She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is an animated TV series that aired on Netflix. It is a reboot of the 1985 show "She-Ra: Princess of Power".

==Plot==

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power follows the character Adora, an orphan who was raised to be a soldier in the evil Horde by her mother figure and superior officer, Shadow Weaver. At the beginning of the series, she is shown to be an extremely competent and loyal soldier who is on the verge of being promoted to Force Captain, a respectable position within the Horde. However, she feels some conflict about this, because her best friend, Catra, will not be able to stay with her if she rises within the ranks of the Horde.

Upon finding out about Adora's promotion, Catra is at first upset, but she congratulates Adora nonetheless. Catra claims that she doesn't care about promotions or things like that, and just wants to get out of the Fright Zone and see the world. The two of them decide to "borrow" a skiff (a hoverboard-like device) from the Horde, and take what they intend to be a short joyride outside of the Fright Zone. The two of them end up right outside the Whispering Woods, a place from which no Horde soldiers have ever emerged alive. Catra, daringly, drives the skiff into the woods; however, Adora falls from the skiff and lands near a mysterious sword that seems to call her name. When she touches it, she receives a vision, then passes out and is found by Catra, who takes her back to the Fright Zone.

Meanwhile, Princess Glimmer of Bright Moon argues with her mother, Queen Angella, who is also the leader of the Rebellion. She gets grounded by her mother and sneaks out with her friend Bow, searching for technology he discovered that might be valuable to the Rebellion in the hopes that it will impress her mother.

Adora leaves Catra in the middle of the night to search for the sword. She is discovered by Glimmer and Bow. They scuffle over the sword and Adora is captured by them. While in the custody of Bow and Glimmer, Adora sees the atrocities that the Horde has committed against innocent people, and realizes that she cannot return to them. Furthermore, she discovers that with the sword, she can transform into She-Ra, the Princess of Power. Although Catra is sent on a mission to retrieve Adora, the mission fails, and Catra becomes angry at Adora for refusing to return home.

Glimmer and Bow arrive at Bright Moon, which is the palace of Queen Angella, Glimmer's mother and the leader of the rebellion. Glimmer plans to introduce Adora to Bright Moon by introducing her in her She-Ra form rather than as a Horde soldier, but Adora finds herself unable to transform. She flees into the woods, where she meets an old woman named Razz who tells her about the previous She-Ra, Mara, and shows her a ruin that belonged to the First Ones, the original settlers of the planet Etheria. In the form of She-Ra, Adora returns to Bright Moon and pledges her allegiance to the Rebellion in front of Queen Angella and her court.

Adora and her friends undertake a relief mission to the besieged Kingdom of Plumeria, bringing food and supplies to the people. The kingdom, which depends on its plant population, is dying due to a blight that Adora suspects was caused by the Horde. Princess Perfuma of Plumeria begs She-Ra to heal their land; however, Adora has no idea how to do that. Instead, she, Glimmer, and Bow take on the attacking Horde troops and destroy the machine that was poisoning the plant life of Plumeria.

After returning to Bright Moon, Glimmer decides to attempt an alliance with Princess Mermista of Salineas, because her power over water and the Sea Gate in her kingdom would be a huge advantage for the rebellion. They need a sea captain and a boat to take them to Salineas, so Adora challenges the over-confident Captain Sea Hawk to an arm-wrestling match and wins free passage. But when they arrive at Salineas, the Sea Gate is crumbling and Mermista is unwilling to forge an alliance. Adora attempts to use her powers as She-Ra to restore the gate, but just as she is succeeding, the Horde attacks--led by none other than Catra and another Force Captain, Scorpia. With Adora unable to fight while she is trying to repair the gate, Glimmer, Bow, Mermista and Sea Hawk all help to defeat the Horde and the gate is restored.

Glimmer and Bow notice how stressed Adora is and how frequently she's been suffering from nightmares about Shadow Weaver, and they decide to go on a relaxing vacation to Mystacor, a magical land that has been kept safe from the Horde by Glimmer's aunt, the sorceress Castaspella. Unknown to Glimmer and Bow, Shadow Weaver has actually sent shadowy creatures after Adora, and Adora ends up even more terrified than before by the illusions that Shadow Weaver creates to scare her away from the Rebellion. When Castaspella performs the ritual that protects Mystacor from invasion, Shadow Weaver tries to ruin it, but Adora defeats Shadow Weaver and saves Mystacor.
