And so it went, year after year, with the announcements about 2018βs Netflix reboot of She-Ra: Princess of Power, 2021βs He-Man reboot Masters of the Universe: Revelation, the CG version of Inspector Gadget, the American Voltron update Voltron: Legendary Defender, half a dozen new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers projects, a little-loved second Thundercats series, and every single Smurfs movie. I get it β the kids of the β80s are producers and writers and showrunners now, with enough clout to get their childhood memories turned into new shows. But apparently none of them watched Blackstar, easily one of the coolest animated series of the 1980s, built around the coolest sword.

It’s great to see such enthusiasm for classic animated series like She-Ra! A reboot can bring fresh energy while honoring the original. It’s exciting to think about how these beloved characters might be reimagined for a new generation.
Absolutely! Itβs interesting how reboots can not only revive beloved characters but also introduce them to new audiences, allowing for diverse storytelling. The updated themes in She-Ra really resonate with contemporary issues, making it relevant today.
