Hellooooooooooo! I have some SpaceBat asks for you, please!
4.) Was Horde Prime a good main villain and why so?
22.) What would have happened if Horde Prime found Imp?
25.) Whatâs your favorite moment of Hordak, Wrong Hordak, Imp, and/or Horde Prime from the show?
For the OCs, just wanted to offer the opportunity to share concepts/ideas if you had some you wanted to share (which is basically question 16 i think Lolol but only share if you want to).
Thank you sm for the ask and happy final sbm day! :D
4) Well in my opinion he wasn't that good of a villain, especially compared to other villainous spop characters with much more complexity and who simply had much better writing (Hordak, Catra, Shadow Weaver, Light Hope even)
HP isn't really a villain or a character, he's an obstacle to our heroes. He's a strong obstacle thats for sure, but other than that he doesn't have much going on - he has no relationship with any other character (besides Hordak who isnt a main character), we don't get to explore show's main themes through his character, he means nothing and adds nothing to Adora/She-ra's personal journey, and he just doesn't do much in his limited screentime besides looking angry or aura farming. So I woudn't say he's a great final villain in terms of writing
Now, is Horde Prime an effective villain? Is he charismatic, memorable, scary, fun? 100% YES. I've been rotating him in my head for years on end for a REASON :D
22) Pure chaos. I imagine that Prime would instantly recognize Imp from Hordak's memories and start ranting about everything wrong with his design and his heinous form, he'd especially hate the wings. He wouldn't even be that furious with Hordak for daring to create life on his own and trying to replicate Prime's cloning process, he'd be simply too appalled by this temu version of a spacebat. He'd be stuck between wanting to destroy Imp and being so weirded out by this strange creature that he'd instead want to keep him around for study
And Imp would be... Imp. Annoying the living shit out of Prime and making a mess on the ship while trying to find Hordak. And creeping Prime out even more by doing normal feral baby things
Hordak - Of course the best one must be his final confrontaion with Prime. Him standing up to his god, accepting himself and gaining back his will to live, rejecting Prime and choosing freedom, showing his endless love for Entrapta - that scene has everying! The second best moment must be his entire subplot in the Signals episode when he directly interacts with Entrapta for the first time. Going from an angry warold to an awkward confused guy to curious scientist to a chill boss accepting whatever Entrapta has in mind and letting her join his portal project in a spend of a few minutes was a wild ride. But that was the episode that made me a Hordak fan :)
Wrong Hordak - Love every moment when he mimics someone and when he tries to fool his clone brothers :D But the best moment must be his backround line from s5ep6: "I put amniotic fluid in there. No, that was a joke c:"
Imp - He's such a cute cheeky demon baby when he snitches on someone and immediately hides behind Hordak's back or nestles in his lap or arms. He knows he's always protected by papa :)
Horde Prime - The best scene is undoubtedly his iconic introduction scene in s4 finale. He simply stole the show, there was so much power and eeriness in his words, movements and long glances. HP was radiating control, confidence and even a lil bit of sick amusment and I hated and loved him for it. He acted like he already won and was ready to destroy everything and everyone without a second thought. Every time I rewatch that scene I want to bite him so bad lmao
(hehe thank u for letting me yap about them)
I'm so facinated with the concept of the first clones Prime ever created. How different were they from the newer generation of spacebats, what relationship they had with Prime and what their lives in the Horde looked like. And thus my mind came up with the triplets :)
They didn't get to have names, and they had relatively short lives, but they were horde clones with the most freedom and the only batch of clones allowed to be people. Too small to form an army the gang was more like Prime's right hand men. But most importantly they were his special test subjects, for his experience with the triplets helped him with programming the next generation of clones. Thanks to them he learned what a perfect brother should and shouldn't be. How they should move and speak, what knowledge they can have access to, how they must look, how much free will and freedom of self expression they are allowed to have. The most important thing he realized is that his brothers were acting and thinking too much like him and that made them dangerous. Turns out there's no other person in the known universe Prime loves and hates more than himself
