#cgi hordak

[kuurankaiho]

Hordak mashup drawn together with the awesome Draculadana on IG. Original collab post here. Finished before my con trip. This interpretation derives inspiration from all of his versions, including a redesigned Sword of Horokoth from the DC comics. Took over a month, but it was so much fun! 💖

The wings are magical, instead of CGIDak's physical ones. XD

A little tribute for Kevin Conroy for voice acting the Dark knight:

We will miss you

Kevin Conroy

1955-2022

[emperorsfoot]

Kevin Conroy, beloved voice actor passed away.

He was most well known for his work on the Batman franchise as the title character.

But his most recent role was that of Hordak (another bat-themed character) from Masters of the Universe Core/CGI. And, in fact, Hordak might possibly have been Conroy's final role before he died.

May his memory be a blessing, Lord Hordak.

Alright, a specific iteration won, but nobody said what itteration in the replies. So now we gotta do another poll!

What iteration of Masters of the Universe?

[waterfire1848]

I just wanted to throw my hat into the ring of theories. Adora generally can’t be brought into any He Man franchise (due to copyright), but putting that aside for a second there also doesn’t appear to be an Etheria in this version. When he first see Hordak, the Horde’s homebase appears to already be on Eternia and Hordak and Skeletor make a mention that the army is already coming. I doubt we’ll be seeing Etheria or even hearing about it (maybe Despondos). My theory on the whole Adora aspect though is that she and Marlena are together. Marlena went looking for her (maybe on the Horde’s section of the planet, I feel like Randor has to know that’s there) and Hordak captured her (I’ve seen some artwork of Despera…maybe Despera this time around is Marlena???????) (Does anyone know for certain what She Ra characters can appear in He Man properties?)

The CGI/Core Hordak's wings are actually a separate Bat of Horokoth that clips onto his back!

[sithvampiremaster27]

For those of you, who watch the CGI He-Man show, you might remember that the 3rd season ended with a cliffhanger, with Evil-Lyn meeting Hordak, and he was voiced by Kevin Conroy.

But now that Kevin Conroy sadly passed away, it makes me wonder what will happen to the CGI He-Man show?

- Will they find a new voice for Hordak?

- Or will the show get cancelled altogether?

Both options are very possible. The show might get cancelled, because not many people know about it, and there was only one Kevin Conroy.

But I’m hoping that the show will continue, and they will find a new voice actor for Hordak. Personally, I’d pick Diedrich Bader.

A WIP closeup and linearts of a Hordak piece I'm drawing together with the awesome Draculadana (Instagram collab post here.). This combines attributes and ideas from most of his incarnations, including the CGI He-Man. He's wielding the Sword of Horokoth, claiming the Power/Havoc for his own. We decided that the wings are spellcast. XD

This has been sitting in my drafts for half a year oops-

Anyway, here’s Raemura’s CGI He-Man design!

Her Revelation/Revolution variation will be posted whenever I get to making a new ref for it.

Also, gonna add links to each variation in these info posts of her. Her SPOP variation is here!

In all MOTU variations (excluding the SPOP reboot), her name is Raemura.

Her backstory is practically the same / similar in the CGI / Revelation / Revolution series, except for some details.

Spoilers ahead for those who haven’t seen/finished the series yet!

—————————————————————

• Pre Series

Raemura was created by Hordak as a clone, mixing some of his DNA with that of a human (possibly various other species), and a strange essence that he wasn’t entirely familiar with, which turned out to be Havoc. He sat her in a pod with a tracking device, and sent it away. Her pod landed on Eternia and was found by a young Keldor, who ended up taking her back to Eternos.

For as long as Raemura can remember, she has spent her entire life studying, training, and working to become a royal guard, and eventually the heir to the throne of Eternos, as she was the only royal child at the time before Adam’s birth.

