I find Catra’s relationship with Entrapta to be rather complex because Catra does seem to believe Entrapta was left behind and does empathize with her on that point. Still Catra is using in Entrapta but it seems like that is how all Horde relationships work. Adora herself had a hard time understanding friendship for friendship’s sake with Bow and Glimmer. Kids in the Horde are raised to see each other as assets first and foremost.

It’s likely that Catra thinks Scorpia and Entrapta are just using her as well and the relationship is a mutual, I find magic crystal tech for you and get you robots to play with/you make use those things to make weapons for me kind of thing. What will be interesting to see how Catra reacts to Entrapta either becoming a liability or wanting to become friends.

yep! i think that catra genuinely empathizes with both scorpia and entrapta’s feelings of being left behind. although she’s using that to convince them to do what she wants, the underlying connection is sincere. she knows exactly what to say because she feels the same way.

even with adora, their relationship was a mutual promise to protect each other. you protect me, i protect you. they were assets to each other, on top of just being fond of each other. 

i think that catra will warm up to entrapta, just as she did to scorpia. she might not openly acknowledge that they’re all friends, but she’ll act in accordance to that. trusting them absolutely, looking out for them in her own way, confiding in them, etc. 

but you actually bring up a very interesting idea–what if hordak decides that entrapta is too chaotic, too much of a liability, too risky? what if hordak orders his second-in-command, force captain catra, to either leave entrapta behind or lock her up for real? 

if catra reaches a point at which she’ll be the one to have the power to be the one who leaves someone else behind and betray them, how will she react? will she remember how awful she felt, and how much she cares about entrapta, and refuse, or will she give in for the sake of power?

I’m not going to lie, I think this may be one of my favourite Bow moments of the entire season. Even though many see him as a soft, comedic relief character, he really is the emotional support of his friends. He shows this when him and Glimmer are talking about their kidnapping, and he shows it here. 

He knows Adora is trying her best. He know that she hurts because everyone is counting on her, and she feels like she failed. That’s why she apologized to him after he asked if they can still ‘fix it’. They both know they won’t be able to win, and Adora feels like it’s her fault. Knowing all of this, Bow realizes that Adora needs comfort, and gives it to her.

Basically, what I’m trying to say, is that Bow is probably the best friend in this entire series and I could never understand how someone could hate him.

ok but like,,,,,,,,, entrapta could’ve left the fright zone at any point during those 45 hours,,,,,,,,,,,, like she didn’t cry because she was scared or anything. she literally only cried because she was sad that her friends didn’t think she was worth coming back for. like, fuck.
