Battle Armor He-Man

A vast improvement compared to Revelation. Revolution brings He-Man and Skeletor back to the forefront and the feels of watching a colorful, action-packed fantasy adventure back in the 1980s. Rather being a grim, depressing character piece like Revelation, Revolution feels like an old-fashioned rock 'm, sock 'em Masters of the Universe adventure! The classic tale of good vs evil. The stunning hand-drawn animation from Powerhouse Animation Studios has improved this season; the voice cast remains stellar and the battles scenes are bigger and more momentous than Revolution. One of the awesome things of Revolution is the vast amount of classic characters we loved as action toys when we were children. Melissa Benoist of Supergirl fame is a better Teela than Sarah Michelle Gellar can ever hope to be. Chris Wood is fantastic as He-Man as he is evidently passionate about playing the role; Mark Hammill steals the show as Skeletor, even more so than he did in Revelation, and Keith David makes a solid Hordak!!! There are also a lot of surprises and twists that will make viewers very happy. Not to mention wish fulfillment in some parts, which fans have been for over 40 years. The show staggers from Kevin Smith's vulgar brand of comedy which are sprinkled in small bits here and there. The dialogue did get annoying at times, although not as cringe as it was in Revelation. Other downside for Revolution was too few episodes, which didn't give time for the story and characters to grow and breathe. Yet, the story is nicely contained. There were some changes done and unnecessary creative liberties done to the MOTU world which might not sit well with everyone. The lore has received some changes, where diehard fans prefer the mythology to remain the same as they remembered it. Another sad thing is that due to the controversy and division caused after the release of Revelation back in 2021, many fans who did not like the first season will have a hard time wanting to come back for Revolution. Although many viewers who did not approve of Revelation are giving Revolution some praise, calling it "one of the fastest 180s in pop culture history."

An aspirational show full of wonderful animation and great characters. A true story of heroism and being the best version of yourself. Every episode is filled with adventure, magic, otherwordly creatures and rich stories. Not only are the characters heroic, but also served as great role models for all kids growing up in the 1980s. John Erwin was aspirational as He-Man, in the same way that Christopher Reeve was as Superman. Alan Oppenheimer is unforgettable as Skeletor. If you want a dose of nostalgia full of adventure and excitement, and if you are tired of all the trash that is shown on television today, this is the show to watch.

A beautifully-animated, well-written show full of joy, adventure and excitement, and not afraid to get dark and edgy. It is full of character dynamics and world-building, and there's no forced political agenda which the Kevin Smith show went to far with. Despite some bold creative choices and changes, you actually get invested with the characters and their relationships. While its very similar to other properties such as Big Hero 6 or Power Rangers, it is still very much a He-Man show. The Power of Grayskull, Snake Mountain, the kingdom of Eternos is all there. The voice performances are solid, especially Ben Diskin as Skeletor, who is a complete scene stealer. In fact, he is even better than Mark Hamill in Kevin Smith's woke show. While this is more of an ensemble cast than the 1983 series, everyone never forgot or rather ignored who the main character is - He-Man is still the main character, he's still front and centre. He is the heart and soul of this show. He never gets sidelined or killed. This is a great new show for both kids of 2021 and parents who grew up with the property. Great entertainment for the whole family. So grab some popcorn and some sodas, and enjoy the show with your kids and spouses.
