She-Ra and the Princesses of Power a reboot of the original 1980's series created by acclaimed writer Noelle Stevenson has just finished it's fifth and final season, giving the fans everything that they could want out of a series finale. Action, adventure, drama, and romance, but while the story may be over, there are other plot threads and questions that may have been left behind in the rush to thwart the plans of the terrifying and charismatic Horde Prime. Whether serving as material for speculation, spin-offs, or potential sequel series, here are ten burning questions that fans still have left after the She-Ra series finale.
10 Where Is The Rest Of Hordak's Horde?
In the last episode while Bow is delivering his speech to rouse Etheria into rebellion, we catch a brief glimpse of fan-favorite characters Lonnie, Kyle, and Rogelio. Previously members of the same Horde squadron as Catra and Adora, the three soldiers defected in the fourth season and were entirely absent for season five. Now they're in the Crimson Waste and seemingly caring for the underdeveloped Hordak clone Imp. What brought these three to this place and what happened to all the other supporting characters that had joined the Horde such as Octavia and Grizzlor? If they survived the destruction of the Fright Zone then how are they handling their new lives?
9 What Will Happen To Hordak And Entrapta?
Briefly hinted at in season two and winning the hearts of fans in season three, traitor to the rebellion Entrapta and villain Hordak's relationship is an unlikely favorite among many of the show's fans and creators alike. In the last moments of the show, the couple are happily reunited after She-Ra saves Hordak from Horde Prime's control. What happens to the pair next though? Hordak may be on the track to becoming a better person but for most of recent memory, he was a tyrannical warlord who waged a bloody war against all of Etheria, and Entrapta was outright happy to build war-machines for The Horde with very little prompting. Will the two face punishment for their crimes? Or will the rebellion allow them the same second chance afforded to other villains?
8 Who Were Adora's Parents?
Although the show heavily features themes of found family with three quarters of the Best Friend Squad being adopted, the fact that Adora is a member of the First Ones species is a sticking point for a lot of fans.
Upon meeting intergalactic tyrant Horde Prime, he tells her that he wiped out the First Ones in an ancient war, but if that's the case then where did Adora come from? Clearly this means that some small group of First Ones still survives out there in the universe and if they do are they as evil as the other First Ones seemed to be? Will Adora seek them out?
7 What About Prime's Clones?
Season Five introduced us to a plucky defective clone of Horde Prime referred to by the cast as Wrong Hordak. He and regular Hordak prove to us and the characters both that the brainwashed clones are not beyond redemption, although like most victims of abuse it would take a fair bit of time and therapy to break them free of that vicious cycle that forms the core theme of the show.
Now with an army of clones abandoned on Etheria, it begs the question of what they'll do next. Will they integrate into existing kingdoms? Will they leave Etheria behind? Perhaps they will form their own kingdom with Wrong Hordak as their princess.
6 Where Did Horde Prime Come From?
Many details of who or what Horde Prime is remained shrouded in secrets even after the series has ended. He has clearly been around for thousands upon thousands of years inhabiting different clone bodies. Where did such a powerful force come from though? When he speaks of the First Ones while threatening Adora he calls them 'My oldest enemy'. Perhaps Horde Prime was himself one of the victims of the First Ones empire, having risen up to take revenge and losing himself in the process? It would certainly fit the patterns established by the other villains like Shadow Weaver, Catra, and Hordak.
5 Where Is The Real Prince Peekablue?
In the final season's seventh episode Perils of Peekablue we're introduced to Prince Peekablue as a concept. A reclusive ruler with the ability of farsight, he seems to be a powerful ally for the rebellion until near the episode's end Peekablue is revealed to be the shapeshifting mercenary Double Trouble. However, Double Trouble wasn't always posing as Peekablue.
Princess Perfuma seems to imply that she's been trying to get in touch with Peekablue since before she joined the rebellion. So who is he? Where is he? Why didn't somebody so allegedly powerful do something about the Horde's destruction of Etheria?
4 Who Exactly Is Madame Razz?
Another fan-favorite character who made only the briefest of appearances in the final season is Madame Razz, a kooky old lady that lives in the depths of the Whispering Woods. In the season four episode Hero we're treated to the revelation that Razz seems to be unstuck from time, blinking between the show's time frame and the time of Mara's Rebellion in a manner that she does not seem able to control. Her origins are never delved into sadly, and we're left to wonder who she could be and where her powers come from.
3 Where Are The Rest Of The Scorpions?
Princess Scorpia is one of the kindest characters in the show which makes the revelation that she might be the survivor of genocide much harder to take. Throughout much of the series she talks about how her people, the original rulers of the Fright Zone, gave the Black Garnet to Hordak and helped him to establish the Horde as it is by the show's beginning.
Flashbacks and other characters however tell a different story, that Hordak took the Black Garnet and Fright Zone by force, which leaves us wondering where are the other members of Scorpia's species? Not a single other scorpion appears in the show outside of family photos and desecrated murals. Is Scorpia perhaps the last of her kind?
2 What Was The Spell Of Obtainment?
Shadow Weaver is one of the most sinister villains in the show, and one of the few that does not receive a true redemption, sacrificing herself before she has the chance to atone for the people she's hurt. Her origins as a dark sorcerer are explored early in the series near the end of season two. The episode Light Spinner shows us how she fell from grace and coerced a young king Micah into helping her cast a forbidden spell that would transform her into a magical parasite.
What this spell really does however is unclear as it seemingly frees a terrifying many-eyed monstrosity that devours Light Spinner and spits her out as Shadow Weaver when the spell is interrupted. This shadowy terror is never discussed or mentioned again outside this scene. Was this the intended effect of the spell? What was this creature and is it still out there, lurking and waiting for someone foolish enough to cast the spell of obtainment again?
1 Who Are The Other Princesses?
One of the core parts of the world of Etheria is the fifteen princesses. They are all naturally gifted in the planet's magic (with the unusual exception of Entrapta who may be a princess in title only) and are key to operating the weapon at the planet's heart. Of these fifteen, five never appear in the show, and one is never even named.
The two Star sisters, Sweet Bee, Prince Peekablue, and one unnamed princess are shown briefly in silhouette by Light Hope but otherwise are only mentioned in passing. How did these figures deal with the invasion of Horde Prime? Why didn't they join the rebellion and why were they never seen? We may never know.
