idea that a lot of the details throughout the reboot were references to the older story/stories. It's cool to see how they changed characters like her to be a lot more complex, realistic characters, but still tried to incorporate parts of the original.
Oh I know ship it perferuma x scropia forever
I couldn't stop thinking how much she looks like Zarya while watching the show :P
OOOOOH BET. I FOLLOWED THE STEVEN SERIES BUT NOW IM EXCITED FOR THIS ONE
A partner/friend who constantly gets abused by the person they admire/follow... reminds me of Lefou's relationship with Gaston speaking of that...
Scorpia:Gosh it disturbs me to see you Catra,looking so down in the dumps,everyone loved to be you Catra even when taking your lumps,there's no gal in town as admired as you your everyone's favorite cat!,everyone's awed and inspired by you and it's not very hard to see why!,no one's slick as Catra,no ones quick as Catra,no ones neck is incredibly thick as Catra's,for those no gal who's as manly,perfect a pure paragon!,You can any Kyle,rongilo,or Lonnie,and they'll tell you who's team they prefer to be on,who plays...
Trio: Darts like Catra!
Scorpia:Who breaks..
Trio: Hearts like Catra!
Scorpia:Who's much more than a cat like Catra!
Catra:Yes as a specimen I'm intimidating!
Everyone:My what a gal that Catra!
I would like to highlight that Scorpia never gave up on Catra. She tries to get a promise from Glimmer at the end of S4 to not hurt Catra, but Glimmer brushes her off with a "were the good guys" line. Scorpia leaving is more to get away from Catra's self-destruction that is hurting Scorpia herself and to save Entrapta. Scorpia realized the damage Catra was causing to Scorpia and she could no longer put herself through it but something that Scorpia and Adora never believed was that the compassionate and not evil Catra died. That under all the pain, suffering, self-destruction, and lack of Catra's own faith in herself there was a good person. Scorpia biggest evidence for Catra being a good person was Catra hyping Scorpia up for Princess Prom and in the Crimson Waste.
8:20, this was less Glimmer helping her and more Glimmer using Scorpia's power to activate the weapon. Technically it is two birds with one stone, Glimmer actually cares about Scorpia, unlike SW who will use anyone and doesn't care about someone's wants to get what she wants. Glimmer on the other hand wants
I love how Scorpia went from a weird looking pretty rude person in the 80's version to a cool kind cinnamon roll in the new version. This is why you my favorite character.
while i agree with everything in this video id like to add; there is no way scorpias people gave up their land and people willingly. you can see them tied and on the ground in the image, therefore it was probably a lie that the horde told scorpia to make her more loyal and to not resnet the horde.
"KITTY!"
It took her only word to steal my heart XD
I love ya Whitney! These videos are awesome thank you for doing them!
I’m dying watching Scorpia being herself
When are you gonna do a Catra: History & Symbolism Explain, Adora: History & Symbolism Explain or Catradora: History & Symbolism Explain?
Jesus Enriquez yes,yes,yes
Scorpia is my favorite character.
That said I didn’t care for her song or the ‘romance’ with (Bow and Huntara’s ex-girlfriend) Perfuma. I felt like everything Perfuma said and did with Scorpia was just typical Perfuma.
Perfuma actually asked Bow to the dance. With Huntara Perfuma lowered her guard and let out her frustration. I feel like she was only ever Princess Perfuma with Scorpia not Perfuma the person.
Scorpia is one of my FAVORITE characters lol, her like of hugs immaculate
When you said Scorpia's Moms I audibly gasped
I LEGIT THOUGHT HER OTHER MOM WAS JUST A REALLY FEMININE MAN FML!!!!!
Your voice reminds me a lot of Entrapta lmao
Scorpia is peak best friend goals. When I look for a friend I look for someone to balance me out like Scorpia balances Entrapta.
I just started watching SheRa It is amazing
Not a single living person in this universe is allowed to hate her.
Would love to see more of these for the other princesses and Horde soldiers!
Am I not the only one that unintentionally find reboot Scorpua hot even with ber scorpion features
80s Scorpia looks like she uses her entire eyeshadow palette to do her makeup every day
Baby girl love her!😭
I love Scorpia! She's such a cinnamon bun
Scorpia might have one of the biggest hearts in the series
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW AND THIS VIDEO WAS PUT ONLINE ON MY BIRTHDAY. I KNOW ITS NOT IMPORTANT BUT YAY
I knew I wasn’t the only one that fort scorpio and catra where good for echover for the first few seasons
Who else took forever to figure out.
that Scorpias alias was Linda D'ream 🤣
I didn’t know about when she actually turned against horde pines control before she was freed
But when it was told to me it was the happiest I’ve felt in awhile
Scorpia is my absolute favorite princess!! I love her so so much ♥️
You can’t help but feel sorry for poor Scorpia; she tries SO hard to be a good girl and a kind friend, yet it keeps blowing up in her face time and again 🥺
I got a new breakdown series idea for you guys, the Netflix voltron series! Make this a thing! Kris! You were born for this series!
“She-Ra, no! We do NOT throw tanks at our friends!”
-Perfuma, SPOP s5.
3:22 In which episode is this part shown?
Do Catra!
I didn't see her in one of shadow weaver's flash backs and how did shadow weaver know that the hord was attacking her home world when she was in misacor that is far away from the hordes home base it doesn't make sense I mean if shadow weaver was where the hord was then she might stop them before all of that happened but she might die when she was doing that and is it strange that she didn't have any children of her own maybe she had some before the show started is it weird we got to see her with micah and queen glimmer first with micah in misacor and then with glimmer after glimmer became the new queen of her kingdom more like queendom why did shadow weaver die at the end of she ra and the princesses of power I only see double trouble in the last episode for a few seconds and what happened after the 13th episode of the 5th season did adore and catra get married or not
1:39 Oof Glimmer got served.
the original scorpia was glamorous in her appearance, but she was not really a stand out in the classic original she-ra series. I must admit, the new version of scorpia was one of the few things the new version of She-ra got RIGHT. the new version of scorpia really did tug at my heart strings.
Can we have Bow next please? ☺️
Scorpia and Entrapta are seriously the best princesses.
Scorpia did show some resistance when chipped
