The Netflix series flipped the status quo by centering a lesbian love story, making huge strides for inclusivity on television
, which itself was based on a line of Mattel action figures. Set on the planet of Etheria,follows a band of magical princesses in their rebellion against the Evil Horde, a totalitarian sci-fi regime bent on global domination. Adora is an ex-Horde soldier who joins the rebellion after she gains the ability to transform into She-Ra, a superpowered Chosen One with glowing blue eyes, a mystical sword, and a very cool outfit.
While Stevenson’s reimagination of the world of Etheria pays tribute to its predecessor, it includes some key differences. The reboot transforms the musclebound, scantily-clad grownups of the original series into awkward teens in much more practical clothing. In addition to embracing a diversity of races, genders, and body types, thereboot fleshes out the characters and their backstories, giving them fully-fledged arcs and complicating the good/evil binary of the original.
“It’s a dynamic that I find really interesting: the attraction and the tension between the villain and the hero, especially when they know each other better than anyone. They love each other, but there’s something between them that cannot be overcome,” Stevenson says. Still, Stevenson, herself a gay woman, wanted young viewers to be able to see a queer relationship that wasn’t just incidental, but central to the plot of the entire series. “I’ve loved these stories my entire life, you know? I was a hugefan as a kid. But there weren’t a lot of characters that I felt personally represented by,” she says.
