Masters of the Universe: Revolution

So I watched the first series of MOTU (Revelation) which I despised. I wasn't surprised that series got 5.6 stars.

Then, when I looked at the second series of MOTU (Revolution), I saw it got 7.5 stars, so I became interested again. Maybe it actually got better, or - more accurately - maybe it actually got good.

Then I remembered to look at the numbers properly.

The first series got 5.6 stars based on approximately 30 thousand votes. The second series got 7.5 based on less than 3 thousand votes. That's a massive difference in votes!

I'm guessing the people who voted so highly for Revolution, therefore, were mostly the small minority of people who liked (and probably voted so high) for the first series.

On that note, there's no way in hell that I'll be giving the second series a chance, and I highly recommend you do the same. Watch something else instead that isn't politically pushy and preachy. Scavenger's Reign is excellent and so are many other awesome shows out there that are just trying to tell a good story.

Felt quite nostalgic as I am 80's and 90's kid. It's definitely one notch up and you will feel that uppercut. Lot more moments of "yessss"" rather than "naahhhh". Very well paced!.

It was so much of fun to see RAM Man back in action, Teela doing her sorcery thingy and Evil-Lyn playing "Good-Lyn". It just feels like a good modern tech upgrade but still carrying that old vibe.

Skeletech, damn!! He is good...this so definitely better then recent reboot's that were released on Netflix, way way better then those. Very well written and presented with decent background score. Totally loved it and lived it. Just 5 episodes with rock and roll.

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.

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.

This was fantastic. I was a huge fan of "Revelation" and "Revolution" just kicked it up a major notch. I said it before in my "Revelation" review, and it carries over to the "Revolution" chapter: the writers of this show did their homework, across all forms of the Masters of the Universe properties, and managed to pay homage and put nods to almost all of it. So much of what happened in "Revelation" paved the way for the events that happen in "Revolution". I really enjoyed watching all of this up to this point, and am very much looking forward to the next chapter.

If Masters of the Universe was a big part of your childhood, you will likely love this.
