Masters of the Universe: Revolution

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.

The first half of Revelation was simply horrible, but then came the second half and it was better.

Revolution, however is great!

This is what happens when the fan voice their dislike of something, and when those in charge listen to the fans. It hits all the right spots, the characters are acting as they should, they are recognizable, the Easter eggs are all over the place, which is a good thing, and the lore is there, those who have been following MOTU trough the ages will recognize all the proper implementations of the various alterations of the story. There is a bit of everything and it is well connected in to a coherent story recognizable for MOTU.

I hope there will be more and if they continue as they do we will have a great new MOTU show.

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.

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.

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.
