a cinematic contrast or inspiration for a vivheart romeo and juliet au… you decide
“Two households, both alike in dignity” even fits when you consider these would be houses of Pym and Stark and neither Hank or Tony have much dignity left at this point.
So I know this is probably common knowledge but it never really registered to me til I rewatched this episode; Entrapta’s height. We usually see her elevated by her hair or zoomed in or sitting down to where we dont see her full figure, but then watching this episode it hit me:
ENTRAPTA IS SO TINY. Glimmer is too but we see her full stature all the time so it doesnt faze me. But seeing that Entrapta is just as tall as Glimmer is the CUTEST THING. I love her.
I’m getting disappointed with Viv x Riri shippers biphobic comments.I know wlw representation is important and that kiss from Champions was huge but if Eve Ewing or Jim Zub’s sets her up with a boy doesn’t make Riri less queer. Her story has her flirting with Azari and being attracted to Xavier King and Viv at the same time. There’s hints of Riri being bi and I don’t wish the fandom to erase that.
In a roleswap Catra would honestly really be enthusiastic as a hero … for completely nonmoral reasons.
Catra’s disdain for princesses seems to come from cynicism and pride of being too smart to fall for the fear-mongering propaganda.
If an artifact gave her awesome power and loyal admirers, the right context and a receptive emotional state would cause her to leave (most of) that disdain at the door.
Catra’s main motivators are a desire for validation, and power so no one can hurt her.
She’d see powers granted to her and the Princess Alliance as tools of revenge to be wielded against all in the Horde who ever wronged her. Which would definitely cause a lot of friction with Glimmer and Angela.
Her reunion with Adora would have her going “join me Adora and we can rule …together!”
And likely end with “You never believed in me! You’re jealous! You want me to just be your loyal sidekick!”
(Also , since Shadow Weaver probably wouldn’t send out a search party to get Catra, their reunion would be later on than it was in the show.)
The sad thing is she would be more receptive to Light Hope’s manipulations than Adora, at first finding herself agreeing with Light Hope about her friends holding her back.
I don’t know why Scorpia would end up working with Adora; but I lean towards Shadow Weaver callously treating Scorpia as a replacement goldfish in an attempt to cheer Adora up about Catra’s defection.
They would be so much worse at being evil together than Catra and Scorpia. It would be adorably wholesome.
Princess Prom would be less eventful and calmer at least, with Adora simply using it to gather intelligence rather than staging a terrorist attack… If she can manage to give an inspirational speech to convince Scorpia to attend which I’m honestly not sure she could pull off.
Notice I didn’t necessarily Catra would get the sword in this AU. I could just as easily see her getting some other First One Tech that allowes her to turn into a magical feline monster like in the original series. Bonus points if it turns out to have been used by a sidekick of one of the past She-Ra’s, for added insult.
Also, I like the idea of her oddly enjoying being a corrupting influence on Perfuma
