She-Ra and the Princess of Power's final season opens its doors wide open, revealing a much more intricate universe

The Daily Dot

"No matter how often we’ve seen She-Ra pull off incredible feats in the past, or witnessed the grand spectacle of what we now know to be Horde Prime and his army of clones (of which Hordak was one), She-Ra has always been grounded in its characters," says Michelle Jaworski. "We care about the fate of Etheria because we’ve gotten to know these characters since the show premiered in 2018—and the fate of Etheria matters to those characters. In season 5, She-Ra is paying off that investment with rich and organic storytelling even as what feels like the end of the world is approaching that still throws some shocks and twists along the way."'

• She-Ra manages to dodge predictability with enough twists and new developments to end this chapter on a still-fresh note
• She-Ra and the Princess of Power creator Noelle Stevenson on the final season: “This story really is about free will, and choice versus destiny,” Stevenson tells Polygon. “How subverting that Chosen One destiny is about subverting what the expectations are for you, the destiny that seems inevitable, and how the Chosen One narrative is inherently flawed — it’s inherently flawed in the way the characters relate to it.”
