Now on Season 5. Got a few questions.

conuly1. With her sword broken, how does Adora mop the floor? Or has she been too busy fighting to mop?
2. Seriously, why is Horde Prime such a control freak? Like, who hurt him?
3. Either this is going to be a real downer of a season, or Adora will she that ra again and then they'll take out Horde Prime in the grand tradition of "kill the dictator, stop the war". Except that as we've seen in the Levant and elsewhere, it doesn't really work like that. Rebuilding's gonna be a bitch, and they'll be lucky if all they have to deal with is half the random clones putting themselves up as their own tinpot rulers instead of whatever beaten down survivors of the onslaught might have inconvenient ambition.
3a. I'm assuming that there are planets and people who aren't clones left. This may be an unwise assumption.
4. You gotta admire Catra's gumption here, and if Horde Prime wasn't such a massive control freak it might have worked! But a man who doesn't trust anybody but brainwashed clones in his army is clearly not somebody who'll promote her.
5. I guess nobody has been bold enough to tell him how pathetic this all is. Geez, HP, get a therapist. Not a clone therapist or a brainwashed therapist or a brainwashed clone therapist, somebody with an outside perspective.
6. I never realized it before, but Hordak has emo hair. Anybody notice that?
7. WHY IS HP SUCH A CONTROL FREAK THOUGH FOR REAL.
8. While the First Ones were definitely also assholes, they may have been right about the need to destroy the Horde by any means necessary. I'm starting to think this. Unless, of course, their extreme measures just exacerbated the situation until you were left with... this.
9. This is more of a bonus season 4 question, but does Shadow Weaver just... like... teaching? Like, is that it? She's a terrible parent, and obviously a little too interested in vengeance with or without a side dish of power - but does she just like to teach?
10. Well, at least there are still floors to mop. Though maybe the clones do that too.