Raemura always picked on Adam, teasing him and making fun of him for being small and weak, horrible mannerisms she picked up from Keldor, unfortunately. She also did so out of jealousy, as she believed it wasn’t fair for her to lose her supposed right to the throne, not really knowing exactly how royalty worked.

The teasing went on for a few years, up until Adam eventually vanished, along with Keldor.

At the time, she didn’t exactly get along with King Randor, so she ended up running away from the palace and came across Evelyn and Kronis. Despite them all not being too familiar with each other, the two took Raemura in regardless, as they knew Keldor would most definitely have their heads if anything happened to her.

• Season 1

Raemura spent most of her teenage and a couple of her adult years with Evelyn and Kronis, even if they were hesitant -and disappointed- about taking her in. She held a grudge against Keldor after his disappearance, as she had assumed that he abandoned her.

After being reunited, Raemura tried to avoid Keldor and the other two. She refused to look at or speak to her father, even after his transformation into Skeletor.

Skeletor had eventually persuaded Raemura to join him on a mission, which turned out to be and excuse for family bonding, so the two could catch up on the past decade.

However, it doesn’t go as planned and Raemura finds out she’s not Keldor’s biological daughter, and that he had took her in when she was still very young. This results in him also telling Raemura that it’s one of the reasons why he and Randor used to fight constantly.

All of this new information causes their relationship to become much more strained than before, and Raemura starts to push Keldor away.

• Season 2

Raemura spends a lot of her time trying to figure out who she is, who she wants to be, and what her purpose is in the fight between her father and the Masters of the Universe. She has a hard time accepting that she even has a part in it at all, as she never once appears on the Castle Grayskull tapestry.

Unaware to Raemura, there’s a deeper reason for this; her crash landing on Eternia wasn’t prophesied by Castle Grayskull, and the Castle is still trying to calculate how she plays a role in the battle.

But Raemura soon starts to slowly turn against her father, regardless. The two start to bicker and argue more often, and Raemura even tries to attack him. Eventually, she runs away and isn’t around during her father’s first defeat.

• Season 3

Raemura spends a long time traveling on her own, attempting to run away from her problems. However, it’s of no use, as Skeletor’s ghost tends to follow her around occasionally due to her body partially being created from Havoc.

She starts to slowly become more aggressive and vulnerable, and the Havoc starts to consume her entirely.

Raemura starts to blame herself for her failure to become the heir to the royal throne, become a captain of the royal guards, along with being the reason her assumed biological family didn’t want her, despite Skeletor’s constant attempts to reassure her that she’s wrong.

He tries to show he still cares about her, but Raemura refuses to see it and continues to push him and everybody else away, fully accepting the Havoc within her.

While Keldor is defeated once more and arrested, Raemura finally discovers her true purpose in the prophecy of the Masters of the Universe, where she came from, and what she’s finally meant to do.

While coming across a tattered and burnt tapestry, it reveals that she finally has a part in the battle, with the Masters of the Universe, Keldor, and the Horde fighting against her.

With that, she pledges to create her own army from the Havoc flowing through her veins, and swears revenge on everybody who has ever wronged her. Starting with Hordak himself.

TRIVIA

When Skeletor shares the Power of Havoc with the group, the Havoc already within her body (on top of the shared Havoc) is highly affected by Raemura’s bottled up emotions, bringing out her worst qualities. Her appearance is supposed to appear as a mash up of Skeletor and Hordak, meant to symbolize the fact that while Keldor is the closest to family that she’s ever known, Hordak is still a part of her and he will never lose his hold on her for his plans.

Raemura was 13-15 when Keldor took Adam to Castle Grayskull, resulting in Raemura being 23-25 during the show’s events.

She never understood why Keldor and Randor didn’t get along, nor why Keldor rarely allowed her to see her uncle. She only found out later on that part of it was due to Randor’s belief that Raemura had no business living in the palace, because of the sole fact that she was adopted.

Raemura has a crush on a Captain of the guards but is too shy and awkward to speak to her.

