Royals Who Actually Do Something: Difference between revisions

Line 449:

* ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'': Prince Adam is not an example of this trope. He-Man is a completely different person. Stop making stuff up.

** And [[She-Ra: Princess of Power|She-Ra]] is supposed to be Adam's sister? Don't make me laugh.

*** Adora and Glimmer would both like their services in the name of the Rebellion noted.

*** The Netflix ''[[She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]]'' has the rulers of several kingdoms form a practical Justice League of [[Badass Princess]]es.

** Luckily for Eternia, the 2002 version of King Randor successfully redeems his family. In addition to his diplomatic prowess, he is a highly capable swordfighter and former captain of the royal guard.

** Also in the 2002 version, Queen Marlana is no slouch herself, managing to hold her own against both Kobra Kahn and Tongue-Lashor in one episode. Not to mention being the [[Straight Man|voice of reason]] more than once to both Randor ''and'' Duncan.

* In ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]'', Queen Elyon thought life after her coronation would be all rest and relaxation, but after finding out she actually had to run the kingdom's affairs and deal with its problems, she began longing for the "princess" part of being queen. This all on top of her role as the [[MacGuffin Girl|Heart of Meridian]], giving her powers equal to those of the main heroines combined.

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', Royalty tends to be this more often than not, especially since the war with the Fire Nation made [[Idle Rich|being an idle royal]] a bad idea. Even the demure Princess Yue joins with the Moon spirit to save it. About the only royal who truly didn't fit this was the Earth Kingdom king, who was kept in the dark due to an [[Evil Chancellor]].
