Added 2022-04-05 22:59:49 +0000 UTCEnjoy! Now I will work on AOT 4x14!

I agree and I do feel she should have convinced Catra more in the beginning if I was her I would’ve forced her like bitch we do everything together wether you like it or not

2022-12-27 13:04:38 +0000 UTCThe one part of Double Trouble's takedown of Catra that I think was wrong was their conclusion. At least two of the forms they used, and arguably a third, Catra did not "drive away". Shadow Weaver was absolutely the guilty party in their dynamic. Catra did not "drive [her] away", she just _survived_ her. Adora didn't leave Catra, she left the Horde - and while she didn't work nearly as hard as I think she should have to bring Catra with her, it still wasn't about Catra. Hordak is arguable. He did seem to trust her by the end, and it was her lie about Entrapta that split them up, but that relationship was never stable anyway. There was always an imbalance of power between them, and they were at best allies of convenience, never 'friends'. The only one Catra did unambiguously drive away was Scorpia - which is why Double Trouble ended with her. And honestly, I don't think Double Trouble was exactly *wrong* so much as they deliberately put the worst possible spin on it.

2022-10-16 21:43:43 +0000 UTCI've been so excited to see your reactions to this episode. Your reactions are awesome :D I still get chills rewatching the scene where Adora is trying to stop the sword being raised. The music score that plays during that whole scene is amazing! I can't wait to see your reactions to season 5.
Alex Evans
2022-05-03 20:05:11 +0000 UTCLess actual plotting and more doing what comes naturally because she doesn't really know how to do something else. I think she's pretty much acting on auto-pilot at that moment.
Carabas
2022-05-03 17:25:04 +0000 UTCShe would have had a much better shot at self-preservation if she had kept quiet and snuck away before anybody noticed she was even there.
Carabas
2022-05-03 17:15:14 +0000 UTCWhen will we get season 5 reactions?
Sophia
2022-04-13 21:11:01 +0000 UTCJust rewatching and I have to appreciate Kenny's absolutely atrocious puns. Well done!
fr0st
2022-04-12 05:24:35 +0000 UTCawesome reaction as always!
ZackTh3Ripp3r
2022-04-09 10:29:40 +0000 UTC“ARE THEY GONNA LEAVE US THERE?!” Lol AOT has scarred you guys😂
Melanie Meadows
2022-04-09 02:09:42 +0000 UTCOh yeah for me in seasons 3 and 4 is when you really start to notice the parallels and similarities between Hordak and Catra. Then in season 5 we get the full truth of Hordak's past and the fact he's got his own shadow weaver who is somehow even worse than shadow weaver.
TrixieTurner
2022-04-08 19:38:28 +0000 UTCI've never thought of him as another catra, but that's such an interesting take considering how similar catra and glimmer's stories are as well. I guess they all have the desire to prove themselves in common
Grace F
2022-04-08 19:03:54 +0000 UTCIt's not even that cause hordak has never been physically intimidating. Its the realization that what Hordak described isn't the truth and hes just someone else's Catra.
TrixieTurner
2022-04-08 18:19:46 +0000 UTCWe saw Catra kick Hordak's butt twice. New Big Bad had to make him look like a joke to have a chance of being intimidating.
J. Jenny Jameson
2022-04-08 18:13:06 +0000 UTCMan that ending scene with Hordak and Horde Prime gets me everytime. Feels bad man.
TrixieTurner
2022-04-08 15:27:51 +0000 UTCIm not sure it's fully explained but from context and a few lines i believe when they say the planet is a weapon I think its less of a deathstar more of a magical planet sized atomic bomb, that if fully activated and used could destroy entire galaxies.
Last Hale
2022-04-08 06:25:09 +0000 UTCDT reading Catra FOR FILTH is one of my favorite overall She-ra moments. Their delivery was spectacular to say the least!
Liz
2022-04-08 01:42:30 +0000 UTCjust gonna mention although she-ra is gone the princesses still have powers, just only within Etherias atmosphere, that's why glimmer had no powers on prime's ship
Migli
2022-04-08 01:42:22 +0000 UTCSome of the best episodes are in season 5!! Can't wait to watch you guys experience it for the first time!!!
Vianella Burns
2022-04-07 20:52:38 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Love you guys!
