>>108359246Bad writing? He's not very funny and he takes the seriousness out of every scene he's in with bad quips, which is pretty damn hard to do when he's barely in the show. I guess that's another aspect of it, he highlights the problem the show has of tell and explain how you're supposed to feel about what we told you, rather than show. The show has no confidence you'll figure out him and Adora have a real connection so it stops the story dead to explain it to you, something even the original was capable of doing without the explanation. No big blue expositionbot needed to explain that he and Adora are super special together, he just was a chainsmoking horse, and he actually had some pretty good lines too.
He also highlights a lot of inconsistency with the lore by having this push, since Adora also did the same thing to a lizard and at that episode it was just played off like a joke, then they turned around and said it was serious and important, and you should feel the connection to it.
There's a lot of reasons why he's a bad character, and the bad artstyle and inconsistent anatomy and size he has is just the tip of it, when you actually watch him in action there's really nothing to cling to unless you like really bad jokes. Which, to be fair, you're watching She-Ra, so...
