Also may i add, Catra didn't even cared about Horde Prime crazy plan until she found out she woudn't get anything out of it, she still wanted power
I remember seeing a C//A fan comic a while back. Catra was being super defensive and possessive of Adora after the war ended. And everyone (civilians) got mad at Catra. So Adora stands up for her saying “Why are you all hanging up on Catra?!” And they all answer ‘Because she did a bunch of shitty things.’ Only for Adora to throw it back in their faces with “In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a bunch of Horde clones around here who were just as bad as she was. And you’re not mad at them!”
And here’s where the comic REALLY lost me. Yeah, the clones fucked up. And yes, they have to work hard to have people trust and respect them and help Etheria as well. But Jfc, at least the clones didn’t KNOW ANY BETTER. I mean they were kinda, I dunno, BRAINWASHED AND IN A CULT. Catra, on the other hand literally committed atrocity after atrocity, KNOWING FULL WELL she was doing something evil.
that's so fucked up?? see, this is exactly what kind of mindset this show fosters. "the show says catra didn't do anything wrong, so she didn't do anything wrong!" not to mention, real-life abuse victims do tend to be defensive over their partner and it's not a good thing. adora had actually realized how toxic catra was, so to have her not only forgive catra but also protect her from the consequences of her own actions is.. depressing, to say the least.