XNobodyx
2022-04-07 19:33:30 +0000 UTCYeah and no, it’s a trailer so it gives snippets but not enough to actually spoil the story in my opinion but I know some people just avoid trailers completely
Daniel De Izaguirre
2022-04-07 17:19:31 +0000 UTCI think it shows a bit of spoiler... don't you think?
Valentina M
2022-04-07 17:17:56 +0000 UTCNow we're in the End Game
Ryan
2022-04-07 04:00:20 +0000 UTCso i know it aint on the list but i think you guys should eventually get around to "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" it is very good only has 2 dub seasons rn but room for about 4-6 more seasons and the light novel the anime is based on is still being written and is EXTREMELY successful in Japan so probably wont stop anytime soon, if you choose to watch please react to it, i binged all 48 current episodes in like 18 or 19 hours plus sleep between S1E9 and S1E10 no other brakes except AoT Pt 2 Finale
RandomRandomly
2022-04-07 01:31:27 +0000 UTCUpon rewatch I found that the only way I could describe my feelings about season 4 Catra was through making an AMV (no season 5 spoilers, I promise): https://youtu.be/R0H420l3woc
J. Jenny Jameson
2022-04-07 01:26:37 +0000 UTCIs Catra plotting yet again to rise in power under a new structure? Or is she doing the only thing that will protect Glimmer and Etheria, if only for the moment? I'll bet even she isn't sure what her true motive is.
Tabatha Cat
2022-04-07 00:37:11 +0000 UTCThe source of my Glimmer-based frustration is this; Catra set off the portal with the WORST of intentions, while Glimmer made one bad decision with the BEST of intentions & yet somehow Glimmer gets more hate. Trauma is trauma guys, we NEVER play "who's trauma is worse ?" it's a terrible thing to do. Both these characters have severe abandonment issues. Different pathologies for sure but loss is the central trauma to both these poor young women.
John Alexander
2022-04-06 23:24:51 +0000 UTCoh honey, 20 is a BABY
John Alexander
2022-04-06 23:04:24 +0000 UTCi think there was some talk about a movie, if i recal correctly, but even this project was shut down. sooooo i wouldn´t give to much hope about these rumors
Jonas Arp
2022-04-06 22:37:02 +0000 UTCBtw just putting it out there but Glimmer is around 20 during season 4/5, she's technically not a child (source: ND stevenson said that 3 years had passed from the beginning to season 4/5)
Néo
2022-04-06 22:34:57 +0000 UTCAgreed. Or if possible, try to wait to around episode 10 or so to watch it. Although it can be difficult to avoid; Netflix sometimes just automatically plays it when looking through season 5.
Tabatha Cat
2022-04-06 22:30:02 +0000 UTCOk so I can't help but feel that sometimes when people approach a reading of Glimmer in this season they tend to forget some really important stuff. I could go all the way back to season one but let's just focus on this season. So she: lost her mum, became Queen, became leader of a rebellion, is still a child AND she was manipulated for weeks (possibly months) by not one but TWO of the greatest manipulators of all-time (DT & SW). So yes, she made the wrong decision but I think it's folly to expect THIS character, after everything she's been through, to make the right decision.
John Alexander
2022-04-06 21:17:50 +0000 UTCEveryone keeps talking about watching the trailer before starting season 5 and I’m seriously hoping you guys don’t. The trailer is amazing and I would love for you to watch it after the show. In my opinion at least, I think it gives away a little too much info towards the end and would much prefer to watch you guys go in and react completely blind like you have thus far.
Amanda Scott
2022-04-06 21:06:59 +0000 UTCThere’s a trailer for season 5 that uses an acoustic version of the theme song done by Catra’s voice actress! It would be so cool if you reacted to it!
Farah mos
2022-04-06 20:24:40 +0000 UTCAlso consider this an appreciation post for Catra absolutely annihilating Hordak. He thought he had the upper hand, had her on the run, and she turned it around and destroyed him in about two seconds.
emelsi
2022-04-06 19:47:06 +0000 UTCPlease react to season 5 trailer of SheRa
Daniel De Izaguirre
2022-04-06 18:57:03 +0000 UTCI took it to mean that only She-Ra could survive being the one that all the power gets channeled through
calcifer
2022-04-06 16:55:09 +0000 UTCIf season 6 would air this May, we would already have a trailer.
