''[[She-Ra: Princess of Power]]'' is the sister series to [[Filmation]]'s ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]''. It tells the story of Adora, the twin sister of Prince Adam of Eternia (He-Man, himself), who was kidnapped as an infant to the planet Etheria, and later is given the power to become She-Ra in order to save the planet from its tyrannical ruler Hordak, who is a member of the galaxy-spanning Horde.
Line 9:
 
She-Ra was made specifically to appeal to girls, which explains the large number of mentally ''and'' physically strong female characters, like Adora, Glimmer, and Madame Razz -- and quite a number of female villains like [[Wicked Witch|Shadow Weaver]], [[Scary Scorpions|Scorpia]] and [[Dark Action Girl|Catra]]. The male characters, like [[The Archer]] Bow, were usually the ones portrayed as getting captured or needing help. Furthermore, whenever He-Man paid a visit to his sister (both in crossovers and the [[Five Episode Pilot]] Movie), he generally required her help in some way. And in the pilot movie, she first captured him, then saved him.
 
[[Continuity Reboot|Rebooted]] in 2018 as ''[[She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]]''.

Line 79 ⟶ 81:
* [[An Ice Person]]: Frosta
* [[The Imp]]: Imp, of course.
* [[Inept Mage]]: Madame Razz
* [[Knockout Gas]]: Villain Hordak sprays one of the heroes with some sleep gas from his [[Swiss Army Appendage|Swiss Army Hand]]. The hero gets off an exclamation and keels over. Hordak then comments that he's going to have to have a word with his scientists; the victim shouldn't have had time to say anything before succumbing.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert|Ladylike Pervert]]: Queen Castaspella loves to oggleogle good-looking males (discreetly, that is). Adora shows a bit of a Big Sister Complex when she catches her friend trying that on her twin brother Adam.
* [[Lady of War]]: She-Ra.
* [[La Résistance]]: She-Ra leads "The Great Rebellion" against Hordak's forces.
Line 130 ⟶ 133:
* [[Swiss Army Tears]]: Hordak was disappearing to death by the doomberry pie Skeletor gave him, but he was saved by She-Ra's tears in the episode "My Friend, The Enemy."
* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: Hordak's arm
** Most likely from his [[Shapeshifting]] powers, since he himself can also morph into a rocketshiprocket ship with a nose cannon. He also demonstrated morphing his entire lower body into a [[This Is a Drill|large drill]] and burrowing to escape (after morphing both of his hands into suction cups too, like what Leech has).
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In "Into Etheria," after getting a meal at a tavern, Cringer comments that he's starting to like this strange new world he and Adam are in. That's when some Hordesmen show up.
* [[Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth]]: Perfuma turns out to be this when captured by the Horde. Listen to her voice for 30 seconds, and you'll begin to understand why spending a day with her would be a bit much.
