[She-Ra]

[(Anonymous)]

I don't care for the new art that I've seen, so I'm not going to watch. (No shade on anyone who likes it; it just doesn't grab me.) I just find it really flat and generic. I can't tell half of the newer cartoons apart because the art style is so samey.

[(Anonymous)]

There are more frames in this secret than in an original She-Ra cartoon.

[(Anonymous)]

lol

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like the old art style at all, but each to their own.

[(Anonymous)]

When I heard they were remaking it I was hoping they would stick with the original style of animation.

I am so sick of googly looking anime eyes and round faces.

[(Anonymous)]

And I'm sick of teenaged girls looking like they're fucking 30 so.

[morieris]

The new style really is...oddly simple for the characters, especially when the backgrounds are so pretty and detailed.

Said backgrounds aren't jumping and fighting, yes, but the characters really stick out. Otherwise, I enjoy their designs (I love Mermista and Entrapta) and the story.

[(Anonymous)]

generic faces are easier to project onto, provided they don't weird you out

you see this contrast in a lot of places, even the original tintin comics: very stylized faces/people. much more realistic or detailed backgrounds and objects

[anarchicq]

I really dislike Glimmer's redesign and Catra took a while to get used to because she was my favourite when I was small, but it grew on me.

I love sleek Hordak though.

My "Fuck this art style. Not watching" reboot is Thundercats.

[(Anonymous)]

It looks like bad Sailor Moon fanart. :/

[nightscale]

I like them both tbh, they've got different vibes to them though and the newer show absolutely fits in with the current trend of modern-cartoon animation.

I will say that the new show's character models are relatively simple while the backgrounds are gorgeous, but I wonder if that's for ease of making the show(getting it done faster and what-not so it can be produced to a tighter schedule, but I really don't know so this is just conjecture on my part).

And tbh I really like a lot of the designs for the characters even if they are simple, Catra being a fave since I'm always a sucker for cat-girls.

[(Anonymous)]

Objectively they're not wrong, though. The old style was painfully generic, and for a very specific reason- they have sameface and same body type so they only had to use one model to animate and one mold to make toys of every character. Even if you don't like the new style and think it's too simple, lazy or flat (and it's fine if that's your opinion) it's still miles better in quality than the original.

[(Anonymous)]

I prefer the older art style, but I'm okay with the new art style. I feel like some more "toy-ish" fashion designs (such as more helmets, armor, circlets, etc.) would've been nice, but I'm okay with it so far. The new show has made everyone into children/young teenagers and I'm alright with folks looking different because of that.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the main thing I dislike about the redesign is how everyone looks roughly 14-15 years old and that doesn't really fit with the background story the characters have. I miss the time when characters were actual adults (I preferred adult characters back when I was a kid as well).

[(Anonymous)]

The new design looks kind of sjw ish tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

The new art is just so.. soulless. It's flat and uninspired and looks like a twelve-year-old drew it. The old art may have been 80s as hell, but at least it had some flair to it.

It's too bad because the original She-Ra was my childhood and I was psyched for a remake, but the art is just so ugly and off-putting that I have zero interest in watching it.

[(Anonymous)]

I prefer the newer stuff because, tbh, I so rarely get to see people of my body type (Spinnerella) in anything, much less as a good guy.

Also they all looked like adults despite being teens in the old show. And yes, they were teens! It's creepy to me how sexualized the old version is when she was, like, 16~. Like. She looked in her twenties to thirties. I can't stand that!

[(Anonymous)]

I've enjoyed the new a lot, and have no opinion on the original, but the one design that does bug me is new Perfuma. She just looks ????? wrong to me somehow.

[(Anonymous)]

I've just watched the new She-Ra and I honestly like EVERYTHING about it. :D

[(Anonymous)]

The characters in the new one are actually animated, as opposed to the ones in the original toy commecial, that was probably shot on six different recycled frames, when anything moved at all. Stills don't capture how crappy it was.

That said, I didn't love the new designs for Shadowweaver or Perfuma, and Angela is bugging me some too. Hordak is MUCH better though, and overall, the new one is a far superior production.

[(Anonymous)]

I have no horse in this race because I never watched the old one and probably won't watch this one either.

But I really wish this "undercut/sidecut" hairstyle trend would die already. It's been overdone to death.

[(Anonymous)]

I FAR prefer the 80's designs, but I grew up on 80's style cartoons, so they trigger a feeling of comfort and nostalgia in me where the 2018 redesigns leave me cold. In 30 years when they reboot it again, people who are children now will probably say the same things about the 10's designs in comparison to the 2048 reimaginings.

[(Anonymous)]

I like the character designs of the new show and the premise, giving everyone more personality, but the animation style is so stiff and bland. I wish it was more like AtLA or Voltron; the overall feeling isn’t too far off but those shows also have teen heroes with unique bodies, skin types, expressive faces, and the movement and powers were beautiful. It’s just so close to awesome but then falls short.

[(Anonymous)]

So I see a lot of wank over the age characters in the original show. Yes they were teens, 18 and 19, Flutterina at the age of 16 was the only one stated to be younger in the original show. Sea Hawk is at least 20 years old. Adam became He-Man at the age 16 and after about 3 years of being He-Man he found Adora.

Adora aged up when she became She-ra as well as being taller because her identity was secret in the original. She-Ra was meant to be a mystery savior, someone to inspire the people and give them confidence, it's hard to be taken serious as a 15 year old.

This was my childhood, I had all the toys, I will forever geek out on 80's cartoons.