Elana
2022-04-06 15:08:21 +0000 UTCI looked around a little, sadly seems that you are right.
Christoph Toifl
2022-04-06 15:04:30 +0000 UTCThere is no season 6, that info only comes from clickbaity unreliable articles
cryptid
2022-04-06 14:49:50 +0000 UTCI think they plan to go right to Arcane and then back to Shera for S6?
Belle M
2022-04-06 14:47:08 +0000 UTCI only found claims that it is confirmed, but nothing from Netflix itself. I really hope it is true ...
Christoph Toifl
2022-04-06 14:32:54 +0000 UTCIt's officially confirmed?
pineapplegreg
2022-04-06 14:23:43 +0000 UTCWhen you say you will watch Arcane after Shera, da you mean after S05 or after S06 which will air on 15th of May. After S06 would mean about half a year ...
Christoph Toifl
2022-04-06 14:16:24 +0000 UTCI hope you will react to the Trailer of S5
Mimic
2022-04-06 13:37:37 +0000 UTCCatra 100% set up dropping that thing on Hordak. You can see her eye it when she gets in the room, she jumps up so he'll shoot out the support, and she kicks him over to be directly underneath it. Who are the targets of the Heart of Etheria? Light Hope probably has a 1000-year-old list of primary and secondary targets she's programmed to hit no matter what's happened in the intervening centuries. I'm so excited to be here! I have to watch this again.
Stephen Ray
2022-04-06 12:41:34 +0000 UTCi can't wait to see your reactions to Catra in the 5th season :D or the 5th season in general. you'll be blown away
Maubeerbluffin
2022-04-06 11:59:19 +0000 UTCI'm the other way around: I changed my mind for them to NOT watch it prior to watching the season. It may not give away the big stuff, but Kenny and Montana do a lot of "pause and speculate". That's just part of what they bring to the show. That puts them in a different position that where most of us were as fans watching it individually. Watching the trailer will still affect their reacts just from knowing certain markers that have to be hit, and some avenues of speculation will become cut off because of something they saw in the trailer. For what they bring to the table, I think watching blind works better for their style.
JHB
2022-04-06 09:54:40 +0000 UTCDefinitely. The show has enough extra material (the trailer, clips from the 80s show for comparison, the Swift Wind shorts) to support having an extra watch episode to cap off the series.
JHB
2022-04-06 09:45:38 +0000 UTC"we're gonna win in the end, we must be brave, we must be strong" yeah i'd say so
Mathies
2022-04-06 08:34:02 +0000 UTCI love this. There’s soooo much to come and all I’ll say is… It’s a crazy, fun, and just… intense next season
Mo
2022-04-06 07:40:30 +0000 UTCI just love this episode. It has such emotional impact on the show and the development of the characters :D can't wait to see your reaction to the last season :3
Haorii
2022-04-06 07:28:36 +0000 UTCMy original take on the heart of the etheria is that it would take the power from the princesses to fire the weapon but it was also said that only Shera would survive the heart of etheria as in the princesses would die from the firing of the weapon
Sophia V.
2022-04-06 04:49:50 +0000 UTCKenny, at the end: "It's a happy ending type show." The theme song, for the last 39 episodes:
emelsi
2022-04-06 04:18:08 +0000 UTCAlso I know you’ll get a lot of comments about the opening credits changing, but there are actually only a handful of episodes to pay attention to. Episodes 1, 6, 7, 8, and 11. Obviously still a lot more than previous seasons, but they don’t change every episode.
Jenny D
2022-04-06 03:54:58 +0000 UTCThe part you're referring to they have mentioned/considered a couple times now, including in this reaction, so I say go ahead and watch it. Before this reaction I was a little on the fence, but mostly leaning towards them watching it (maybe stopping it before the last few seconds) but I figured if they talked about it then there's really no reason not to. I only just watched the trailer for the first time like a month ago after seeing all the buzz around it, and honestly I'm obsessed! In fact I think I’m gonna go watch it again right now.
