Sou uma entuasiasta de todos os "revivals" dos anos 80/90 mas fiquei decepcionada com essa version meio esquisita do Masters of the Universe. Faltou o Adam. Faltou o He-Man. Não gostei de versão da Tila. Talvez a nova geração goste. Talvez até a antiga. Mas eu, que cresci amando o He-man e a Tila, não gostei. I'm an enthusiast of all the "revivals" of the 80s/90s but I was disappointed with this weird version of Masters of the Universe. Adam was missing. He-Man was missing. I didn't like Teela's version. Maybe the younger generation will like it. Maybe even the old one. But I, who grew up loving He-man and Teela, didn't like it. #netflix #serieslover.
I'll give it four stars because the animation and OST is alright but everything else is meh. These aren't the same characters as any previous He-man show and it clearly shows. Everything you read below is correct and I'll just sum it up to say Kevin Smith and anyone else involved with this doesn't understand He-man and had no right to touch it. There was a right way to go about this and that chance is gone now I think. I hope Kevin Smith's career tanks because of this and everyone remembers how he destroyed something he clearly didn't understand just like Rian did with LTJ.
I've read some interesting reviews about this show, now that I've watched it, I can agree with lots of points, and disagree strongly with others.
The main issue, the absence of He-Man, it's very true we don't get a lot of him, he is sacrificed for 80% of it, and we're given Teela.
The animation is superb I thought, I loved it, it's modern, but it doesn't feel a million miles away from the classic series, the stories of course, you won't recognise any original characteristics there.
The best of the villains here for me, Scare Glow, absolutely first rate, that's perhaps the best episode too.
The real star of the show is Lena Headey, who voices Evil Lyn, her voice is captivating, and I think it's fair to say that she's the most interesting character here, she isn't forced on us, instead she naturally shines through, we aren't made to think she's incredible....ahem Teela.
I don't love it, I didn't hate it, it's watchable, and nostalgic, 6/10.

I don't know who the target audience for this show is supposed to be, fans of the original (in their +30's by now, I am one of them) or kids? To me, the writing is terrible. The first episode of part 1 was promising, as was the last, but in between it was a complete snore-fest. As for Part 2, it just went downhill and never stopped. Sad for me to say but I hope there will not be a Part 3.
The only positive I can give the show is the great animation, and a solid voice cast performance.

What the heck did I just watch?
It wasn't He-Man.
This is why you don't let drug addicts write.
Please stop hiring Kevin Smith until he goes to rehab.
Thanks.
