She-Ra and the Princesses of Power S02E04 - Roll With It
Huh. Interesting title. There have been some changes in the lives of some of the main characters so maybe it's about how they are reacting to them. Catra with being effectively demoted after Entrapta managed to catch Hordrak's attention, or maybe Glimmer with everything that has happened? Although I guess Adora is the one who hasn't really dealt yet with everything that's been happening to her so it could be her way of postponing doing that.
I don’t know, so let’s do this!
I thought Glimmer was usually the leader in these missions, interesting. Is Adora's training with Light Hope taking effect?
Welp, I guess Bow is dead now.
Wait, wait, what? Why are they taking it so seriously like they'd actually let Bow die?
It has to be a dream, right? But who's? She-Ra was the leader so it'd make sense if it was her having stress nightmares.
...oh, they are playing a RPG. Okay then, nevermind all that tragic stuff.
Also, why don't figures that look like that exist?
Look at that! It's so cute! It's like a She-Ra amiibo! Or a Nendoroid maybe?
Are they actually using a tabletop rpg to plan out their missions? Because that's awesome. And weird. How would an observation check work in real life?
I mean, they can't count on having rainbow powers so there'll always be some improvisation.
I'm dying at the show's suddenly getting out the sad strings for this joke.
It's either going to be Kyle or Scorpia, right?
Also, Adora is really showing some cracks under the pressure. I understand her being serious about it but her attitude seems a bit beyond that.
there you go
Oh Scorpia, I missed you.
I mean, Scorpia is a Force Captain. How does the horde's hierarchy work anyway? Catra is also a Force Captain but in charge of... everything below Hordrak?
We should all strive to be as positive as Scorpia.
So far I've been kinda joking about Scorpia having a crush not really believing it'd go beyond some insinuation and jokes but there aren't a lot of other ways to interpret that line. Poor Scorpia, they are really setting her up to get horribly disappointed and/or hurt at some point, huh?
Anyway, what's Catra doing? Preparing for the season finale?
That slow blink is such a perfect reaction image, even though it only works in context.
This is extremely cute and now everything I want is for Scorpia to be happy.
I can't remember if the lizard guy has a name, but he looks like he regrets waking up that morning.
I just realized that the episode title is probably about Adora accepting that she can't plan everything in advance.
This is the coolest and most unexpected thing I have seen this week. Wow. It kinda feels like a direct reference to something but I'm not sure what, but it does have the feel of the 80s, especially with all that purple neon aesthetic.
And Kyle's pompadour is the absolute best and he'd gain the instant respect and love of everyone in the Horde if he managed to get that haircut.
I really missed Glimmer. She may not have the most strategic or realistic of plans but damn she's going to look awesome while executing it and isn't that the most important goal of all?
Actually, they need to change reality to make Glimmer's plan viable because now I want to watch that show.
"Fee Fi Fo Fugh so annoying"
There's absolutely no way Glimmer would have resisted using her powers long enough to make this the first time they detect them.
Wow, soldiers. Can't wait to not see them during the attack.
This episode could kill everyone by the end and I'd still walk away thinking it was awesome just because of these scenes.
Catra did capture Glimmer and then completely bamboozled them when they captured her so... it kinda makes sense that Glimmer sees her as some slick and sophisticated super villain.
Noooo, don't interrupt that line.
After seeing the awesomeness of Glimmer's imagination, I want to see what Bow's plan.
Rooting for the villains here.
"mom?"
One more thing to crush Scorpia's heart when it inevitably gets destroyed.
I hope someday the Horde will become accessible to everyone, including those with claws for hands.
"Scorpia fails to do something with her claws" is the one joke in She-Ra that feels weirdly cruel.
Mermista flexing her kingdom's budget with her custom articulated Revoltech figure vs Bow's nendoroids.
Yessssss
The biggest lore drop so far, Glimmer watched anime when she was a kid, Bow watched 80s cartoons.
OH MY GOD
Those are the original costumes, right? Poor, poor Mermista.
This is absolutely amazing.
Yup, still amazing.
Isn't that the reason why all the characters have the same body in the original show? They are really having fun with this episode.
Undertale, 2015
Adora's rage counter.
...I mean, how do you argue with that?
This episode keeps getting better and better.
Bow's nod is just * chef's kiss *
SEA-RA
Oooh, this is going to be good.
I hesitate to mention a specific site because I have no idea where kids post OCs and self-insert fics these days but, wherever it is, Frosta is 100% there.
The best part is that Mermista keeps being the only who likes Frosta's edgy OC.
Yeah, she's definitely posting that OC fanart everywhere.
oh my god this episode
Scorpia is going to take their OCs seriously, isn't she?
This is reaaally not going to help fight the Horde's "the princesses are evil and can't control their powers" propaganda.
How is it possible for the episode to keep outdoing itself.
Another example of the princesses' disregard for the lives of the innocent. That child had a family!
There's always a lower place on the totem pole.
Wow, perfectly accurate. I had no idea Perfuma understood Catra so deeply.
Catra is rocking those sunglasses.
I have nothing to write, this screenshot is perfect as-is.
Everyone writing their awesome self-insert fics while Adora writes angst and hurt/comfort.
This episode has been absolutely amazing so far but I was waiting for Adora to explode at some point. I'm glad she's finally telling them about the pressure she's feeling.
That went from hilarious to sad to heartwarming in like 60 seconds.
...the tower is going to be empty, isn't it?
Unexpectedly cute.
THANK YOU
oh my god, I'm speechless at everything that's going on
I just found out your name, Rogelio! You can't die now!
welp, rip.
It looks like no one told Scorpia how Glimmer escaped Shadow Weaver.
I can't tell if Scorpia didn't meant to kill Glimmer so she threw her where she was safe or if she did it on accident.
aw, they were waiting for her
It's the hair, main, the hair. This wouldn't have happened if he had a pompadour.
What an amazing episode to come back to, even though I ended up watching it in pieces (I watched a bit in March before the hiatus). Somehow it managed to get better every time I pressed play.
I don't really have a lot to say because the episode was mostly comedy but almost every joke landed for me. I'm just a tiny bit worried about what an episode so funny means for the season since Adora's explosion wasn't as big of a downer as it could have been. Was this the breather before it all goes to pot?
In any case, I'm glad Adora opened up at least a bit, that I got to hear Glimmer doing an "oh ho ho" laugh and that everyone got their chance to shine with their roleplaying abilities.
Until next time!
