1/ As the guy who co-created the character of She-Ra and her universe alongside Larry DiTillio (though Mattel named her), a few thoughts. (Note: I am in no way connected with the current show, so I'm speaking both as an outsider to what is and an insider to what was intended).https://twitter.com/kawaiiberpunk/status/1019210255992049664 …

6/ By that I don't mean naked, I mean without leggings of some kind. But that's absolutely the rule for female characters (I say this as the guy who put Wonder Woman in pants during his run because seriously it's hard to fight otherwise). No leg hair for guy heroes.

7/ Anyway, just wanted to add some possible clarity to the discussion. If you're looking for writers to create your "ideal woman" that wasn't the intent, this ain't it, and we don't know you well enough to guess, and be aware that idealization does not equal objectification.

8/ That perspective is something I've always tried to bring to bear in my work, from so-creating She-Ra's personality to Delenn, Ivanova, Lyta and others on Babylon 5, all the way to Riley, Sun, Kala, Nomi and Amanita on Sense8. It's all about strength, smarts and wit.

They did that because my husband wrote to them and asked them to. Honest. He told me that, right when Chris Evans grabbed a helicopter and *flexed*, and I possibly emitted a Meep noise ;-)

I’m not an expert in this, but as I understand it, the difference is in whose ideal. He-Man isn’t the ideal of what is attractive to women, but what Men want to look like. She-Ra is the ideal of what men are attracted to, not what women want to look like.

This is ironic considering that He-Man is an example of a male superhero that didn’t wear pants on She-Ra: Princess as of Power. Neither did Hordak nor Skeletor. Does that mean they were objectified? Props for your work on the show, either way.
