Grey Delisle playing Adora/She Ra/Despera on the new He Man show was not on my 2024 bingo card but I’m very excited nonetheless

NEW HE-MAN & TEELA POWER-UP.

Adam and Teela's "Sailor Moon" transformation from Masters of the Universe: Revolution

[lemaistrechat]

Note how disapproving Buzz-Off, a lord of the Bee People/Andreenid monarchy, looks here.

So at the end of Revolution, He-Man declares

SPOILER (post is tagged, people!)

He-Man abolishes the monarchy and says the people have to elect a leader. Does he mean just Eternos, or a PLANET-WIDE ELECTION? Because in previous continuities, the planet Eternia has been full of other kingdoms than Randor's, either as vassals or just allying in some kind of United Nations of Good against evil.

Take a look at the core group of Heroic Warriors:

Besides humans and the only Trollan resident on Eternia, you have Avionian, Andreenid, Gar (blue people, who are independent, indeed isolationist), Rock People...

OK, so the Rock People don't live on this version of Eternia. We'll also assume that Gwildor's people (Thenurians) live on another planet, and no Lizard Men.

Then there are these people:

Then there are Caligar's (Whiplash's people). Beast Man is a, uh, beast man, we saw Mer-Man's Aquaticans in Revelation, there's Clawful the Karakoni... we haven't seen Kobra Khan or any Snake Men in this canon...

So how is this supposed to work, He-Man/writers?

Stole this idea from @catonamatchbox but a certain silly goober that might be running this blog would like some Gwildor Revolution photos because I don't know how get screenshots from Netflix

Pretty please with a cherry on top

Netflix MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVOLUTION, Teaser Trailer, January 2024.

[relatable-pictures-of-orko]

[pennamesmith]

Absolutely the best thing about He-Man is his kindness

[swervesfirstblaster]

noticed how much adam and teela hold each other in this new season and i cry

[waterfire1848]

I'm calling it. MOTU got the rights to She Ra and Adora. Adora will be back in the second season of Revolution.

[capndragn94]

She-Ra is part of the Masters of the Universe franchise, what rights issue would there be?

Masters of the Universe as a whole belongs to Mattel, and they have the rights to She-Ra's toys. However, DreamWorks purchased the rights to She-Ra's animated properties in 2012. That's why they haven't appeared together in a while. If She-Ra does appear in Revolution, it'll be the first time they've been together since the Christmas special in 1985.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution SPOILERS

A more spoiler-y follow-up about how rushed/badly paced this show was.

Again, SPOILERS. I also tagged this post #motu revolution spoilers and #masters of the universe revelation spoilers if you're temporarily blocking tags.

LAST WARNING

My worst-case scenario for the Horde was that only Hordak and new character Motherboard would get speaking parts. I was pretty much correct.

Mantenna, Leech and Grizzlor are in two scenes and have no lines.

Modulok, Multi-Bot, Dragstor and Mosquitor are not shown to exist. (Same non-appearance goes for everyone from She-Ra, but legally they had no choice.)

5 half-hour episodes make this effectually movie-length, and there's a "post-credits scene" equivalent (though before Episode 5's credits) where Grey Delisle (voice of Evil-Lyn in the 2021 CGI cartoon) appears as Despara. Yes, that made me happy. But now we need another series to give her and other Horde members screen time, space to breathe. It won't fix the fact that the Horde invasion of Eternia depicted here was ridiculously rushed.

Speaking of Horde invasions of Eternia: the one that took place when Queen Marlena had recently given birth in the 80s Filmation continuity also happened here. Skeletor has a flashback to when he and Hordak invaded the palace via a window. A crying infant Adam is seen with his parents and Skeletor crouching on the floor captured by Duncan. Skeletor is looking forlorn at Hordak as he escapes, and there's obviously something in Hordak's arms the animators are trying not to show us. If they weren't being so coy, it would actually be proper foreshadowing for the last scene! As it is, you need to be a Filmation fan to understand what's going on.

Heroic Warriors:

Gwildor has a key role. Snout Spout and Rio Blast are two new friends of He-Man who appear in a couple of fight scenes and have a couple of lines. It's not explained where they came from, which is especially odd considering that they're both cyborgs and people getting turned into cyborgs by a cult is a huge theme of the series.

Buzz-Off is even more of a cameo. We saw him at the end of Revelation. Stratos was at the end of that too, and I forget if they drew him into a crowd scene or not. In previous continuities, these guys were both royalty, and in Revolution Episode 5 He-Man abolishes monarchy and tells the people of... Eternos City? All of Eternia? To elect a leader. You'd think Stratos and Buzz-Off would react to that, but no. (All heroes who died in Revelation are also present as mute cameos.)

The short running time makes Eternia feel tiny: there's Eternos City, Castle Grayskull "outside town", Snake Mountain, a cave in Darksmoke, Gwildor's Hobbit house... that's basically it.

Evil Warriors:

Two Bad goes to Snake Mountain hoping to get a job. He gets a cyborg form. The Revelation versions of Tri-Klops, Trap Jaw, and Whiplash appear but have no lines. Webstor, Clawful and Spikor have new cyborg forms, also mute cameos.

Others:

Lyn is interesting.

Granamyr is OK. John DeLancie didn't seem to be putting a lot of heart into the role. The character is like a Cliff's Notes version of his Filmation self.

Cosmic Enforcers exist. We see deep cuts like Zanthor from Filmation and the canceled 1988 toy Strobo, but only Zodac talks (he's Jeffrey Combs).

Deadpool: So...you finished all of the episodes of "Masters of The Universe: Revolution?

Me: Yup.

Deadpool: So I guess you know what that means? (Prince Adam rushes in)

Prince Adam: YES!! THAT JOKE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD!!

Deadpool: Not only that...he's got to say one OTHER THING...(Deadpool puts on headphones)

Me: (deep breath)

P. Adam: Wait, why are you putting on--

Me: WELL ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!! 40 YEARS ADAM! ALMOST 40 FUCKING YEARS OF WATCHING YOU EITHER IGNORE OR HORRIBLY FLIRT WITH TEELA!!! AND YOUR FATHER HAD TO PRACTICALLY DIE AND ETERNIA NEARLY GOT TURNED INTO A TECHNO HELLSCAPE BY YOUR OWN DAMN UNCLE BEFORE THE TWO OF YOU IDIOTS FINALLY GOT THE MESSAGE! I WAS THIS CLOSE TO PULLING A CHRIS REDFIELD AND CHASE YOUR ASS DOWN!! NOW YOU GO FIND A HOTEL AND HAVE SEX WITH TEELA OR I WILL GO NUTS AND SUMMON EVERY FUCKING ELDRITCH ABOMINATION YOU HAVEN'T MET TO KNOCK THE SENSE BACK INTO YOU!!

P. Adam: Um...ok. (The Woman Formerly Known As Evil-Lyn walks in)

Lyn: I actually agree with the psychopath. Go get laid already.

Deadpool: I could have sworn those two hooked up in the comics--

Lyn: The comics and cartoon versions are VASTLY different.
