In The Crimson Waste

Scorpia: Are you sure this is what Hordak meant by 'Comb The Desert'?

Catra: Of course you fool, we're following orders. *to Tung-Lashor* YOU GUYS FOUND ANYTHING YET!?!?

[saccharinerose]

Nice view

[that-one-scorpia-kinnie]

Huntara: *In the tavern, arm-wrestling with Tung Lashor*

Goat Lady: *from the crowd* Fuck off to your blondie!

Huntara: *Slams Tung Lashor's arm down immediately* Who the fuck mouthed that shit?! Who's cunt's head am I tearing off?

Goat Lady: Me, I'm the cunt.

Huntara: Oh it's you. Eh whatever, fuck off.

Masters of the Universe Bruce Timm mini-comics: Enter Buzzsaw Hordak!

Hordak recruited Mosquitor somewhere off-screen and Dragstor meets him for the first time. Grizzlor, Leech, Mantenna, Modulok and Multi-Bot are all missing.

“Only the right King of Eternia may pass the tower’s guardian unharmed!”

OK, so you remember how Skeletor passed this tower’s door guardian unharmed by sacrificing Tung Lashor to trigger its trap? Apparently that only worked because Skeletor was the rightful King of Eternia. If it was a simple matter of physics, Hordak could make Dragstor walk ahead of him and walk in under the jaws he’d get trapped in exactly like the Tung Lashor/Skeletor scene.

I like how Hordak tanks a high-speed hit from an ultralight aircraft with his pecs.

There’s a lot to unpack on this page!

I particularly like Hordak’s body language in response to feelings of weakness/helplessness. That’s an emotional depth you didn’t expect to see before SPOP.

Did... did Central Tower take away his internal organs?

“Hurricane Hordak is dead! Long live Buzz-Saw Hordak-- the most horrible Hordak of all!”

Way to be overdramatic, whichever Hordak.

Tung Lashor: Let's try this once more, shall we? Before I violently remove something you care deeply about.

Catra: So, does that mean if I care deeply about you, you'll leave?

One of the things I really love about Once Upon A Time In The Waste is that Catra gets to show off how incredibly tough and smart she is. Usually, we see her go up against the likes of She-Ra, Shadow Weaver, and Hordak, all of whom she beats except She-Ra, who she holds her own against better than any other character we’ve seen. But all of them are very tough and powerful characters and it makes it easy to forget how tough Catra, who has no magic nor particularly powerful weapons at her disposal, is for keeping up with them. In this episode, we see her inflicted upon the bandits of the Waste, where Huntara and Tung Lashor are the strongest folk around, and she just ends up taking the place over in a few days, and it’s a delight to watch.

What do you think about the idea that She-Ra 2018 and He-Man 2002 are happening around the same time? Cause of the whole Hordak going to Despondos in both shows.

Its about as plausible as She-Ra 2018 and the newer Core/CGI He-Man series taking place at the same time. I have no truly compelling feelings about it one way or the other.

Except, that it is a little frustrating trying to reconcile the inconsistencies between them. In SPOP, Hordak is a soft but unloved wet pathetic baby man with a frail body (I love him so much TT); while in 2002 he's this cruel and battle-hardened warlord, with a strong and healthy body. The Hordak of SPOP and the Hordak of Core/CGI are more alike than SPOP and 2002. Also, the way Hordak ends up in Despondos, in SPOP he's banished by Horde Prime, while in 2002 he's banished by D'Vann Grayskull. While in Core/CGI we don't know what Hordak's deal is so we can say its whatever we want.

This is by no means arguing that Core/CGI should be crossed over with SPOP more than 2002. As I said, the idea of SPOP being connected to either of them are equally as plausible.

The problem is corporate licensing.

Nate Stevenson (Noelle Stevenson at the time that he was showrunner) was not given permission to use Adam or any "He-Man characters" (except Tung Lashor), so he couldn't have She-Ra connect with He-Man.

This was limiting for him, but it was also kinda freeing because it allowed him to take SPOP in direction that he could not have gone if it was connected to He-Man. Making Adora a First One for example, and then making the First Ones a race of ancient colonizers that appropriated planets' magic and dumped their toxic waste in the middle of the ocean. That shit would not have gone over if SPOP were connected to He-Man meaning that Marlena and Randor would have been imperial colonizers responsible for turning Etheria into a weapon and leaving all that fucked up shit on Beast Island.

Those are also details that are difficult to reconcile in an SPOP|He-Man crossover, regardless of if its 2002 or Core/CGI.

TUNG LASHOR HEADCANON

Tung Lashor has frequent nightmares of Catra.

I don’t know whether this is a joke or not, but take from it as you will. 

[thedrylcupcakessquad]

I can't decide if either I want Tung Lashor to stay dead or alive in my headcanon post s5 Etheria, cause both of the solutions look really interesting when I think about them:

He stays dead and we have a real example of Catra killing someone on screen, which is a really funny thing for a show aimed for children, and while it's creator wants to make the illusion that Catra is completely innocent, we have real evidence that she commited fully canon murder.

He survives (somehow) and manages to escape the Crimson Wastes, then goes to Bright Moon and when the war is over he realizes that Catra, who took everything from him, is still alive and is actually treated like a new hero to Etheria. It makes him hella mad so he tries to kill her for revenge like he was some cartoon villain.