Jenny D
2022-04-06 03:50:23 +0000 UTCPlease tell me I'm not the only one hoping you watch the trailer for season 5 before the actual season, just as a little bonus for patreon
Cassie
2022-04-06 03:48:27 +0000 UTCI have lost count of how many times I've rewatched season 5 in anticipation of your reactions and now we're finally here! Letts go!
Jenny D
2022-04-06 03:46:47 +0000 UTCWe’re in the endgame now guys.
Angsty.Lesbian.Cat
2022-04-06 03:37:41 +0000 UTCYeah, I was like “wow, what’s with this role reversal all of a sudden?”
Angsty.Lesbian.Cat
2022-04-06 03:36:24 +0000 UTClmao they just straight up turn Swift Wind into glue. Can you imagine? Brutal
calcifer
2022-04-06 03:11:42 +0000 UTCTime for Season 5: Religious Trauma™
calcifer
2022-04-06 03:10:48 +0000 UTCAdora breaking the sword will forever be one of my favorite moments in this whole show. Maybe my favorite moment from seasons 1-4, after her DECKING catra in the S3 finale. S5 is gonna be a ride though. Can’t wait for y’all to watch it!
Mariana J
2022-04-06 03:08:00 +0000 UTCI was really surprised what they did to Swift Wind to repair the sword in season 5. Not quite as shocking as the crossover episode with Batman, though.
SweetCandle
2022-04-06 02:57:54 +0000 UTCBroken sword + glue = She-Ra
SweetCandle
2022-04-06 02:55:53 +0000 UTCJust guessing, but I think the princesses are merely just weakened/fatigued from being drained by the Heart. Glimmer can't use her powers probably 'cuz of being out in space and too far from Etheria (and her runestone). The season 5 trailer: I initially figured y'all should skip it ... but after some thought I reconsidered. I get those saying there's some spoilers.. however, in the grand scheme of things? If there's a spoiler, it's an extremely mild one, and nothing that couldn't already be easily guessed at (heck if neither Kenny nor Montana theorize about it at the end of episode one or especially episode two of S5, I'll be surprised). The trailer was crafted in such a way that the bigger, much more relevant surprises are not given away, IMHO. So yeah, I figure it's worth watching. Just some two cents~
Sero
2022-04-06 02:33:23 +0000 UTCYea. If it was pure self preservation I think she had a legit chance (at least in her mind) of hiding out on the ship til she could escape or just convincing horde prime she's a reliable asset who won't tell anyone of this. She didn't have to speak up when glimmer and the planet were at risk but she did.
Suplee215
2022-04-06 02:27:29 +0000 UTCYes, please react to the s5 trailer! I’d love to see what y’all think will happen based on the trailer.
Christabel Herron
2022-04-06 02:23:27 +0000 UTCI mean, the way I see it, catra only said that to prime to protect glimmer. And Glimmer could not use the powers because she is not in Etheria. Great reaction! I'M SO EXCITED FOR SEASON 5 OMGGGG
bruna mendes
2022-04-06 02:18:32 +0000 UTCThat’s fair, I could see both being valid, even if the decision to help Glimmer/Etheria was only a subconscious action on Catra’s part. It wasn’t the primary motivator, but still could’ve played a part nonetheless.
Chelly
2022-04-06 02:09:56 +0000 UTCyas season 5 LETTS GOOOOOOOOO
myownzinger
2022-04-06 02:04:41 +0000 UTCMight be a cop out but I'm going with it being a mix of both. She isn't fully willing or even conscious of how much this decision is an effort to save the planet and glimmer but I do think it played a factor.
Suplee215
2022-04-06 02:00:25 +0000 UTCI agree with Lucas on this, I think Catra did have self-preservation in mind. Yes she did previously tell Glimmer to just finish her off before, but at that point she felt like she had absolutely no hope. The second she saw a chance with Horde Prime she tried to take it. This is further supported by another scene in season 5, but I won’t go into that for obvious spoiler reasons.
Chelly
2022-04-06 01:49:54 +0000 UTCSeason 5, here we come! LET'S GO!!!
Erin Haury
2022-04-06 01:39:01 +0000 UTCDefinitely react to the trailer, but wait until after finishing the show.
