Egyptian She-Ra

Remember the character She-Ra, He-Man’s twin sister, from the old 1980s cartoons? Because she’s the next thing to be rebooted lately, and the new design for her has provoked a small bit of online controversy because certain people think it looks too “mannish” (ostensibly because she looks flatter-chested and has thinner lips than her original incarnation).

I can’t say I was a fan of the original show, and the current trend of rebooting old properties from the 1980s has grown quite tiresome. But looking at She-Ra’s name, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Egyptian sun deity Ra. And so this Egyptianized redesign for her was born!
