FACTS DR KENT w NOT EVERYONE WHO DISLIKES THE SHE-RA REBOOT IS A SEXIST/HOMOPHOBIC/RACIST JERK imgflip.com
DreamWorks Animation 7 h When the Princess Alliance plots to create a battle plan, Bow's imagination runs wild! Dive into Bow's mind in all new episodes of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, now streaming on Netflix! NEW CLIP WHY THE HELL COULDN'T THESE BE THE ACTUAL DESIGNS ON THE SHOW!
J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski Follow 1/ As the guy who co-created the character of She-Ra and her universe alongside Larry DiTillio (though Mattel named her), a few thoughts. (Note: I am in no way connected with the current show, so l'm speaking both as an outsider to what is and an insider to what was intended) J. Michael Straczynski@straczynski Jul 19 2/ We never considered or wrote for She-Ra as "the ideal woman." I don't think that phrase appeared anywhere in the bible we wrote, and certainly never in our discussions. We spoke, and wrote of, and considered her a warrior, first and foremost. J. Michael Straczynski@straczynski Jul 19 3/ So l think anyone who is looking back at She-Ra (or Adora) as the "ideal woman" is doing so through the lens of prepubescent (since it was aimed at kids) interest and kind of, understandably, imprinted on her like baby ducks. I get it. But that wasn't the creative intent* 3.0K J. Michael Straczynski@straczynski Jul 19 4/ To the whole "idealized person" discussion, I would add that there is a significant distinction to be made in terms of how a character like She-Ra is discussed or seen versus how male characters are seen both in shows like this and in super-hero books in general. ti 204 23 J. Michael Straczynski@straczynski Jul 19 5/ Yes, male characters tend to be idealized in form and proportion; but female characters tend to be objectified. There is a profound difference between those two, and failing to perceive that distinction is pernicious. That's why you'll rarely see a male superhero without pants 943 J. Michael Straczynski@straczynski Jul 19 6/ By that I don't mean naked, I mean without leggings of some kind. But that's absolutely the rule for female characters (I say this as the guy who put Wonder Woman in pants during his run because seriously it's hard to fight otherwise). No leg hair for guy heroes. J. Michael Straczynski@straczynski Jul 19 7/ Anyway, just wanted to add some possible clarity to the discussion. If you're looking for writers to create your "ideal woman" that wasn't the intent, this ain't it, and we don't know you well enough to guess, and be aware that ideliai does not equal objectification. 4 ti 215 2.6K J. Michael Straczynski@straczynski Jul 19 8/ That perspective is something l've always tried to bring to bear in my work, from so-creating She-Ra's personality to Delenn, Ivanova, Lyta and others on Babylon 5, all the way to Riley, Sun, Kala, Nomi and Amanita on Sense8. It's all about strength, smarts and wit.
