>>9689842The most interesting part of Filmation Catra's design only comes up in "Magicats", where the mask she'd been using since introduced to transform into a panther was stolen from the imprisoned Magicat Queen. The born-catgirl design was a visual improvement but removed that complexity.
We could also question if Entrapta being an engineer in thigh boots, a miniskirt and low-cut bodice was the better design.
