Hey folks!

This is the post to discuss episode 6, System Failure. As always, spoilers for the whole season are fair game.

Yeah, Entrapta's isolation is.. interesting, considering we saw Perfuma surrounded by her people, and Mermista mentioned something about her own kingdom being evacuated. It also sounded like Entrapta didn't have her own gemstone, another thing setting her apart.

Which makes sense as we don't really see her use magic. Although the staff do say "we're not princesses, we don't have magic" so Entrapta must have some magic. I thought initially her gemstone might have been the beacon that sounds the alarm, but you know she would have taken it apart to examine long before, if she had one.

Huh, I guess I just assumed Entrapta's thing was being a techno-wizard. Also, her magic moving hair is a parallel to Perfuma's vine-control and Mermista's water-control/mer-transformation.

Her hair is just a wonder in itself. I mean it does everything.

The techno aspect I see as a skill rather than magic. She's very methodical and experiments. The conversation Bow has with Adora and Glimmer about her being part of the makers community makes me feel that way as most of the other princesses their magic is what they are, not necessarily what they do, if that makes sense?