Raemura actually gets along better with Kronis and views him as yet another father figure. She’s collecting dads like Pokémon, she has 4 now please make it stop-

She-Ra In He-Man Revelations/Revolution

So it's been a few days and I wanted to put this post out there to basically publicly give my thoughts on some... recent developments concerning He-Man Revolution. Before I go into this, MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING FOR THE SHOW!

And also, and this is probably MORE important than the spoiler warning. Do not, and I repeat, do not take whatever speculation I put in this post as gospel or something that is GOING to happen. I may be a bit more knowledgeable than a lot of people about this stuff, but I don't wanna consider myself an expert. This is just me speculating and giving my thoughts and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up because there's a good chance, that what I'm saying turns out to be completely wrong and I don't wanna be responsible for that, so please, take all of this with the smallest grain of salt possible.

With that out of the way...

So the new season of He-Man ends with the reveal of this lady, Despara. For those who don't know... she is Adora. As in She-Ra Adora. In the DC He-man comics, Despara was the name Adora was known as when she was raised as Hordak's daughter. Her name is often used by Catradora fan artists and fic writers who really wanna just make Adora a hot evil lesbian, usually with a hot butch hairdo. It is likely that if/when another season of this show comes, Despara will be the main focus.

Now this raises the obvious question... how are they going to handle the She-Ra stuff. As I have made posts about before, the She-Ra rights and He-Man rights have been separate for a very long time and apparently, the last thing I heard, Mattel themselves can't use any of the She-Ra characters in animated form due to Dreamworks owning them now.

So naturally, you might be thinking that Despara here is just a placeholder because they can't use She-Ra. Except... there are a LOT of She-Ra references in this season that are way too numerous to be just references.

For example:

They recreate the exact scene from the 80s She-Ra movie where Adora is taken as a baby by Hordak in a flashback scene. They also mention Horde Prime existing as well and they EVEN imply that Shadow Weaver exists in this universe as well and Hordak's new robot second-in-command, Motherboard is a replacement for her.

So yeah, all signs SEEMINGLY point to some sort of She-Ra-inspired adaption being the next part of this show. Now, considering the very complex rights issues... I can see this going one of two ways.

Mattel and Dreamworks did a deal like the one Sony and Marvel did with Spiderman to temporarily get the She-Ra rights back for JUST this next season. Despara is revealed to be Adora and her arc will be her learning her true family AND eventually becoming She-Ra to fight Horde Prime with her brother and possibly all the other She-Ra cast are there too. This I feel like it would be the ideal solution to all of this.

2. Despara is revealed to be someone else OTHER than Adora under her helmet because her face is obviously not seen in her brief scene when she takes her helmet off. Technically, Mattel would own Despara outright and not Dreamworks and they could easily make Despara her own character. This was also how they planned to include her in the second season of CGI He-Man. HOWEVER, considering all the foreshadowing and knowing how many people working on these shows loved SPOP... I feel like it'd be really unsatisfying if it wasn't Adora under the mask, both as a fan and from a creative standpoint.

As for my personal theory of what Despara's whole deal is, I think she's ruling Etheria on the other side of the galaxy with Catra and serving personally under Horde Prime. Basically SPOP but a bad ending. The plot will be He-Man and his friends finding out about Etheria and going there to free the planet and Despara will redeem herself and she and Catra and whoever will join team good guy.

But that's just my personal theory. I really don't know what the hell is going to happen here or even IF more episodes will even be coming and I don't want to get people's hopes up. There's a reason I myself have been working on my own She-Ra and He-Man crossover extended universe stuff for the last while so, at the very least, there'd be a fanfic that would satisfy my hopes. I am prepared to be very wrong here.

But even if none of this speculation pans out, I still highly recommend this show to She-Ra fans. The second season definitely fixed the few issues I had with the first one and I hope more comes out of this version of He-Man... then again, it wouldn't be the first time a He-Man series was cancelled.

Hope you find this post informative!
