Masters of the Universe: Revolution

I enjoyed parts 1 & 2 of Revelation. That said, I really enjoyed Revolution. I was a bit disappointed Revolution wasn't given like 7 episodes but, they crammed a great story into what felt like a mini movie. Another downside, many supporting characters weren't given time to shine. I've seen a lot of fans take issue with certain things, mostly because they go into this thinking they're getting Filmation 2. That company no longer exists and it's foolish to expect more of that. One thing I really liked, the core characters have matured and the fans aren't insulted by these characters remaining like it's still1980-something. This is very much a more mature take on He-Man, the cheesiness is gone and there's an actual story vs the bad guys are sent back to Snake Mountain vowing revenge. The stories aren't resolved in a half hour and the side of good has actual work to do to win the day. The two end credit scenes are very interesting, the first, you wonder how that'll play out. The second, if you know the stories beyond TV, you know what a season 3 & 4 might bring.

I don't review often. I saw the previous series done by Kevin Smith get bashed and was disappointed at how many people hated something great. This sequel series did a fantastic job, just like the first, of melding the classic with the new. I wholeheartedly enjoyed this. From the cheesy one-liners to the new exciting conflicts and realizations of classic characters. The only gripe I have is the amount of episodes. I wish I had more. I saw tons of hate online already, and it's one of the only recent shows in memory that I sat down and binged because it was entertaining as hell. That's what it truly boils down to: is this entertaining? I think the way Kevin Smith approached a modern He-Man just does that. So please don't listen to those people saying he ruined it. I never once thought he did while watching this show. I just had fun, which these losers can't seem to do anymore.

Though much derided in some quarters, I quite liked Kevin Smith's MOTU: Revelation. This follow up series was, he later revealed, guided by the Netflix algorithm to be five episodes instead of 12 and honestly, I think the algorithm was spot on, as this is a much leaner and better paced run.

With Skeletor (Mark Hamill) haven fallen under the thrall of Hordak (Keith David) and Motherboard (Meg Foster) he attacks Eternia again, with his new technological powers. Though he's repelled by He-Man (Chris Wood), the assault brings about the death of King Randor (Diedrich Bader). Prince Adam then has to decide whether to take the throne or continue as his protector alter ego. Before he can decide though, Randor's estranged brother Keldor (William Shatner) returns and offers an alternative.

Never any issues with the look of this version of "Masters of the Universe" and again this looks tremendous. The vocal performances from the returning cast are good and the addition of William Shatner, Keith David and John De Lancie only improves things. There's a little less humour this time, not none, but a little less certainly 'knowing' humour. The best performance probably comes from Lena Heady, whose Evil-Lyn returns and continues to be one of the few characters on a genuine arc.

As with the second half of "Revelations" the story is focused and tight and is all the better for it. There are very few diversions, with even the potential "fetch quest" aspect of the Sorcerous' story being completed in just a couple of episodes. I hope that the viewing figures reflect the improvements that have gone into this run, as I'd certainly like to see more.

I can't believe how good this was. I'm so hyped for the next part. Keep it up with this kind of story telling. It doesn't compare at all with Revelation. The animation was just beautiful and smooth. U need to give the animation team a round of applause and a raise. I mean everything was such an awesome spectacle Revolution also fixed a lot of the complaints the fans had in a nice way.

The design of the corrupted skeletor, Hordack, he man teela....so cool.

The word Cool describes this part perfect Yeah I highly recommend the fans that were disappointed with revelation to give this a shot. U u don't like this then I don't know what more u would want.

I watched the first episode of Revelation, switched off in disgust and vowed never to return.

I saw plenty of reviews which confirmed I made the right choice.

This is an entirely different show.

While it does pick up from season 1, there is an almost complete absence of the misandry and virtue signalling that defined Revelation.

The result is a show that feels exactly like what fans wanted to see the first time round.

Beautiful animation, cool story turns and heroic men and women working together without resentment.

I binged all 5 episodes and had a great time despite the odd technology driven storyline.

This is an action-packed show about good and evil, heroism and friends banding together to fight tyranny.

Just like it always should have been.

They pulled a Picard season 3 here and we all need more of that IMHO.
