Okay, I finished the third "season" of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, (which, really, is the back half of a 14-episode Season 2, split in the middle for reasons) and I have hit one of the things that makes me grit my teeth in storytelling, because something that I could ignore came back and became central to the plot of this arc.
So, at this juncture, if you're not all the way through the third season, here is where you have to make a decision about whether you want to be spoiled. The grand majority of this post is devoted to Entrapta's characterization and motivation, as I see it.
( Forging ahead? Here we go. )
Entrapta is already a giant plot point, and because of that, when her characterization is so teeth-grindingly awful, she throws off the storytelling. For the Season 3 arc, someone needs to make a decision about what Entrapta's characterization is and then situation her motivation in that character.
(I'll bet there's some fantastic fic that explores this situation, regardless of how it resolves it into something coherent, because this snarl is the sort of thing that fic is made to unravel and re-knit. As well as, I suspect, a lot of Adora/Catra/Scorpia in various permutations of that triangle.)
