On a second viewing of She-ra and the Princesses of Power, it strikes me that it’s very easy to read the Shadow Weaver business as an explicit criticism of the whole idea of redemption arcs.
Like, you think Shadow Weaver should have had a redemption arc?
As far as she’s concerned, she did.
Basically everything she does after defecting to Brightmoon is just her methodically ticking off every box on the “redemption arc” checklist in the most awful, cynical way imaginable.
Like, she even manages to turn heroically sacrificing herself into a passive-aggressive guilt trip, in the process denying the audience the simple catharsis of seeing a bad guy go down – leaving us stuck with the knowledge that she went out smugly confident that she’d completed her redemption arc and was officially on the side of the angels, and nobody’s ever going to be able to challenge that narrative because she immediately blew herself up.
I can’t imagine it’s accidental that the show gives us a character who technically does everything the genre’s formulas demand in order to earn her redemption, and thereby makes a travesty of it.
YUP!
Among other aspects, the show specifically rejects redemption by sacrificial death.
2 characters pull off what they think is a redemptive death (or at least a narrative death).
Angella, who does not actually have anything she needs to be redeemed for, but she thinks she does because of survivor’s guilt.
And Shadoweaver, who’s self sacrifice was an act of manipulation to put a guilt trip on Adora and Catra. She doesn’t go out saying she’s sorry, she goes out smirking “you’re welcome”. Pure narcissism.
And of course Adora’s self destructive impulse (which is an abuse reaction) has her careening on the same path toward martyrdom - and the emotional climax of the series isn’t her deciding she’s willing to die (but then getting to live anyway, ala Harry Potter). It’s her deciding she wants to live - that she wants to be happy for herself, not just martyr herself for others.
And then of course there is Catra who more or less attempts suicide by Prime by getting Glimmer off the ship, only to end up having the do the actual hard work of living a better life that Shadoweaver dodged.
Well the koopas have the tank tops underneath their shells, so I’m assuming Bowser’s shell is removable? Like he puts his clothes on and then his shell?
OOOOHHHH NO, I’m not goin’ with that angle! I’m not gonna lie I was never a fan of the idea of the shells just like…. poppin’ off. It always felt weird?
On one hand I could just not worry about it and draw him in clothes anyway because he looks nice in them. On the other, I COULD say they can’t wear full clothes outside of maybe a pair of pants, so to simulate wearing shirts they wear like, clip-on ties and necklaces and arm cloths instead. Hmmm :/

The problem isn’t whether or not he can rock the look because he most certainly can! The problem lies in how he puts them on with that big ass shell in the way xD

Saying magic would definitely be the easiest route but I wanna try challenging that with something more practical before I say “AIGHT SCREW IT ITS MAGIC” x3 I love the body artist idea though, that’s a lot of fun xD

And so our quest for the answer continues comrade ;w; Also that’s cute! I want a build-a-bear Bowser :C

puppet-limbo said: Maybe his clothes are similar to doll clothes? Its got an opening/velcro in the back so you put your arms through and then maybe there’s a way he can tuck the rest in/under the shell a bit to make it appear seamless.
That could work actually! O: Lookin’ at Bowser’s design there seems to be at least some space underneath his shell around his neck and his hips, so this could possibly work owo

THANK YOU! ;w; I might end up going with this idea but I also like Puppet-Limbo’s suggestion, so what I might end up doing is mixing them. Like different maybe one is more a Koopa thing and the other is when they try to modify human clothes to fit them? O:
Kamek: Sire, the amount of money youre spending on custom outfits is bankrupting the koopa kingdom!
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
