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.

Fantastic season. The first season Revelation was great as well. I only hope we get more in the series to finish up the story. This has been a great ride so far. Ive enjoyed the writing stories characters animation music score voice acting you name it. Very pleased. AND from day one I started collecting all the figures again. Something ive not had or done since the 80s. Please give us more to the story. Fantastic season. The first season Revelation was great as well.

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 liked last years Revelation, now was it perfect, in no way, but entertaining. I watched Revolution and I say was a little better, cause it goes more into humanity of the characters. Feeling like a mixture of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

The animation is still good, and the voice acting is also great, William Shatner, Mark Hamil, and Keith David to name a few. There is an homage to the 1987 film Masters of the Universe. I also like the way it shows that He Man may be like the Superman, but also shows he needs a team to back him up. I also like surprises you won't see coming. It ends with you wanting more.

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.
