She-Ra: Princess of Power/YMMV

"Bow, very enthusiastically: May good fortune speed you on your mission! Adam, suddenly looking very timid and uncomfortable: Well...thanks..."
 * Ambiguously Gay: Bow. Come on... someone had to say it. Just look at him!
 * About the "ambiguously" part, right?
 * Maybe he's Camp Straight... or Camp Bi, considering the Ho Yay with Prince Adam.
 * ....And his rainbow owl and fabulous lady friends.
 * Wasn't he always described as Andora/She-Ra's "special friend" - presumably in a sexual sense. And his name could easily be an Incredibly Lame Pun on the word "beau" (as well as being a direct reference to him being The Archer).
 * Nope. While Bow flirted (with everyone), Adora's acknowledged sweetheart was the pirate Sea Hawk.
 * Anvilicious
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The epic opening theme music - "I am Sheee-raaaaa!"
 * Girl Show Ghetto: Interestingly avoided; most of the male audience who watched He-Man also watched She-Ra. But on the other hand girls didn't suddenly start liking She-Ra just because the main character was a girl. The toy line, however, didn't fare as well (see below).
 * Misaimed Marketing: Toys were advertised more like Barbie than for an ass-kicking heroine.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Horde Prime.
 * Ho Yay: Bow and Adam, every time they're together, but especially in the Five Episode Pilot. Of course, all things considered, this should come as a surprise to no one...
 * This scene was a great example.

"The Nostalgia Chick: "Fuck it, we're off to the pride parade!""
 * There's also the way they ride a horse together...with their hips a little too close for comfort. Then again, Adam also rides a horse this way with his sister.


 * Bow's costume is fairly camp, too.
 * Just a bit.
 * Les Yay: Fans like to think there's something beyond friendship between Netossa and Spinnerella, or that Glimmer's admiration of Adora/She-Ra has elements of Even the Girls Want Her.
 * Smurfette Breakout: The series was actually introduced with this in mind.
 * Tastes Like Diabetes: The And Knowing Is Half the Battle mascot "Loo-Kee", and the Twiggets. Any episode featuring them will almost certainly need to be followed by an insulin shot.
 * The Twiggets weren't so bad. Loo-Kee though could get on one's nerves.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: The transformation sequence is grand, especially for the time and budget Filmation had to work with.
