Catra (She-Ra and the Princesses of power) WIP 1
The last time I did a piece of a character from She-Ra I wasn’t’ doing these blog posts so I haven’t talk about the show. Mostly because I stopped watching after season one. I didn’t dislike it by any means, but it didn’t enthrall me. Don’t know exactly why it dint click for me but I know that one thing at least is the visual style of the show. It’s just too soft for me, too clean. I get that it probably helps for animation but I wonder what a Studio Bones version of the show would look like. It’s almost like the show wasn’t made for my specific visual and narrative tastes.
Bah, anyway. Of the characters in the show Catra was one of the ones that stood out to me as being genuinely interesting. She makes a conscious choice to walk a darker path and that’s just awesome to me. I know that the show is going to take her down some bullshit redemption arc but that’s where I want to leave her in my head. “I choose this path not because there’s comfort in it or love but because there is power here and I want it for myself.” That’s a character choice that always get punished in this kind of narrative but I don’t care.
