She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985)
In She-Ra: Princess of Power, Entrapta is the Horde's technician and a sidekick of Catra.[6][5][4] Entrapta is a skilled inventor and is credited with designing advanced equipment for the Horde to employ in their battle against the Great Rebellion.[7] Her specialty is devising traps and weaponry.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018–2020)
In She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Entrapta is given an updated origin storyline.[4][8][7] Her hair is also purple, unlike in the original show where it was pink, and she is able to mentally control it at will as if it were another appendage, manipulating it to fight enemies or to control her various machines.
Showrunner
Entrapta quickly joins the Rebellion, though after a partially-botched rescue mission to the Fright Zone, she is nearly incinerated and left for dead by the other princesses. Convinced by Catra that she was abandoned by her friends on purpose, Entrapta is recruited into the Horde and creates highly effective weaponry for them. Entrapta bonds with
According to Stevenson, Entrapta "sees humanity in everything"[12] and had "lots of robot boyfriends and girlfriends", along with her relationship with the ship, Darla, in "some capacity".[1]
In other media
Entrapta appears in the Robot Chicken episode "Slaughterhouse on the Prairie", voiced by Robin Tunney. She accompanies Catra and Scorpia into attacking Castle Bright Moon only for She-Ra to cause her breasts to explode.[13]
Reception
Entrapta in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power received generally positive reception from critics. Erin Wilhelm of Bleeding Cool was critical of Entrapta, calling her a "dangerous villain," saying that her actions are not "consistent with science" and that she uses discovery and science "to justify her own selfish motivations."[14] Tracy Brown contrasted this, arguing that Entrapta's "affinity for science separates her from most of the other characters on the show," said that Entrapta sees a "kindred spirit" in Hordak, and stays with the Horde because they have "accepted and nurtured her scientific drive." She also quoted her voice actress as calling Entrapta an "insatiable workaholic" who has more than "genius level intelligence" but is not very "socially savvy" and Stevenson describing Entrapta as a character which has a "very deep need to be loved and accepted" but that she wants people to "love her for who she is," and does not see the Horde and the Rebellion as on "opposite sides."[15]
