The new "Hotel California" looks dumb.

It annoys me that they take classic monsters and make them all friendly and nice.

Werewolves aren't nice, they eat and kill people. Same with vampires, zombies, Mummies, etc.

I dunno, it just bothers me. Like they're covering every potentially harmful table corner in the house with foam padding.

The new look growing on me but a main nitpick I have is that the character looks too young but otherwise doesn't look sjw-ish.

I can agree that it does not look TOO SJW.
However, the facial structure of She-Ra is very bland if you ask me.
She looks like she belongs into Totally Spies and something along the chin lines in combination with how the hair looks, makes her look more like a bit like eminem.

I am waiting for the actual animation, but it looks weirdly liveless.

it's gonna be months until teaser is given to us.
 
I found out some more info on the She-Ra reboot and story line wise, it could be alright, but the rest of the designs aren't any better.

Glimmer/Angelica: She's also flat-chested, wide and has no crotch. The outfit is a little bland.
Bow: I'm ok with the race-swap, but I think I'd go with a breast plate with a small heart-shaped genstone and his hair being like Kiros' (Final Fantasy 8 ). The top looks a little weird.
Catra: From what I can see, it's ok.

Look, if no one else is gonna say it, I will: That looks like a dude.
If, when you crop the hair, your character looks like Dirk the Daring, then I'm sorry, you fucking suck at character design.

I have some experience with this show - not because I enjoyed it as a child, but rather because several of my friends were really into it, and for a humorous reason: The show had a bit of a status as a cult hit amongst the gay community, mostly because Funimation was a really pro-gay company and allowed writers and artists to throw plenty of shenannigans in that made fun of this fact, in much the same way that a pixar flick might throw an edgy joke to amuse the dads in the audience. Even people who knew nothing about the show knew this about it. Fucking I know this, and I know barely anything about this show.

I bring this up for a reason: This show was already fucking beloved by the gay community. From a purely Social Justice standpoint, there should be no fucking pull for the usual shitty reboot, based on this alone.

Which is why this one's all the more baffling: All evidence shows this is another Social Justice remake of an existing show: Not only do we have the standard blue checkmark brigade on Twitter losing their shit anytime someone says they don't like it (because not liking this show for any reason means you're a monster that wants to sexualize women), but we already have the artist behind the reboot going on record declaring they never watched and don't care about the original, dismissing all criticism as sexism (despite a number of women apparently being just as frustrated with this reboot), and declaring that this reboot wasn't for the original fans of this show. Which is part of the usual cancer sweeping through entertainment these days, but it begs the question:

These remakes all tend to fail horribly. Who the fuck keeps bankrolling these?

For them closing ranks around it, look no further than the Mary Sue, or Pajiba.

Creator admitting to not being a fan of the original show:

Noelle Stevenson didn’t grow up watching She–Ra: Princess of Power, but she wishes she had.

However, this is where things get interesting, and is another example of why I fucking hate Twitter. It's also a good example of why I'm glad we have the likes of you, my Fritz the Cat Avatar'd friend, to ask for subsidiary evidence, because looking into this, I quickly discovered that I'd been bamboozled.

All right, so, all this shit with the creator allegedly saying the reboot wasn't for the fans? Yeah, she never actually said that, despite me reading it repeatedly both on Social Justice and Opposition sites. Where that shit came from was a social justice blogger and, near as I can tell, was passed around by the usual suspects before being picked up by others reporting on it.

If I hadn't gone looking for it because you asked, I wouldn't have found this myself. I absolutely was in the wrong about that part, and I will own being in the wrong on that.

...That said, I did also find this shit from the creator of the show:

Her "GF," near as I can tell, is a troon. Because of course it is.

Might be further lolcow potential down the line. I'll do research when time allows.

You mean Filmation, right?

As for who bankrolls these? Fuck if I know. Probably some guy who needs to pay off some shady mafia boss? Or who is just really clueless as to what people want.

Yes. Fuck. I think looking at the ADF threads gave me brain damage.

Companies who have no inspiration and who seek to recycle the past endlessly instead of trying to find something that can be this generation's (insert here).

But take heart! Very few remakes overtake the original in popular memory.