Merfhew
2022-04-06 01:38:47 +0000 UTCDouble Trouble was BRUTAL to Catra but she needed to hear it. I cant wait for you guys to see s5.
blitzø
2022-04-06 01:35:35 +0000 UTCAlso, bear in mind at this point Catra has literally nobody left on her side. She's banking on survival. As long as the planet is available as a weapon, she can be useful to Prime. If Prime killed Glimmer and destroyed the planet, she can't get into his organisation and be useful and go up the ranks as she planned. When you have zero options, you want to keep all potential options open, hence she steps in to stop Glimmer being killed at this point, is my understanding.
fr0st
2022-04-06 01:23:33 +0000 UTCThank you for listening to us when we asked for the double drop for the finale, Kenny! Y'all are the best! If you manage to do a quick reaction to the trailer for funsies and theorizing, it might be fun before starting the new season, or just a small patreon only perk since it wouldn't be a full length video anyway.
fr0st
2022-04-06 01:21:22 +0000 UTCI think that becomes clearer later. For now, we only see Glimmer trying to use her powers so far so it's a reasonable assumption that princess powers are basically gone.
fr0st
2022-04-06 01:18:16 +0000 UTCI disagree there because I'm not positive Catra wanted to survive. A few minutes ago she was telling Glimmer to end her and she was ending everything last season. Maybe self preservation kicked in when faced with someone like horde prime but that's a hard sell for me
Suplee215
2022-04-06 01:17:04 +0000 UTCin case it's still unclear, they didn't destroy all princess powers, it's just that they are connected to the planet itself so Glimmer is unable to use them since she's in space/not on planet.
lisadeann
2022-04-06 01:09:04 +0000 UTCSeason 4 finale is when I realise that shera and halo actually share a lot of plot threads. Ended up being a great way to convince some friends to try it "it's halo with princesses!!!"
Connla Lyons
2022-04-06 00:40:11 +0000 UTCThe Catra's not a villain, she's misunderstood opinions have swapped since season 1.
Wildwolfrider
2022-04-06 00:34:35 +0000 UTCYaass season 5!!! Please react to the alt version of the intro song!! ITS LIT AF 🔥🔥🔥
Myrtenaster18
2022-04-06 00:30:02 +0000 UTCI'm literally cryingggg this finale is so powerful, especially on a second watch. season 5 is going to be so good, and I'm so sad but excited that we're so close to the end 😭
hex
2022-04-06 00:25:10 +0000 UTCI’m sure people have already mentioned this, but PLEASE react to the season 5 trailer! It’s so cool!
Melanie Meadows
2022-04-06 00:22:07 +0000 UTC(Again with the sound design) when Adora breaks the sword chefs kiss 😘 Adora's hair down looks beautiful
Catradora fan
2022-04-06 00:21:22 +0000 UTCCan't believe we've made it, I was so excited to see your reaction to this episode and it didn't disappoint! You're going to LOVE season 5, I know it!
Leighton Williams
2022-04-06 00:16:13 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite pieces of music in this episode ("Moment of Truth", which we also heard in season 3), it tends to give me chills ♥
Sero
2022-04-06 00:14:54 +0000 UTCHeck ya! So glad and thankful you got this up so fast! And onto season 5! I am so excited, you are gonna love it so much!
Jaron E Ehlers
2022-04-06 00:14:03 +0000 UTCahhhh I might just die of excitement waiting for your reaction to season 5
Benji Gonzalez
2022-04-06 00:05:40 +0000 UTCThis series starts so low key and just wonderfully raises stakes as it rolls on.
William Timmins
2022-04-06 00:00:16 +0000 UTCShe really did. But also, I firmly believe she was only thinking about herself at that moment. Pure survival instincts.
Lucas Barros
2022-04-05 23:43:51 +0000 UTCAlso in addition to saving Glimmer, Horde Prime said he was going to wipe out the entire planet starting with Glimmer. So Catra saved all of it by giving up that info.
Suplee215
2022-04-05 23:42:14 +0000 UTCI'm so excited for season five
Visenna
2022-04-05 23:40:04 +0000 UTCI love this finale. She-Ra destroying the sword is such a great moment. Catra and Glimmer both hitting their own respective rock bottoms by the end of the season after undergoing parallel arcs is just really great character writing. And now we’re finally introduced to the REAL big bad leading into the final season. Great reaction as usual and I’m excited to hear your thoughts on everything that happens next 😁
