• 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.

Bow, very enthusiastically: May good fortune speed you on your mission! Adam, suddenly looking very timid and uncomfortable: Well...thanks...

• • 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.

The Nostalgia Chick: "Fuck it, we're off to the pride parade!"

• • 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.
