Reaction Shot: She-Ra episode 5 (or, ADVENTURE!)

[spindizzy]

It's fun to come back to this and see my initial impression of Sea Hawk, because... Wow. Sea Hawk is sure a person.

• OF COURSE GLIMMER WANTS TO GO FIRST. OF COURSE.


• ... I'm with Glimmer on this one, trying once and never again when lives are on the line seems a little short-sighted.


• Also, Angella's of the generation it didn't work for. MAYBE this is how we find out why they broke up.


• Look, look, she's actually thought it through! She has thought out the tactical ramifications of her plan! GO GLIMMER!


• "With She-Ra, we can conquer anything!"
  "And a boat."
  "With She-Ra and a boat, we can conquer anything!"
  "And an experienced sea captain."
  "UGH. With She-Ra, a boat, AND AN EXPERIENCED SEA CAPTAIN, we can conquer anything!"


• "No violence and no collateral damage." She really doesn't ask for much, does she?


• I EXPECT THIS TO GO TERRIBLY, AND ALSO FOR CATRA TO NOT SHOW UP BECAUSE CATS AND WATER.


• LOOK AT ALL THOSE HARDCORE SHADY LADYTYPES, OKAY, I AM GAY AND WEAK, THESE BACKGROUND CHARACTERS ARE AN ATTACK ON ME PERSONALLY.


• "Seaworthy looks just like I imagined." Bow, you're adorable.


• I HATE SEA HAWK ALREADY.


• ... So he's the useless Han Solo analogue? Is his moustache fake?


• YES HE IS, I SAW THAT "I DID THE FIFTY KLICK GALEBREATH GAUNTLET IN TWENTY KLICKS" REFERENCE, I SAW WHAT YOU DID THERE.


• OH MY GOD HAS HE EVER EVEN BEEN ON A BOAT. IS HE ACTUALLY A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD POSER PRETENDING TO BE COOL.


• "My moustache is naturally shiny." BOW IS SO CRUSHING ON THIS GUY.


• ADORA HOW ARE YOU LIKE THIS.


• He is definitely in disguise as someone and possibly a princess.


• "Uh, didn't Hordak JUST order you to stop going after Adora?" THANK YOU Catra, because I'm pretty sure he did!


• SCORPIA! This is the character that everyone said was someone that I would play/write/identify with strongly.


• Scorpia: *LOOMS MENACINGLY*
  Me: Oh shit I'm gay.
  Scorpia: Kitty! *picks up Catra* Just so you know, I'm a hugger.
  Me: Oh shit I'm in love.


• I knew that Catra would hate boats. I KNEW IT.


• "What happened to the Dragon's Breath 1 and 2?"
  "They went down in flames."
  "How?"
  "I set them on fire. ADVENTURE!"


• "You are a strangely overqualified crew."


• OH HE DOES GET TO SING HIS SHANTY, GOOD. Also Bow is not straight in any way.


• "Is that a normal thing she does?"


• I love that we don't even need to see her fight the sea beastie, we can just accept it as read that she did.


• "There's a Force Captain Orientation?!" GODDAMMIT SHADOW WEAVER.


• "Ooh, impressive captain yell!"


• That stutter on this "AND I DO" says so much.


• "Ew, who let him back in here?" THANK YOU PRINCESS, YOU SAID WHAT WE WERE ALL THINKING.


• Mermista is so done with everything and I kinda love it. She is just so like... Dry, bored, whatever. Impressive! (THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM THE MERMAID IN THE OPENING CREDITS!


• He is the worst and most boring ex.


• Adora totally got this, I believe in her.


• SHE-RA IS SO COOL THAT MERMISTA ACTUALLY GOT A FACIAL EXPRESSION, WTFFFFF.


• Is he literally trying to mope his way into Glimmer's sympathy?


• "Try being the daughter of an immortal queen when your power is *waves hands* sparkles."


• NO DON'T BE NICE TO HIM, HE'S A POSER AND DOESN'T DESERVE IT.


• SCORPIA LOOKS SO HAPPY TO BE FIRING THAT GUN.


• Mermista's full-body UGGGGGH at the Horde showing up is such a mood.


• SHE CAN TURN HER LEGS INTO A TAIL.


• Dammit Kyle, AGAIN?


• LOOK AT BOW BEING A CONFIDENT COMPETENT BADASS WITH TRICK SHOTS AND GOOEY ARROWS, LOOK AT HOW GOOD HE IS!


• Mermista is so done and has no fucks to give.


• "Oh. You're big." YES SHE IS I LOVE HER ♥


• SHE LITERALLY YEETS HIM ONE-HANDED INTO THE SEA, I LOVE HER.


• As if Sea Hawk actually did something useful. AS IF.


• "Sea Hawk, I need you to do what you do best. SET YOUR SHIP. ON FIRE."


• It's like all of his birthdays came at once! I'm honestly happy for him.


• (Also I love that Glimmer's main concern is her mum finding out what she's been up to.)


• This thing where Catra can just sit on the sword and She-Ra not only doesn't break a sweat, her arms don't even drop an inch? AMAZING.


• "What's you plan? Insult me until I rejoin the Horde?" ... Is it working?


• ... Catra is so tiny next to She-Ra, omg.


• "This is what you left me for? Dress-up games and a lightshow?" OH CATRA IS SO MAD. SO MAD.


• ... Bow, why are you riding on Mermista's back.


• LOOK AT MERMISTA BLUSHING WHEN SHE-RA THANKS HER, THAT'S SO CUTE.


• Are they playing flaming boat chicken?!


• "ADVENTURE!"


• SHE DID IT, SHE'S SO COOL!


• Oh shit, Scorpia with the traditional slicked-back lesbian haircut. I WANT THAT. I WANT THAT ON MY ME.


• CATRA WATCHING ADORA GET HUGGED IS SO SAAAAAAAD.


• "DON'T set it on fire."
  "No promises."


• "Plus your friend can turn into a like eight foot woman with a sword and I want her on my side." MERMISTA SPEAKING THE TRUTH THERE, DON'T WE ALL.


• Bow and Sea Hawk singing a shanty about friendship. OF COURSE.
