Warning: This article contains spoilers about season 4 of NetflixsShe-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
Thats a lot to process.
Season 4ofShe-Ra and the Princesses of Powerdid not disappoint, but did leave us with a lot of questions.
Netflix
Heres what she had to say in response to all our burning questions.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, first of all, how could you break up Catra and Scorpia like that?
!NOELLE STEVENSON:Friendship is not just something that you give to someone else.
Netflix
Its something that someone has to reciprocate to you.
I think her journey is figuring out how to love herself and how to let other people love her.
I dont think the original Double Trouble ever appears in the show itself.
They were just a toy design.
But I love shapeshifters and I always have.
Every story that I do has some kind of presence from a shapeshifter.
But Double Trouble is like, Let me make my own version of the perfect princess.
Shes got butterfly wings, shes adorable.
Its almost like Doubles Troubles parody princess character, which the princesses totally fall for.
Its just so much fun because Double Trouble breaks all the rules of both sides.
They really arent bound by the conventions that the other characters are bound by.
Double Troubles chaos leads to your noir episode.
We knew we wanted to do sort of a spy intrigue episode.
At first, it was a little bit more straightforward, a little bit more of a war story.
She really hasnt ever shown any remorse for anything shes done.
And Shadow Weaver is always coming up with a new plan.
Shes always figuring out how she can work every situation to her advantage.
And I think with Glimmer moving into this position as Queen, Shadow Weaver sees her chance.
Did you always plan on giving Kyle a backstory episode?Kyle started just purely as a joke.
So it was a little bit poking fun at that trope.
Like, in any other story, Kyle would be the one who finds the sword.
I think it is satisfying seeing Kyle stand up for himself.
But more important than that, stand up for his friends.
But its also sort of Bows story.
Hes someone who always wants to see the good in everybody.
He always wants to believe that everything will be okay.
But in this episode, we see that thats kind of starting to slip for him.
Adora and Glimmer are drifting apart from each other and hes stuck in the middle.
This episode is one-half boisterous, pirate musical and one-half heartbreaking.
That creates this disconnect between the joyful world that Seahawk and Bow and Perfuma are singing about.
But also this season, we see that Light Hope is not just the computer, she has feelings.
She loves Mara and she doesnt want to hurt her.
She doesnt want to hurt She-Ra, but she has to.
This is her job, this is her programming.
This is the only thing that shes supposed to do.
So was Scorpia connecting to her Runestone the last thing standing in Light Hopes way of completing her task?
Light Hope has essentially been handcuffed.
She cant use her full capabilities because of what Mara did.
There were more pieces out of place than just the Black Garnet.
Lets get to the big reveal: Glimmers dad, Micah, is still alive?!
When did you make that decision?I definitely have the biggest plot points kind of already set.
We always know on a large scale what were working towards.
But within that, I make a run at like let the characters be organic as much as possible.
So hes someone whos very similar to Glimmer in a lot of ways.
And its so close.
So yeah, I think were all kind of rooting for that reunion to happen at some point.
But the question is when or if it will happen.
All of the characters I think have just been hurled into uncharted waters at this point.
Adora doesnt have She-Ra to rely on, she doesnt have what she thought was her destiny to follow.
The only thing she knows is that she just has to do something.
Glimmer doesnt have access to her magic anymore.
But the question is kind of, what is she going to do next?
Is she going to do what shes always done and try and work her way up?
Is she going to just try and find a way to survive?
Hes not what I think Hordak led us to believe that he was with his story…
