the show stands on its own even though it's a legacy production. noelle didn't
want to be held back by fear of changing too much. she was prepared for
negative backlash, but hopes that if legacy fans give the new show a try, they'll
recognize the core spirit of the show

noelle sometimes gets e-mails from young kids who love her work (because they
don't have twitter), as well as their parents, and it's super important and cute and
good

"it's important to have a lightness... and freedom to [what we make] so we're not
just dumping sadness and suffering on our audiences."

noelle doesn't know what discord or tik tok are

"[netossa and spinerella] are a couple... slightly older. they have their own life
outside what these teenagers are doing, and the teenagers don't understand it
because they're doing their own thing. they have a lovely house somewhere... but
the teens are not as perceptive."

"[netossa and spinerella] have a stability to them [while] our younger characters
are often so messy and melodramatic and their feelings run wild, but these two..
their presence is reliable."

in the original netossa doesn't have powers, she just has nets that she throws on
people

"[adoral is a little bit of a glutton for punishment in some ways... that's HER. she's
kinda ready to get her butt kicked, yknow? she's like, i'm the only one who's
gonna get hurt right now.

"adora had her world view challenged in 1.11 in a way that she never had. the
idea that adora always thought she was doing the right thing for catra, and
realizing that catra actually had resentment, i think that rattled her hard, to her
core

"and so, adora's emotional state and mental-well being is tied to how powerful
she is as she-ra. as soon as she starts letting her insecurities take over, she ra gets
less powerful, especially when she's alone

"she is so distracted that she's kinda taken out by this fight with catra."

"[adora's] looking to be punished in some way."

"adora's fatal flaw [is] taking agency... to try to protect [catra specifically, but also
everyone]. she is self-sacrifical!... but it shows a lack of faith."
gee i wonder if sam likes catra @heyadorah 18m
"[adora] really wants to take every single bullet."

the writers planned the 'stronger together idea for cultural relevancy

"production began in earnest in 2016. this was not an accident. it's an escapist
fantasy... .but it still comes out... we're putting our own feelings into almost every
single character in so many ways. it's not an allegory... it's our feelings and
struggles being expressed."

noelle has always had a big interest in villains, and related to them very much.
BUT she realized, making this show "that was the fantasy, the idea of the
complicated but sympathetic" isn't close to "real world villains who lack empathy
when they hurt people and take away rights"
5
gee i wonder if sam likes catra @heyadorah 12m
"even hordak is a fantasy, like, what if these were the villains that we faced, these
complicated shades-of-grey... that's the escapist version. the pain of a real-world
person is... how could you THINK that? how could you DO that? and there's not
really an answer

"we are gonna have massive status quo shifts, like... you guys have no idea"

"i am a gay woman, engaged to a woman. i was really passionate about... in the
show's DNA, [providing a home to the lgbt+ community."

"the rainbow iconography is no accident.

"it's even more than the ships, the pairings... here is a WORLD, where queer
themes are so interwoven into the fabric of the show that they exist on every
level, even if they're not made explicit. obviously there are still barriers, but these
themes... can't be removed."

gee i wonder if sam likes catra @heyadorah 3m
when noelle pitched the rainbow thing at the end of the battle, an exec was like,
"what's the point?" and noelle said, deadpan, "it's the gay agenda"
6
gee i wonder if sam likes catra @heyadorah 3m
"this isn't a secret.. or something i'm ashamed of. it's a big part of what the show
is. it's bigger than ships. it's about showing a world where this is just a part of
normal life."

"there are so many things, even in the next episode drop, that are gonna change
the whole stakes of the show."
