She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is barely a day out and fans are already in love

The Netflix reboot of She-Ra and the Power Princesses debuted on Nov. 13, and Twitter users have a lot to say about the premiere.

Twitter users and nostalgic ’80s kids alike have eagerly waited for the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power reboot. Even Netflix and DreamWorks were so over-zealous about sharing this inclusive remake with the world, seeing as the creators expedited the premiere date to today, November 13.

Adora and her princess pals haven’t settled into their new Netflix home for a full day yet. Yet, people have already started watching the series and they have a lot to tweet about its debut.

She-Ra introduces empowering LGBTQ+ representation and body diversity — and overall diversity that’s representative of people in our real-non-Etheria realm. In fact, many fans love the series for its mindful inclusivity. Beyond just including representation, the series embraces it, which is what some fans find so enduring.

Like any series we grow attached to, viewers are using their Netflix-binging experience to support their favorite ships from the series. Judging by the aggregate reactions to She-Ra, Adora and Catra are a fan-favorite coupledom.

Overall, fans on Twitter seem to empathize with many of the characters, including the antagonists. One user in particular breaks down how Catra’s messy character development is directly interlinked to how Shadow Weaver manipulated her.

To be honest, after all she’s been through with the Horde, I’m a shameless Catra apologists too.

While some users are recapping the series by defending their faves, others are actively ready to defend the series. And that makes perfect sense for a show like She-Ra, which has transformed its animated characters into exemplary role models for younger viewers.

She-Ra has noticeably made an impact on fans already. Some stan accounts have already shifted their fandom and display names to She-Ra esque layouts, and creators are joining the well-deserved hype. Illustrator and comic artist Jen Bartel tweeted some fanart in honor of the reboot.

Bartel’s line art allows fans, particularly younger viewers, to extend their fandom for the series while they wait for the (hopefully) next season to enter the Netflix queue.

Regardless of how fans celebrate the rebirth of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, it’s clear that the carefully crafted LGBTQ+ representation and empowering female characters have had a resounding and positive impact for many fans.
