I was thrilled to find that Netflix had a new rebooted version titled <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>. I have been watching the reboot and I found it much better than the original version, with the characters having more diverse backgrounds and backstories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the reboot, a former soldier of the evil Horde, Adora is trying to find her identity and purpose in life on the planet Etheria after coming upon a magic sword which transforms her into the mighty warrior She-Ra. Helping her on her journey are Princess Glimmer and Bow who are fighting in a rebellion against the Horde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/Picture3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-176\" width=\"495\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/Picture3-1.png 391w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/Picture3-1-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the characters, Bow an archer and technology whiz, grew up in the Library of the Whispering Woods with his two fathers George and Lance, the library\u2019s historians\/archivists. This is featured in the second season episode \u201cReunion,\u201d when Bow secretly runs off to visit his fathers. Adora (She-Ra) and Glimmer follow Bow\u2019s tracks and find him in the archives, where they learn unique artifacts and ancient pottery.  Not giving much more away, this is an episode I consider to be a favorite because it features a library and archive complete with artifacts and rare books.&nbsp; The vase and other pottery on display there remind me of the ancient Cypriot pottery in ODU Special Collections&#8217; Dudley Cooper collection that is on display in our Reading Room in Perry Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"661\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/89775083_10157889602605281_6519311290727399424_o-2-1024x661.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/89775083_10157889602605281_6519311290727399424_o-2-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/89775083_10157889602605281_6519311290727399424_o-2-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/89775083_10157889602605281_6519311290727399424_o-2-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/89775083_10157889602605281_6519311290727399424_o-2-465x300.jpg 465w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/scua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6435\/2020\/04\/89775083_10157889602605281_6519311290727399424_o-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>ODU Professor Jared Benton\u2019s Ancient Arts and Archaeology class visited the Libraries&#8217; Special Collections and University Archives to analyze ancient Cypress pottery <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> It was a great thrill to watch this episode, because I work in an archives department within a university library, and I like seeing libraries and archives being represented animatedly.&nbsp; If you are binging on Netflix during the stay-at-home order and are into libraries and archives, you might want to watch this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Metadata Specialist Kathleen Smith As a seventh grader nearly thirty-five years ago, I used to watch She-Ra: Princess of Power after school every day.
