The romantic relationship between Adora (Aimee Carrera) and Catra (AJ Michalka) is a testament to the tenacity of She-Ra creator Noelle Stevenson and the shifting mindsets surrounding LGBTQ+ representation. The lack of LGBTQ+ representation in kids media was so severe that Korra and Asami holding hands in the series finale of The Legend of Korra felt revolutionary. That being said, it also includes some stand-out LGBTQ+ rep that would have never been included in a cartoon when I was that age (and trust me, I watched a lot of TV as a kid).
Yes, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a Netflix reboot of the '80s He-Man spinoff intended for a target audience of kids 8-14.
