The cast is majority female and has diversity amongst both its protagonists and its antagonists. There is a plethora of queer characters in the show, as the showrunner is a married lesbian who has always stood by representing LGBT people. Many of the main characters are lesbian or bisexual women and there is a non-binary character that quickly became a fan favourite.
It gives a lot of screentime to it's villains (such as Catra and Scorpia) to develop them and creates a more human look at them. Shows like Steven Universe attempt to create sympathy for its villains (which it can succeed in sometimes) but She-Ra is much more successful at this. It shows the cycles of abuse with characters like Catra that can build a lot more understanding and sympathy, but it never oversteps by trying to excuse her actions.
The colours are also very bright and varied, making it very attention grabbing and entertaining.
